Spring Chick Challenge Week 10

Hello Spring Chicks week 9 was good for me. I did great with my time management and exercise and as usual my eating habits. But i'm still having a hard time tracking my meals although it only takes two seconds to type it in my cellphone. I write it down and then forget to put it in my phone. Working in a doctors office I can't have my phone on all the time because of the diagnostic equipment.

Anyway, Week 10 will be a little different for me. In support of the church leaders who are doing a fast for 21days some of us have decided to join in on the fast but just do it for 10 days. So for 10 days from 6am to 6pm I can only eat fruits and vegetables and only drink water. Which shouldn't be to hard but we will see. At work I should be ok, the weekend will be the true test. I just have to remember when I am starving at 6pm not to eat the whole house down.. LOL!!!

SPRING CHICK CHALLENGE WEEK 6

Week 5 update: Well I haven't gotten back into the groove of things just yet. Still only was able to exercise 3 times this week. Which was better than week 4 when I was placed on bed rest and did no exercise. My schedule doesn't change much from week to week and I try to keep it the same because I am so busy. One thing i'm glad for is that the anniversary party is almost here that is one less stressful thing I will have to worry about. I'm pretty much able to stick to my diet with no problems so that is not a problem for me its just trying to fit in the exercise and keeping up with the blog and logging my meals. I write them down but then forget to enter them on myfitness pal... Good luck this week everyone!!!!

Spring Chick Challenge Week 4

Week 3 went ok I lost one pound . Week 4 Started off as a bust for me I was sick and didn't have a chance to post anything Sorry!!! I did try to keep up with my diet although I was sick at the beginning of the week it was a little hard, I had to I couldn't keep anything down. As for my schedule it remained the same. It is really terrible when you get points taken away 10plus from a grade for missing school so I sucked it up and took my butt to class and work... The one bad thing about working for a doctor.  It's bring your butt to work so I can give you some shots to make you feel better... Which did get rid of the nausea but I still could not eat much, well at least keep it down.

I hope everyone else is having a better week!

Week 2 Update

This week has been very difficult. Starting back school full-time, working full-time, practice and trying to fit exercise in has proven to be a serious challenge. I barely got any sleep all week. My insomnia is back so that really doesn't help when i'm just getting in the door at 11:00 or 11:30 PM every night.

I'm not gonna give up. I'm gonna keep on moving. I sincerely want to thank all my Chick Challenge Sisters for all their support.

Stay Blessed
Andrea
