Josh and I have been working hard to establish consistent habits when it comes to going to the gym and preparing meals. We have been going to the gym four days a week for about an hour of weight lifting and we have started to incorporate ~10 minutes of cardio each day (when we have time). Josh has been a rockstar when it comes to meal prep and I have been so grateful for the time he puts in making sure our meals are set for the week. We did another weigh in with pictures and even took measurements to better track our progress! We agreed it’s better to track our progress through multiple means, not just the number on the scale. As we sat down together and looked at the pictures, while we were full of criticism, we were also able to see differences, even if they are small. It’s hard to stay motivated when the scale hasn’t moved much, but creating a foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits is going to take time.
We have found that weekends are very challenging. After a work week of disciplined eating and working out, it’s easy to “let loose” on the weekend with eating out. Our goal is to have two cheat meals a week but sometimes those cheat meals bleed into an entire cheat day. This is a habit we are working on continually. We are also very excited for warmer weather so we can start hiking on the weekends. Josh is also teaching me how to play racquetball, I need a lot of work but it is a fun way to get cardio in!
