Day Two Hundred and Fifteen - Another Day, Another Workout

I didn't meet my goal for today.  I really did plan to workout this morning and then again this evening.  I stayed up too late last night getting E to sleep, and now I've stayed up too late watching the National Championship to get up early tomorrow morning.  One of these days I'm going to get back on my morning workout schedule (or at least I'm going to keep telling myself that).  I did get a workout in when I got home tonight.  I am going to be adding in more core exercises, but I will tell you, the full three sets of crunches are really hard to complete.  I'm excited to get my core healthy both inside (with Plexus) and out.

I have another weigh in coming up in just over two days.  I'm really wanting to be down two and a half to three pounds this week.  I want to keep my average going.  I'm getting close to the weight I want to be able to start running at, and I want to get to it sooner rather than later.  If there is one thing that I am learning about myself recently in my journey it's that I am not as patient as I need to be.  I want the results and benefits of weight loss right away (or at least how it was in the beginning).  So I'm growing and learning that this will take time.  If I keep to the processes that are working, and stay accountable to my eating and workout plans, then I will have success.  It won't be right away, but it will come.  As I move forward with this journey, I'm learning to accept that there are things that I can't speed up.  Weight loss is one of those things (and if I could speed it up, I know it wouldn't be the healthiest option for me).  So here I sit, waiting patiently (with abs still aching).  I'm losing my butter half.

Calorie intake today was really good.  I had a slice of pizza with a side salad (first salad I've had without meat on it in a long time).  My dinner was a steak slider with potatoes and zucchini (yeah, we are eating all of our leftovers).  I got a full workout in on the bike as well as three sets of crunches.  Weigh in this Thursday.
