The Cardboard Diet: Week 3



If you are curious about what exactly The Cardboard Diet is go HERE!

Weigh In: Down another 2 lbs = Total 4 lbs lost! The biggest notice isn't so much in the weight, but the inches I have lost. My clothes are starting to fit better and that is a great feeling.

Exercise Completed: Since I'm in training mode, it's really important that I stick with my schedule. Five out of the seven days, I have been actively running, strength training, and doing Yoga.

Splurge/Guilty Pleasure: Last weekend, we celebrated my son's 5th birthday. Of course I had a piece of cake and pizza at this party. I notice that the more I workout and exercise, the better choices I make about what I'm feeding myself.

Success Story: I'm really trying to build up my endurance. I used to be a runner in college and before I got married and it tapered off after that. The biggest part of running for me is the mental aspect. I know my body is strong enough, but my brain gets in the way. I had PR on one of my runs this week and it felt so great.

Recipes: I don't have any recipes to share, but I have a tip instead. DRINK A LOT OF WATER! Everyone should be drinking half their weight in ounces of water a day. This is key to hydrating your body. Your body will function better, when it's hydrated.

Photos: I love Pinterest and pinned all of these this week for motivational reminders that I need every now and again.

Hey Tabaitha,

You should look into The Primal Blueprint--not a "diet" just a healthy lifestyle (Gets to the point and cuts all the fluff) We are subscribers to Marks Daily Apple, (www.marksdailyapple.com) which is great to read daily/weekly! "The Primal Blueprint" by Mark Sisson is a great read and I HIGHLY recommend it to jumpstart the Primal Blueprint journey! ;-)
