Week 3- Changes

We have movement people! The scale is working in my favor this week. I am down 2 lbs. And even if it is just water weight, I will take it. I am consuming a minimum of 78 ounces of water and a maximum of 1 gallon. I also have commited myself to eliminate coffee from my diet for now. I have trained myself over the last 6 months to drink my brewed coffee with sugar free vanilla and a small amount of cream instead of the latte or machiatto that I had learned to drink when coffee was new to me. Then recently I decided that I need to get used to drinking my coffee black. So baby steps...until now I have my brewed coffee with just 2 pumps sugar free vanilla and a splash of skim milk. And I love it that way. It is definitely how I prefer it. Giving it up for this new fitness goal is worth it. If I feel the need for caffiene I will have an unsweetened green tea. Somehow I think I will manage without coffee. :) This week I am a little extra tired because I am going to bed later than usual and still waking up at dawn with Gage. :) That boy is up with the sun. However I am still getting great workouts. Yesterday I did legs and abs. Leg days are by far my favorite. They always have been. I am not totally sure why. Maybe because I feel most strong when I am using my legs. I also added weighed hip thrusts at 60 lbs. It was my first time doing them weighed and I am already feeling the soreness. It is a beautiful thing. This morning (Tuesday) I was able to get a workout in. Which is rare. Actually so rare that I don't think I have gone to the gym on a Tuesday morning in 3 years. But Kyle's work schedule had him home this morning. So he told me that he would take the kids to school so I could get a workout in. BEST HUSBAND EVER! So I did sprint drills and abs. I am trying to increase my speed on the treadmill. This morning I got my speed to 8.5. I don't really know how often I should increase my speed or how long it should take for me to get to a speed of 10. But my plan is to try it tomorrow. Wish me luck! Hopefully I don't have a gym fail and go flying off the treadmill. Could you imagine that humiliation. :) My diet is clean this week. And I can feel the difference. Lots of veggies and lean protein.
