I was very much in love with the 300 abs routine I was supposed to do this week, but I ran into a bit of a snag. My husband and I have decided that we should try to have a baby this year. I have been on birth control for 14 years with only 1 six month break. Needless to say, I went off of it 2 weeks ago. This week I began to show signs of withdrawal- nausea and headache at the same time each day for 4 days, followed by dizziness and absolute loss of appetite. I wanted nothing to do with food for 3 days and barely ate. Yesterday (Saturday) was the very first time that I ate three square meals and a snack! I didn't realize how much I missed food! Monday was the only day I did exactly what I was supposed to do- Full 30 min cardio on the elliptical and weights for my arms and the 300 ab workout. Wednesday I snuck in 30 min of cardio and leg work before the nausea kicked in. I'm disappointed that I was unable to follow through.
I have decided to restart this program beginning tomorrow and I am happy to feel like myself again. I found a new app on my phone called "Lose it!" It tracks the calories you eat every day as well as your workouts and helps you to achieve your weight loss goals. Its so cool, I made my husband download it as well! -J
