I'm back!

It's been a long time! I am sad to say my absence has not been good news. I probably gained about 3 lbs since I have been away. I haven't been exercising enough and when I do I ruin it by eating like complete crap. Today, I started eating right again & to start off I went for a 15 minute walk. I have started using my lose It app again to track my meals.

I actually made this really good dinner. I got the idea from a YouTube channel that i'm subscribed to. You basically cook a sweet potato in the oven for an hour than while that's cooking you saute (sp?) veggies (celery, onions, green pepper) and than after the sweet potato is done cooking you split it in half and put the veggies inside. SO GOOD! I will definitely be having that again.

I have made a goal for myself that I will go to the gym in the morning 4x this week before I go into work. It will be tough for me but I know once I get into the routine, it won't be so bad. I would actually rather go in the morning anyway so I can get it out of the way because so many times after work I say I'm going to go to the gym but I never do (insert excuse).

I feel good, feel motivated! and am ready to get back on track.

I will do an official weigh in tomorrow to see where I am at and once I see some positive changes, I will rejoin a Diet Bet. I always fall off the bandwagon half way in and it's annoying!

Alright, until tomorrow!

Goodnight.

Tuesday O Tuesday

Another Fail at waking up for early morning workout BUT

I did the T25 with my coworkers which this time around, kicked my ass!

I also went walking 3 times (1 run) around the track with my boyfriend.

Now, my lower body aches really bad especially my legs.

So I will count that as successful workouts for the day :)

Weigh In Sunday

Hello All & Happy Easter

I said I would post yesterday but I kinda didn't want to, to be completely honest. Okay, so I did workout yesterday for a good 50 minutes but than I didn't today. I had a two great dinners at my boyfriend's aunts house both Saturday and today for Easter so I definitely had my fill of a little bit of overeating. I am back at it tomorrow. I am hoping that I can wake up early Mon-Fri for the gym but if not than I will go after work.

Oh! I weighed in today at 156.8. I am hoping I can have a 2 lbs weight loss next Sunday. I have 4.9 lbs to go until I reach my goal weight for Diet Bet. I want to be committed this time around! So I am hoping I can accomplish this goal!


I hope everyone has a good night!

Thank God it's Friday

Hi all!

So per my schedule I did not work out today, I could have worked out early this morning but I went to bed really late because my boyfriend, Craig got a new 55" t.v. for the living room and I bought a t.v. stand so together (along with a friend) we set it up and it looks so good!

I do plan to go to the gym tomorrow morning. I am thinking sometime before 9 am just so I can get that out of the way. My eating habits need some improvement but for the most part it is doing okay. I just need to think more of the choices that i'm making before I actually make it because I tend to think about them after the fact. Ugh, so annoying.

Well, I shall give you an update tomorrow to tell you how my workout went. OH! and Sunday the gym is closed because of Easter Sunday but I will go for a jog outside if its nice or maybe even for another nature walk - who knows. I just am going do so SOMETHING. I'll make another exercise chart for next week on Sunday.

I hope everyone has a good night

Keep Working Hard!

Two workouts!

I worked out twice today! I did my 25 minutes (T25) with my coworkers and then afterwards I went to the gym for 35 minutes. So in all, that is about an hours worth of working out. I would say that wasn't bad :) I am excited to see what the weigh in has in store for me. I still feel as though my calorie intake could drop down a bit. I had a tuna sandwich and chicken caesar salad and a bag of chips from Panera and I feel like I could have done better had I skipped the sandwich and the chips. I just need to learn to make better food choices.

I am going to go to bed early like I did yesterday and go to the gym in the morning because I feel like I had so much more energy throughout the day than what I did today. I felt sluggish and tired. I think it was mostly because I went to bed around 1130ish.

So that is all.


Hope everyone has good night.

Yaay I did it!

I woke up at 4:50 and did my workout. Surprisingly, there were a lot of people there & I liked it better with more people. I was also wide awake, pushed hard and worked up a sweat. So overall, I say it was a pretty good day :)
