Worked out again!

I am so happy to be back in the gym. I feel like more of myself being active, it is hard to explain. I love listening to my IPod and reading US Weekly. I did 45 on the ellipitical and abs again. Tomorrow I am doing my first day of 30 Day Shred and and it is going to be in the 60's and I think I will walk up to preschool to pick Kellen up from preschool. That will take me about 35 min round trip. I ate 1300 cal today which I good since I an starving when I leave the gym.

Back at the gym!

I got my boot off last week. My foot is not 100% but much better. I went to the gym yesterday and did 45 min on the elliptical and abs. My legs are sore today but my foot does not hurt. I plan to start 30 Day Shred on March 1, which I guess in Thursday. Gulp!

159

I need to be better about posting here. Last week week was V day and Lee's birthday. Birthday season is over at our house, so I will be cheating less!
I have l lost 19 pounds since November. I must not look like it because the only people that have commented are my Grandparents. We are going to Houlihans tonight and I am getting filet mignon and creme brûlée. I was on my period this week so I am happy with a 1 pound loss.

I need to start weighing twice a week again.

I have only been weighing on Fridays the last few weeks and I find myself slacking until about Wednesday. I am hoping for 159 or 160 when I weigh in on Friday, but I have been above 1300 all week. Today I have done well. Breakfast - TJ's apple breakfast bar Lunch- leftover chicken taco and some beans and rice (from Costa Vida) Dinner- Bowl of homemade chicken tortilla soup with 1/2 an ounce of cheese and 1/2 a serving of tortilla chips. For snacks I had 2 chocolate covered strawberries that I made and 1 Christopher Elbow chocolate (which Lee bought). I still have 150 calories left for snacks, too.

161

I hadn't done very well this week. I think I averaged 1400 cal all week. Yesterday I got back on track. Today I had a homemade banana choc chip muffin got breakfast, creamy avocado pasta for lunch with an amazing biscuit I made. Dinner was skillet lasagna and mixed veggies. I think I am over because I am drinking a class of wine right now.

I got an awesome deal today!

A groupon like web site had a deal on personal training sessions today. The deal was 4 1 hours sessions and 4 prepared meals for 49 dollars. This is with a trainer that works out of my gym and I had wanted to take sessions with but knew I could never afford it! About 3 years ago, he worked with a girl I knew at the gym and she lost 65 pounds. I think mid march on the beginning of April I am going to get started. I would like to get some of the 30 Day Shred under my belt so I am not completely out of shape when I start. I am a few hundred calories over today and yesterday. Probably 1350 or 1400. That's what happens when you have Olive Garden for dinner yesterday and leftovers for lunch. I am hungry now and am thinking of eating a little something!

Pretending like the Superbowl didn't happen.

I could have done worse, but I know I was over in calories by probably 500. Yesterday for breakfast Lee made breakfast burritos. Lunch was a leftover half of a Roasted chicken wrap with black bean salsa. I ate 2 brownies yesterday, 1 cookie, and too much hot corn dip for dinner. I also had 1/2 a baked potato with rotel on it. Today was bagel thin for breakfast, turkey sandwich for lunch and 2 tacos with homemade spanish rice. I had 2 cups of green tea and for dessert I had 2 TJ's gingerbread men. Right at 1200 calories. I am worried about dinner tomorrow. My mom wants to take me out for my birthday (I pushed her off a week because eating was so bad last week). I think we are going to olive garden. I haven't been there for 3ish years and she loves it, so I thought that could be good. But so many calories!

A little over the last 2 days.

Yesterday I overate a little bit. My friend Betsy gave me a huge serving of Turkey Tetrazzini and I ate it all. It was so good. Then I busted open a bottle of wine at about 5 o clock because Kellen was driving me crazy! I was at 1313 yesterday. Today I had a yogurt for breakfast - 120 cal. We went to Costco and they had tons of samples because it of the Superbowl, so I ate probably 200 calories of those. Lunch was the other half of my burrito bowl from Chipotle Dinner was Roasted chicken wraps with black bean salsa and guacamole. They were pretty intensive to make, but light and yummy. Plus I had some tortilla chips. My big down fall was I made brownies for a superbowl party tomorrow. They are caramel brownies. Pioneer Woman's Knock You Naked brownies. They are so good, and yes I ate one. So good. 1300 for today.

162.4!

My goal was 163 for today. I only lost 1/2 a pound this week but with all the eating we did last weekend, I am happy! I want to lose 4 more pounds by Feb.17, Lee's birthday and I would like to lose another 5 by March 1. That would put me at 25 pounds lost! Yesterday for breakfast I had a banana with 1/2 T of nutella. Lee has been in Springfield for work, so on his way back to the office he met me for lunch. Lunch was half a chicken burrito bowl at Chipotle. Dinner was a variety of leftovers. I chose Avocado chicken salad on lettuce, with some tortilla chips. I also had a pack of skinny cow clusters for dessert. 1202 for yesterday. Today- A bagel thin with a cup of coffee with almond joy creamer (70 cal for 2T) Lunch - Turkey tettrazini at my friend Betsy's. Dinner- Frozen flatbread pizza- pepperoni with red peppers and caesar salad. That should leave me with about 200 cal to play with for snacks. I really need to be eating more fruit. We have grapes, pineapple and cantaloupe in the fridge and I don't even want it for some reason.

1225 the last two days

I am too tired to go into detail today, but I did pretty good the last two days. My foot is feeling really good and I am even thinking about trying to work out this weekend!
