Hello ladies! Hope you all are having a fabulous week. I'm still adjusting to working 8 hours a day, fighting traffic for an hour and a half and waking up at the ass crack of dawn. Ugh. Other than that, I'm just fine.
So, it's 11pm, I just finished working out and I feel it's too late to be eating dinner. We all know my deal with eating before a workout, so I didn't. I sat on the couch and watched TBL finale! Although I didn't watch a single show all season, I saw the finale and it was just as inspirational. I really wanted the blonde on the black team to win. After I watched TBL finale I did my 50 workout DVD*. So I will eat a piece of a chicken breast and call it a night. I don't want to go to sleep on a full stomach.
*I stopped by Ross on my way home from work and they had TONS of work out DVD's...Belly dancing, hip hop, walk away fat, ultimate body workout,etc...I got the the 2 latter. They were only $3.99 & $4.99. So if you need work out DVD's go to your local Ross. I had a giftcard for something I returned and used some of it on my work out dvd's...One mission accomplished!
My lesson learned today: Don't under estimate the workout DVD's! It had me sweating and breathing hard and everything. And its way harder to work out on tile floor than carpet. And don't do it barefoot either...Even at home you gotta work out with shoes...And that's today's lesson students!
The breakroom snacks saga continues..Today was Shipley's and cake. Like wtf is that about?! WHHHY are they doing this to me? My coworker was like we haven't had this much food in so long...Why would they choose to when the girl who has no willpower with foods and mindless eating habits comes back to work?! *sigh* Lets just say I fell victim to a piece of cake and 6 donut wholes. I just couldn't stop eating the donut wholes..It's like my body was like "ooow I love these havent had them in a while, neeed more!" and my mindless self just listened. I need to make notecards like another EP'er does. Because this is just ridiculous. Tomorrow there is no mindless eating. Sad part is I BRING 100 cal snacks to work...Gotta stay focused.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day at work so hopefully I won't have to eat the junk.
Food log:
Breakfast: 100% fruit juice and applesauce
Lunch: Grilled chicken ceasar salad w/ranch & an orange
Dinner: a few pieces of satued(sp?) chicken breast
Wins for today:
40 oz of water(better than the 20 of recent days)
Stayed on menu (except for mindless eating)
Bought my workout DVDs
Did 50 minute workout DVD & actually broke a sweat
Ate 2 servings of fruit
Opportunities:
Control mindless eating
Eat less sugar
add more water to diet
Find a quick healthy breakfast to eat on the go
Ok, it's late and I need to get in bed within the next 30 minutes, so I'm off.
Have a happy hump day!

Notecards!
They definitely work! If I get some time at work today I will try and pick out a few of my favorites and post them to you.
is full of temptations...but what's fun about it is that we can actually plan what we'll be eating (therefore eat your 100 cal snack before heading to the breakroom). Or maybe just avoid it completely? lol..good luck girl =D IT'll all be fine.
Good job on the dvd!! I suppose i wouldnt be able to do something like that because of my neighbors downstairs. Take advantage of it!! ciao
I just got a Billy Blanks DVD. Unfortunately my living room is kinda small, so it's tough to get in a lot of good kicks. I also have Yoga and Sculping DVDs from The Firm. I really should try them out.
I loved watching TBL this season. The next series starts January 1st - should be interesting.
Have a great day - and stay away from those dessert tables!
Sorry I have been MIA on your post lately. I still love ya. lol Thanks for being a loyal friend to my blog regardless if I visited you or not. That is mad cool. I think you have done an awesome job with your workouts and eating. Yeah I found out the hard way that you have to wear shoes when you are working out especially with the work-out ball and carpet and no shoes=carpet burns.
I hope you have a great day, and I feel you on the desserts they are delivering cupcakes to our workstations at 3:00 today. Say it aint so.
Hey, thanks for the tips on the workout DVD on Ross. The next time I go there, I will check it out. I'm always happy to find cheap things to save money.
We all flubb up from time to time and eat something we "think" we shouldn't. As long as you are working out, you should be fine. I've had cake a couple nights in a row but I got my butt on the treadmill anyway, when I seen how few cals I burned in the 30 mins, It made me not even want to look at cake..I got home and threw it away b/c it's totally my down fall.. But don't beat yourself up about it, you'll be OK as long as you stay active. Keep up the excellent work!
Those workout DVD's arent a joke. When I first purchased them I underestimated them! Now I have so many, sometimes I don't know which ones to choose. Suggesting the note cards where a good idea maybe I ought to give them a try!
Well, if you're working out than you should try and get some kid of nurition in---- so could you try a protien shake either before or after you workout???
I did that the other day with sausage balls in the workroom. I literally stood at the table eating the sausage balls out of the container. I felt like a drug addict or something. LOL!! Things will be returning to normal very soon I promise!
