Before After

Plagued By Hunger

Hello ladies! Hope all is well. TGIF, right???

Well, the first week of classes are done! 13 to go, LMAO. My classes are going to be TOUGH! I have already started reading the chapters and taking notes. I know that should be habitual by now but I'm the biggest procrastinator EVAR! So for me to be doing this is saying a lot. I don't even have an "easy" class. They are all equally as hard. Maybe not hard just intensive reading. Blah. I'll get over it, I'll make it. I just have to complain about it in the process.

I'm happy to report I did go to the gym last night. I did 45 minutes of cardio. 15 minutes warm up on the bike. I burned 85 calories, which is an all time high for me on the bike. I usually only get around 30-50 but I upped the level to 5, so maybe that's why. Then I did 30 minutes on the treadmill on incline, increasing the speed and level of incline every 5 minutes. Burning a total of 315 calories. Woop! I'm proud. THEEEN, I did weight training, focusing on back and arms. Then I ended with 150 abs. I increased my ab work out by 50, gotta keep the sore feeling to know I'm workin. So I'm happy with my work out. I will be back again tonight. I'll probably do the elliptical and the treadmill for cardio and thighs and abs for weight training.

I was on plan yesterday too. Maybe even a little under. I got back from the gym and couldn't decide what to eat for dinner. Ended up waiting until after I finished my notes and it was damn near 12am. So I just cut up some turkey lunch meat and threw it in a bag salad. Put my oil in it to finish "paying my bills."

Today will be on plan too. Breakfast was light because I was rushing and my banana went bad in my bag :( So all I had was a special K bar and water. Then for snack I just my WW peanut butter bar. So I need to get home and get in some fruits and veggies with my lunch. I think I will be trying Gwynn's casserole for dinner tonight. I'm going to make the full serving so I can have it for lunch tomorrow.

On the margarita issue: I looked up a margarita on the WW website (I have etools) and it said 5 with 1.5oz of tequila...and I did infact use the tequila...What's a margarita without it?! LOL.

 

Everyday I feel better and better! I walked into the gym yesterday and I didn't even notice I was just smiling away until the guy that checks ID's started smiling and spoke to me. I asked what was so funny and he said "you are just cheesing" I simply responded with "LIFE IS GREAT" and it really is! Happiness is a choice and I choose to be happy. And when I'm not, I evaluate why and make the necessary changes to get there.

So on that note, I'm headed home for lunch. Have a wonderful weekend and remember weekends are not healthyeating ends. Stick to your plan!

The last couple of posts you did have really been an inspiration to me.  I really needed to read the part about happiness being a choice.  Thank you.

Great job on the workouts!  Is mom or bf coming this weekend?

So True

What you said reminds me of my favorite Mary J line "I just wanna be so happy, but the answer lies in me". You only have one life to live, might as well make it as enjoyable as you can. Congrats on keeping on track, and I wish you much success and more skinny jeans than you have closet space
