I just got back from the gym.  Tonight i decided that I need to add a little bit more now that 2 miles in 30 minutes is getting comfortable.  Tonight I did 2.2 miles in 35 minutes.  I jogged 10 of the minutes, that's pretty good, I don't usually jog that much.  I am pumped and I'm not completely exhausted.  It feels good. Yeah!  I watched Little Miss Sunshine which was on TV during my workout.  What an odd movie.  I went to the grocery tonight and bought some yummy fresh fruits.  The clementines seem to be quite fresh and sweet this year. 

 I weighed in today and after a good week of eating healthy and working out...drum roll please...I am down a total of 21 lbs.  I am so happy.  Now I just need to lose a little more to get to my 10% loss.  I am going to schedule my MD appt.  Hopefully things are looking better.  I certainly feel better. 

After gaining some weight back I am back on track.  I went and worked out today, yes!  I did my two miles almost back to my normal walk/jog combo.  Actually I expected it to be a lot worse physically than it was.  It felt good though, well other than my knee.  Some stretching and strengthening the quads should help that out.  I am going to resist all holiday food at work!  I am going to be healthy and skinny. 

 Tonight was my most amazing workout yet.  I did a 3 minute walk, 9 minute jog, and then 21 minute walk, another almost 8 minute jog, and another 21 minute walk.  I was absolutely exhausted by the end of it all.  And of course my calves were killing me along with my ITB.  I hope it all pays off.  I should go and do the same thing tomorrow.  I need to.  If I want to be that slimmer version of me then I need to stay on track and workout everyday.  I was good at work today because I was able to avoid the cupcakes that were brought in for co-worker's birthday.  I had about three kisses instead, I hope that was a better choice.  I go to weigh in tomorrow.  I'm not sure that I lost anything, I am more hoping that I didn't gain.  That would make me happy for this week.  Unfortunately I didn't workout on vacation, other than my SCUBA diving, but that was just one day.  We did quite a bit of walking but it was not heart rate increasing and therefore not much good for cardio.  Tonight however was extreme for me! 

 Things have not been going so well since I got back in town.  Yesterday at work I had a huge piece of chocolate cake and about 5 mini kit-kats.  It was horrible.  I know I shouldn't have but at the time they tasted quite good, I have to admit.  When I got back home I weighed on my scale at 282.0 and today I was at 290.0.  I don't know how that can be.  So, I have jumped back on my exercising bandwagon big time.  I went to the gym this morning and did 34 min. 2miles... and tonight did my 20 min walk/jog.  I feel a little bit better now.  I have a feeling that I am not going to be losing weight this week though which is horrible.  I cannot stray from my dieting anymore.  I must lose weight and I don't need sweets to make me feel better.  It sucks that life is not fair though and others can eat a huge piece of cake and nothing happens.  I got the short straw on that one.  Must beat the bad metabolism and keep exercising and eating well.
