TGIF F F F F

Oh yeah so happy it's Friday!  I can't wait to sleep late tomorrow, do homework all day followed by website work.. wooohooo!  A few friends and I are going out to a local hang out tonight to see a local cover band we like a lot.  It should be good times.  The place we are going to have the best wings in the world.  At first when we decided to go I was like "oh yeah WINGS!"  But after doing some thinking last night, I don't think I'm going to get wings.  I will eat a healthy sandwich at home, and then go out.  I will drink a few light beers, I watched something on TV a while back talking about what light beers has the less calories, and Corona light was the number 1 light beer.. So I will drink a few of those, and dance a little bit acting silly and goofy.  It's all about making good decisions, and my good decision today is not eat at home and not get the wings. 

We did not go to the gym yesterday. =( I was so exhausted by the time I got home after work.  I even fell asleep on the bus ride home!  I was super starving too!  I think I need to bring more to eat with me to work!  By 4pm I'm starving and holding myself back from hitting the vending machine.  Today I'll buy a banana or orange from our cafe for when that 4 o’clock hunger rolls around.  Last night we had fish.. yum yum.. With broccoli.  Good dinner. 

Today after work I have to hit the grocery store.  We need:

Toilet paper

Paper towels

Bananas

Grapes

Breakfast bars

Milk

Lettuce

Dish washer liquid

And that's about it.. Nothing major, just little things.

This weekend I plan to pre-pack my lunches like I did for this week.  It makes my mornings so much easier and stress free.  And I'm also able to see what I have for the week to come and what I need.  

For the gym.. I'm going to go solo tomorrow.  The BF is working.. So I'll still get my work out in.  Monday we'll start going again.. Mon, Tues, Wed seems to be the routine we like the most so far, so we will keep up on that. 

I'll try to post tomorrow as well and check in on everyone.

For foods I have today:

Coffee

Yogurt

Progresso Soup

Special K bar

(See I need to bring more food)

Orange or banana

Dinner- Provolone cheese, ham, lettuce, pickles, mustard, on whole wheat multigrain bread.

Other- 3 or 4 Corona lights.

Wow.. last night SUCKED!

I had a headache during the day.  After I got home it turned into a full blown migraine.  Through out the day I have already taken 4 Excedrin migraines, so I ate some tomato soup, hoping that would help ease it.. nope.. I ate a small snickers (chocolate sometimes helps)... Nope not this time.  I ended up staying in bed for the night crying myself to sleep... I HATE migraines! 

Today I feel a little better.  I just have typical side effects of a migraine.  Still have pressure on the side of my head, but I feel SOOOOO much better then I did last night.  Hopefully the pressure goes away soon.

Sooo from those two paragraphs you could have guessed I didn't hit the gym last night.  It's all right though I needed to rest.  We are going tonight as well as my lunch time walk if the rain holds out. 

I WI today.  And I am pretty happy with the results.  Over the weekend I weighed myself after being sick all week and my weight jumped back up to 157.  Today when I WI it was at 153.. YAY Almost back to where I was two weeks ago. 

Today for food I have:

Coffee

Yogurt

Special K bar

Progresso Soup

not sure what is for dinner... maybe fish? lol

We did it again!  WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

We ran we ran!  The BF seems to like to run.  This is great!  He def pushes me a bit when we are on the treadmills which I don't have a problem with at all.  Today after work we are going back!  We seem to have a good routine going at the moment.  And now with me taking the city bus home I get home faster then if I drove.  So we get to the gym about 610 and we're out of there and eating dinner by 730.  YAY not late at all.  I really want to use the rock climbing room at the YMCA.. But I think you need to take a safety course before.  I'm going to ask about that tonight.  That would be a great work out!

Oh and how did I get the BF to start going to the gym with me?  Well we have a YMCA 1 min away from our house, and we saw on the side of it.. "aquatics center".  So one day we went in for a tour.  They have an in door heated pool, racket ball courts, a full gym, a basket ball court, a BIG rock climbing room.  So once he saw all the things we can do he got excited.  We signed up last month and he's been a trooper with wanting to go.  Definitly beats sitting at home in the winter doing nothing.. watching movies and vegging out. 

On another note... My friend Ally FINALLY started posting here again.  It would be great if all my friends gave her a warm welcome back.  her name is importally on my buddy list.  Say hello to her she's been missing from here for a while.

Today my plans are:
~To walk my lunch time walk.  Which consisted of 2 miles yesterday.. So I'm gonna do those 2 miles again today!
~To run/walk 2 miles at the gym
~To do ab exercises at the gym
~to eat well

Today for fooding I have:

Coffee
Yogurt
Salad w/ Italian dressing
Apple sauce
Special K bar
Grapes

for dinner we may have some ham/cheese sandwiches.. we'll see.

I ran... I ran!

Yes sir!  I ran! 

At the gym last night we decided to do the tread mill.  I'm a fan of ellipticals, but there were only girls on those machines and the BF didn't want to feel girley.. (only guys were on the treadmills)... So we did the treadmill.  We started with a brisk walk... elevated the incline to 7% which is pretty steep.  Walked briskly for about 10 mins.... then put the incline back to flat and started jogging.   We jogged on and off for 2 miles!  It was great!  I was so proud of the BF. 

gettinfit... When the BF and I go to the gym we don't split up.  We work out together.. Which is nice cuz i got someone to talk to.  Plus he has never been to a gym before so I teach him proper gym manners like wiping down the machines after you use them and how to use them correctly.. It makes me feel good kind of like a teacher.  We're going back tonight to run some more.  He really liked the running.  I think I may be turning him into a runner lol.  Maybe I can get him to do some 5k's with me.  That would be great!  After we ran we left.  I didn't want to over do my body with trying to get better and all.  We went to the grocery store, picked up some healthy snacks.. went home and made dinner.  Which consisted of whole wheat ziti, organic vodka sauce, ground turkey, peppers and mushrooms.  YUM YUM it was delish!

Today my plan is to work... then hit the gym for about an hour, come home and watch TBL and finish up my project for school.  Which is due tonight.  Tomorrow is the last day of this class phewey I can't wait!  thennnn I start another... I can't wait for winter break.

On that note.. for fooding I have today:

Yogurt

banana

grapes

progresso soup

special k bar

dinner - maybe left overs from last night?

 Sunday Sunday Sunday
Wow I'm feeling pretty well.  Not 100% but still pretty well.  Friday after work the BF and I went out to dinner.  I was craving some mexican food and figured since I've been sick lately damn it I'm getting my Mexican.  (Bad idea and I'll tell you why in a min)  So we ate, went to Walmart, came home and I passed out by 10PM.  I guess I still wasn't feeling well.  

Saturday I stayed home all day in my PJ's.  I slept late, did home work and clean a little here and there around the house.  Today!!!  Sunday.. wow it's warm out.  My friend and I didn't go to NYC but I decided to shower and get out of the house.  I'm going a bit stir crazy.  So before I showered I weighed myself.........
Yeah my weight jumped back up to 157.. YIKES  WTF I'm thinking the Mexican food + being out of commission due to my cold helped attribute to that.  Plus while I was sick I wasn't really watching what I was eating because I figured I need all the vitamins that food can give me.  Ugh... Kindof back to square one.  I'm hoping that maybe the mexican food was heavy, or I'm retainging alot of water from salt or maybe the cold made me bloat up?  I dunno but I am changing it come tomorrow!

I pre-packaged my lunches for the week!  Which is something I never do!  I made sure on the gym days I have alittle something extra to eat.  Here I come and I'm going to knock my butt back into gear here!  But not too hard... I don't want to get more sick.  Tomorrow after work I am hitting the gym, followed by a good fish dinner with salad and veggies.  When I hit the gym tomorrow it will be mostly cardio, like I said I don't want to push it.  

Ok now off to bed ladies... you will all hear from me tomorrow.
