6:30 am-Oh NO I have to leave for work at 7:00!
7:10ish am out the door with no food. I find little traffic (probably due to no schools open-spring break). I have 10 extra minutes! Burger King is on the way. Burger King for breakfast, not my favorite but I have to eat something.
7:28 am made it to work
10:00am meeting
11:35am meeting is over I have to grab some lunch so I eat in the hospital cafeteria. I've heard good things about the taco salad. Taco salad it is! It is very good but also very BIG. I think I ate 1/4 of it. The gals I ate with actually asked me if I had ate any at all. There was a lot!
12:00pm next meeting
1:30pm back to work
3:30pm leave work, drive to pick up daughter from in laws house we get home 4:30ish pm. Laundry to do, house to pick up, clothes to change (have to workout later), March for Babies to prepare for, and some Girl Scout work.
6:00pm on our way to McDonald's for dinner on the way to my parents house (they take my daughter to church with them on Wednesday nights so I can workout).
6:30pm drop daughter off at parents
7:00pm get to friends house to workout to P90X plyometrics.
8:00ish pm workout over
8:30ish pm stop at Meijer to pick up something to eat for breakfast tomorrow, also got some water bottles (I keep using my friends when I forget mine so I bought her some to pay her back).
9:30ish pm arrive home. Work on laundry some more.
10:00ish type on computer and end typing so that I may rest and relax with a good book before bed.
Good night!

No Workout
So today wasn't a bad day. I had a good day but not necessarily with food, or workout, or work, really. So, I guess the end of the day was good except I didn't get a workout. I met a friend for dinner and saw my daughter (she's spending the night with my in-laws). Now to watch one of my favorite shows and go to bed! Again tomorrow is another day. I strive to do better on eating and workout!

I Made It!
I've not exactly stopped but then again I kind of started again. I have some good days and bad days but when I noticed I was starting to gain weight again I thought maybe I should step up my game. So I had failed recently on writing down what I've been eating, today I started again. I ate A LOT but then I worked out A LOT on the treadmill. 1 hour! Here we go again! Tomorrow is a brand new day!

Long Time No Blog
Nothing noteworthy has happened for me to blog about. I'm still working out but I've been eating what I want (not when I want). The weight is NOT coming off but none is going back on either. I did have a couple of days I did not workout one week due to some family problems/illness. I keep thinking I will get back on track but my problem with that is it's a struggle and I give in too much.
Just last night I had plans to workout with one friend and another friend calls to see if I want to go to dinner and drinks with her. I was going to do that instead of working out!
Thanks goes to my husband for simply saying, "You're going to do that instead of working out?" As he says, "People find reason why they shouldn't instead of reasons why they should or can."
He says such simple things that make GREAT sense and put things in perspective.
So, yes, I went to workout instead of dinner and had lunch with my friend today instead.
I continue to strive for my goal and thank ALL my friends and family for their love, encouragement, and support!

Good Intentions
Well, last night I had my day planned but I forgot we had a carry-in at work today. I ate enough during the day that I haven't ate anything since before 1pm. It's 8:15 I am just now starting to get hungry and it's too late to eat. Which is fine. What isn't fine is that I did not get a workout tonight other than a little cleaning and moving some furniture.
So here I am. I don't know how many calories I have had today; I didn't work out to lose any of the calories I did have; AND I'm having a glass of wine. I think I might be fine with that. I had a bad week (my family had a bad week) and I'm NOT going to beat myself up about it. I AM going to have a glass of wine and if I really feel like it I will let myself have 2. I am going to watch Wipeout on TV because it's funny and then I am going to watch Private Practice because 1. I like it and 2. It's like a soap opera and you realize your life could be worse.
I refuse to give up. I know tomorrow is a brand new day! I will have a go at it again and I WILL reach my GOAL, it just may take longer than initially planned.

Inspiration Where Are You
I have found inspiration in many things. I have found it in friends, family, and books. So where is my inspiration since I have been struggling with working out and eating? I like my inspiration from books best, they seem to help me the most (and friends that workout with me). I guess it's time to find some new books!
I did better eating today until I came home. Dinner was fine it was a simple soup but then I spotted the cake. I had 3 slices! They were small slices, but 3?!? Why did I eat 3? I could have been on the treadmill. My excuse this time? Headache. Yes the headache was bad, all I wanted to do was either have my neck rubbed or close my eyes but I wasn't doing any of that when I ate 3 slices of cake. And yet the cake was SOOOO YUMMY!
In the end I did work out. I doubt it was enough to get rid of all 3 slices of cake but maybe 2...(one can hope)...I didn't do any cardio because I didn't want to shake up my brain anymore (remember it already hurt). So I lift weights, which I actually enjoy but they don't make me feel as if I am losing any weight, which is my ultimate goal.
Tomorrow's plan:
BREAKFAST: oatmeal
SNACK: fruit
LUNCH: undecided, either some leftover pizza (within my calorie limits) or lunch kit tuna salad
SNACK: gogurt and/or more fruit
DINNER: undecided, maybe soup again (it's easy to cook, ready in minutes, and low in calories-most anyway).
NO CAKE!
EXERCISE?
I think I will see if my friend will workout to P90X with me after our parent/teacher conferences at 6:20.
Of course, this is ALL after I work, which starts at 7:30 am.
Goodnight!

I Ran!
So in my last post I reported my trouble since I had my birthday. I made myself get on the treadmill last night. Not only did I walk but I also ran! I am stoked (ha ha) because I think/feel that I am back on track!
