Thanks guys,
I appreciate you. Reality hasn't hit yet. I haven't taken time to just "be", things have been busy. We came home today and it took forever getting back. 6 hours of curvy road. I took dramamine cause I'm a terrible traveler...and it knocked me out within 5 minutes. that was great.
I'm trying to get back in the swing of things but things have been keeping me from my "plan" today I only did 60 min on the eliptical. I had a meeting right after that. I lifted on Monday but thats been it in 2 weeks. I didn't get sore from it and it was back and bi day. I lifted SO strong though, I was amazed at how built up I felt. i was careful not to go overboard though, as much as I wanted to.
I'm going to try and start going super early before my family is up. that will be hard for me but I spent most of my life doing mornings like that with my swimming so i'm sure its just a habit I need to get into. Plus I want to see if early morning makes a diff. in anything physically. Anyway, tomorrow will be my official end of2 weeks off so I'll just do a little lifting and some cardio.
Today I was 134, that was really depressing but since I'm not working out much and had a little vacation from it all I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I hate weighing so much though. I can def. feel when I'm heavier than I'm used to. my bf % today was 15.9 and I don't get how I can have a low bf and gain weight from muscle but not be fitting in clothes. Muscle takes LESS space than fat...but I'm not fitting in my jeans I had when I was 130 and almost 20% fat. its depressing
meals today:
2 scoops whey, 1/2 banana
large low carb tort, 1 T peanut butter
1 creamy fit n light vanilla yogurt, 5 pretzals
1 c chicken, red onion, green bell peppers, 2 low carb torts (dry fajitas)
exciting eh? yuck. well back on the wagon tomorrow.

Tried to get to the gym this AM ...just couldn't do it. Rough night with the 3 yr old. So far I still haven't gone but hope to later. I hate the later part though since I'm always full and can't run then.
Still just trying to keep the diet clean since working out is getting harder to do with a hectic schedule and not getting lots of sleep.
She, I normally shut down and dont eat when I'm depressed. Thank God. But I'm doing ok. I still have an appetite. Ice cream is still my weakness though. As long as I keep it OUT of the house, I'm good
break:
1 c soy milk, 1 scoop whey 200
snack:
creamy fit n light vanilla yogurt 100
lunch:
1 large lc ww tort 200
3 T homemade salsa 30
2 T ff sr cream 20
sliced bell pepper 5
1 c sliced chicken 200
1/4 c wild rice 50
snack: at the gym
dinner: 2 scoops whey, 2 T natty butter, 1/2 c corn. Random I know...but thus it is.
1300
updated* gym 30 min HIIT alternating 6.5/8.0 after 5 min warm up
20 min moving stairs
small amt of shoulders and chest. got bored and went home

Hi everyone,
Saturday. ahhh. I slept in until 9:30 this morning! I have had a raging headache the past 2 days and nothing touches it. Its been a pain (literally) and even made it hard to sleep. weird.
Today is a lax day. I'll eat as clean as possible but I'll let little things sneak in. Thats how I "cheat" these days. Makes getting up on Sunday much easier Last night I was going to each ice cream but I withheld my cravings and had 2 glasses of vanilla soy milk...which still had some sugar but instead of downing like 40 carbs, I only did 10
I posted new pics. Nobody better laugh.
I'm not going to the gym today either. I've ran the past 2 days and because I'm not really in "running shape" its taken my body by surprise and I thinkt thats what part of the headaches are from. My heartrate is up too so I'll back off till tomorrow or Monday. Monday I start fresh with a new routine starting to train for a half marathon Oct 1.
Well I have lots to do today. hope everyone has a great weekend!

Today has been hard. Our church is doing a vacation bible school this next week and my husband and I along with a few other staff are "superheros". Its a take off from the Incredibles..boasting the fact that "Jesus is incredible", which he is Anyay, I'm "avenger gal" and I have this superhero "wonderwomanish" outfit that is VERY uncomfy. I have to memorize lines and the whole bit. Its been exhausting. The cafe I manage through our church is going AWESOME. I'm in heaven. Today we had a taco feed on top of the cafe and getting ready for vbs to raise money for the youth going to mexico. I was sort of in charge of that too. We have a guy who owns 2 taco bells in town and he donated ALL of the stuff for the fundrasier. Full on taco meal from taco bell plus chips and salsa and stuff. We raised 600 bucks. Full day, just got home. Luckily I was smart enough to pack breakfast lunch AND a snack. People thought I was weird...but smart
I have gone several days now without weighing myself. thats a big accomplishment. I won't weigh until I feel different. As long as things are still tight I am NOT weighing. The pics I put up helped me though. they gave me more reality because looking at them I realize I don't look the way I feel. thats encouraging. I still hate tight clothes. thanks for the nice comments tho.
So I'm starting my new training routine tomorrow and I'm pretty psyched about it. I'm starting a new diary for it....so look for it and feel free to comment!

Geez! It sounds life you've got a ritzy cafe with Baskin Robbins and Taco Bell donating stuff! And I hope that skit isn't too long...there's nothing like scratchy/tight/generally ill-fitting costumes.

The superhero thing wasn't bad. Althougth scared to death I remembered all my lines and everyone cheered and whistled at me when I hopped up on the stage. haha. yes, this is church. lol. there is something empowering about playing a superhero. Its fun to get into character
We weren't supposed to mingle with the kids afterwards since we are sort of "mysterious" and they don't know who we are so my husband and I got to go out to coffee down the street alone and hang there a few hours before picking our kids up. that was NICE.
more of the same tomorrow
breakfast: 4 egg whites, 1 egg (drizzle of sf syrup), 1/2 c oat bran hot cereal w/ small amt of stevia 250
snack: fit n light peach yogurt, celery sticks 70
lunch: baja fresh grilled chicken salad with a TON of pico and no chips. 1/2c black beans 430
snack: 1 T peanut butter, 2 stalks celery 120
dinner: really not hungry. opted for 2 scoops whey in water (out of milk), 1 c broccoli 250
snack: 1/2 c cottage cheese, 1 T PB, drizzle sf maple syrup 200
1300-1400

Well I'm very much discouraged. I went over a week without weighing and thought i'd do that today...just cause I was curious. I also did my measurements FIRST. They are:
chest: 35
waist (at belly button, not most narrow point) 28.5
hips 34
legs: 21.5
calves: 13.5
so I lost half inch off my waist and went down half on my legs. I was feeling very confident...that is..until I saw 135.6! :O OMIGOSH. I wanted to cry. K folks I realize that muscle is heavy and I know my body fat went down. OH yeah btw yesterday I did that too and it was 14.9. BUT...HOWEVER....That spun me. I was sure it would be lower...way lower. Not that I'm so much noticing a diff in clothes...so that might have been lame of me to expect...but..Oh I don't know. the number plays with my head. I can see in the mirror and go "ok girl, you look pretty good" but then the number makes me think "you must look way different than what you're seeing in the mirror"
Discouraged
The other part is I'm having a heck of a time moving off my 1300...and some days not even making that. Is this still a starvation mode thing? I swear if my body doesn't whip into gear with that metabolism crap I'm going to scream. how much longer is this supposed to take???!!!! If I gain that much on the 1300 or sub 1300 then 1400+ is going to turn me into a whale!
SOMEBODY...ANYBODY!!! I need your guidance today.
K...onto post in my other journal...sniff.
