So far, total calories are 1107 I have 293calories left

I plan on just having cereal w/ milk later on so that should top at like 190 leaving me in a nice deficit :) I like how I learned to be a little sly w/ my devilish treats. They still fit into my allotted calories for the day.

Oh I bought a jump rope!!! FINALLY For the past couple of weeks it has been 7 something and I will never pay that much for rope, sheez I'd rather jump the phantom one. But today!! I don't know why it was 3 dollars! : D SCORE

Did about 30 minutes of jump rope, so awesome and harder to do with an actual rope!

Dinner
Whole wheat roll - 300
2 ham - 30
Mustard - 0
Cake 1/4 of a slice - I'll estimate 200 I just wanted to taste that cake!!!
Total: 520
Grand Total 1627. Not in any way Ideal loosing weight calories but still close to 500 from my daily needed to maintain weight so I'm good. I'll hit the gym tomorrow, I'm actually looking forward to it. I think I'll let go of running completely, I was never an active kid or teenager for that matter and my joints are not used to that pressure (I sound like I'm 100). I figure I'll walk at 3.3-3.5mph and go at the incline of 8 to start and go up to 12. Then after that hit the elliptical for 30 minutes then then stair master thingy for 15. Tuesday is my free day and man Imma work so hard!! :D

quiet a lazy day~ I did walk to my old CC and visited my old boss and talked for an hour! That was fun. I also played Harvest Moon TOT all morning LOL I stood up though, if I play a video game I wont sit down, if I'm tired then I stop playing.
 
Haven't exercised :(

I really want to! I'm already close to 1600 for today.
I don't feel to hot but I'm going to change that! I think it has to do with my period about to come, yes I can sense it.
I won't let these few days get me down D: I've done AMAZING overall. I have to keep that mind set, I find that I feel blue when I'm not active or constantly working towards something. I like having goals all the time and downtime just messes with me.

I would love to jump on a bus and go the gym but I cant! My gym closes so freaking early on weekends!!! WHEN WE NEED IT THE MOST WTF BALLYS. I tried to find gyms that are close by and open late or for longer than 5PM on sundays WTF again! and I couldn't. I can't do my DVDs because our dvd player is connected to the main TV which my mother has taken over. I guess I'm just bitchy right now. I'm ok... I think I'm ok.

I'm going to shower and then prepare for tomorrow, at least that keeps me moving. I'll clean too. and do my eyebrows. and Iron my shirt for tomorrow. lol I'm actually starting to feel better. I pray and hope that tomorrow will be great. I know it will, I just need to chill.

I hope everyone is having a great day! :D

Exercise~ the past few days I've been walking in place quickly and working up a bit of sweat. Today however I went shopping with my mom and that was exercise enough! She leaves for a work trip next week and we're trying to make sure she's ready to go. On top of that her childhood friend will be coming to visit and staying the week two weeks from now so we're starting our spring cleaning and that will burn thousands!!

Overall it has been a good week, I've been good with my calories I keep seeing myself thinner~We'll see Tuesday ;p

The day is GORGEOUS!! It'll be 70 and in the North East (US) in April that is so uncommon! I'll walk half way home and then take the bus--close to 7 miles (I didn't wear the right shoes to walk home). I've done it before a handful of times and man does it feel great.

AHHHH what I'd give to weigh 145 right now!!! Thats my mini goal that I want to reach before I go America on the 6th of May! AH!

Anyways, you're doing great ladyyyyy! I also don't go to the gym when I get the monthly bill, it just doesnt happen. It's hard for me to keep my cravings in check when that time comes, I usually eat whatever I want on that day because I feel sorry for myself, HA!

Thats so exciting when you start noticing the change in the mirror! Like being more toned- and looser clothes! I love it, its enough to keep you even more motivated!

I am also with you on the gym closing so early on the weekends.. why would they do it!!! Cant they realize that most people work during the week- and have weekends off?? Logic people! haha

Thank you for stopping by Cheekygal!!! I think when I notice the slightest things I get a rush of happy :D Even today, my arms and abs are SORE so sore. But that makes me happy because it reminds me of how hard I worked the day before. I'll do the exercise dvd again today, I think today's session is just cardio but the guy loves weights so I'll see...

I asked one of the girls (receptionist) why my gym closes so early, and she just shrugged. Lol.
