hahaha, well thanks for the vote of confidence! :) I'm gonna do my damndest to get there, but that would be 9lbs in under 2wks, NOT so sure that even with all the hard work I'm putting in that I can get there. We'll see tho :)
 
So today I feel like I ate a TON of food, and actually came in about 300cals short. I'm not neccessarily proud of that(I know better than anyone that eating the right amount of cals is GOOD for you!) but I'm pretty impressed that I can eat a higher volume of food without all the calories. My fiber was a little low tho to, about 23g; I try to eat between 28-35 a day, I feel better when I get it all in. I also ate a small piece of cake today- every month my work has a giant cake for all the birthdays for that month, annnd mine was this month, so my boss made sure I had a piece before it was gone, lol. It was delish!
Workout tonight- did my half hour of weights, then did an hour and 35min of cardio. Another sweaty GOOD workout, but another "meh, don't reallllly wanna be here" workout, lol. After workout food- I was friggin starving. I know I shoulda gotten some protein in, but I was craving veggies(!!) and ate steamed brussel sprouts, lol. Delicious, of course, and nutritious, but what a weird craving for after a workout. Hmm.

Annnnyway. Off to bed, another closing shift tomorrow. I have a horrible feeling that work will suck something fierce, too. Efff.
 
Well I knew it was to be: work blewwww. Horrible day. efff. Its okay tho; day off tomorrow! YAYY! Tonights workout- NOT the greatest, I only did an hour of cardio... just couldn't make myself do more, like I usually do. I didn't even wanna go to be honest, lol, but I made myself do it. Uggh. Now its after five am, gotta get up in about five hours to go to the college and get some books bought with my sister. Will probably crash after that tho, haha. Hoping for a better workout tomorrow night- gotta get that weight gone yo!
 
So, school starts September 8th and the school doesn't even open the bookstore till Aug. 30th. REALLY?! I leave for vacation the 27th and get back 1 day before school. Lets hope there are still books left! Anyway, took a three hour nap afterwards (ahhh!) and I haven't done anything since, haha. Ohhh lazy days off. Love em.

Eating a giant veggie filled pita from Pita Pit: only higher cal things in there are the feta cheese, and the tzatziki. Can't REALLY tell where I am calorie wise today tho, because after we left the school we ate at Staggering Ox, and I had a veggie sandwich there, too. This is definitely one of the reasons I don't like to eat out: I can't tell what the calories are. *sigh* no prob. The bread is the worst part, and its not like some bread is gonna kill me :) I've been a little low on cals the last 2 days, and I'm fairly certain I'm still low on cals today so no worries :)
 
Gym tonight: 1/2hr weights, 65min cardio. AGAIN, just couldn't keep goin. Got really beat about 15min into the cardio, and had to make myself keep goin :( hate that. Really hoping to get over this little slump, or whatever it is, very soon.

What!! An hour of cardio is a great workout! You must have burned a fair amount of calories during that time! You should be proud you went and got it done. Even last night's was extra good - give yourself more credit, your doing great! Keep it up you crazy women going to the gym when you should be sleeping, lol!
 
Taking the night off from the gym. Juuust need a little break! lol. Give my legs some recovery time :rolleyes: I won't be at the gym tomorrow night either- some friends in town- BUT, I do have the day off, so I'm gonna try and get into the gym in the afternoon and get a workout in.
 
You'll feel a lot better if you go and then you won't feel as bad if you have a drink or two with your friends! It will be over in no time - just think about that feeling afterwards! Have a great weekend with your out of town guests but don't forget about your goals!

I went :) just a little workout, but I DID go... :)
 
Tonight I have a STRICT booze limit- mostly because I'm to broke to afford more :rolleyes: - and I hafta work in the am, sooo yeah. This next weeks work schedule is gonna take some finessing for the workouts... its a pretty messed up schedule. ugghg. BUT, my boss gave me Friday off (which is the day before I leave for vacay) so thats awesome! :) Its basically an extra day of vacation. WOO! Alright, gonna get some stuff done around the house before I start to get ready for tonight.
 
Yeah, so I stayed within my money budget on drinks last night :) only problem- I had more than I should've to drink due to everyone BUYING me drinks. Sooo, I had a few glasses of wine for dinner with a friend, 4 red beers, and a few shots. I know, horrible!
And even tho I know better, I STILL weighed myself today... stupid. UP two lbs. I know that we all fluctuate, and when ya drink ya get weird numbers, its just hard to see that and not be dissapointed! Its cool, I'm still on track, gonna work out and keep it goin. woo!
 
Hey hun, Im having the same problem as you. We both have been diligent on our work outs this week, my food has been good(mostly veggies, salads, tofu, whole grains), I only went out for drinks once this week(1 margarita on the rocks no salt, and a pint of bud light on WED) and yet here it is Sat night and Im up 2 lbs. I dont friggin understand it. People at work were like "its muscle"... I'm sorry but I'm not buying the it's muscle excuse. I don't know. I'm gonna tinker with my diet because something is off, maybe I'll cut back to low carb for a bit or something. I eat oats every morning... I dont know.... Grr. Ok ok going back to my diary now. :)
 
Ashley- I WISH I only had one drink, lol!
I guess I forgot to throw in there last night that after the bar we went to Perkins, where I had a side salad and a grilled chicken salad. AMAZING for me, cuz after I drink, I have no power to resist greasy foods. I DID buy 1 sugar cookie, tho. And I paid for it. Efffff. I woke up this morning and just felt like crap... Might not have only been the cookie, probably had a lot to do with the beer and stuff, but dang. I felt like crap most of the day. I actually feel bad because I was suppose to do a game night with some people and I just couldn't do it. Sat on the couch, watched tv, sweat to death- seriously, its 420am and its STILL 85 out there. issh.

Got to the gym at about 130, did a half hour of weights, and then did an hour and a half of cardio. SOOO happy that my cardio wasn't as aweful as it has been the last coupla nights.

Off to bed, gotta be at work at 10am, and hopefully won't pass out at work :rolleyes: yep. gotta do some serious tweeking to my workout schedule...
 
Gooodddd, I've felt like major butthole the last couplea days. Starting* to feel a bit better, but I did eat a slice of pizza tonight :blush5: , and my stomach is makin a bit of a gurgle. Errrgh. WOULDN'T have eaten pizza at all(unless it was one of my lean cuisine ones) but my human stick sister brought it home. And it just sat there staring at me. All delish like. So, I succumbed. But only 1 piece, so I'm actually pretty proud of that :) Had a fiber bar for breakfast, and for lunch a big ole veggie pita. MMMMM. Sometimes- and I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem- I'll get hooked on ONE thing, one taste, and then overdose myself on it annnnd then ignore it for a while, lollll. For me right now, its definitely Pita Pit and Staggering Ox. I LOOOOVE me a veggie sandwich.

ANNNNYWAY, I just ranted there for a minute, so I'll get back to topic at hand. Workout tonight was just cardio, as my weights last night were pretty much all upper body, and my knee is buggin on me again, so I didn't do the normal squats and whatnot for leg day. 1.5hours cardio, just over 6 miles. Ashley and I have our weigh in tomorrow, and I REALLY hope to see a good number. After seeing the scale go UP, with NO reason to do so, I'm a titch worried. Well, I'm lying a little bit: TOM starts in a few days, so that could have to do with a weight increase. Christ. Seems so unfair to throw a week of misery at us to begin with, but then throw bloaty tummys into the mix and thats just a friggin prize waiting to be won! Pssssh. I don't care if I see a good number or a bad number(tho I'm more inclined to be SUPER excited about a good one :) ) because I'm NOT giving up. Goddammit, I wanna have the body I deserve before I hit 30 in 2 years. HOPING that will only take 1 ;) !

Here's to a great day tomorrow, for EVERYONE, and I'll be back to update! :)
 
Todays weigh in: -2lbs. Yayyyy! OFFICIALLY at the ten lb mark. Ashley- don't think I'm hitting 17, lol. But after going UP two lbs, it was nice to see the scale back on track.

Eating some oatmeal before work. Will be back later :)
