Day 81

Song of the day:  Jennifer Lopez - On The Floor ft. Pitbull


Wow.  I wish I would have ordered these shoes months ago.  They feel absolutely amazing and all I've done is put them on!  Yep, I didn't workout last night.  I really wish I would have, but it was like 10:40pm by the time I would have gone and that just seemed really late.  And 5:00am seemed just too early this morning.  I'm a little off now on my 5k training, so I'm going to run tonight, early Saturday morning, then late Sunday night.  I know I won't be taking that much time off between workouts, but it will still work.  I'm really excited for my run tonight!    


I'm really glad to see that the winter storm that hit West Salem seemed to miss Mount Horeb.  It's still really cold, but no snow!  And the cold is fine since we need to be inside packing anyway!  I feel like today should be Friday or Saturday.  This week feels like it's going by faster than it really is.  And I just remembered that not only do we have to eat everything out of our freezer, but we also have to eat everything in our fridge... why I didn't realize that at the same time, I don't know.  So we're going to be having odd combinations of foods this week!  Good thing is that it's all healthy food, and I really need to get back into eating healthy.


Due to stress and convenience I've been eating crap.  I'm really not expecting much out of my weigh-ins until the move is over.  I really wanted to be under 200 by the end of March, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.  I think I'm just going to hover around 205 for a while.  Oh well I guess.  I'm still less than I was at the beginning of the year!  


Oh, and Michael is proposing to Holly tonight!!!

Day 12- TGIF

Song of the day:  Antoine Dodson - Bed Intruder


Yesterday totally sucked.  Elliot still wasn't feeling good, I started feeling worse, and I drank half a diet coke.  I have a really hard time saying no to myself when I don't feel good.  Originally I didn't want to drink soda until I was 180lbs, but I just really really wanted one.  The plus side is that it's diet so there's no calories (or really anything else) but I just wanted to give up soda because it's not that great for you.  I didn't get in my workout.  I was totally planning on going and doing a really light cardio workout, then Elliot threw up on me.  For the second time.  Right as I was putting him to bed.  At that point I just wanted to get in the shower and go to bed.  I'm just hoping today goes better!


We are heading back home today, so I'm not completely sure what we're going to have for dinner.  I do know that we need to do some major grocery shopping because there's just about nothing in our fridge.  Kyle won't be home until late so I'm on my own for dinner.  Normally that would mean that I would order pizza or grab mcdonald's, but not anymore!  I'm thinking that a chicken breast, baked potato, and broccoli sounds good!  - and then I don't have to go to the grocery store, so even better!  I'm going to get my cardio in before we leave so I don't have to worry about trying to get it in after Kyle gets home.  I'm so ready for Kyle to get home, for the weekend to be here!  Hopefully I get rid of this cold and then I can get back to being excited about losing weight (or doing anything, lol).


PS: Did anyone else read about the changing of zodiac signs??  I don't really read my horoscope, but still!  First Pluto, now horoscopes.  What's the world coming to?

Day 11 - yay winter colds :/

Song of the day:  Taylor Swift - Long Live


Elliot's sporting a pretty intense cold and the combination of snot and coughing has made him not able to eat his cereal without throwing up or gagging.  I feel so bad for him because he just wants to keep going but you can see in his eyes that he feels icky.  The only plus side of him having a cold is that he just wants to be in my lap and cuddle.  Due to him being sick I had to cancel my walk with Maria.  Hopefully Elliot will be feeling better today so we can go tonight!


The spicy shrimp noodle bowl was a hit - no surprise there!  For dinner tonight we are going to have mushroom and provolone patty melts.  It's hard to believe that there is only 416 calories in it!  I'm hoping to get in my 1/2 hour of cardio today, but I'm starting to feel like I'm coming down with what Elliot has, and I just feel drained.  I'm not really sure what the protocol is on working out while getting sick.  Part of me thinks you shouldn't because you're body should focus on healing, but the other part thinks that you should because then your body is working and healthier.  I think I'll have to google this.


Kyle is flying back from Utah tonight, but won't get in until late and then he is going to Milwaukee tomorrow, so Elliot and I are heading back home tomorrow afternoon.  I'm going to plan out dinners and lunches for this weekend and I'm excited to try some more new stuff!  All of my recipes for the last two weeks have came from the October issue of Cooking Light Magazine, and I have 5 months worth of magazines to pick through!  The hardest park is picking just one!
