Journey to a Better Life

Campus was closed today because of the weather.  We got some snow and I really enjoyed my day off!

• Breakfast: Toast with almond butter and a banana, coffee with creamer and splenda.
• Lunch: a bowl of apple jacks
• Dinner: Spaghetti with meat sauce, toast, green beans
• Snack: 3 oatmeal scotchies, a cookie that my roommate offered me (it was delicious… it had a rolo in the middle), and a glass of milk.
• Water: 2.5 liters.  I was sucking it down today!

I didn’t work out because I have been in my pajamas all day.  And even though I just wanted to stay curled up in bed a watch TV on my day off, I actually did a LOT of homework instead.  It’s going to be a REALLY busy week, so I had to start it off on the right foot. I will definitely work out tomorrow, though! It’s still early, too, so depending on how much of this paper I get done, I may squeeze one in tonight!

I’ll get back on the blogging wagon tomorrow.

Hope you guys had an excellent weekend!

I didn’t track a single thing I ate today. I was so busy and I just kinda ate whatever. I know I wasn’t under calories, though. :-/

I did just finish exercising though! I feel so good, too! :)

I went out to eat last night and had pie for dessert which is why I went over by so many calories.

I just love dessert.  I also didn’t work out yesterday.  I had a lot of homework to catch up on and before I knew it, it was 11:00! I know, I know… excuses.

I WILL exercise today! Mark my words!

Today was so busy! I woke up at 6:30, drove back to school, and then a day full of class and meetings. I’m very tired. I had a good day on the food front.

• Breakfast: None. I did have a large cup of coffee with milk and Splenda, though.
• Lunch: A delicious sandwich from Which-Wich and some baked lays.
• Dinner: The same exact sandwich I had for lunch, but with Sunchips this time. I also had a cookie. :)
• Snacks: None today.

For my workout today I did The Biggest Lost Power Sculpt DVD Level 1. I really liked it! I think I need more weight training… I wanna tighten up my flab! I will alternate between that and cardio, though.

That was today in a nutshell. I’m about to curl up in my bed and watch TV until I go to sleep. I’m being a bad kid and not doing any homework. :)

Have a good night, everyone!

I had a good day on the food end of things!

• Breakfast:Toast with peanut butter, coffee with Splenda and Skim milk
• Lunch:2 pieces of cheese pizza (not what I wanted for lunch, but it was free).
• Dinner:Bow tie pasta with marinara sauce, a small salad, and a roll. I had fruit salad for dessert.
• Snacks:None today
• Water:1.5 liters (and quite a bit of diet coke)

For a workout I did the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD again. It was harder because I was sore from the last two days! I’m hurting right now, too! I know that being sore is a good thing, though! I’m only using 3 pound weights right now and it kills me! I can’t wait to get stronger and can start using heavier weights! :D

I’m hoping that I have a good day today! I only have one class and then work, so it shouldn’t be too bad. Then I have plans with my friend Mandy to have a little girls night in thing. We’re going to eat, study, and watch a movie. It should be fun!

I hope you all have a great day, too!

Another day under my calorie goal!  The only bad thing about this is that I didn’t work out.  I still may squeeze one in before bed, but probably not because I’m getting tired and I’m thinking that an early bed time will be nice.

• Breakfast: Toast with peanut butter, coffee with skim milk and splenda.  I was supposed to have a banana (that I stole from the cafeteria yesterday) but my roommate ate it.  :(
• Lunch: Lean cuisine cheese raviolis and edamame.
• Dinner: Quesadilla night!!!! They were freaking delicious.  I had chicken, sauteed pepper and onion, seasoned black beans and corn, refried beans, baked chips, salsa, and rice.  So good!
• Snacks: none
• water: 2 liters

Today I had one class and then work.  Work was really laid back and we weren’t very busy.  After work I came home and watched TV.  I love TV.  It’s probably why my social life is basically nonexistent. By probably, I mean definitely. Haha! After TV time, Mandy and her boyfriend, Jake, came over and we had quesadillas. I also managed to talk Jake into helping me with physics homework. Hehe.  He said it was payment for dinner.  Truthfully, I barely understood one thing he said, but I nodded and smiled anyway.

I’m off to get ready for sleepy time and probably watch some more TV. Good night everyone!

I remembered to weigh in this morning. 

• STARTING WEIGHT: 212.6
• LAST WEIGH IN: 210.4
• CURRENT WEIGH IN: 211.4
• CHANGE: + 1 pound

Not awesome.  I gained a pound over the past week.  I’m not surprised because of my weekend, though.  I must look at the positive side though: In January I lost 1.2 pounds. That’s not the biggest number in the world; it’s nothing to get too excited about.  But a loss is a loss no matter how small.

February will be different! I’m getting serious! :)

Not too awesome yesterday. I would have posted this sooner, but tumblr was being stupid and malfunctioning. Lame. Here’s the breakdown:

• Breakfast: Toast with peanut butter, coffee with splenda and skim milk
• Lunch: Tuna sandwich on wheat, baked lays, skinny cow milk chocolate cluster things.
• Dinner: tiny bit of pasta with marinara sauce, dinner roll, 4 tiny pieces of pizza, 4 cookies. <—- I know. Eeew.
• Snacks: None today
• Water: 2 measured liters plus 2 GINORMOUS glasses full… probably 4 liters of water today.

For a workout I watched two 45 minute TV shows and did a combination of moves that I do in my workout DVDs. It was fun! I got to watch TV, work out, and save time. Win, win, win! :) I forgot to weigh in today… I’ll try and remember tomorrow!
