you know what’s good when you’ve had a (long) weekend of overindulgence? starting the week (yes i know it’s tuesday, but to me it feels like a monday) off right. thank you very much ntc get toned kickin’ it workout to indeed kick me in the butt and thank you delicious breakfast that i didn’t want to end for fueling me properly :)
now? now it’s yoga and then beach time :) sounds good to me!
I need to follow more happy/healthy weight loss blogs!!
today was mehhh. it started out great with a run and ended with a mini binge.
i mean that run sucked again, like it was better than saturday’s but my legs were dead the four miles this morning, i literally felt like i was forcing them to move. i wish this would stop, just because it’s annoying really i don’t want to be forcing myself to run. i was in such good spirits. i wanted to run, my legs, however, did not.
i ate a good breakfast, good lunch, even dinner wasn’t bad, except for the extra pasta salad but then i had 4 mini scones with chocolate chips, why? i didn’t not need 4, one would have sufficed very well. i feel overfull, bloated, and gross. i’ve been having amazing body days, but believe me today wasn’t one.
*deep breath* i need to move on and push forward, i can’t change the past, but i can make tomorrow better.
plan for tomorrow:
and i had a really shitty, 5 mile run on saturday, didn’t exercise at all today, just basically felt like a bum and i ate a lot today, like a hamburger, taco salad and 3 brownies, BUT tomorrow is monday, and monday is the start of a new week.
what sucks is that i’ve been SOOOOO ridiculously happy with the progress my body has been making that i’m pissed i slipped this weekend, but that’s in the past now. i’m turning it around and kicking my ass back into gear. starting with tomorrow:
the plan:
memorial day winning ahead!
Sexy legs Saturday appreciation post :)
yesterday included lots of delicious eats:
lunch: salad with spinach, strawberries, blueberries, mozzarella and balsamic vinegar - i under estimate balsamic vinegar it’s delicious! and 1/2 english muffin with 1 tbsp of peanut butter
dinner: delicious salad from work that included mixed greens with apples, cranberries (<3), and feta with balsamic dressing (not pictured the cannoli that followed haha)
anyways yesterday i started my second job - a hostess in a restaurant attached to an off-track betting facility haha complicated i know, but it seems really awesome, like the people there are great and it’s not too crazy busy so I won’t get overwhelmed. only thing is i have to go back today and tomorrow, so there goes most of my memorial day weekend for training, oh well. i’m making money, woo.
i really liked my outfit for work yesterday and my makeup, though you can’t really tell from this picture.
workout-wise (just so i have a record) yesterday included: jeanette jenkins 45 minute get toned ntc hollywood workout and leah kim’s 45 minute yoga routine. god i’m really starting to love yoga :)
if only the sun was out, this would have been the perfect morning! I got up, ate a banana and drank 1/2 glass of milk (which I need to start drinking more over, hello calcium). Then I did Jeanette Jeankins’ Hollywood workout for ntc. It was a hell of a workout let me tell you. It was a mix of kickboxing, strength training and yoga. I’m still not sure how I felt about the whole thing though, because I’m not a huge fan of kickboxing and I’d say about 15-20 minutes out of the 45 minute workout were dedicated to kickboxing, but at the same time, I felt like a badass for completing it because I was pouring sweat by the end of it, as you can tell from the picture above. Some of the moves were killer too, like there’s a four minute sequence of “alternating step back lunges with a shoulder raise into a single leg deadlift and row”, holy crap. I’ll probably do it again, but not within the next couple weeks.
ALSO, forgot to mention - I have been having some amazing “body days” recently. Maybe it’s because I’m exercising and eating better again, but I’m really starting to like the way my body looks, even my stomach, which as many of you know is the spot I hate the most. AND the scale even coincided with these feelings (i know when does that happen?!?), down to 142 this morning!
Anyways, I also made myself an amazing breakfast, egg whites, salsa, tortillas, scallions, onions and a pinch of cheese with coffee. Now I get to sit here, sip my delicious cup of coffee and stalk all of your beautiful lives :) Once all this digests, it’s yoga time and hopefully by then the sun will be out…
