How do I feel about my day? Lovely day. Gorgeous weather (it was colder, but I love the cold! I really do belong where I live). Got to spend more time with my father in law and his g/f. The baby is thrilled to have them here, she loves them already! I find it so interesting how babies/toddlers just intrinsically know who there family is. I also went to open enrollment for work to check out benefits and what has changed. Found that my plan went up by 14 dollars a month but that there is still all the great additives that I love! I get $600 towards anything fitness: equipment, classes, classes for my family, sports. So I'm considering getting another machine for home. I got an awesome recumbent bike this year (for free, gotta love that) and that has been a big part of my weight loss success aside from walking. Also, I fit into my old size 18 jeans!! Wooo!! They fit me differently though, little snug on the waist and loose under my butt and upper things, I'm cool with that though! But what it shows me if I really gotta work my core to get that belly fat away. I'm feeling so good about breaking my plateau and getting another pound GONE. Just overall great day!0 -

Did I follow my diet today? Not at all! I started with a good breakfast and went down hill from there. I did stay under my calories, but all I had for lunch and dinner was junk food. I even feel gross about my day.
Did I drink enough water? Not even close. And I drank a TON of soda. so now I feel SUPER thirsty, but my tummy is full of junk and I just feel gross. I dont even want to drink because of how gross I feel. I have a glass here by the bed through so I am hoping to knock it back before sleep time.
Cardio: (what and how long) Got a walk in and mopped the kitchen (which was an accident because I dropped and spilled the water pitcher all over the floor)
Abs: (any ab work and how much) none
Challenge completed? Only the cardio, triceps and biceps
Did I take my vitamin? Yes. First thing I did when I got to the bedroom.
How do I feel about my day? I feel pretty rotten about my day. I woke up late then I had school, and ate out of vending machines (which I really should just not do). I thought vending machines would be "healthier" than fast food... but I think now I would have just preferred a small burger (the burger wouldnt sit like a brick like the potato chips are). The only plus side to my day is that its one less day of class and we only have 1 week left until winter break.
Tomorrow I plan on making the day more positive. I packed a salad for lunch (I just have to remember to grab it). I pre-prepped breakfast so I can have something SUPER yummy, and I set an extra alarm so I dont mess my morning routine up.0 -

It was an awesome day, lots of fun, but pizza for lunch is a killer! Dinner wasn't so bad and I tried to put more greens on my plate than pasta and sausage and garlic bread, but I just LOVE garlic bread!! It was so much fun to see my daughter and her cousin play. They play so nice together!! I also got my daughter to CRACK UP in the car hiding behind the seat and popping up on different sides, lol. Took video and it makes her laugh to watch, hah! Overall excellent day family wise, not some much exercise wise, but Thursday will be better! I also get to go get my hair done, hooray!0 -

Nature of the beast, but it still sucks...18 years old, just too young. At least she felt comfortable and connected to us enough to call for us to know before it hits the paper. There's been a lo of loss this year compared to years past... Then I go shopping with my mother and she tells me her friend's dog was killed by her friend's daughter's dog...just terrible!! Dog just SNAPPED and was off a leash and attacked. So message for tonight, pray for those struggling with addiction, and always leash your pets!0 -

Lol! I went to go see Brave with hubby before he deployed. I didnt cry. The only disney movie to make me cry was UP! Now that was so sad cuz made me think of when hubby and I get old. He cried too by the way. He wont admit it now though. :P Oh and forgot to say UP is my fav movie of all time! :P hehe0 -

How do I feel about my day? I am feeling a bit defeated by my blood pressure. Its one of the reasons I started losing weight in the first place, and yet its the one thing that keeps me from exercising more. My boyfriend advised its better to take babysteps and just walk more than end up in the ER again though. He is, of course, right. Its just a bit frustrating. But at least my food is not holding me back, and I have lots of days off coming up to plan meals, and cook cook cook!0 -
