My workout yesterday wasn't great . . . I waited too long after I got up to go work out, and with no food other than a granola bar in my stomach, I just didn't have the energy.

Today, I got up and did my first day of 30 Day Shred (and lemme say, it kicked my butt even though I thought I was in okay shape!) before eating a light breakfast and recovering. In a few minutes, I'm going to head over to the gym for some more cardio: fifteen minutes on the elliptical and an easy run, I think.

Getting September off to a good start, I think! :-)

Today's workout is a 3 mile run & some light strength training at home (my gym is closed for remodeling), but I'm having a very hard time motivating myself to get up off the couch. On my days off I try to head out for my run as soon as I get up (like I do the days I run before work) but I dropped the ball this morning. Now I'm hungry so going to have to do breakfast first then wait long enough to digest.

The long weekend was a bit hectic. I did manage a good work out on friday, but after that...meh...My husband has been gone all weekend driving his parents to florida and the kids were super cranky from the weather. I definately ate way way too much food, the weather also made me cranky and we had a cookout. I did spend all of yesterday cleaning the house thought, so never really stopped moving until kids bedtime. I plan to work out tonight, but then i have to pick my husband up from the airport at 12:30am...yay.... I better get my workout in tonight because i'm sure tomorrow i'm just going to want to sleep.

I've been having a really good few days and haven been well within my calorie allowance (if you don't count alcohol!)
I stops some meds a couple of weeks ago that gave me a massive appetite- since finishing those I'm barely hungry at all! I'm actually struggling to eat enough!! This is something that has NEVER happened to me. I'm actually concerned that it will slow down my weight loss.

Anyway, my NSV for yesterday was fitting into a pair of jeans that haven't got past my thighs since I fell pregnant- my son is now 10months old! Yeah, ok, they were snug, but so what! They did up :-)

dragging this whole week....Between picking my husband up from the airport at 1am wednesday morning resulting in only 2 hours of sleep. Then wednesday night I had to bring my 2 year old to the ER for stitches on her chin because she was running and fell near daddy's computer chair. We can't even figure out what she hit to cause that kind of cut. She was fine, barely cried when they did the stitches, happy to get a popcicle and now is in love with her hello kitty band-aids. But...only 4-5 broken hours of sleep that night. Then last night, sorta got some sleep but got headbutted in the face a lot by my little minion. So more broken sleep....zzzzzzzzzzz....I should make it my mission to get her to sleep in the crib so I can get more sleep but i'm so tired and i know she will fight it for hours that I just can't deal with it....I am so slothy right now, I don't even want to be at work let alone exercise.
I've been tracking my food intake as well and its not good mostly because I've had to buy out lunch this week and I've been making some really crappy lunch choices. grrr.....I thought I did ok yesterday but then I caved and got that congo bar, and had a ton of rice at dinner later....and this morning just adding some toast with butter to my breakfast because I thought it would settle my stomach a little better added almost 200 calories to my breakfast. Didn't even think about it til after I logged it this morning....

I went way over my calories both days this weekend, so since then it's been about getting back to good habits. So far it's been going well! I've had some good workouts this week and yesterday I was well under my calories. Hoping it all evens out and I haven't gained any!
