30 day shred--bicycle crunches
I recently started 30 Day Shred (today was day 4) and the first 2 days were super rough, ESPECIALLY the bicycle crunches. I could do like 20 seconds of the minute the video has you do before I felt like I was dying and had to stop. Today, however, I managed to do the full minute!! SCORE! I also managed to get through the…

Shopping
So this weekend I went shopping for some capris as all of my capris ands shorts from last summer are too big :) and when I got into the store I was approached by a sales associate who asked what I was looking for and directed me to the capris. They were a really light wash and I asked her if she had anything in a darker…

canned soup
I always have a hard time knowing how to log canned soup because i don't drink the broth. Today for lunch I had a can of progresso herb chicken and dumpling. I ate all of the chicken, dumplings, and veggies, and dumped the buttery broth down the sink. What I ate is equivalent to about half of the can but I know the…

Running NSV
I'm currently doing the c25k program. Today was the day I've been dreading since one day a couple of weeks ago when I realized I would be expected to run for 20 minutes straight. 20 minutes? YEAH RIGHT! And it's not like it gradually works up to that...it goes from 8 mins to 20 mins in ONE DAY. INSANE. But what's really…

25 lbs down, FINALLY a NSV
So in the past 2.5 months i am down 25 lbs, not really noticing it other than my pants being slightly baggy. Until today! I went shopping for clothes to start my student teaching and everything I took to the fitting room was too big. I haven't been in a size 14 pant since jr high, but as of today I am again! I know one…

cut out exercise, weight loss nearly doubled??
I have not been to the gym or done any type of intentional exercise since the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Before that, I was going to the gym about 4x a week, working out for an hour or so each time. My workouts consisted mainly of c25k on the treadmill and the elliptical. I would occasionally use the arc trainer, and I…

longer day=more calories?
I am assuming that MFP calculates your goal calories according to a day where youre awake for 16 hours and asleep for 8 hours. If that assumption is correct, does that mean if I am up and out and about for longer than 16 hours, I get more calories? I get 1570 calories a day. Today I worked one job from 7am (up at 530am) to…

Sick food
Woke up this morning feeling sick to my stomach and terribly hungry... The problem is I am craving my go-to "sick foods" of chicken strips and mac&cheese. That's what I always eat when I don't feel good and it makes me feel better. Trying to resist this temptataion (especially since I will not be going to the gym today),…
