I haven't had a chance all weekend to really write in my journal or record what I ate. I know, I know excuses, excuses, but I'm totally serious. I had a great weekend hanging out with friends and relaxing. I went to a tailgater on Saturday and there were tons of yummy foods, most of them not being very healthy. Luckily, a friend brought some chicken breast so I ate that, but the worst part was that there were tortillas and tortilla chips! I used some self-control, though, and stayed away from both of them. Fridays and Saturdays are my days off so I didn't have to go work out. Sunday I didn't get up in time to go to the gym so I walked my puppy around for half an hour just to get out and be active. I went hiking yesterday to keep active because the gym was closed. I weighed in over the weekend and saw that I had lost three pounds but I know that when one starts dieting and excercising, the numbers can fluctuate. I'd rather wait for tomorrow which will officially be one week and confirm that number to be true/false. I have to admit that I do still have cravings for sweet stuff and all this water I've been drinking has gotten a bit boring, but I've stayed away from the candy and soda and bought some Crystal Light to liven up my taste buds when I need a change of pace from water. Tonight will be a great night at the gym as I am going to a stength endurance training class and then go home to do my push-ups for the push-up challenge. It's crazy how one week of eating better and being more active will change not only your mind-set, your health but also your mood and state of mind. Everyone at the office seems to have a case of the Mondays (eveen though it's Tuesday) but I am in a great mood. For the first time in a long time, I got up this morning and wasn't tired. Today has been a great day!

AAHHHHHGGGGGRRRRRR!!!! LOL

Today started off GREAT, I ate my oatmeal as usual and then decided on having just one piece of toast to get some more protein into my breakfast. Had my normal snack and wasn't starving before I ate it like I usually am. I had just a lean cuisine for lunch and that was it. Surprisingly, I wasn't as hungry as I usually am after that. Went to spin class with a co-worker and worked my butt off! The big mistake came when I got home. My boyfriend hadn't made dinner yet and it was already getting late so he decided we should go to Baja Fresh. I got a salad and just realized it's 930 calories!! So good but soooo not worth it. It's not that big of a deal because I'm still at a calorie defecit from the day's activities, but still...that could have been more room for me to lose weight.

I realize that I'm just starting to get back into the swing of things so I will make some mistakes, but I'm just overall disappointed in myself for making a poor choice. My real test is going to be this weekend. With the football game, I'm scared of not being able to control myself and my urges (hot dogs, chips and queso, BEER! LOL) Lucky for me, I've made a promise to myself to go work out Saturday morning before the game and the boyfriend and I are taking a hike Sunday morning. We might even paint our room! I'm pretty stoked about that. I hope everyone has a great weekend this weekend!

Today was not as bad as some days, but not entirely good either. Of course at work there is the candy jar sitting in front of me, which calls me into battle on a ten minute basis. EAT US!! I have the biggest sweet tooth so it takes everything in me not to reach in and have a laffy taffy or even a box of nerds.

The first of my two motivators for not eating candy is that I weighed myself just a few days ago and found out I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life :( The second motivator I fashioned using paint on my computer by putting an image of laffy taffy next to a picture of a pig LOL (I have to have a sense of humore about this or else I'll go nuts)

I am a tad bit disappointed in myself for allowing myself to get to this point but I am very determined to get back into the swing of things. I must say that I am embarrassed I weigh what I do and have not told my boyfriend or any of my friends for fear of judgement. I am glad that I found this website though to help me keep track of what it is that I am putting into my body and to see what I need to do to stay on the right track to weight loss.

I almost didn't go work out today because I was so tired from lack of sleep last night but after I considered it, I decided to go and I worked out for about 45 minutes on the tredmill. Tomorrow is spin class, which I actually enjoy.
