Some things I neglected to mention:

1. I had a serious calorie/blood sugar issue today. I had another shredder shake for breakfast, and I thought it would hold me over until I got out of class, but I think I burned more calories than expected during my study group or something. In any event, I was in total agony afterward, and I ended up feeling really faint, nauseous, irritable, and rundown by about 3:00pm. I tried to have a light lunch, since my hubby was going to be home from school within 2 hours (at which point I would be making dinner), but I was really dying by the time he got home. i still managed to make a healthy dinner, but I fricking gorged myself (and yet somehow still ended up within my RDI for today). I feel a little guilty about that though, because I didn't workout.. but I'm still somewhere at around 1400 calories, which i guess isn't half bad.

2. I had a doctor's appointment this morning, during which I had some tests done to see if I have a thyroid or blood sugar issue, which may offer some insight on why I have so much trouble dropping weight. I seriously almost NEVER eat the amount of calories it takes for me to live, yet I've held steady at 170lbs for the last two years or so, even when I worked out. I don't really get it.. But I should be getting the results back in a week or two.

3. Today, I bought one of those fancy scales that calculates your body fat percentage and stuff like that. I'm really looking forward to seeing my progress on there as well, since I normally don't regularly weigh myself, and I can't weigh myself naked at the gym, since it's at school (and that's just creepy). So, hopefully all these things combined will provide a rad arsenal that helps me blast all this extra weight off. I want my husband to feel proud to show people that I'm his wife.. he's a really good-looking guy (with a few extra pounds) who deserves to have a beautiful woman on his arm. I've gained 25lbs just since I've met him.. So it's kind of like an OMGWTF situation (for me, anyway). He insists that I'm beautiful no matter what. But I don't really buy it.

Didn't work out today. Didn't get any sleep the night before either. Had to obsessively study for a test today, which kind of got in the way of EVERY OTHER THING I HAD TO DO. The test was easy though. But I feel like a dried up, roasted turd. I'm gonna go to bed early tonight and wake up early tomorrow morning to go to the gym, and hopefully I'll feel a lot less rundown and more enthusiastic about doing my new longer workout plan.

My husband and I have decided to set a goal for ourselves of losing 35 pounds each... then we can both get a new tattoo. I think it's a good goal, but we also have to save money to do that. Theoretically, it'll be easy because we can just save money that we'd have spent on going out to eat for the tattoo goal. It's just hard to get ourselves to stick to it.

Hopefully we'll be able to.

Ugh, today I ate lunch and I feel guilty.

Not for what it was, because really, Taco Bell fresco soft tacos aren't actually that bad for you. But simply because I actually ATE lunch. The thing is, that kind of freaks me out in itself because I really don't want to become one of those people who like obsesses about eating too much or cries themselves to sleep every night because they're STARVING, but a snack or a meal would put them over the RDI for their diet. I know people like that, and they drive me insane. And I worry about them. Really, it's no way to live to always be so conscious of what's going in and out of your body. I mean, I realize that that's one of the cognitive parts of the healthy lifestyle change.. but I'm talking about EXCESSIVE awareness. The kind that hurts people.

Anyway, I worked out this morning, so that's how I'm "justifying" it. But honestly, I feel like it's undermining my progress. The eating part, not the obsessing. Or, maybe those two things are one and the same. I'm not even sure anymore.
