Valentines

I didn't post yesterday and I couldn't think of anything I wanted to post today except for Happy Valentines Day! I am excited to go out for a romantic dinner tomorrow night with the bf. Hoping I don't eat too much food and chocolate, and just try to enjoy myself.

Up 1.8

I had a gain this week and I deserved it. I was sick and did not cook or exercise much last week. I hope to reverse most of this next week, but I have been having pain in my foot and really tight calf muscles. I hope to start feeling better soon with that also. So many things come into play with a healthy lifestyle and it is a lot of work sometimes, but I try to make it my habit or the way things are usually. I think that helps because I am so a creature of habit and routine.

Weather, foot, gain...uggh!

We are having some sort of a warm-up this week here. It is currently 48 degrees, but it feels like 43 according to the Weather Channel. Michigan weather is so weird every year. Anyway, it is supposed to get colder during the end of this week..I just wish it would stay when it warms up. It is like a cruel trick. You get used to the slightly warmer weather and it gets cold again and it feels super cold..because your not used to it anymore.

Anyway, my foot issue (ganglion cyst) is acting up again so I have to go in for another cortisone shot. This is one of the most painful things I have to do regularly. It makes me cry and scream and squirm. In the long run though, it makes my foot feel good. I just have to take that first few days off from exercising because I can't feel my foot. I am hoping for an okay weigh-in Wednesday morning (I just hope it isn't really bad). I worked really hard the week before last and if I went back up to 185 I may cry. But if I did, I will get it down again...right? Right.

Oh crap

Wow, I have been sick. I got a super bad cold and the bf got a cold plus a sinus infection and he had to go to the hospital. All that feeling bad led to a lack of cooking and exercise for this week, which I am disappointed about since I was doing so well. We had to order out because both of us were to sick to cook. So it was pizza, Chinese and fast food for most of the week. We then made a super filling dinner last night and I had no idea what the calories were but I was super full from it. Uggh, it is not easy to eat well unless you have the time and health to cook for yourself. Anyway, I am hoping to reverse some of this this week and from now on. I am sure I will have a gain this week and I am bummed. Bummed about a lot of things right now. I just gotta keep going and doing the things I need to do.

Down 1.4 and a little grumpy today

I haven't been in a great mood today but I am down 1.4 pounds this week. I am happy about that and the 45 minute workouts are giving me results. I am a little sore, but I am hoping that will go away soon. That seems like the only downside..well, besides the extra time. If this helps me get past my 180 plateau, it is worth it to me. I am super hungry already and it isn't even noon yet. The sun is shining which is good, so I am hoping I can cheer up a bit this afternoon. I went to bed last night before 9 p.m. because I didn't feel good and was really sore. This somehow made me feel grumpy.

Sore throat

The bf is super sick and I think I am coming down with something now. I felt fine this weekend, but now I am getting a sore throat. I have been doing really great this week and did 45-60 minute workouts all week. My right calf muscle is super sore, which kind of sucks. I am taking today off from exercising and it is a good thing since I am feeling a bit ill and the soreness. The only thing I hate from exercising more is the soreness. I know the soreness is good though because it means I am getting stronger. I have also done really well with the cutting down on candy although I felt a bit too full from the pb smoothie I had last night. I think there was too much oil in it because I used a new natural pb and it always has that top of oil. I maybe didn't stir it as good as I should of. Anyway I am off to be productive, I hope.

Just a quick post

It is Monday and the bf has been sick all weekend. I also have way too much work to do. I feel stressed and sore from working out a lot this week. I wish I could relax a bit more. I am trying. I really hope I don't get sick from the bf. We pretty much stayed away from each other all weekend. I have been doing quite well this week and weekend and hope to get in another 45 minute workout tonight...even though my back is quite sore from all the inclines.
