Day 3

Ok so yesterday was bad for me as well. With Twilight and everything I just chose to ignore it completely. However, Eclipse was amazing and one of the best movies I've seen in a long time so it was totally worth it.

Breakfast: Waffles w/jam-3

Gatorade-1

Lunch: WW dinner-5
Yesterday was too awful to even track, considering Kim surprised me with donuts for breakfast! Haha.

Today is going to be better.

Day 1

I'm not leaving on my trip til Thursday. I think I will still try and post. I just won't start Weight Watchers til I'm back from Red River. It's funny that you mention massages because mom and I went to Hot Springs this weekend for a spa get-away (That was her mother's day gift) so I had my first massage and facial and loved it! I will definitely do that more often.

I should have wrote this post before I went to work. I'll try and update more at lunch if I have time. If not I will right when I get home.

Breakfast: Chai latte -1
Waffle w/jam-2

Lunch: Weight watcher dinner-5

Snack: Granola bar- 2

Dinner: Mixed veggies-2
Veggie burger-4
Tortilla-2

Dessert: WW ice cream-3
Frozen yogurt-2

23/23

Beverages: Total to reach 64 ounces
8 oz of chai and milk
64 oz of water
12 oz of Diet Coke

Goal for today: Try and get all 8 glasses of water in.
Work out
Track all food and stay within point range.
So I re-read your post and saw that you may not be back on here until after our trip--sorry I missed that the first time! I hope you have a wonderful trip though! Get some relaxation in--you deserve it!

On my list for the week:
  • Get some more dress clothes
  • Get hair trimmed
  • Get ID badges at all the hospitals
  • Hem some of my new pants that are too long
  • Go get a few books at the bookstore (they are really nice over here, in that, they provide your big text books through the library so you don't have to spend so much money! Just need a couple little books on the side...)
  • Do some more unpacking/organizing (its still a mess around here!)
  • Orientation @ St. John's hospital on Wednesday
  • Orientation @ the school on Friday
  • Get new tires + oil change
  • Plan out some meals and cook some casseroles (or something) for next week's dinner
  • Possibly get a manicure if there is time
  • Get a few things for my survival kit for 3rd year (band-aids for blisters, some snacks to take with me, travel size deodorant, etc)
  • Don't freak out.
Also, I went for a massage the day after my exam, and I totally see what the hype is all about. I think you should start treating yourself to those during busy season, because I've never been more relaxed! It was worth every penny (and it wasn't that expensive at this little place in Edmond--$35 for 50 minutes!).

B: coffee (1), turkey bacon (2), strawberries (1)
S: trail mix (2)
L: ham sandwich with cheese (4)
S: 3 cookies and glass of milk (8)
D: hamburger on wheat bun (4) with mushrooms (0) and cheese (1), roasted zucchini (0), rice (2)
S:strawberries (1)

**Update (10:30 am): I need to make a goal for the day too! My goal will be to get 5 fruits or veggies in.

I think we must be two of the busiest people on Earth. :)
Ok, so I started to comment on your post and then decided to just write my own.

I am feeling super gross too, and it has got to stop. Ew. I keep telling myself that once school starts back up (July 6th) that I will be walking ALL day, so I will get less gross. But I think that I need a little more effort than that....I need to start back with my healthy snacks and fruits/veggies. And for heaven's sake, NO MORE CRAP. Cookies, ice cream, pasta, pasta, pasta. Not to mention I had to buy a bunch of dress clothes this week and that was slightly traumatic. I hate pants. Can't I just wear some baggy sweatpants or pj's to see patients?

Ok, so starting tomorrow, we are BACK! I definitely need some motivation. There is a bag of home-made chocolate chip cookies sitting in the kitchen calling my name as I type this. (Damn you James for baking those!)

Ok, so my plan for tomorrow:
  • eat mindfully
  • get some activity in
  • make some menus and get meal ideas
  • start making plans for when school starts
I look forward to blogging with you tomorrow! I'll try and give you a call tomorrow again. When do you leave on your trip?

Going to go eat a Jello cup instead of a cookie.

Starting Over, Yet Again

Okay so I have felt really unhealthy these past couple of days. I've been exercising but I haven't been watching my food intake and my pants are getting tighter. I hate that feeling. I feel like I'm suffocating. So on my back home today from my trip with mom I thought of my goal....

25 til 25. Drop 25 pounds by my 25th Birthday! If I would drop 25 pounds that's my exact target weight. Which I haven't seen since Freshman year I believe. Yikes! I know I can do it. I don't know why I can't seem to make these changes permanent in my life. I really like my gym and now that summer is here with all of the veggies and fruits out it should be the right time to start. My biggest thing is getting my food intake back under control. I did surprisingly well during Busy season but I seem to have gone down hill since then. I have nothing to blame it on besides my lack of will and motivation. But no need to focus on the negative anymore....onto the future! 25 til 25. I have posted 25 pages of paper on my walls in my workout room. All with numbers on there as motivation. I think I'm going to join Weight Watchers again. I seem to do my best when attending meetings. I have to go to Red River with the family this week though through next week so I may do it on my own til I get back from vacation.

I also do better when I have you to talk to. I know I've been really bad about updating this but I'm hoping with a new goal I will do a much better job. I vow to write everyday.

I'm going to make my menu for tomorrow and hit the hay. I hope you are enjoying time off. You're still on top off, right? I feel like I'm out of touch. Fill me in!
