Saturday!

CONGRATS on your first 5k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an accomplishment!  So proud of you dude!
Can't wait to hear all about it!


I'm feeling rather guilty about last night.  I feel like I do really well during the week and then blow it on the weekends with my eating.  Nothing to do but get back on track for the rest of the weekend I suppose (even though it's my dad's birthday this weekend and there will be cake tomorrow).

Speaking of birthdays, your present should be arriving around Tuesday of next week!  I just had it shipped to your house, hope that's ok.  Can't wait for you to get it, I think you're really gonna like it!  It's nothing fancy since I'm on such a budget right now, but it's pretty cool.

I didn't get the second workout in yesterday either, so I will do it today since today is usually a rest day.  I think  it works out better for me to just take a rest day whenever I need it rather than having it scheduled only to Saturday.

Breakfast: coffee with half and half
Lunch: ham and cheese quesadilla
Snack: apple with PB
Dinner: steak, fresh green beans
Dessert: acorn squash with butter, cinnamon and splenda (tastes like pie!)
Snack:  icelandic yogurt with blackberries
Activity: Insanity Pure cardio + Cardio abs (-750)
Water:  (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) x x
Calories: 1367 (96%); deficit of 813 cals

Friday

Breakfast: Apple cinammon bar

Lunch: Went to Cafe 501. Had tomato soup and half of a salad w/pumpkin seeds, walnuts and lemon dressing

Dinner: ????

Activity: none- going to a double feature w/Megan, Betsy and Shanetha

So I didn't end up working out last night or Wednesday. I feel like every time I set a goal that's when I end up not working out. It's like I put too much pressure on myself which sounds weird I know but I think it's true. Wednesday we didn't get done with our Skookum meeting til 9:45 and my gym closes at 10 so that was a no-go. Then last night I went out with Sarah and we were done at 8 but Shanetha texted and I asked if I wanted to come over and watch Grey's with her so I did. I would rather see them any day than work out which I know is human nature but I just have a hard time saying no to friends for exercise. I don't think I want to change that about myself either. I just have to be focused on days that I am by myself. And maybe I should plan and if I know I'm going out with someone that night I will do my best to workout that morning. I need to figure out a plan for this.

The good news of the day is I went and registered for the 5k tomorrow and got my t-shirt and number. I will be running starting at 8 so I'm really looking forward to it.

We are having a Skookum business meeting tonight so dinner will be out. Hopefully we will finish in time so I can hit the gym. If not I'll just run outside when I get home. I'd much rather go to the gym though so hopefully that can happen.

Wednesday for the Win

So I'm having another lazy day today.  My preceptor is golfing today.  I'm trying really hard to enjoy the free time and not get bored to tears, haha, but it is honestly hard for me.  So, I am focusing on being fit and healthy!  I keep telling James I need a hobby, but I just realized this morning that working out and being fit could be my hobby.  Exploring new foods and trying new things could be my free time.  That was kind of an Ah-Ha moment I think.

Also so you know, you can go to "My Diet" on the right sided menu of Fat Secret to change your RDI to your calculated calories.
