Argh. Was still a bit off track food wise today, but got straight in the late afternoon. I HAVE to stay on track food wise or else my gym work isn’t gonna be what it should be!!! Going back to the food list that was working for me.

Eating too many carbs and a bit too much sugar left me feeling heavy and super tired this morning. Brad woke up late and had to rush, rush to get out of the door for work, but I decided to just go back to sleep, since I could barely keep my eyes open and my eyes felt tight. Slept late, got up, ran around to get things done. I washed a load of laundry, worked a little more on my college paper, and Katie went down for nap later on. Watched my OTH rerun!!! YAY. Mom called me and said she was pretty sick and she’s gonna try to get into the Doc’s ASAP. She really needs to! She also called just to let me know of course that she wouldn’t be able to keep Katie today. I went to visit with my neighbor for a bit, then folded laundry, fed Katie, steamed veggies, cooked our dinner for later, and waited on my hunny bunny to get HOME SO WE COULD ROCK AT THE GYM! He is excited about going to the gym and I REALLY cannot express the happiness I feel from him saying that!!!!! It is truly a dream come true for me. I put on my heart rate monitor and chest strap and couldn’t get it to sync. Kept trying and trying. Brad came home and took Katie to friend’s house, then got our stuff and headed out! Heart rate monitor and strap still wasn’t syncing… grr! We went out to Whole Foods before the gym to pick up BANANAS for both of us, coconut kefir, and plain greek yogurt for me! Brad was so eager to get to the gym, lol. Makes me happy! Here was our Monday evening summary:
warm-up, elliptical, 10 minutes, 1.25 miles, 104 calories
shoulder press – 3X, 20lbs, 10 reps
tricep extension – 3X, 40lbs, 10 reps
iso-lateral incline press – 2X, 25lbs, was trying for 10 reps
chest press – 3X, 40lbs, 10 reps
bicep curl – 3X, 35lbs, 10 reps
ground base squat/lunge – 3X, 25lbs, 10 reps
virtual bike – 26 minutes, 5.37 miles, 228 calories
treadmill – 20 minutes, 1.55 miles, 180 calories

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED BECAUSE I JOGGED THE 20 MINUTES NON-STOP ON THE TREADMILL. I haven’t done that in forever and it was awesome. I did 1.55 miles in 20 minutes – I remember when I could do 3 miles in 30 minutes I think. I’ll get back. Staying on track with my FOOD will help that TOO. We got done and I was trying to decide if I wanted to get a protein shake at the gym, or if I could wait till we got home. Decided to wait and so, came back, brought Katie home and put her to bed, ate, washed off, and now getting ready for Zzzzzzzzzzz’s!

Thankful, grateful, and blessed. I know I can stay on track because I AM GOING TO. I believe that if I keep it up at the gym AND keep on track with my food that my health WILL get better and I WILL lose this weight. Woot woot… hope everyone has an awesome night! PEACE and love!!!!
