Today has been INCREDIBLE! I dug out my FitBit yesterday to keep a better track of my total BURN for the day and then I can subtract my food intake to calculate my deficit. I LOVE my FitBit and haven’t used it in a long time. I tracked my sleep last night!!! We didn’t go to bed until 2AM, lol and I woke up a few times but went back to sleep and got a little over 8 hours of sleep! Got up to try to hurryhurry to get some CALORIES in and get Katie up, fed, etcetc. OMG – I made my protein shake this morning with the new chocolate peanut butter protein powder + my strawberry kefir and it seriously tasted like a mocha frappacino…mmm. NEW FAVORITE. Started to clean house and Katie watched cartoons, while Brad slept way, way late, hah. I was seriously multi-tasking this morning, between cleaning and trying to get food ready for on the go. Eventually ate my eggs/coconut oil/green beans, then finished cleaning! Called Mom to see if she could watch Katie and she said she still had a headache and didn’t sleep a wink last night.. =/ so it was a no go. OH and I also went over to my neighbor’s after I started cleaning to help her with a few things and she said she would watch Katie! SHE IS SUCH A LIFE SAVER! We would not have been able to go to the gym today if it wasn’t for her! Soooooo, got everything situated and my neighbor was out running errands so we had to wait for her to get back. We were all ready to go to the gym! It was a gorgeous day too. Took Katie and her stuff over then we were OFF!!!!!! I felt like a kid on Christmas, lol. Our gym closes at 7pm on Saturdays and we got there at 4, so we knew we’d have to hustlehustle to get everything accomplished. Here’s the RUN DOWN >>>

According to my FitBit (that is pretty accurate!), I burned over 2,800 calories in total – which is my daily activity + the exercise combined. I had a pretty big deficit today, but I made sure to eat enough. I’m sooooo excited about the treadmill. I ran for 34:30 minutes then wanted to add more time, but it wouldn’t let me so I had to stop and re-start and went for another 14 minutes, but I jogged the entire time and got up to 6.0 and my heart rate wasn’t as high so I know I’m getting better and better. I got done just a little bit before the gym was getting ready to close, so I got my favooooooorite smoothie that has a fat burner and I added an energy boost. We told Ryan byeeeee and that we’d see him Monday!!! Heh. Left and decided to head over to Micheal’s craft store, since Brad loves that store. I got Katie a new froggie cup + bowls, toy bracelets, a new black pen for me, and a LOVE bracelet. Went a few doors down to PetSmart and we might get a rat soon! Brad loves them and I now want one too. We’ll see. I ate one of my on-the-go snack bowls and I ALMOST DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN IT WAS SO GOOD. I bought some in the pouch salmon – so it was that, gucamole, sweet red pepper hummus, and sweet peas. I can tell already that I’m gonna be eating that a lot! :D Next stop was…. can ya guess? Wal-Mart! Got some cleaning stuff, each got a new pair of workout shorts, a few food items, snack items – including a PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY whey isolate protein bar! (YUM, it’s the same kind of bars at our gym… I love them!) and I cheated and got a Monster energy drink. Mwahhahaa. We checked our blood pressure at Wal-Mart and I AM SO HAPPY FOR MY HUBBY! His blood pressure is the best it has ever been at 122/67! EXERCISE ROCKS!!! Mine has been awesome for a long time – actually, a bit low usually. Majority of the time it’s 90/60, but today it was a bit higher, YAY! It was 102/60! Zooooooooomed back, brought Katie home + bath + bed for her, then we had some SEXY alone time. I bought some new shampoo and conditioner, since the last stuff I bought from the salon was just not cutting it for my hair. Went ahead and bought Dove again, since it has been good to my hair in the past. Took a shower and washed my hair and here I am! Chewing on an Extra Dessert (apple pie) piece of gum, listening to music on Pandora, and feeling GOOD!

What a smashingly excellent day. I’m so grateful. I OWE EVERYTHING I AM AND EVER SHALL BE TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER. It feels amazing to be getting to top fitness shape again, I just can’t wait to drop this weight and get some muscle! Tomorrow is RELAX day! Goodnight :]
