So it’s been a long time..

Back in the running game again. Did intervals this morning:

1-5 warm up jog (5.1)
5-6 sprint (7.1)
6-7 walk (4.0)
7-9 jog (5.1)
9-10 sprint (7.1)
10-11 walk (4.0)
11-13 jog (5.1)
13-14 sprint (7.1)
14-15 walk (4.0)
15-17 jog (5.1)
17-18 sprint (7.7)
18-23 cool out walk (3.6)

————————-

I’m going to add another interval tomorrow. I’m running a 5K on January 1st so I better be able to run 3 miles.. something I’ve never done before.

I’ve also realized I’m not going to lost 20lbs in a month so my goal by the end of the year is to weigh under 145lbs. After that, I’ll see when it’s realistic to set a goal of being 135lbs and then UGW of 125lbs! Hopefully I reach everything by March so the extended family will be formally impressed during Easter.

It’s so hard to eat right, but I *am* doing better. Got a little side tracked once I got home from Italy but things are going well. Just have to stop binging when I’m eating something I like… such as yesterday eating all 9 Bagel Bites… ugh. Or eating all of the Indian food. I need to start giving myself 1 serving and then leaving the kitchen to eat, instead of bringing ALL of the food with me to the table. 

Oh well, live and learn, right??

So I’m back in the game and ready to impress. Let’s not get sidetracked again, yeah?

Oooo la la!

Bought a dress in a size 4 online with all intentions of using it as motivation… except… ummm.. IT FITS ALREADY!!!! How exciting!! I mean I tried it on in the morning before eating anything so it will probably be tighter later, but wow. I still can’t believe it. A size 4 again. THAT is a nice feeling.

Anyway, I’ve been sick and not updating but I’m getting better and have a new routine… which I am procrastinating doing right now.

Here it is…

B- watermelon, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and a lil cool whip lite
L- entire peanutbutter and banana sandwich
S- 3 carrots, 2 celery stalks, garlic hummus
D- (MWF) tuna salad + green beans (T/TH) scrambled eggs + cottage cheese w/ pears

The workout is this strength thing from Women’s Health October and then every morning 50 crunches and 10 pushups (REAL ONES).

So I’ll try to get back into posting more…

A good weekend, FINALLY

Saturday – horse show day which meant 2 mini donut holes, mcdonald’s cheeseburger and a handful of fries, 2 PBR’s and 3 pieces of thin crust pizza. I ate when I was hungry and I stopped when I was full.

Sunday – 4 pieces of pizza, bites of italian sausage/pulled pork/fried ice cream/churros/chocolate chip cookies, wine tasting, cucumber slices w/ ginger and finishing out the day with strawberries, grapes, and cool whip!

 

 

I might do some blogilates tomorrow if I feel okay. My cough is stupid.

New approach

So. Today.

I discovered Blogilates at work and instantly fell in love with Cassey. She’s peppy and weird and makes working out seem like it’s fun. Since I am still under the weather (or more just really for Monday because that always symbolizes new beginnings to me) I will start her “Sweaty September” calendar. I really think this is something that will work for me because she has lots of videos and I won’t get bored. There are also meal plan suggestions that would be nice to look at as well.

Today was also Fashion’s Night Out. Compared to last year, it was really really tame. My friend S and I went to Neiman Marcus around 6 and tried foods from RPM and the Paris Club. Then we had our photos taken in the photobooth. Next was the floor above with cupcakes and cookies and KIND bars. I had one cookie and one beautiful dark chocolate cupcake that even had a gold flake on it. YUMMZ. Then we our other friends T, S, and K were going to meet us somewhere else that had free booze — ZARA! We checked AllSaints first but they weren’t celebrating at all, lame. Zara gave us 2 glasses of champagne and we walked around yearning for so many things. Then we went to TopShop and met up with F who T hasn’t seen in FOREVERRRRR so it was a nice reunion for them. We discovered TopMan has so many cute things and to not just right it off since it is menswear. T and K both bought a bunch of really cool accessories. No booze and almost completely empty though. Very different from last year, when TopShop just opened there were SO SO SO many people. I got complimented on my outfit by some rando so that was nice. Then we went to H&M and absolutely nothing was happening there except everyone saying goodbye. We went to a bar after, the same bar as last year and it was not as fun. Next year, we will def go to Wicker Park after. Hopefully T will be living in the city then. Ooo it was so good seeing her. It has been so so so so long.

Well that was my day. Obvi exercise is on hold. I tried to eat well but that failed when there were so many free samples and then the bar after. Oh well. I will get there. Blogilates sounds so fun, I can’t wait to feel better and try it out.

Doing good in the hood!

I didn’t end up eating tomato soup and grilled cheese… instead I had another string cheese (50) and a brat (260) and some chocolate chips (<70).

I woke up with a flat stomach and a number I can handle for this week.

Today, is Fashion’s Night Out. I don’t know what to do, there will be lots of alcohol (which I can’t have since my allergies are bad) and lots of appetizers. Maybe I’ll just walk around a lot. What what what am I going to do?

9/5 Intake

7:30am – two eggs scrambled with a little milk and some ketchup – ~250cal

10:30am – lite string cheese – 50cal

11am – tall pumpkin spice latte with soy milk, no whip – 240cal

1pm – 1c. plain 2% fage with 1c. frozen berry medley – 240cal

3:43pm – fiber one brownie + diet coke – 90cal

TOTAL = 870cal

 

This isn’t a typical day, but anyway, that leaves roughly 330cal for dinner. I was thinking tomato soup + grilled cheese. The soup is 187cal for a little more than a cup and a half. I don’t have bread yet, but I could reasonably stay around 1200cal today.

THIS IS EXCITING.

I can’t do it.

I refuse to step on the scale today because I will not be happy with it.

After going on a horrible bender Sunday night, I ate takeout and pizza Monday and Tuesday.

Today is finally back to normal.

I think I’m going to start posting my intake because I need to see how much I eat.

Sick

My nose is full and my throat hurts. I keep sneezing sneezing sneezing.

I’m sick.

Hangover from Hell

I feel like absolute shit.

Wanted to go on a really long run… obvi it didn’t happen. I could barely get out of bed.

I finished reading Running With Scissors and I also read Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It was good.
