It has been so long.

My last post was right after Aj's bachelorette weekend of eating/drinking nonsense and guess what...I still haven't lost all of that weight.  For the week following that i continued to eat poorly and not work out, but I didn't eat as bad as before.    So, I lost all but 1 pound I had gained.

The following Monday morning I had decided that I was going to start working out again.  I came up with a game plan to do videos Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings and run on the others.  I got up and did my first video Monday and ate well.  Tuesday I had decided to come home after work that day and run because it was really windy that morning.  Well, plans always get messed up....after the car accident that morning I haven't been able to work out at all.

I am just now starting to feel like I can possibly work out again.  There are times that I have quite a bit of pain and it is hard to get up, but it still doesn't compare to my main problem.  The arm splint/wrap.  It already stinks so how can I possibly sweat and it not get horrendous?  I think it is impossible.  I still have 2 weeks in this thing and then 4 weeks in a cast...ugh this really sucks.

My eating has been really crappy and I feel it staying that way until I can work out again.  Starting today I am going to make good choices, but not deprive myself.  I'm hoping it will make a difference and I can start to feel better.

BTW I cannot weigh myself accurately and it is driving me nuts!!!  I think this is the root to all the issues above.  LOL

Small, Subtle changes this week are my goal.

This is going to take at least a week...

I'm still 3 lbs away from where I was last Friday.  This is what happens when I go out all weekend, don't sleep, don't work out, and definitely do not calculate any calories.  I think overall the weekend would have been better if I didn't feel the need to eat at 3am just because everyone else was...most of them were drunk, not me.  The food was delicious, but I am really paying for it now.

Yesterday, I still wasn't feeling back to my old self and ate a couple of sweets when I probably should have just went to bed.   I can really tell just how old I really am after a weekend like that.  I didn't drink much on Saturday night, but on Monday I still felt hangover due to the lack of sleep all weekend.  I wish I could stay in bed for one more day, but nope I have to get my ass up and go to work.  Ugh, I hate working...

and yes I will be going for an evening run tonight...I will be going on a run tonight...I will be going on a run tonight...hopefully me saying this all day will make me go.  I can always just tell Kaylee because she does not forget anything and will make sure I take her tonight.  My little cutie with an attitud-ie.  Love her...

A Birthday and a lot of fat

Well, my dad's birthday was on Monday and we celebrated on Sunday.  We went over to my parent's house and ate spaghetti and cake and ice cream.  I had already told myself that I was going to eat the food, but not overdo it.  Well, that didn't happen.

My mom was very nice and made a chicken/whole wheat lasagna type thing for me and it was delicious.  I also decided that 2 pieces of garlic bread were in order, so I scarfed those down.  I don't usually eat the bread and stuff, but it has been so long and I just wanted one meal of all the bad stuff.  Last, came the cake and ice cream.  Talk about being a long time since I have eaten that....I completely over-indulged.

Needless to say I have been paying for it for the past couple of days.  I ate enough for a 2.5 gain in ONE MEAL!  I still have not lost it all, but am working on it.  I hope it is off by Friday, so my jeans won't be all tight and uncomfortable.  I hope you are having a good week!!! I'm hoping my goes by quickly.

PS I really hate working!

Weigh in

We went shopping in Canton yesterday so I didn't get the chance to blog.  Last week was a little rough, but overall ok.  I was really busy all week and I still don't feel like I am caught up with everything.   I have 150 tests in my bag waiting for me to grade them.  Ugh...I hate grading at home.

 Overall my eating was pretty good.  I did eat out for lunch one day and had chips with salsa.  I am still clean eating for the most part, but I have had a few more cheat meals recently.  Unfortunately, I am not going to be anywhere close to where I wanted to be before next weekend.  This is a really slllooowwwww process and I am impatient!  Guess I am gonna have to suck it up and deal with it.  I am so excited for next weekend and I know I will gain a few pounds during all of the fun...unless I dance them all off.
