So I have failed at keeping up my blog but NOT on working out and eating well! I was at work this weekend and when I'm at work, I am literally stuck at work all weekend from Friday afternoon till Monday morning so I can not go to the gym. My eating habits aren't always the bed at work either but I'm doing better thN I used to. So this I went to the gym both Monday and today! It's been more difficult because Kayla has not been going with me. I have found that I don't push myself nearly as hard as I do when Kayla is there. At least I'm still going!!
Monday I did my 4 miles on the elliptical and then walked around the track for a little bit. Today I did 2 1/2 miles on the elliptical and alternated walking the track and doing the bike. I have been eating egg whites and toast for breakfast and salad with a little bit of tuna and light Italian dressing in it for lunch. For diner I just eat whatever we're having at work I just have a small portion of it.
Well that's all for now.

I'm BACK!
So I fell off the wagon, but I'm back on!!!!
Today I went to the gym and I went HARD. I don't think I ever would have pushed myself like I did if Kayla wasn't there. It was awesome and I felt/feel amazing! I am so proud of both Kayla and I. We both kind of decided that we are going to stick with cardio for a while then slowly get back into weights.
Today's Workout
I decided I had to start setting actual goals for my workouts because I was never pushing myself hard enough. As soon as I got tired or a muscle started hurting, I quite. That's not going to happen anymore! I don't like going off of calories burnt or time so I decided distance was a good goal because I can always increase it day by day.
So today I did FOUR miles on the elliptical. Yes, four! I didn't think I was going to make it but seeing Kayla keep going helped me a lot! She did get done with hers before me, so I was just going to stop and move on with her to the next thing but when I saw how close I was to that 4 mile mark I had to keep going. I think I would have been SO mad at myself if I had stopped and Kayla said she would have slapped me haha that's what friends are for! After the elliptical I did four miles on the pedaling machine. I then walked on the treadmill and track the rest of the time wile Kayla did the escalator thing. I refuse to do that right now because I always feel like I'm going to lose my balance and fall off of it! Maybe one day I'll try it out again.
Today's Food
Today I had 2 eggs, a piece of toast and a yogurt for breakfast.
I had ONE helping of the mini rice cakes that I am addicted to for a snack this morning.
I had a leftover piece of pizza for lunch. I know, I know, but I haven't made it to the store yet!
I will probably have a yogurt for snack this afternoon.
For dinner at work on the menu is ranch burger macaroni or something like that so I will just have a LITTLE bit of that and some veggies!
Well, that's been my day! I'M BACK!!!

Work Is Rough In This Process.
I've done pretty bad this weekend. One of the reasons is that it was the end of the holiday weekend and all the parents were bring leftover desserts from their dinners. Also, another thing that is really heard about eating well at work is that I'm not in control of the menu or the grocery shopping. Pretty much any food that's in the house is up for grabs for anyone to eat. So therefore I can't really buy my own food and take there either.
That's my dilemma with the weekends that I'm stuck at work. Tomorrow I'll be able to hop back on the workout routine and healthier eating habits.
My weekend sucked. Hope your weekend was awesome!
Have a happy Monday.

Thanksgiving Craziness
It's been super busy for me these past few days.
Wednesday Kayla called me and said she wasn't feeling well. Naturally I slept in a lot longer and went to the gym later that day. All I did was cardio.
Thanksgiving day I skipped the gym and stuffed myself. I gave myself one day off from worrying about anything regarding my eating or excersize.
Today
I was helping with a project at church so I ate a hamburger and chips that were provided. I'm now at work and don't know what all I will be eating. I do know that I will not be able to go to the gym again until Monday. Hopefully I will be able to be active though!
That's all for today. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

The First Day Off
So yesterday I decided to take a day off from the gym. Why not? I had gone 7 days in a row! The horrible part was that I was stressed and ate horribly! I probably should have gone to the gym both to work out my stress and help my eating.
Yesterday's Foods
Yesterday I had a bowel of Rice Crispies for breakfast, and of course I put sugar on them! ugh Then for lunch I had the last piece of leftover Meat Me Pizza from Old Chicago. For dinner I had a bowel of Frosted Flakes and a WHOLE FREAKING BAG of popcorn =( waaaahhhh!!!!
Today I am beating myself up over yesterday. I did so bad! The second I woke up I text Kayla about going to the gym! So off we went!
Today's Workout
Today I did all cardio. I started on the elliptical and then moved to the treadmill. I then went and rode on the bikes for a while then walked on the treadmill the rest of the time.
Today's Foods
I had a bowel of Frosted Flakes. I know its horrible but I needed to eat something before I went to work out. I haven't had anything else to eat yet. I have had 48oz of water so far and it's only noon!
That's my day so far and this week is going to be rough with Thanksgiving is very near!
Wish me luck! Have a great day!

One Week
So today is the one week mark of my new lifestyle. I have to say I am pretty proud of myself so far! I was going to take today off from going to the gym since I had gone six days in a row. Kayla text me this evening and got me to go to the gym anyway! I'm not real sure how I feel about working out at night. The gym was definitely a lot more empty than it usually is so that wasn't the issue at all. I guess it was just the fact that it was so late and I'm used to working out in the mornings. I just didn't feel motivated or that I pushed myself hard enough.
Today's Workout
Today was pretty easy. Like I said, I wasn't really in the zone tonight. I did all cardio today. I started with the elliptical and then moved to the treadmill and finally I rode the bikes to end my night.
Today's Foods
Today I had a leftover slice of Old Chicago pizza for breakfast. I had a small bowel of cottage cheese and mandarin oranges for lunch. For dinner I had a piece of chicken with a little bit of pickle relish with it. I drank my 64oz of water!
That was my Sunday. I hope yours was awesome as well. Have a great Monday and start to the week!
