Not So Bad

So I slept in this morning. Not the end of the world because I knew I could go to the gym after work. I had to buy some concert tickets at 8 AM this morning, so I ate breakfast at home. Oatmeal with skim milk, a little brown sugar and some coconut. I was out of frozen raspberries :(

I had 1 cup of cheerios for a snack. I ate lunch at my desk, which I don't like doing, but I had so much crap to do I just stayed there. I had a moment of weekness and ate the bage of kettle chips in my desk drawer. Thank god it was a single portion or I could have seriously eaten a whole damn large bag. I know I should have heated up the red potato I had, but I didn't. I had my spinach salad w/carrots, and grape tomatoes and balsamic dressing. I also had a gala apple. My afternoon snack was also a gala apple.

I went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the arc trainer and 15 minutes on the treadmill. I went to Pei Wei for dinner with my roomate. The last time I was there I ordered Pad Thai and it was WAY too oily. More oily then I had ever had before. It just wasn't good. Tonight I had brown rice, steamed veggies, wonton soup, and 3 bites of my roomates sesame chicken. I was pretty full, but I didn't feel gross.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get up and go to the gym before work!

Please Excuse Me While I Whine

I really do need some cheese to go with my whine.

I just want things to be easy. It's funny how I felt so awesome getting ready for work this morning and now I feel like poo. I put on one of my favorite white skirts with a sleeveless black knit turtleneck and black sandals. I look awesome, but I don't feel awesome.

I just read part of the article about Ricki Lake's wightloss this morning at the gym. It has taken her almost 20 years to get down to the weight she is currently at. I have only been at this 3.5 years and I am itching to be at a weight I am comfortable with. My body has been hovering around 200 for the past year or so. I have been as much as 10 pounds down and a few pounds over. I am not denying myself anything and I am working out, but not religously. I know what I need to do. I just need to do it.

I am not sure it is helpful, although it is comoforting, that I have found a guy who likes me for me. Oh, and he is taking me to Denver to see the Police in June =)

It is a morning like this morning that reminds me how easy it is to eat about 10 mini, muffins, biscuits, and scones in one sitting. However, today I did not do that I had a huge plate of fruit and 2 mini scones. Like really mini, they probably were less then half the size of a starbucks scone combined. There was an event at work this morning (a really popular writer who writes business books about strenghts and weakness and all that jazz) and I was able to attend. However, I was sort of work before hand and that was the stressful part and the part where I could have potentially binged.

I got to work before 7:30 which is early for me. So I could only go to the gym for an hour. I did 45 minutes on the arc trainer and 20 minutes on the treadmill.

I am supposed to have kickball tonight if it doesn't rain! Then tomorrow it is off to West Virginia for an early Mother's Day Celebration with my mom.

Am I getting old?

No gym for me this morning! I stayed up a little too late last night and didn't get into bed until about 1 AM. Getting up at 4:30 was just not in the cards.

Last night a friend made me dinner. We had black bean, onion, and chicken quesadillas with my favorite spicy blue corn tortilla chips, and Coronas. Speaking of alcohol. I have noticed that my tolerance is pretty much next to nothing. I feel like between 2-3 beers I am now on my way to being tipsy. This isn't normal. I used to be able to throw down and now it's not so anymore. Maybe my tolernance is changing because of the foods I have been eating or because I am getting older? I am not really sure. Either way I just need to watch how much I drink.

Not sure what my plans are for dinner, but I am going to the movies to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Dirty Dancing by watching it on the big screen!
