Today is my usual weigh in day, but I'm going to hold off for another week. I'm feeling really bloated today and just heavy, that's enough I don't need a bad weigh in to make me feel worse about my progress. I know I'm getting more exercise in and eating better than I was a few weeks ago, but I feel like I'm going in the wrong direction. Not to mention my pants are tight, that's a bummer.

I'm looking at my food very closely and I know I need to make some changes there. I'm going to try to start planning my lunches out better, no more frozen dinners. And, I need to change the way I snack in the evenings. I just need to find some will power to say no to junk food in the evenings, and I know if I can stick with it for a couple of weeks it will just start to become routine.

My exercise has been good the last couple of weeks, I'm starting week 3 of Insanity. Now, if I can get my eating to match my exercise I'll be doing great. But, I know I need to move more than I am. I try to get out of the office for 30 mins every day just to go walk around a store or something, but otherwise I'm sitting for most of my 8-9 hours. If I had an office I could get up and do some jumping jacks, or squats, or something, but no, I'm right up front, out in the open, and I'd probably scare people. I'll have to think about something to do during my work day.

Well, enough of my pity party. I am going to be positive and I know I can make the changes I need to make, so now it's time to do it!

Have a great Hump Day!!

I am feeling okay today, still plugged up, but not horrible. But, I have a huge sore on the roof of my mouth and that is causing me all sorts of pain. I don't know where it came from, but probably a side effect of the sinus issues. Yuck!

I'm going to get my workout in this evening, it's a short one, but intense. I'm going to try to keep my eating under control too. I really want junk today, comfort foods are calling to me, but I'm going to try to stay strong. The sore in my mouth will help with that too I'm sure.

I'm patiently waiting for my brother's fiance to have their baby. She was due yesterday, but nothing yet. I can't wait to meet my new niece! Here's hoping I'm feeling better before she's born so I can hold her. :)

Happy Tuesday!

My weekend was up and down. Friday I got my recovery workout in, which is a lot of stretching and that felt good. Then Saturday I felt horrible, my joints all ached and my cold was hitting me hard, so no workout. Then Sunday I felt much better, so I got a workout in. Now today, I'm back to feeling yucky, this darn cold. At least today is my rest day, so I'm not going to worry about working out. If I didn't have things I had to get done today at work I'd stay home, but it's probably good to get out of the house anyway and not sit on the couch watching Netflix, feeling sorry for myself. :)

Last night I made chicken for dinner, just sauteed in a little olive oil and seasoned, with brown rice and veggies on the side. My hubby and daughter loved it, my son wasn't so crazy for it but he ate it anyway. I've wanted to make a simple meal like that before and my hubby turned his nose up at it, so when he said he would eat it, I took the opportunity and made it and now my daughter says we should have it in the meal rotation. Finally making some headway in the eating right department! Just a small victory, but I'll take it.

Have a great Monday!!

I know I've got a cold going on now. I woke up with crusty eyes, my sinuses and ears are plugged, and I have a sore throat. Yuck!! At least it's not so bad I have to stay home from work and tomorrow is the weekend so I can sleep in and get a little more rest.

I went over my calories yesterday, but I stayed strong in the evening. I only allowed myself my planned dinner and snack and I was fine. I think those hunger pangs finally went away. I should do okay today, just a slow day at work so easier to want to reach for junk, but I brought my healthy snacks and that should be enough.

I got my workout in last night, but probably less intense than usual because I was feeling slow, but I stuck with it and got it done. Tonight is recovery, so mostly stretching and core work, no cardio to keep up with. I think the stretching will be a good thing.

No big weekend plans, just getting my usual weekend chores done. I do need to get my hair cut, but I absolutely hate doing it. I used to enjoy it, but have just grown to loath it as I've gotten older. Maybe I can take my kids clothes shopping. We'll see how I feel tomorrow I guess.

TGIF!!!!! Happy Friday!

It's one of those days. I'm tired, and just feeling sluggish. Someone brought donuts into the office and I indulged in one, but that will be my only indulgence for the day, now only good foods. I'll do my workout this evening too, and at least that will help combat that donut a little. I'm just feeling weak today and like I need about a day of sleep, maybe it's a cold coming on or something. I'm not going to let one donut ruin my day or my week though, I'm going to keep moving forward. Last night I was really hungry too. My stomach was growling from the time I left work to the time I went to bed and I ate a little more than my RDI. I'm wondering if my body is just adjusting to burning some calories with the workouts, it's finally realizing I'm not just being a slug on the couch any more. :)
