Halloween, Hill Workout and Wedding Plans!

This year I celebrated Halloween at school!

My friends and I were the 3 Blind Mice. Can you tell we are all a bunch of Elementary Ed Majors!!??

I love being in classes with people who share similar passions to me.

We were the only people walking around campus in costume.. and we LOVED it!

Stabbed Eyeball Cake Pops I made for the party at school!

I got in this AWESOME Hill workout this week. Jeff and I have been really into riding our bikes 3 miles to a park by our house and working out outside while the weather is SO nice!!

 Gecko Push-ups... I love them, but I hate them. I especially Hated doing them up hill. 

If you don't know how to do them, there is a video HERE explaining how!

DEAD at the end of the workout. 

ALSO Jeff and I have officially BOOKED our Venue!! Its at a pretty little place called the Shendoah Mill. I stole these pretty pictures off their website, because my phone really didn't do it justice:

This is where we will hold our ring ceremony and quaint little reception! We are so excited. We always wanted a cute little, simple reception and we think we found the PERFECT place for us! We are in LOVE! Now to figure out where we are holding our open house the next weekend......

Job Interviews, CrossFit & Staying Motivated!

I started out my day by going to a Job Interview!!! I was going for the business profesh look hahah!

What do you think I should do this Summer?

Work 2 jobs and save money for next year, or enjoy myself while it lasts and work 1 job before I start my junior year of College?

(Personally, I'm leaning towards the 2nd option)

 Breakfast: 2 fried eggs served omelette style & an avocado

 Lunch: Chicken & Hummus Salad

Snack: Strawberries 

Dinner: Famous Dave's BBQ Chicken, Ribs & Green Beans AGAIN!

The boyfriend and I have some FREE coupons we need to finish off before they expire in the end of May!!

BBQ Overload this month!

I LOVED This workout!!! I was able to hit 95lbs on my push press and I did not even catch my time at the end of the dog sleds because I pretty much passed out on the floor, but they were HARD

Just me, dead on the floor after pushing the sled!!!

Tomorrow I have a Training ALL DAY (8 am to 5 pm) for my new/summer job so I packed up a days worth of snacks/meals:

I LOVE feeling prepared and motivated!!!!!! Ever since I have started instagram I have been SUPER motivated to eat as clean as possible and get back into the whole weight loss thing!

What do you do to stay motivated?

Deer in the Headlights: CrossFit edition

Today's Workout of the Day.... It was TOUGH

It was 5 stations, 3 rounds for time, rotate every minute, rest a minute after each round..

Also known as Fight Gone Bad Format!

First we started out with a warm-up:

After this I was like omg... That used to be like a WHOLE workout for me!!! HAHA

I was def scared for the actual workout tho!

Your score was based on your total amount of reps (except for the row, that was based off calories burned)

I ended up scoring 184, which was def not very high compared to other scores in the group!

And also, I STILL Cannot do a toes to bar yet!

I think I def have a deer in the headlights look on my face in the classes though, as I made friends today with someone in the class, she could tell I was a Newbie and suggested I go to a weightlifting class during the week sometime-

Because they really help you work on your form and technique!

I will def be checking that out this week!!! :)

*****One of my lovely followers asked what I use to create these workout graphics earlier this week, and I  FORGOT to share it...

I Use a FREE photo editor I found online, click   HERE   to access it and see if it works for you and your blog!! :)

Happy Workouts!

Interesting Day in Food World

Today I felt AWESOME! 

The scale read 146 - a weight I have not weighed in a LONG time!

Also my boyfriends family was getting together to celebrate his birthday - and I had the most AMAZING Dinner!!!

But first-

I'm noticing a bad habit I have with the weekends!

During the week I have a fabulous routine...Then during the weekends I seem to ditch that and eat at weird times, skip meals and "Cheat"

How do I fix this??? 

I guess it's just what comes with having two days to CRAM all the things I can't do during the week!

Speaking of this week:

ITS FALL BREAK

That means I have a WHOLE week off work!

Yeauuh!!

Lets talk food:

 I woke up LATE and made this delicious breakfast:

2 egg omlette

Guacamole

2 pieces of Bacon

Then I skipped lunch?

I wasn't hungry and I didn't even realize it!

At My Boyfriends House:

 I snacked on this fruit platter while I waited for dinner

Look at these amazing steaks!!!

BEST STEAK EVER

Seriously...I wish it was Jeff's Birthday EVERYDAY just so I could eat this steak!!!

My plate looked amazing, I wish I took a picture!

My Plate:

Steak

Veggies

Sweet Potato

It...Was...DELICIOUS

Then of course, I ruined all my good food choices with a piece of cake and ice cream. 

Hey, It was his birthday!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's CF Workout...

I'm scared, it looks ROUGH

Weigh In... I'm a LOSER ;)

I Lost another Pound!!!!

So if I'm on my way to weighing 120 lbs.... I have 26 more pounds to go!

Only 26 more weeks until I'm there!!!!

It SOUNDS like allot...but it really isn't. 

I think I GAINED All this weight in less than that...

So 6.5 months left if I lose 1 pound a week from now on ;)

Start: 157

Current: 146

Goal: 120

and here is a little image I needed to remind myself WHY I am doing this the hard way, and not on a crash diet. 

I have lost that + 1!!!!!

I am not on a crash diet.. Merely eating healthy & exercising. 

The weight is taking care of itself. 

I do not want to jeopardize my MUSCLE..just get rid of fat ;)

Thanks to those who check in on me, you guys are a great support!
