Rest Day - THANK GOODNESS

It feels SO GOOD to be SORE!

I love that I have been able to get back in the swing of things this week.

Thank you so much for all the supportive comments!!!

Today's Food:

Breakfast:

For breakfast I met up with my grandma at her nursing/retirement home, which is really like an AMAZING restaurant & hotel. 

I had a delicious bowl of mixed fruit, a little ham omlette, breakfast potatos & bacon!

Notice how perfect the portion control is there?!!!

Lunch: Chicken & green Beans from Last night!

Dinner:

Cauliflower crust Pizza! 

Completely Gluten Free!!!

I had found this recipe on the internet, gave it to jeff 

(explaining I had been CRAVING some good pizza)

& this is what he made me!

I will be sharing the recipe tomorrow, because it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!

***The original pin said you could still pick it up in your hands..... 

With the amount of cheese & toppings we put on, we def had to eat ours with a fork!

Also, Today I toured my new house, as I am MOVING on Feb 1st!

 My sister standing in my new room!

The Kitchen

It's still in the works, but apparently will be ready for move in on Feb 1st... YIKES!

It is an understatement to say I should have started packing a WEEK ago. 

I have lived my WHOLE LIFE in my current house.....

That means I've accumulated ALLOT of stuff. 

Yay.

Hope everyone had a great day!

My Biceps Hurt

Today's workout was CRAZY!!!!

I am EXHAUSTED right now! I can tell you now my arms will be sore tomorrow!

But let me tell you, I felt GREAT after the workout!

The only problem is, I am having a hard time motivating myself to actually get to the gym!!

I never regret BEING there and I LOVE the workouts....

But when it comes time to put on my shoes and gym clothes, I always seem to start to talk myself out of going!!

Does anyone else struggle with motivation??

What do you do to keep yourself active and motivated to workout??

Food:

(I only ate one of these)

Yes.. I had breakfast TWICE today!

I ate dinner at my house, and my mom made some kind of chicken in a thick sauce...

Unfortunately, I saw the ingredients she used in the sauce, the main one being brown sugar.

(she also did not make enough for everyone)

Since I am trying to avoid excess sugars , I opted to make eggs for dinner!

Hey, I had no problem with it... Breakfast is my FAVORITE meal of the day!

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!

Weekly Weigh-in LOST 1 Pound!!!

Every Sunday I weigh myself and take new progress pictures. 

Last Sunday I maintained weight after my trip to Disneyland and a cheat date with the Boyfriend. 

This week I pushed myself hard in my workouts and ate very well, I am SO HAPPY to have weighed in at 152!

I have lost 5 pounds in 8 weeks! 

(that's healthy weightloss for ya, slow and steady wins the race)

Here is my beggining picture:

I wish I took my measurements, because even though I am losing weight at a slow pace, It looks like I may have lost some inches??

School starts on tomorrow and I am so freaked out! I have had TONS of time this Summer to workout and now everyday I will have to go straight from school to work until 6 p.m.....

So I am going to try and get ahead today!

First I will go out grocery shopping for these things:

Then I am going to cook ALL the chicken, as well as per-portion out all of the dark chocolate, nuts, & carrots...

I'm hoping this will help keep me in check this week!

Wish me luck!

Photo Diet 8/18/12

It's been years since I have gone to Laser tag people, YEARS

I went on a double date tonight and had a FUN time at Laser Tag after dinner...

and it gave me a CRAZY idea....

Next time I go I'm going to wear gym clothes, and use my sports tracker to calculate my calories burned!!!

Anyways, here is what I ate today:

 Whole-wheat sweet pork quesadilla!

Looking back I did NOT get enough veggies today! I will definitely have to make up for that tomorrow!

Also..

 

I bought my copy of the Hunger Games!! YAY!

I have read all three books twice....
