Lets Talk about BACON

Anyone hear about this nation-wide bacon shortage??!!

Did anyone else have a panic attack?

(This is me, obviously)

No Bacon....WHAT

Good thing I have a very large package from costco in the fridge. 

Should last me a couple more days ;)

YUM 

I was loving food today...

You know how they say eat to live, don't live to eat??

I think I LIVED to eat today!

 Strawberries, coconut milk & yogurt

That was my day of food..

Each snack/meal did NOT feel like enough & I craved sweets all day...

A BAD Case of the Mondays...

 

If you know what this picture is referring to, I LOVE you. 

But really, I came home from class after a FULL night of sleep, only to FALL BACK ASLEEP

I had a TERRIBLE headache from quitting coffee - all day

I had no motivation to work out (until after work when I had jeff Motovate me)..

I wore Comfy WORKOUT CLOTHES to work...

 I did not do my homework...

& I found out a sexual predator that preys on college girls is most likely going to attack again, at my campus. FUN right?

If that's not the Monday's, I don't know what is!!!!

At least I tried to eat well.

Photo Diet:

Dinner:

I was so hungry, I ate it and THEN realized I forgot to take a pic. 

Whoops. 

-Brocolli, Pork, & Baked potato

Did anyone else suffer from the Monday's today?!

Workout of the Day & Quitting Coffee

Today was my FIRST day morning without coffee in over 6 years. 

This morning was so WEIRD for me. 

It has grown to be part of my process of "waking up" to make the walk to the kitchen and pour a warm cup of coffee...

So Today when I woke up, I walked to the kitchen...

And realized I had nothing to do there!

HA!

I didn't cave though. I came home from my classes today with a MEAN headache

-Caffeine withdrawals? 

So I took some meds and made some strawberry-kiwi green tea

Hopefully this curbs my caffeine defecit! 

Onto my wod:

Today is Monday which means I'm doing ANNIE!

50-40-30-20-10

Double Unders

Sit Ups

Not very excited about the double unders - I SUCK at those!

Happy Workouts!

My Workout Schedule for this Week!!! Let's DO This!

After my disappointment on the scale today, my boyfriend wrote me this AWESOME workout plan to get me pumped and burn some major cals/build muscles!

For those of you who don't know, my boyfriend is an assistant trainer at East Valley Crossfit! 

He LOVES the CrossFit Community & Workouts, and I am preparing myself to JOIN CrossFit in October!

This Week is LADIES WEEK!

These are all workouts named after women who have served our country in the armed forces, as a firefighter or cop. 

I'm excited to get back on track!

Now for some motivation & to remember why I'm doing this:

I'm READY for this week!!!

*Oh also I'm quitting drinking coffee, it will cut out allot of sugar from the honey & vanilla coconut milk creamer I was using. 

LETS DO THIS!!!!!!!

A Not So Happy Sunday Weigh In.

This blog is like a diary for me...

When I created it, I committed to recording the Ups and Downs of my Weightloss/Get Fit Journey. 

Along the way, while writing happy success posts, I forgot that sometimes I will have truths to write that wont be so happy at all. 

So today when I weighed myself, I thought - I am DEFINITELY not logging this on my blog. 

But then I realized that that would defeat the whole purpose behind my blog. 

This is a real life weight loss story. 

There are ups and there are downs. 

I'm not perfect. 

I need to be true to myself and write everything

So today, I weighed in at 

150 lbs

I won't make excuses. 

I know that the hot dog and brownie I ate last night didn't make me gain weight over night. 

All I can do is re-examine what I did last week and push harder this week. 

Now that I have had that depressing moment over with, I want to recap the Good things I have done so far on this journey. 

My Accomplishments:

I've lost 7 lbs!

I can run 3 Miles without stopping!

My jeans are getting Baggy!

I can Crossfit with my Boyfriend without Complaining!

& I am building Confidence.

I will check in again later today to write goals for the week. 

Also, I have been contemplating joining an actual crossfit gym. 

Thoughts on that?!

My First Football Game!

Can you believe I've never been to a College football game before?!

It was SO FUN!

I got this awesome Sparky shirt so I would blend in with the crowd! Fear the Fork!

*Sorry for the bad quality pic*

I ate a HOT DOG & a BROWNIE..

So obviously I had to take a awkward pic with my hot dog!

The value of the seats we had that included FREE food was almost as much as I make in TWO WEEKS at my current job....

Aka I was NOT leaving without enjoying the experience! Because I am probably never going to a game in THOSE seats ever again!

*Let me just say- afterwards I realize I was very unsatisfied with my Hot Dog and am happy with my usual diet choices. 

Eating well makes your tummy happy!

Boyfrand and I in front of the giant sparky!

*another bad quality pic - don't you love phone cameras?

Afterwards we were POOPED and snuggled with our baby. 

Yes, our dog is our baby.

What did YOU do this Saturday evening?
