If I get fat and look like an egg.....

The cold just has me all screwed up. I stayed in bed this morning because it was all icy. Still have been doing my resistance training, though.

And I had pumpkin pie.

Ugh.

I'm loosing so much ground its not even funny. I might end up looking into a stationary bike or a small treadmill. The upside to this? I can rock out in the privacy of my room while riding! Ill keep you posted, maybe I can find a black Friday deal on one :)

I posted this picture on my desk:

It makes me smile every time I look at it. It also makes me want to get tattoos, but that's another story.

Peace, Love and Garbanzo Beans.

Weekend Rundown

So, I totally cheated at the end of last week. I couldn't rid myself of the sugary cravings. After thinking on why they were so strong, I think that the monotony of my lunches might have contributed to it. I switched it up for my lunches this week and am making Spelt Salad with White Beans and Artichokes from the Cooking Light website. I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a new lunch item each week just to keep myself satisfied. I paired the Salad with some Grapes and half of a Ezekiel English Muffin each day.

Yesterday marked the start of week 3 of my new venture. I still feel incredibly tired, and run down, but am hopeful that by the end of this week my energy levels will start increasing. While Thursday is a day of rest, Wednesday and Sunday entail LOTS of driving.

Obviously, my weekend was not as restful as it should have been - I'm typing this and falling asleep. Later, bitches.

High Winds & Headaches

The winds have been blowing like crazy since last night! I also have a headache, which I'm blaming on the winds.

I did so many things today that are contradictory. I woke up of my own volition at 5:15 and laid there waiting for my alarm to go off, then went on a walk. Did my normal mile, came back home, and went to work. Stayed true through breakfast, I got an OJ and a whole wheat bagel with tomatoes. Got to work, ran to the bank on my lunch, which left little time.....and I got a cheese-steak sandwich and fries with a Pepsi for lunch.

FAIL!!!!

I then proceeded to eat said lunch, come back to the office, and take some before pictures of my body for reference later on.

Still have the dang headache.

On a side note, I got some Glutamine Chewies (Sugar Free Candies) and though the Glutamine DID help with the soreness, the Sugar Free candy gave me a hell of a sugar/starch craving. I'm going to look into some plain Glutamine pills this weekend, because If its not the wind that is Causing the headache its the sweetness of the candy.

So, yes I made a bad choice today. It was the most horrible choice I have made in two weeks food wise - So, I'm considering that my splurge meal and I'm back on the boat. I'll let you know on Monday how everything went.

Addendum: Steel Panther & Headaches don't go well together. Bring me some Motrin, Bitches.

Almost done with week two!

Today's Tally?

1 Mile
25 Exercise Ball Crunches
25 Exercise Ball Reverse Crunches (Not to be confused with the reverse cowgirl)
15 V-Passes
21 Reverse Fly's
30 Bicep Curls
25 Cross Jabs (Each Arm)
25 Glute Bridge/Triceps Extensions

I was craving protein something fierce, so I went and got a Salad from the Salad place down the road, and had them add some BBQ Tri-Tip and Beans. It totally hit the spot! I did get an Izze Soda, but it was lower in calories than a lot of the iced teas! Alright, and I really wanted it. I was craving something sweet. 

My whole body is jelly! I guess that means that I'm working everything, though. Somebody suggested that I get some Glutamine for the aches, so I plan on looking into that tonight.

1 day away from the end of week two........

Thursday morning motivation!

Rain, Rain Go Away!!!

It was raining this morning, so there was no walk. Not a happy camper. I feel like I am making an excuse for not walking.

The reality of it is that YES it is raining, and YES my Dr told me to ice and take Motrin for my legs, so considering it inst supposed to rain tomorrow I can just take today as a rest day and resume it all tomorrow.

I plan on doing strength training today instead, and hopefully the rain will let up by tonight.

I'm concerned because there is not much to write about yet! Yesterday I went to work, had an awesome dinner at my sisters, we went to whole foods so I could look at breakfast sandwiches (I got two types - I will rate them later!), then we went to Joann's so we could get some fleece. Scrappy-Doo has been getting chilly in the mornings, so my sister offered to make him a doggie sweater If we found some fleece that I like. So, got some fleece, came home and watched some TV, then went to bed. Wanted to stay up last night researching some things but I was so dang tired that I fell right asleep.

Coffee, I need Coffee.....
