awhile

It's been awhile since I've been on here. I've had so many adventures :) 

I had a great time visiting my friend and her family. She married her fiance on May 7 and it was an awesome outside garden party wedding.

A few days off work was equally as wonderful. But alas, I'm back and ready for the new adventure of a hard core steady workout. 

I've been trying/attempting since March and still can't get into the habit. 

However of a more positive note, I have managed to decrease the soda intake.

Once again, I now have the priority of eliminating fast food and sugary sweets. My main goal is to eliminate it to the point of only dining out once a month at a nice place. So far, since last Tue. I've eaten fast food twice. If I manage to conquer eating out, I will consider managing the sweets more effectively.

Also, I'm guessing you've figured out the next main goal: 

the fast food's arched nemesis----- making my lunch and cooking at home!!!! 

I know I've got my work cut out for me, 

but I know I will benefit tremendously from it.

super bad

This week is my last week of easy going freedom. I found a soda in the apartment that had belonged to me and drank it with my pasta. My work schedule changed so I also fell back into some of my old habits, like going to eat Mexican w/  my roommate late at night. Anyways, with the exception of this weekend, my goal is to continue to stay away from the pop until after my friends wedding. However, after the wedding, I am going to get stricter on my eating out and continue to focus on not drinking soda. I'm bad about buying food on my way to work and it is adding up to buku bucks. My roommate and I are going to tag team this fight by not eating out for a week and then going somewhere nice to eat, like Olive Garden. It's not much, but I feel like it's something to get me started saving money from going down the fast food hole.

The Great To Do

It's almost time to leave to visit one of my bestest friends. She is getting married next weekend and I have so much to do before I leave to visit her. Thankfully, I am off today and will be able to get things ready before I have to work this week. So, needless to say, I will be busy, busy, busy :)

New Results

 My assessment went well. Since I've attempted to stop drinking soda (granted I've cheated a few times), I have lost 2 inches on my waist, hips, and chest. :) There are a few other details, but this is the one I love the most :) Though, as I kind of already knew, my abdomen is the largest, which is not very good for my health now and future health. According to the numbers, my abdomen is 1/4 of an inch smaller than my hips :) I don't mind. I'm learning to love my body shape. I may be getting smaller, but my shape will always remain. 

 

hit and miss

 Gotta love Thomas Cat

 I feel like I've been hit and miss with my blog here recently. I've enjoyed myself though. Spent some time my friend who has been in Australia, her sister, and her mother. We went swimming where they stayed and she took a pic of me looking super slim in my bathing suit. I will post it as soon as I can get it from her :) . Also, I now have a physical assessment planned this week. I will be excited to get a baseline for where I am now. I know it's still up there even after losing what I've lost :) I'll be happy to just get results so I can focus more in the months to come. Soon, I will be changing shifts so I will have a new eating pattern to adjust to. Though, this shift works best with my body and sleeping routine :) I'm getting very tired at the moment, so I guess I'll go. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 This weekend has been rather blah as far as motivation is concerned.
However, I did manage to clean a little and put up a new shower curtain :)

Sweet Drinks

Haven't been too disciplined this week. I had Wendy's Sunday night. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, a salad w/ ranch dressing and a root beer. Though, I am pleased to admit that the root beer wasn't all that great. I really don't care if I get it again as a fountain drink. Also, I had a super heavy Tudor's breakfast this morning. I ate just enough to fill me up and I already had a Simply Apple Juice, not from concentrate. Once again, the juice was sooo sweet in taste. I think my taste buds are actually adapting to not drinking the soda I used to :)
