Run Run RUNN!!!

Today my mom asked me to go running with her at this nice park by our house, and i was reluctant to say yes. Its freeezzingg today, and im not the biggest running fan. I went last week and did 4.5, and it made me feel really good. I'm not sure why I didnt say yes right away.

I finally gave in and went with her, and actually enjoyed myself! I pushed my body pretty hard and ended up doing 3 loops, 1ishh mile each. I was surprised that I rarely stopped, and if i did, it was only for a few feet. I always worry that im not running far enough to burn the same calories i burn at the gym. I burn anywhere from 500-600 at the gym on the elliptical and treadmill, and i think i only burn about 120 a mile when i run. I think i ran about3, so =360.
Im soooo desperate to get that 1.6 off that i gained in the last 2 weigh ins, and thats not going to be enough to do so.

The reason im worried is that I ended up drinking quite abit last weekend, and had a donut and 3 oreos to polish off my drunk night :-/ Being 21 is BAD NEWS!!!!
Then the next day i did not count. I didnt go crazy, but i didnt count either. Its so frustrating when i do this because I KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS ON THE SCALE! and im soo determinded to get to my goal, but sometimes i go back to my old ways and binge on the weekends! I completely sabotage myself, and undo all the hardwork i put in at the gym all week long.

I wont make it to the gym tomorrow because wednesdays are crazy for me.
I will be spending my day studying for my LAST ANATOMY PRACTICAL EVERR!! :)
I am really glad that stress does not cause me to eat more. Maybe it does, but I dont give into those kinds of cravings. I have definitely stopped eating because of emotions...

Thats all for now!
Ill be back on friday with a weigh in update...EEEK. Wish me luck!!

WEIGH IN

I worked my butt of everyday at the gym this week, and guess what?!

UP 0.2. HOW FRUSTRATING!
The only thing i can think of is that its almost my TOM. Hopefully it will come off next week.

I had another milestone this week: I wore shorts to the gym for the first time.
I have always avoided shorts because of the fear of the dreaded jiggle (GASP). But i walked right in there in my short shorts :)
GO ME :)

Going out tonight to visit some old friends, hopefully I can keep my food and drink consumption under control.

Happy WEEKEND<3

Bad day!

I am having one of those days today.
I want to eat everthing in my kitchen, and I DONT want to work out today. :( I want to stay in my pj's, drink wine, eat ice cream, and watch a movie.

I am having my own pity party today.
I am tired of bad friends, and people who dont understand the concept of loyalty.

However, i shall overcome this shiteous day, and pull myself up off the couch!!! I WILL!

Dont mind my bitchfit. :)

******UPDATE*******


My hardcore birthday celebrating showed on the scale. UP 1.2lbs :(
I dont regret it though, i enjoyed some majorly delish food and drink for my 21st. How many times do you turn 21!?!?!
The answer is ONLY ONCE. :)
It will come off next week.
It will come off next week.
It will come off next week.
It will come off next week.

LATERRRRRRRRR<2

HUGE MILESTONE!

Today i received a late birthday present....
I went shopping because I had some gift cards, and i wanted to buy some things for my upcoming vacation.

Well, first off let me tell you this. When I started my weight loss efforts I said all I wanted was to wear a size 8. I have never work a size 8 in my entire life, with the exception of when i was like 10.
Well guess what....






















I am a VERY happy girl today :)

What was your moment that made you say .."wow!!"...?!?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE FABULOUS ME!!!

YUP, the BIG 21 today!!!

Happy Birthday to ME :)

I havent updated in awhile, things have been nutty around here with school & such. I weighed in yesterday at 1.6 DOWN. I'm not sure whats going on with my body, but it seems like things are finally falling into place with my weight. It feels amazing I must admit. I worked so hard for so long and saw 0.4 or 0.6 a week for MONTHS. My mom thinks my metabolism has sped up since I lost that loser baggage we call the ex-boyfriend. :-\ ppfftt haha oops.

My leader talked about how she went on vacation and she did so good and stayed on plan the whole time...
THAT is not the kind of person I am at all. When it is a special occasion, I am going to enjoy myself, and YES enjoy the foods I want. I am NOT counting pounts on days like that.
For instance, my fam is going out of town this weekend so my mom and I celebrated last night. We went to this really nice restaurant and had Spinach Dip (mmm one of my ABSOLUTE faves!!), Lobster ravioli (we split it & got 2 raviolis each lulz), and bread, OOO AND A GLASS OF WINE obv(im 21 now!!) !
I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed myself very, very much. That was one hell of a lot of points, but i think a few days out of the year its okay for us to have WHATEVER THE HELL WE WANT!! :) We work hard. I know everyone says dont treat yourself with food, but I LOVE FOOD so WHY NOT!? Its not everyday, and I still feel in control because I can get right back on plan the next day.
My point is, I am going to eat whatever I want today, and then tomorrow I will be back on plan. Life isnt over after a splurge weekend. Im going on a cruise in a little over a month, and I plan on enjoying anything I want to, in moderation of course. The food is spectacular and theres no way im going to miss out on that. Also, for the first time, I think I am going to plan to workout on vacation. I dont mind being up a few lbs after vacation, but I dont want to undo all of my hard work.

P.S.- I refuse to workout on my birthday. Absolutely not. No way. :)

Party at my house tonight!!! ha :)


Have a fabulous saturday!
