OFF the wagon, again.
A couple of days ago I woke up with a throbbingly sore throat.
I also had to work that day, so needless to say, it sucked.
I didn't work out that day, which I wasn't too upset about, because I told myself it's okay if I don't workout on days I work.
I didn't work out the next day, either though. Which was yesterday. Because, yesterday I woke up with an even MORE sore throat.
Today, was the WORST. I woke up with a horridly sore throat, but I had stuff to do. So I took a dayquil, drank some coffee, and felt much better and got through the day. Now I'm thinking I will probably work out. The day quil is wearing off, as it IS 8:32pm.
Starting to cough more and my throat feels less than perfect, but not horrid.
I am almost afraid though, because I didn't work out for 2 days, I kind of feel out of sorts about it.
I just feel lazy, and grosss, and even a bit depressed.
But I'm sure the workout will help with all of that.
So, off I go to get on my workout pants, some water, and a workout.
Given this weeks events, I'm not sure I want to weigh in tomorrow!!!
Then again if I do, if it's bad, maybe it will light a fire under my ass to do better.
Decisions, decisions.

3/25/13 entry #2 for day
Just got in my half hour workout! Feels amazing! I'm at the point now that if I skip a day, I feel almost depressed, and bad about myself. I feel great right now. :) Still only had my carnation breakfast, drank about 8 oz of coffee, and am drinking water currently. :) Will post again tonight! Posting a lot, and checking in helps me to reflect on what I'm doing, and consciously think about it.
Finishing off yesterday, beginning today!
Last night I made dinner at 6pm.
I made whole grain brown rice, pan fried chicken breasts in olive oil, and steamed green beans.
I had 6 oz of rice in a bowl, with 2oz of a chicken breast cut up on top., half a green pepper, and 2 tbsp of olive oil.
VERY yummy, VERY filling.
Since then, I haven't eaten yet and it's 11:11am the next day. I know I need to eat, but I woke up with a super sore throat/ feeling ucky/ tired.
So, I'm thinking I'll have myself a carnation instant breakfast, try squeeze in a nap, and then workout and shower before the kids get home.
I have a work meeting tonight and I want to go into it feeling confident, happy, and on top of my game. So I must exercise. Especially since I skipped yesterday.
:)
Will blog later on about the rest of today!

Today is going well!
Last night I went out for a few drinks with my best friend, Cheryl. I had about 3-5 drinks, and 1 shot.AND , embarasingly, a cigarette. :S Could have lived happier without 1-2 of those drinks. lol... I came home and was almost starting to feel sick, so I chugged a bunch of water, and ate a piece of bread, and some pizza bites. Definitely regretted doing that when I woke up this morning and realized what I had done. However, at the time it was definitely necessary and I think it's a huge part of the reason that I feel so well today. :)
Woke up around 9 and had a carnation instant breakfast.
Then around , I think it was noon, I was super hungry. So I made a spinach salad, filled a bowl right up with spinach. Cut up 2 big strawberries on top of it, and about 1/3 cup of sunflower seeds. Drizzled olive oil over the top, and wa-lah! It was SO GOOD! I felt satisfied after eating that. Then I came in the living room and hung out with the kids, and we ended up taking a nap. I didn't really sleep the whole time, but I did feel super tired and have a bit of a headache, probably from last nights adventuring. So I laid there for a couple hours. Then I got up, and got the kids their ice cream cones the in-laws sent over for them yesterday.
I was starving at this point. Belly rumbling, feeling weak, all the works. So I made myself a 3 egg omelet, with crushed red pepper, 1/3 c of shredded cheddar on it, and half of a green bell pepper. Then I had 2 pieces of whole grain toast with it, 'buttered' with coconut oil. It was very filling and definitely hit the spot! A bit of 'fat', yet not too much... and delicious! Made an egg for Deslin too, so he ate that and a slice of green pepper,and then about 1-2 cups of broccoli with a bit of ranch. Hungry little man! Silvana just wanted some goldfish crackers. I buy the whole grain ones so I figured that'd be alright.
Then I made a pitcher of green tea, and drank 1 huge glass. When I say 1 huge glass, I'm typically referring to those tall plastic cups that have a lid and straw.. easily 20 ounces if not more can be held in those suckers. I'll have to figure out one of these days exactly how much they actually hold so I can be more accurate.
The green tea definitely seems to have woken me up now. I'm going through some paperwork and throwing out all the junk mail, and organizing the rest to where it needs to go. Joe and I definitely need to organize our file cabinet sometime soon. But with Easter and Silvana's birthday so close, I doubt we'll have much time in the near future for that.
So now it is 4:01pm. I will probably start making dinner around 6. Going to make chicken breasts, brown rice, and steamed veggies. It's the kids' favorite meal of all time, and it sounds pretty good to me, too.
Planning on working out tonight after I get them to bed. I get points throughout the day where I'm energized, and feel like working out... or, I'm just feeling like working out because it's so gratifying thinking of burning off these calories, and I love the way my muscles burn and I can feel I've gotten a good workout. It's addicting. But, I end up waiting until they go to bed, because the one time I did do my exercise on the elliptical, they of course start bickering a bit, and it frustrates me. Or they ask me questions, ask me to get them some water, etc, etc. So I just find it to be more relaxing, and peaceful.. more of a 'me' time kind of thing. So I like to wait until they go to bed. Besides, all the working out actually has made me kind of sleepy during the day. but as long as I get in a bit of a snooze, or even get to relax a bit.. and have some green tea, to boot.. I feel pretty darn good!
I'm at the point now that skipping a day of working out makes me feel like garbage. I think of all the calories I could've burned. The pound I could've lost. It feels good to have an addiction like this. . I hope it never goes away!

Tired!
Today I woke up around 8:30, had a carnation breakfast essentials, and cleaned my room with Joe.
Then I ate a spinach/ boiled egg/ sunflower seed/ olive oil salad at noon, then an orange.
I was super hungry by 1:30 -2ish so I ate a sandwich; 2 pieces of rye bread, one ounce of cream cheese, a cup of spinach, and onion.
Still hungry: So I ate 10 pizza rolls. ~250 cals
Had 2 cold cups full of green tea, and 1 of water so far.
Also had 1 cup of goldfish crackers.
I don't plan on eating again until 5ish, which is in 2 hours... hoping to push that back until 6ish. Then I'll have a bit of stroganoff with tons of crushed red pepper and a spinach salad for dinner.
Took a nap from about 2-2:45. Deslin went to his grandma & papa's house for a few hours. She said they'll bring him back later on. So Silv and I napped; she's still napping...and I feel as though I could EASILY nap again. Just wiped out. And I want to work out again later today, so I should probably nap..
End!

Ahhhhh yesssss!
Just got done with a super work out!!!
Today I had some carnation instant breakfast around 10a.m.
Green Tea.
2ish I had 8 pizza rolls ~ 250 cals tops, + a spinach salad with just a tablespoon of ranch.
Then around 5pm I had a bagel with an ounce of cream cheese. 300 cals.
Other than that, all I've had is green tea and water. Feeling SO good about that fact!
PLUS I just got in a kick-ass workout! I did my typical fat-burning 30 minute workout, and it felt super duper good the entire time.
Then when the end of the time came, I had burned 360 calories... so I kept going until it said I burned 400 calories, and then I kept going until my show was done, so I burned 425 calories. Felt soooo yummy. :) LOL
My belly is grumbling now, though.
Just gonna drown it out with some water, and a hot cup of green tea with a drop of honey in it. That should help. :) Sounds relaxing and good.
Let's keep this up tomorrow!!!
