No!

OMG TL - I hope you punched the a-hole.

pregnant?

why no, but thanks for asking.

after I burst into tears from the humiliation of the question I thought, well - how motivating!

~sigh~

pushing through

This week is especially unscheduled at work - lots of standing around waiting for problems to fix. Leaves me reaching for unhealthy snacks as a part of boredom/frustration... So today I brought in a six pack of seltzer water and a basket of fruit to combat all the Halloween candy floating around.

Last night I plodded out 6 miles on the treadmill. Kill me now. I've stopped running by myself at night outside. I has been living in a nothing-will-happen-to-me bubble but suddenly am acutely aware that I live in Philadelphia and bad shit happens.  I haven't been to running club in 2 months - all work related and extremely frustrating.

food plan in hand and tango lessons tonight. I WILL stay away from the chocolate today! 

I hate the treadmill.

I ate well today for breakfast and lunch, and promised myself I would work out after work. Got dressed and went to the workout room. I just could NOT get into it. I don't know what it is about the treadmill but I hate it!!!!! I did 13 minutes, only a few of those minutes running. Sigh. I am going to ask around tomorrow to find a well-lit place near the hotel to run.

Got salads last night at Walmart to stash in the room for lunch and/or dinner this week. Having the salad now. It's yummy and healthy but I'm still bummed about my work out... or lack there of :(

Keep up the good work everyone!
I am currently eating carrots instead of candy.

Weigh In

173.2. It's in the right direction. So I'll take that. I've been battling a cold, but spent Saturday night in Boston visiting friends, which meant bad food and too much booze. :)

Sarah's weigh-in

136 - so the portion size is hopefully helping, now I just need to get my butt to the gym again. I did have 2ish glasses of wine last night, but it was Halloween. I'm definitely cutting back on my glass of wine at dinner though. Only for special nights.
So when I get everyone's weight for today, I will post the Week 1 results!

TL's 11/1 weigh in 178.5

Guess running on the treadmill for 55 minutes last night helped.

I stuck with my eating plan yesterday until the 4 pm snack attack. chocolate kisses and parmesan pita chips. ugh.  Recovered at the gym and had a pear and cheese for an after work out snack  instead of a full dinner.
I am prepared with my meal plan again today. I have a 4 pm  meeting so hopefully will avoid the late afternoon train wreck!
