shopping for jeans

yikes. I did not want to buy a pair of size 14's but the 12's were just a bit too snug. *sigh*
ok. I am using this as motivation to get to the gym more. The weekend retreat was healthy eating and no late night snacking but I still ahve a hard time getting up to go for a morning run.

I have the week off (mostly) from work and am pampering myself with a little (not christmas) shopping and decided to through a run in this afternoon. Turned into 45 minutes of joy. I love to run outside, why do I deprive myself of this? Why does it seem like such a chore until I'm in it?

I have to remember how much I love it. Perhaps tomorrow I'll treat myself to new sneakers. At least my feet haven't gotten any bigger! Hee hee hee.

plus I signed up for the Tough Mudder in April. Yikes! better find a boot camp to whip my butt in shape!

178 not surprising

working on it

137 - at least it's down from last week. I never made it to the gym last week, but I did go this morning. Wow my pushups were quite pathetic. It's going to take a while to get back into shape. Remind me not to take 3 months off again!
I got rid of all the candy at my desk and brought a salad and an apple and a couple hardboiled eggs. And I will be drinking lots of tea.
I hope everyone is doing well!

Bahahahaha

Weekends

So I've been MIA for a couple weeks and it certainly wasn't because I've been busy working out! I feel completely gross today after a weekend of drinking plus pizza yesterday. My pants feel tight! My plan is to go to the gym at work today so I can at least get 30 minutes of cardio in. This is my last week of school so I'm hoping next week I can get back to the gym more regularly...we'll see though. I'm not having much faith in myself sticking to a workout routine lately. Hopefully everyone else is doing better than me!

Grocery shopping

So I stopped at the grocery store this morning and bought more tea and apples and a salad for lunch. I'm definitely planning on going to the gym tonight. I'm hoping Brian and I can get back into a good dinner and leftovers routine. And I can start getting up early and working out again. I still need to keep studying though, my test I was supposed to take got canceled because the testing center had no power. Hopefully I can get it rescheduled for later this month.
Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well - I noticed we're not posting as much as we did for the first round back in 2009. I think it helps to post or email because we know we're all struggling and it reminds us of what we are trying to accomplish. I know I feel better and more inclined to make better choices after I look at the blog.
Let's have a great week!
