Well crap I forgot all about taking my measurements. I guess I'll do that some other time. I'm really dreading it anyway.

I did terrible with my eating yesterday. I also have not exercised as planned. I did get in 4 days this week, thank goodness. I am busy backing up my computer and other stuff related to the house. Shawn and I are going out with 4 other couples tonight so I'm sure I won't be exercising tomorrow either. I'll do better next week. I don't feel guilty or bad though as long as I exercise 3 or more days per week. That is really my bottom line. Now if I could get my eating straightened out, I'd be doing super. I am going to get my period on Monday so that doesn't help.

I forgot to take my measurements this morning. I'll do that on Saturday morning if I don't forget. It's been awhile since I measured myself so I hope I didn't get bigger LOL.

I did it. I exercised this morning for 40 mins. I'm running late for work so will update my site later. I had a very good workout with my weights. :)

I am doing great today. I decided to take a rest day. I plan on taking 2 per week. I'll be taking my other one for this week on Sunday. I am starting to get into my routine again, only this time instead of exercising all 7 days and burning out, I am scheduling 2 rest days. I figure 5 days of working out is much better than what I've done the past month LOL.

I did fairly well with my eating yesterday even considering we had taken Shawn's mom out for her birthday to an Italian restaurant. I ordered a pasta dish that didn't seem very fattening. It actually didn't taste very good so I only nibbled on a few bites. It's a good thing I had a salad beforehand. I am the type of person who usually orders the same thing everytime I go out to eat. It's because everytime I try something new, I hate it! So I'll be ordering my old standby next time.

I have full intention of waking up tomorrow and exercising. I hope I can stick to my guns!

I exercised 3 days in a row. This is the best I've done in over a month! I need to remind myself that unless I exercise every day, with the exception of 1 or 2 rest days, I will not burn off my stored body fat.

I am trying to force myself back into the habit of exercising daily, even if it's for 10 minutes. I know that is better than nothing. I did horrible with my eating today but I am PMSing already. I always get such awful cravings the week before my period. I'm hoping tomorrow won't be so bad and I'm really going to try and watch it. Meanwhile, I am slowly trying to eat healthy and exercise more. I will not give up. I have an important wedding coming up this year. :)

Well I forced myself to exercise this morning. I am still not enjoying this at all. I don't understand what happened to the enthusiasm I had just a few months ago. I used to look forward to working out. Now I'm lucky if I force myself to do it more than once per week. I am really hoping this will change when the weather gets better. Maybe it's just a seasonal thing.

I am doing fairly well with my eating. I think I figured out why I'm not losing any weight even when I've been living on my homemade vegetable soup. I think it's the sodium. I have been draining my vegetables, but next time I will see if I can find some salt free. I do add some frozen vegetables, which are lower in sodium, but some of them are too hard (carrots, and green beans) so I prefer the canned. I had a bad day of eating yesterday, but today should be better.

Cardio - the best time to do cardio for maximum fat loss is an interesting read.

I finally felt good enough to exercise this morning. I cannot believe how sore I was from my last workout. I could barely walk or move all day Sunday and Monday wasn't much better. I still felt too much tightness and soreness to exercise yesterday. So I have altered my workout again. I must have pushed myself way too hard to be that sore for so long. I had full intentions of exercising Monday, but there was no way. My bun muscles were in knots. So I am going a little easier with the repetitions and added some 3 minute cardio bursts to break up the weight lifting. I didn't even do my full workout today as I was beat, but I will work up to it. It should take almost an hour, I would think.

I have been drinking Slim Fast Soy Protein Chocolate shakes everyday for the past couple weeks for breakfast. They are delicious, low in calories, and packed full of vitamins. If I would drink 2 per day, I would get all the vitamins I need. I'd much rather drink that then take my vitamins in pill form, which I always seem to forget. Plus I mix my shake with water and blend it with ice so it's very cold and almost as good as a chocolate shake. I have one every morning for breakfast, and it keeps me satisfied until lunch. I'm still doing very well with my eating, though I am not seeing any movement on my scale.

I'm going to keep plugging away though and hope to increase my exercising to 5 days a week again. I know I'll feel more motivated once the weather gets better. These winter days are just too dreary, and I'm so tired all the time.

I am so sore today. I must have really gotten a super workout yesterday. I'm thinking I probably didn't stretch as well as I should have either. Oh well, next time. I probably won't work out for a few days unless I am not sore tomorrow. I did excellent on my eating yesterday! Even though I'm not officially doing WW, I still count my points at the end of my day and I'm staying within my range. :)
