Grumble, grumble.

Hmph. I didn’t want to get up this morning. Truth be told, I could have slept longer. The alarm went off at 7:30am. I had planned to get to the gym this morning but I’m just too tired.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I had work from 9 - 3 (was supposed to stay until 7 but working crazy over time this week. I just couldn’t do it). After work I ran home to get my sports bras that I forgot to pack in my gym bag. Gym was shortly there after for an awesome cardio work out. I came home, had dinner, computed a bit, read a bit and filled out an assessment for BOA. Bed was shortly there after.

Ashley referred me to a job in a town over. After the assessment they said based on my responses I wasn’t right for the job. Ashley said she got the same response when she took it the first time. For some reason I always fail those.. I think it’s because I’m too honest. If they want me to lie profusely they should just say that.. Heh. I hate those. They make no sense. Anyway, Ash said she was going to take a look for me. Bless her heart. That girl is always helping me out.. Even when I refuse or don’t ask for it. I love her.

I need to step it up on cardio. Last night was a great work out. I did 45 minutes on the treadmill with decent times of jogging. In 45 minutes I completed 3.25 miles which is a great time for me. Sweat was pouring down, my face was red and I felt great. At the end of my work out I blasted Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff. Haha. I need an actual work out schedule. Maybe heart pumping cardio three days a week. The other days of the week I can alternate my Denise Austin DVDs since I got three of them. I don’t know. Since I’m obviously not getting there today I’ll throw in one of those.

Today is going to be beautiful. The high is 72 degrees and OH!.. I almost forgot! Happy Spring all! Today is the first day of it! :D I’ve got a cute outfit planned out. Pretty floral top I got from Kohls and light blue PacSun jeans. I’m really into coordinating and putting outfits together lately. For a while I was out of it but now I love it. Hehe. I’ve got to get a cute gray cardigan to throw over my white sundress. I also need a nice pair of sandals instead of the flimsy Old Navy flip flops (which I have a ton of in each color!). Doesn’t this weather just make you want to SHOP!? Me too.. Hehe.

What better inspiration to lose weight then to wear cute clothes? It was always one of my motivational techniques, for sure. And now that swim suits are right around the corner I’ve got to step up my game. Alternating cardio (preferred on days where I don’t get out of work late) and my strengthening work outs at home. Things need to change or I’m going to be stuck where I am (which is about ten pounds above where I was comfortable with myself).

Food has been really good. I’ve been writing down what I eat in a little notebook. I’ve been staying away from candy, chips and diner food. It’s so hard when I’m with Drew though. I’ve been doing well this week because I’m not with him. He told me that when we go on vacation he had better not catch me counting calories. I may not count calories but I need to be careful, regardless. Things can get out of hand. We’re going to the super market before we get to Foxwoods so I plan on getting some granola bars, a case of water and fruit. Stick to what I know. Grilled not fried. Greens on my plate. If it is chock full of bland colors then it isn’t fresh and probably isn’t good for me. I’ve got to keep my wits about me.

In order to prepare for it I think Sunday through Tuesday will be cardio. I would go on Wednesday if I could but I don’t think I’d be able to get that day off. Actually… If I get off at 3pm I could probably go to the gym after work. My train is at about 6:16pm. I could work out, get home and shower. I would just have to make sure my bags are all packed! Ooo! Good plan! :D I’m getting so excited for it. Maybe today I’ll skip out on my break and get a work out in. I’ll bring my gym clothes just in case. Woop woop!

Welp. I guess that’s all for today. Work is in a couple of hours. Have a great day, everyone! And again, happy Spring!
