Thursday Recap

travelgal — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:04:34 +0000

Thursday was haphazard in terms of complete on track-ness because I was at work until after 10. So I didnt go to the gym. But food was pretty on track today, and official Friday Weigh In was 202, so I’m happy. Goal for next Wednesday is Onederland, and hopefully I can gym a few times before then!

Happy Friday!

ugh wednesday. a true humpday..

ugh, im so tired and need to go to bed, but I didnt blog yesterday, and I’m off track so I need to blog today so I can be 100% on track tomorrow and feel good and accomplished, etc etc.

So yesterday I ate semi on track and went to the gym and did 33 min elliptical and 15 min abs.

then i stayed up late last night stupidly, and was so tired today, so i didnt go to the gym which sucked. and WORSE, at my office, we literally had a cookie party, no joke, a party with just cookies. great. i had so many i cant even count.

the one good thing is that I had a not terrible unofficial weigh in this morning, who knows what it will be tomorrow am. yikes!

but goal for tomorrow, is 100% on track food, + my full normal 1.5 hour workout at the gym! i can do it! and If/when I have my completely on track day with only the food i plan plus my full on plan workout, i will make my self a delicious on track dinner!

I can do this!! THursday Will be ON TRACK 100%!!!

back to full time blogging and full time on track from now forward. i realize (obviously) there is a high correlation with blogging and staying on track! therefore, ive got to keep both of them up!!!

i can do it! night yall!

Back on track tomorrow!

I was out of town at a big family function this weekend, so I wasn’t much on track or exercising really, and today was a a hodge podge of things, but I’ve made all of my meals for the rest of the week, have my gym bag packed, and plan on going to the gym 5 days between tomorrow and Sunday. Goal is onederland by next Wednesday. I can do it! I was so close last week!

Full blogging tomorrow!

the last few days..

so this week is a bit unusual again because I’m out of town again. so, I’m trying to just make the right/best food choices that I can.

but! I had an official weigh in today, and I weighed in at 202, which has been my lowest weight this go round, which is great!! I can smell onederland next week! woohoo!

not sure if i’ll be posting the rest of the weekend or not, but I’ll be back to posting and on track on Monday!
