Hi everyone, we have a really healthy number of people involved in this! Awesome!
ValRock, because of your inspirational talk, I'm pitching the eggos. haha You need to be one of those trainers/nutritionists on those weight loss shows, who goes into the participants' houses and clears out their fridges with no sympathy!
Ilovemo, Tyler90az, ChouKoe, & Abejune, CkM....Welcome!!! We've only been together for a few weeks, but I already know that the people here are awesome! Spiritualflow has done something awesome for all of us!
Suzll, I'm jealous! I LOVE hiking! And in actual mountains? How tranquil! Well, maybe at rest breaks haha I can't imagine I'd be very relaxed or at peace when I'm fighting for breath going up and down slopes all day. Bread is also a weakness of mine (See above Eggo situation hehe), but it's one step at a time! This is a process, and you already seem to be doing well with your diet! Plain broccoli pieces?! I don't think you could make me eat those if you had a gun pointed at me! I need ranch!
Princess of the KING, I feel you. I had never been more ready to get home from school just a week ago. Soon enough! Keep studying!

Alright, so...yesterday I went to the one and only Cedar Point. If you aren't familiar with this majestical place, it's the best amusement park in the world (Not even exaggerating), and it's only 2.5 hours away from me in Sandusky, Ohio! My boyfriend and I are both roller coaster nerds, so he took me there for our 1 year! I feel kinda bad because boy, it's not cheap to spend a day there, BUT...not bad enough to say no to his offer!
I'm terrible.
I actually went to Subway the night before and got 2 footlongs for us to keep in a cooler in the car, and we left the park for about 30 minutes to eat our subs (and provide a cell phone for an unfortunate couple who locked their keys in the trunk of the car), and I was very proud of this decision. We saved money AND calories/overall health by not buying the park food. Plus, we were walking around all day and the only things we ate in the park were pretzel thins and Light Pringles that I packed.
Sadly, I succumbed to the hunger pains I was experiencing upon leaving the town of Sandusky and to the convenience of "Chet and Matt's pizza" located right outside of the park.
Meat Lovers. 3 types of meat. So much sodium. So much cheese. So many carbs. AHHH!
But I'm not kicking myself over it any more because I am now IN IT TO WIN IT! IT being....confidence, health, the number 130 on my scale - that type of stuff. I'm 100% committed to this effort.
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm kind of...odd, so please forgive the rambling and weirdness of this post because I'm just in one of those moods this morning.
As for my food...
Breakfast - Blueberry bagel with 2 tbs. Strawberry cream cheese (400 calories). This breakfast is possibly my favorite of all time. Not the best FOR me, but it tastes delicious, and it's giving me the necessary carbs to complete "Insanity: PURE CARDIO"! haha God, help me.
Edit:
Snack - 1.5 cups of chocolate milk after my workout (225 calories)
Lunch/Supper - Fruit salad (bananas, strawberries, and blueberries) and a chicken taco (whole wheat tortilla, fiesta lime rice (pinterest recipe), sprinkle of cheese, grilled chicken strips, and a little bit of sour cream)
We shall see what the rest of the day has in store, but I also took some Energy boosting multivitamins.
I'm SO sore. Insanity and walking around all day yesterday have my body feeling like it has served as a punching bag. My calves feel like somebody took a knife to them, and my back has knots everywhere. I'm going to need a good stretch prior to and following my workout!
Okay, I'm going. Jeesh. I apologize for this post.
Happy Friday, everyone! We made it!
