Hey everyone!
It's MAY! Can't believe it! I'm having a great time with my week off! Friday I went to sushi with my boyfriend, then went out for a few celebratory drinks afterwards. Nothing crazy, but felt nice to be in a bar setting. We rarely go out drinking as a couple so it was nice! Saturday bf surprised me to a trip to the zoo! It was definitely one of the best zoos I've been to, I had an awesome day! Sunday we went to an amazing Italian restaurant that has a killer lunch deal. The food felt really fresh and tasted lovely.
On Monday I came back to my place and just chilled out, then yesterday was karaoke day! Had an awesome time, definitely got my karaoke fix for a while!
Food wise: It's been up and down. I had a good mentality to not cave in and eat what my boyfriend was having, which I was impressed with. Also stuck to water for most of the weekend. Tuesday was a baaad day, I drank nearly a whole bottle of Malibu mixed with melon pop and orange pop
. I tried to stay away from the "heavy" pop like Pepsi though. I know all pop is bad though, but I always feel like Coke/Pepsi is really dense? Is that just me? I also only had cereal, an ice cream my friend bought for us all, and some fries. Today I bought a pizza :/. I was supposed to get one with a friend but I ended up cancelling (more on that in a minute) but really had my heart set on pizza so I just bought one anyway. There was no need, and I was almost not going to share it with you guys but that's what I'm here for isn't it? To stay accountable.
Fitness wise: The zoo trip had me out all day walking around a very hilly area (seriously it was like a zoo in a forest! Epic!) so that was a great workout in itself. If MFP is correct apparently it would have burned like 500 calories. Sunday I went for a run, which I was going to just do 2 miles but ended up doing a whopping FIVE because I got horrifically lost! I was meant to turn off a river route and head back to the apartment on the road but took the wrong wrong and kept going for a stupid amount of time. But hey ho, I win at exercise that day I guess! Monday I have NO excuse, should have worked out but was sooo tired. Whenever I sleep in the same bed as my boyfriend I never get a good nights sleep. Tuesday I was out all day and today...well there's still time left to mend the problem!
So all in all, even if I don't get all my exercise in this week there's no more excuses to not do it after I get back to work. I said I would workout and eat better this week and so far I haven't kept to that sentiment 100%, more like 70%. But I wanted to do it to establish routine, but if I don't manage to get my arse into gear then I'll have to force exercise!
I decided to abolish my old charting system, I would measure my weight loss on a paper with dates on the bottom and weight on the side and use the good ol' line graph formula. But I made a new chart that's just a block with the numbers 1-30 and I'm going to strike out the amount of pounds I lose heading to 30. I know I have less than 30 lbs left to lose but I thought 30 was a snappier number ;p. So I'm 3 blocks down at 156 lbs still. I also drew a little water droplet that says "b!tch, drink yourself a glass of water!" so the idea is that whenever I look at it I have to fill up my water bottle and drink ;p. And of course there's a "get off your fat a$$ and workout!" message. I should listen to my own advice!
So yeah, last night I fainted again. Because of the drink/lack of food it just all added up and I passed out again. Luckily I was with a friend and I managed to get off the train I was on in time to sit down before it happened. I just flopped off to the side so it could have been worse. My friend was sooo nice and took care of me and even drove me home from her house (she lives in the same city as the boyfriend) so I feel so guilty for burdening her but I'm so happy she was there for me. Will have to buy her a thank you present! My boyfriend was out that night with his friends and came back SO drunk. He was really fun at first, but then it all went downhill and he threw up 3 times. He kept apologising to me over and over because he knew I had fainted and wanted to take care of me. I managed to get a bowl of oatmeal in me before I drifted to sleep which really helped.
Today I still felt really blergh, hungover mainly, and didn't really feel like entertaining tonight. The person I was meeting up with is a co-worker, and she kinda invited herself over because we're not THAT close, but I don't mind hanging out with her but she can be really hard to talk to sometimes! She's one of those self conscious about everything she says types, so she'll start to let go and talk but then withdraw and say "oh sorry, I'm just blabbing." But anyway, I just couldn't be bothered if I'm honest! I know it sounds harsh but I was so drained from yesterday that I just wanted to be on my lonesome!
Tomorrow I'm going to go shopping. I was supposed to go today but obviously with yesterdays fiasco and the boyfriend being a hungover cripple we agreed to do it tomorrow. Going to hit up 2 big shops that I know for sure sell my size; Forever 21 and H&M.
Whew I've ranted way too long!
Bunnydream, Dani & thinkfit - Welcome! Loving the positive vibes!!
rainbow - That's not too long! I was apart from my boyfriend for 7 months once, it wasn't nice but we made it. I think because we knew we were going to end up in the same place it kept us positive! I want to join you in that "it's a new month, let's do this!" vibe! We can do it!!
