Still alive!! Not that anyone ever really reads this thing anyway..
I kinda needed a break, and plan on getting back into gear on the 13th! I have fantastic news though, I weighed in at 175 this morning!!!!! That's another 4 pounds GONE. FOREVER!
See ya in a little less than a couple weeks!! I PROMISE to be on my best behavior until then...

Okay, so I didn't reach my Christmas goal of 169, but that's okay! I kinda knew better than to make myself diet throughout the holidays. I'm pretty sure I gained a good 5-7 pounds back, but it's nothing I can't get rid of! I'm SO ready to start the new year off with a bang. I went and got new healthy groceries for the week and plan to be up and at it at 4:15 in the morning to get in the days' first workout! I hope everyone had an incredible Christmas, I know I did!
My first weigh-in will be on January 7th, that way I can get a more accurate idea of the damage. I'm SO ready to get the last bit of this weight off in 2018!!!
[breakfast] a scoop of slimfast 'creamy chocolate' advanced nutrition smoothie mix + 8 oz. calorie countdown milk- free
[snack] a healthy harvest unsweetened blueberry applesauce cup - 13
I was SO tired from getting up at 4 this morning for my first workout that all I wanted to do when I got off work was take a nap! I ended up skipping out on lunch (which I wasn't hungry for at all, must be all the carbs I've been taking in, lol!). I didn't get any headaches from a lack of caffeine or carbohydrates, no fatigue other than the expected woke-up-too-early sleepiness and am SO happy to be back on plan!

So I didn't really get to start the year out how I would have liked. I haven't blown my healthy eating at all, but I had to drop the workouts over the weekend because of ovulation pain. It starts out as a feverish heavy feeling in one side (it changes sides from month to month), and then it becomes a bit painful and achey. It usually goes away within 24-32 hours, but oh man, it really put me down this month! When I've been eating healthily all month and getting in enough exercise it's easy to shrug off and ignore, but I didn't even feel up to getting groceries on Friday! Not fun at all, but unfortunately it's something I get the pleasure of dealing with, ugh!
Okay, enough of this woe-is-me stuff, I'm starting fresh this week. I stepped on the scale and I'm right at 180, so not nearly as horrible as I thought it would be! 6 pounds should be easy to drop to get back to where I was as long as I stay motivated and make healthy choices. HOWEVER, I will be giving myself a break on the 17th-18th to celebrate with my husband. -- For Christmas I bought him tickets to see the Lakers at the Thunder stadium (Chesapeake arena) in Oklahoma City. We're SO EXCITED!!!! We leave very early on the 17th, will be staying overnight and are going to be coming back home on the 18th. Definite motivation to keep this whole sha-bang going.
OH! And another thing. I was reading about vitamin deficiencies and found that when you're lacking in vitamin d, it causes major fatigue/sleepiness, low levels of it are also linked to low thyroid and irregulates blood pressure. I'm going to be picking up some vitamin d to take and see if it changes this always sleepy feeling that I have. will update on this in the upcoming weeks!

Just to let you guys know, I bought a 4-pack of these the other day and they're not doing it for me at all! I'm only drinking them because I don't like wasting. I wanted a little less expensive of an option, as the slimfast shakes are practically 8.00 for a 4-pack. These, however, were only 5.00. They're WAY too sweet, and more watered down rather than creamy like a shake should be. I'm starting to think I'll never find something as good as slimfast!
