Bye Bye September!
And helloooooo October!
I didn’t reach my goal but that’s alright. However I am being more consistent with working out and lifting weights! I just can’t believe that this month is over already! So I’ll just keep this little goal for the month of October as well. Maybe second time’s the charm right?
My goals for October:
Get out of the 160’s.
Continue working out...

sarahgettinghealthy asked: Hello! So the meet up is definitely on for Oct 2nd! Ashleigh is taking the train to Temple and she is going to get here around noon. After that we are going to walk to wherever we are going to meet everyone else. Where would be best to meet for you? If you are taking a train we can meet you at the train stop or we can pick a destination like City Hall where we can all meet at a certain time. ...

And over the weekend...
I bought this awesome notepad (It’s actually a mousepad, but whatever)! I plan on using it to record my eating and workouts. I love how it’s for 5 days a week since I mainly screw up on the weekends but hey, 5 days of healthy eating and exercise is better than nothing right? And of course I will still work out on the weekends as well. Eventually, I’ll get to a point in time where...

A mini-goal for this week.
I always plan ahead what I want to do as far as workouts… it’s actually doing it that’s the problem. I think a big part of it is that I intimidate myself with unrealistic goals. I’ll schedule myself to do over an hour and a half of aerobics and strength training combined and end up flaking out for the day due to lack of time, energy, or whatnot. I’m always making up...

I take the train from Fox Chase Station. Are you taking the train too?
I am! It’s a billion times easier. I take it from Woodbourne.
Isn’t it! Much better than being stuck in traffic or trying to take the bus. Yikes!

Along with a bowl of oatmeal. Yum!
Hopefully my arms will still be intact tomorrow morning…

Today started out great...
I woke up super early this morning to workout:
35 minutes on the elliptical
10 minutes on treadmill
Leg weight machines (not sure what they’re called)
I ate really healthy today until I started to stress out about school work. That’s when it all went downhill. I didn’t do that bad, I’m just so disappointed that I allowed myself to mess up all the hard work that I had...

Loving my new workout DVD!
I’ve been looking around for a new workout DVD to use my kettlebells with. The DVD that came with them is kind of slow and boring so I wanted something a little more intense. Well, here it is! I purchased it at Best Buy yesterday and used it this morning and I love it!
sarahgettinghealthy asked: Hello! Would you still be interested in a Philly meetup on October 2nd? I'm trying to get the definite group together so we can start planning specifics!

I'm getting there...
This morning:
Power walking on the treadmill for 50 minutes at different levels
This afternoon:
squats
lunges
crunches
I am sore and I haven’t felt that way in a long time. I sort of missed it. Tomorrow’s challenge will be to record what I eat and to eat every 3-4 hours even though I’m at school (I usually skip eating when I take classes). That’s my mini-goal for...

Is anyone else's 'drafts' page screwed up?
sarahgettinghealthy asked: Hey! It was so much fun and we are trying to plan another one for October with a bigger group (we kind of winged it this time haha!) We haven't picked a date yet, but it will most likely be a Saturday. Are there any specific dates that don't work for you?

So far so good today!
After a weekend of craziness I am forcing myself to get back on track. My other attempts up to this point have failed, mainly due to laziness and procrastination. NOT TODAY.
I woke up, ate a healthy breakfast of oatmeal and apple slices, did a half hour of step aerobics, and lifted weights!
Now, I will go do homework!

Currently making my food shopping list. Any...
I’ve really screwed up this week food wise so I’m going to make a much better effort to eat healthier next week! I also have to get back to eating every 3-4 hours, especially on the days I have school, so I don’t come home and devour everything in the kitchen.
I’m going to plan my meals and snacks for each day and try my best not to stray from it! I also want to try some...

Well, tomorrow's a new day.
I didn’t do so well with the eating today. I need to stop picking up junk at the supermarket and thinking that I can resist it once I buy it. Why do I do that? It’s like I’m purposefully sabotaging my progress! That’s crazy!
I’m going to bed now so I’ll be
more alert for a morning workout and class. There’s nothing like starting the morning right =]...
An update of my life.
Seriously, I feel like I’m losing it Tumblr! I tried to step away from tumblr a bit because I was too obsessed with it but now I feel like I’m not dedicated enough! *sigh* I have still been trying to eat right and workout these days so it’s not like I’ve been sitting around stuffing my face.
I’m going to make more of an effort to post here and at the same time, keep...

Today...
I went downtown and went ‘School Shopping’. I bought some new clothes becasue I just can’t stand them falling off of me even with a belt on. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact that my old clothes don’t fit but SHEESH! I’m getting tired of looking like a frumpy mess!
I didn’t buy much. Just one pair of jeans and a few shirts. I also went into Sephora and...

September
I have only one goal for you, September. Sorry, no long list of things I know I should change but can’t. None of the over-the-top challenges I tend to make for myself. I don’t have the room for failure this month. I just have one goal this time:
Get out of the 160’s.
That’s only four pounds. I can lose that this month, and I will. And by the end of this month, my scale...

Feeling much better today!
Well, it looks like my cold is finally going away! Hooray! I went to the gym this morning and power walked on the treadmill. I wanted to start week 2 of C25K but my body wasn’t having that. Maybe tomorrow? Who knows.
Also, I won’t be doing the whole gym early bird thing anymore. I’m just too tired for it. I’m much better at breaking a sweat later in the day anyway....
