Lent

I have never participated in lent before, but I have chosen to this year. I think it is a great opportunity to rid myself of something for 40 days. I have chosen to give up soda for 40 days.

Maybe I can finally mark that goal off my list! :) I know how bad it is but it tastes soooo good.

Success!

It's been 1 whole month no fast food!! I at least achieved one of my goals. This makes me feel so good I'm going to go for 2 months now. No fast food until March 7th!!

I have been severely slacking otherwise. No working out in the last couple of weeks due to a very irritating sinus infection that comes and goes constantly. It is miserable.

I need to get my booty to the gym. Vacation is pretty much 4 months away...and I would like to lose 30 lbs by then.

Soda

I'm guilty of having at least one coke a day. Maybe this will help...

I found it on {Bye Bye Baby Fat} on Facebook.

I Hate Being Sick

So I've been pretty sick. I never kicked it and it really picked up full gear Wednesday on until now. I still feel like crap. Needless to say, I only worked out Monday last week. Sad face.

On the up side, I ate really well. I knew I wasn't going to be able to workout so I made up for it by eating great. It was hard too, being sick and on my period and all.

In two weeks I have lost 3 lbs. I'm so excited!! I'm excited to see how much I lose when I'm working out more too.

Supportive Husband

Supportive husband win! I begged...I mean BEGGED my husband to pick me up McDonald's tonight. He refused. He told me I'd regret it afterwards.

WARNING! TMI AHEAD!!

I'm on my period. I am such a binge eater at this time. I just want to eat everything. I'm really glad he said no. I knew as I was begging it was a bad idea. I think in my head I really did want him to say no, because otherwise I would have turned into a raving lunatic and he would have ended up getting it. I think I did good. He did good. Hurray!

I've lost steam about my workout tomorrow. It's freezing and gloomy outside. There's an ice storm warning right now. Hopefully I'll get my steam back tomorrow. Don't worry-I still plan on going.

Until next time...

Weekend Update

It was a rainy, lazy weekend with my two favorites guys, my husband and son. I planned on working out on Saturday, which would have kept the every other day workouts in place, but I skipped out. Instead I chased my toddler around. Fair trade? I think so. I worked up a sweat a few times. I am pretty disappointed in myself though. I ate pretty bad too. No fast food though. I'm sticking to that.

Brag: My husband went to McDonald's Sunday morning for breakfast and I did not partake. GO ME!

Shame: I missed my workout.

I did go workout today though. I knew I did not want to miss it. I was afraid if I did, I'd fall right back into that routine again. It was sleeting and nasty out, but I forced myself to go. I'm so glad I did. I started myfitnesspal again. I really just like to have a place to see how many calories I'm taking in.

I probably won't post much on weekends. I'm too busy loving on my sweet boy. I'm looking forward to my workout Wednesday!

Second Workout: Check!

I went to the Y last night. Yesterday morning I was so pumped but by the end of the work day I was dragging and dreading it. I powered through it though and felt so good afterwards. I think the every other day thing will be good for me.

I need good ideas for pre and post workout snacks and meals. If you have any, please let me know. I am very lazy when it comes to meals, so it needs to be SIMPLE, grab and go kind of things. Thanks in advance!

I think I'm going to take a class tomorrow. I will only go if my sister comes too though. It should be fun.
