From Monday 6/27
I lost 4.5 pounds! I officially feel like I'm back on track. I have a work out regime going and I learned yesterday that the elliptical for an hour is not really that bad.
Back to the Present
So I'm sorry for being MIA... I have been running non-stop it feels like. Yesterday I went to get a temp crown on my tooth and ended up finding out I need a root canal... went for that this morning... now I'm in more pain than I was before I went in there!
Anyway, I will catch up on everyone's blogs ASAP and give y'all a real update. Happy Friday and Happy 4th!

Which Seat Can I Taaaaaake?
It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!
Ok, I'm done with that. So this week has been so-so. I am having to spend a lot of money over the next week so I'm not really happy about that. My car needs some things, I needed a new cell phone, and I have to get a crown on my tooth. Oh and I still have to finish paying my tuition and another doctor bill from a couple months ago... oops! Just when I think I have my debt under control... there it goes piling up again. The American dream, right?
Oh well. I'm hoping this weekend will bring some much needed time to sort out clothes and do laundry and stuff. Otherwise, my brother just might sign me up to be on Hoarders or Clean House or something... just me and my room. LoL!
Will be working out tonight... huzzah!
I never really watched much tv as a teen/young adult... until on-demand and dvr came about. I was never around much to watch what I might have wanted to. But thanks to those two inventions, I almost feel like a tv fanatic. That being said, True Blood starts Sunday-- yay! Weed and The Big C are on Monday-- double yay!
Happy Friday! Hope everyone has a fun weekend!

Keeping Motivated
I don't know that my title is grammatically correct, but whatever, you get what I mean.
After having soup with a sick friend last night it took all of my strength to not just go home and veg out. It was getting late and I knew I wasn't going to make it to the gym, but my buddy had sent me a text motivating me to go (she was out of town) so that was in the back of my mind. I made a compromise. I called another friend and asked her to go for a walk with me, so we did! It was a lovely walk... I have no idea how far it was, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least 2 miles. It's going to start getting really hard again to go to the gym because I'm in a lot of pain from my herniated discs. My hip/butt area kills. This always seems to happen when I try to incorporate stretching and weight machines. I think I'm just going to have to stick to the elliptical and occasionally treadmill, though that tends to bore me.
I have class tonight and I forgot my backpack at home! Where's a mom when you need her?

Slimmer This Summer Challenge Week 3
I do WW at work, but today I had a meeting during the time of what would have been my weigh-in. I will try and locate another meeting somewhere else this week so I know how I'm doing, but I'm wary to weigh-in on another day with a different scale... thoughts?
I believe my week went well. The weekend was a little rough because a cousin of mine was visiting, but I tried to not over-indulge. I also took my dad to a baseball game yesterday for father's day and I did have a hot dog ;). Oh, and a huge daquiri, but the only other thing I ate yesterday were some crabs and shrimp so I actually stayed within my P+ for the day. Mmmm crabs.
Also last week I worked out Monday and Wednesday. Trust, it will be more this week. It takes me a little while to get used to new routines. I have a buddy now and that makes all the difference.

Wahoo!
Today was amazing. I was in a good mood pretty much all day. I ate pretty well and had an AWESOME work out. It was really hard and I pushed myself a great deal, but in the end I felt great afterwards, well, great and starving haha. I came home and made myself some tofu shirataki noodles and melted some laughing cow light cheese in them. I also heated up a morningstar grilled chikn patty and steamed some snap peas. I mixed that all together and it was delish!
Class was alright last night. We actually got out early... 9:15 instead of 9:40... I'll take it! Tuesdays are so long. Just six weeks left though and I'll have a master's degree!
I appreciate all the support I've received thus far from StS challengers and other readers. Does anyone know what I should do for my "bingo arms," i.e. the flabby mcflabsterness that's going on?
Oy, I'm tired. Goodnight for now!

STS Challenge Week 2...
Alright, instead of simply avoiding my blog like I have done in the past, I will own up to my setbacks. I did not work out at all last week. Not for lack of want, but for a lack of time. I seriously never got home until late every night. I also for some reason was incessantly hungry and that trend is sort of carrying on through this week. I weighed in yesterday and gained 2 pounds. Not cute.
I did work out yesterday though. I got on that elliptical and called it my biotch. Luckily, I had some sweet man candy to ogle while I was at the gym :). I totally nullified my working out though by eating two slices of pizza, two chicken tenders, a couple spoonfuls of crab dip, and curly fries. You may be wondering if I'm really serious about this challenge? Well, I'm not trying to make excuses for my poor decisions, but I really wanted a 3rd or maybe even a 4th slice of pizza. There was also one lone chicken tender left in the basket that I was tempted to eat just because I didn't want it to go to waste... but I didn't. I really kept thinking about how I had done enough damage already just by eating what I ate and how I don't want to be (pardon the expression) a fatass anymore. I know we're not allowed to say the "f" word in WW, but that's what I feel like sometimes.
Food-wise today has not been that stellar of a day... just pray the profs bring Subway again for dinner and not pizza tonight. I will not get home until after 10 so I will not be working out today. However, I will be there tomorrow for sure. (Especially since I now have man candy motivation).
I did drink more water this past week, but not enough, especially not over this past weekend when it was near 100 degrees and I was outside in it. Oh! But it was my Goddaughter's 2nd birthday and she is SUCH a doll! Her parents built her a playset for her birthday and she just had a blast all day on that thing. She was climbing and sliding and swinging and everyone was doting on her. It was a lot of fun. We also had the traditional keg... lol... which we finished by midnight that night. Note: no children were given beer, only juice boxes.. hahaha.
Wish me luck on a better week! And good luck to y'all StS challengers!

Watch This
So I watched this and I'm now paranoid more than ever about developing skin cancer/melanoma. I am a fair ginger who has been burned so badly as a youngster I got blisters. Searching for a dermatologist pronto.
Remember to wear sunscreen y'all!
