Monday-One of the Last of the year

The year has gone by so fast.  And it has been a lot of ups and downs with this weight thing, the running thing, getting back on track, and finding what I truly want.  I am ready for the new year...with all its hopes and possibilities.

So the weekend was good, and I plan on keeping that trend.  I told Jake to stay after me on the eating and exercise over the holidays.  No time to waste getting rid of extra pounds put on...besides, I'm going shopping after New Year's, so I am hoping to fit into some smaller sizes.

Breakfast:  Oatmeal with blackberries, veggie sausage:  250 calories

Lunch: Soup, Salad, Kiwi, carrots:  250 calories

From Thursday to Sunday

Well, tomorrow I return to work. I am struggling these days with it, so I am putting on my game face. It's not the people or the place, I LOVE both, it's that this is not what I am meant to do. Alot of thought and talks took place over the weekend. Who knows....

Anyway, I didn't record everything I ate, but I stayed within my 1400 calorie limit each day.

I worked out too, and ran the Jingle Bell Run on Saturday morning...BBRRRR!!!! it was cold!

That's it until tomorrow morning!

What Can You Do?

Well, last night I got to Greg's apartment and was completely disgusted. I can't wait until we get married and I don't have to clean two places. Ugh. He's completely helpless during this time of year. It's pathetic. I call him letting him know I'm going to work out before he gets home, well the office has gone keyless and he didn't have the new "key". So I couldn't get in. *sigh* Fine. So I get to his apartment, walk up the stairs and there sitting on the counter is my mom's potato soup that she made for Greg and I to eat. He had left it out all night and day. It had spoiled. I wanted to cry. I didn't get any. Not only had he left that out, he also had trash overflowing, pizza boxes stacked on the stove, and clothes piled on the dryer. Well what could I do, right? I cleaned. So I know it's an excuse that I didn't work out but in all honesty, there was no way I was going to run outside! haha So I was hopeful for tonight, but he told me this morning as he was leaving that we are going to a friend's house for dinner. Which means a late night for us, which means no work out. UGH! I'm going to lose weight. I am.

Not much time today, but just a couple of notes!  You are doing great Amy, I have no doubt that by next fall you will get rid of the pounds you want to!!  So no stressing about weight, it just adds to all the other, you can do it!!

Sleeping is not going well, I seem to be in a permanent "on" mode.  I can't seem to turn off my mind or my body thinking it should be doing and doing and doing. Did my circuit training this morning.  Already seems to be getting easier!

Finally!

I finally worked out last night. As reluctant as I was to go, I still went and it felt great. I did, however, remember why I hate working out in my facility so much. Ugh. It was packed by the time I left. People just standing around trying to make you feel uncomfortable so you'll get off the treadmill and they can get on. Oh well! I was good for me. :) Hopefully I'll be able to work out tonight before Greg gets off of work. He makes me want to be lazy. haha
