The rest of Sunday

Dinner was rice, potato salad, hamburger(just meat) and a slice of semi-homemade pineapple upside down cake.

I really wanted to get some exercise in but...well, actually I can't remember what I did for the rest of the night. I know I fell asleep around 11 pm. And that's all I remember. Hmmm??? Weird...

But I did get 8 hours of sleep. Woo hoo!! I feel great. I rarely get that much sleep on a weeknight. What a treat! (Can you tell I love my sleep?)

By the by, I almost screwed up my challenge already (more on that tomorrow). Can you believe it? It's only the first day and I come thisclose to messing it all up. Ridiculous, right?

Saturday & Sunday

Saturday
Breakfast: Snickers Ice-cream bar, finished off the cookie dough candies
Lunch: Mondongo (the Colombian variety)
Dinner: some more soup
Movie snacks: handful of raisinettes, handful of bacon cheddar chips

Sunday
Breakfast: scrambled egg, toast
Lunch: split chili cheese fries, double steakburger from Steak'n'Shake with the boyfriend, plus a chocolate shake
Dinner: TBD

I should have never had the chocolate shake. I am super full now (and I feel super gross).

Eek! That was a lot of junk food. But that is how my weekends typically go. Must be stronger, must say no to junk food.

Weigh-in was this morning. I am up on the scale (surprise, surprise) but I am still under 260. I have to look on the bright side of things, but it's getting more and more difficult. I think it's time for a Challenge!!

This week's challenge
-Absolutely no junk/fast food during the week
-Eat all planned meals
-Only 1 cheat meal this week (date night with the boyfriend)
-30 minutes on the elliptical...e v e r y day this week.

Do you think I can pull it off???

P.S. I lost a follower =(. I guess my gross eating habits are turn-off. Oh well, whaddaya gon' do?

Day 2 of telling the truth

Friday Re-cap

Breakfast: cottage cheese, pineapple
In between: cake (I was craving cake so bad, so I stopped at Kroger in the a.m. =/), banana
Lunch: rice, chicken breast, green beans
In between: apple
Dinner: 2 chicken wings, 3 chicken strips, handful of crinkle fries, 1/2 toast (courtesy of Zaxby's)
Late night pig-out: handful of Bacon Cheddar chips, handful of Life Saver gummies, handful of chocolate chip cookie dough candies

Lots of junk food but it was the boyfriend and I's movie night, so it only happens once a week. We picked up X-men Origins: Wolverine and The Proposal (I loved the Wolverine movie, I was pleasantly surprised. The Proposal was just OK) from Redbox and some snacks. I am such a homebody and love spending a night in relaxing, and watching movies.

P.S. I am still not talking to my elliptical. I see him there, looking at me, calling out to me, but I'm very good at ignoring him. I am so not ready for this relationship.

The truth shall set me free...

I've decided to come out with ALL the nitty gritty details of my day. All the eating and workout fails and everything else in between. Seriously, E V E R Y T H I N G. The whole purpose of this blog was to keep myself accountable and I'm just not cutting it. I need to show the world how bad, but also how good, I can be.

Thursday
Breakfast: cottage cheese, diced pineapple, banana
In between: 2 pieces of See's chocolate & nuts
Lunch: the greatest hamburger, fries, & cherry coke
Dinner: chicken breast, rice, green beans
Snack: turkey sandwhich (turkey, bread, slice of provolone, light mayo)

Hmmm??? I seriously thought I ate way more food than that (or was that the day before?). I guess it wasn't a complete fail. Well, except for that hamburger part.

I got home last night with every intention of spending some quality time with my elliptical machine. But then I lay down on the bed, started watching some TV with the boyfriend, and you know how it goes. Grrrr!!

Ok, enough about that.

Beauty Post
Since, life isn't always about weight loss, I thought I'd do a little plug for a product I recently discovered.

I love, love, love the look of fresh acrylic nails. But they can be such a pain. First off, they can get pricey. Second, sometimes the nail salons don't seem very sanitary (uh, hello!! nail fungus!!). And lastly, acrylic nails are killer for your nail's overall health. But they sure are pretty.

So I tried these little beauts. And came out with this:

Don't mind my gross cuticles

Cute, right? Can you even tell these weren't done at a salon? I couldn't! And all for seven bucks!! You can probably find them cheaper somewhere else, but I was a goober and stopped at the most expensive place on earth (CVS). They were really durable and felt like acrylic tips. I love, love, love them. If you need to, check out this tutorial. It was very helpful on putting these little suckers on.

Still here...

but not doing so much.

My eating has been horrible and I have not yet forced myself to jump on the elliptical machine (although, my body is craving a workout!).

I still have a bit of a cough that I haven't been able to shake so I'm kind of scared to get all huffy and puffy. But tonight (before the Vampire Diaries, of course) I'll try to get me some fitness time.

Wish me luck!

It pays to be Sick??

If I can get a 3.8 pound loss, it sure does!!!

This past week, I have been mighty sick with a cold/flu. I'm finally getting rid of the stuffy/runny nose. I still have a bit of a cough and a sore throat, but I'm hoping to try to do 30 minutes on the elliptical tonight. I've been really wanting to workout these past couple of days, too. So I'm looking forward to being 100 percent not sick.

I went shopping on Saturday with the boyfriend. With the cold weather here, I was on the hunt for some boots (and he was on the hunt for some new soccer cleats). Now, I'm really.....what do you call it?, frugal. I really don't like spending lots of money on clothes or shoes. $20 is my absolute max to spend on one item. So, you can't imagine how happy I was when I walked into Charlotte Russe and saw that the shoes were on sale for Buy one, get the 2nd for $15. Picked up these little gems in black and brown and all for around 23 bucks each. Score!

Yesterday, was the best relaxing day. The boyfriend and I picked up some pizza from his favorite pizza place and rented some movies from RedBox. We had only seen Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen in the theater so we watched it again. I had forgotten how funny it was. I think it was better the second time around. I really, really liked it!. It will definitely be added to our movie collection. If you haven't watched it yet, watch it. Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed. While you're at it, check out Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, too. There were some laughs in there and it was really cute.

Being sick really sucks. Hopefully I'm back by this weekend.
