I'm findin' it hard to believe we're in heaven

Loss for the week: 0.8 pounds

As God as my witness, the scale will be much lower next week. Even if I have to cut off a leg!!

Have a great weekend everybody!

If I 'm not back again this time tomorrow

Tuesday - no workout

Wednesday - 30 min. HIIT, arms and abs

I finally got a workout in. I really needed it. Now all I need to do is keep working out for the rest of the week.

My eating wasn't the greatest these past couple of days either. But I'm here today and I'm going to TRY to stick to what I have planned to eat.



I'm thinking of proposing. Do you think they'll marry me?

Oh,how I love thee

Yes, I'm proposing to a cereal. I found this stuff at Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago and just got around to trying it this week. Two words: Yum O. This cereal tastes so much like Captain Crunch Crunch Berries. But it's good for you!! It doesn't stay crunchy the way the two Kashi Go Lean Crunches do, so I wouldn't really recommend eating this with yogurt (the way I usually eat Kashi) as it will get soggy quicker. But 'tis awesome in milk. And it's been awhile since I've eaten cereal the way it should be eaten. This is has been my morning breakfast the past couple of days and will continue to be until I get tired of it or Wal-Mart runs out of it, whichever comes first.

Tell me all your thoughts on God

As you can tell by now, if I'm not posting that means I'm not doing much.

The last day I worked out was Friday (3o min. HIIT). And I think the last healthy meal I had was Friday night, also. It's been a lazy food filled 3 days.

But I'm over it and moving on.

Plus, the boyfriend says I can't play with the Cricut tonight if I don't workout. And I'm almost done with a project, so I HAVE to get my workout on tonight.

RECIPES
There is no meat allowed in our house on Fridays. I sneak my meat in at work...tee hee. So last Friday I tried out some vegetarian recipes.


You can find the Black Bean Burger recipe here. Seriously, this stuff is good.

And do you want to meet my new boyfriend? You see that salad in the pic. Yup, that's him. You can find that recipe here. That chickpea salad is AWESOME.

Which brings me to a question that I have: how in the heck do you prepare chickpeas? I know you open the can and rinse them out, but are you supposed to peel them before tossing them in the salad or leave the peels on and eat 'em? I peeled the entire can of chickpeas before making the salad and it was very time consuming. So, it really makes me wonder if I'm doing it right.

Sorry for the denseness, guys.

Why is it the smallest things that tear us down?

The party continues!!

Just kidding. I'm tired of wallowing in my self-pity. I just need to suck it up and take it like a man. I will not see results until I actually start doing something!

After yesterday's frightful eating, I knew the scale would not be happy with me. I was up 1.2 pounds for the week. But, oh no, I will not cry about it. Remember, I will not see results until I actually start doing something!

And I did get a workout in yesterday. 30 minutes of HIIT on the elliptical machine. I sweated buckets so a good workout it was, indeed.

Did you notice a new section over there -------->? Well, one of my big problems is I go through the drive-thru way too much. I also stop at the gas station or Kroger for little snacks and drinks that I really don't need. I tried not carrying money with me but that didn't work too much. So, I think I'm going to try the "shame on me" method. I'm pretty embarrassed at all the money I spend on junk food. But that's not enough to stop me. So maybe, if the entire blogging world saw how much I spent, I'd be a little less inclined to spend it. Catch my drift? This method may be totally useless but it's worth giving a shot.

My jeans were tight this morning, so I'm open to trying anything that will help me.

Enjoy your weekend. The weather will be supernice here, so I know I will!

And she'll never know your story like I do

Woe is me.

Seriously, woe is me.


Have you ever had a 2.5 pound weight fall on your foot?

Believe you me, it hurts hella bad.


But that's not the reason for the woe.

It's been two days since I last worked out.

Tuesday, I got a new present in the mail and I have been waiting all of my life for it, so I played with it some (in case, you're wondering, the present was a Cricut Expression...Tuesday was the happiest day of my life!). Wednesday, the boyfriend has been sick and is in full blown babymewoeisme mode. So, instead of working out, we cuddled in bed watching the lamest movie ever made!! The movie was so bad it was funny, so a good time was had by all.

Now I feel like caca.

Sorry about the visual...by the way, have you guys ever googled POOP? People are so gross!

And I've been stuffing my face with caca, so I'm sure you get the picture on how I am really feeling.


Tomorrow is my weigh in day, so make sure you guys have your dancing shoes on because the pity party will probably continue on 'til then!!

She like a song played again and again

I know it's late, but some V-Day treats that I made. Those cookies are death to your waistline!!

Monday workout - 30 min. HIIT on the elli

Phew! I seriously needed those 30 minutes. They were tough. My thighs were on fire and I was a hurtin', but I did the full 30 minutes. I kept wanting to give up after 15 minutes, then 20 minutes, until finally the 30 minutes was up. I'm so glad I didn't give up. I would have felt like a failure afterwards. And I never would have heard the end of it from the boyfriend. =)

My eating was really bad yesterday. I finished off the last of some Valentine's Day cookies that I had baked. They were super yum, but super bad for you. And way sweet. There is one cookie left in the break room, but I will not, I say I will not eat it. I have my snacks and meals all planned out, so today should be a doozy. Besides, I'm seriously tired of the gross feeling in my tummy. You know that feeling...the bloated, stuffed, food baby feeling. Trust me, it's not pretty.

Have a great day everybody!

When you gonna give me some time, Sharona?

I'm in a bad mood.

I think it's all this crap I've been eating.

Plus, no workouts.

That makes for a grumpy me.

I didn't get a workout in Friday - Sunday. On Saturday, the boyfriend and I took a train downtown to catch a football match and there was lots of walking involved. Seriously. My entire body was sore Sunday morning. But, according to my boyfriend, that is not an official workout. So last week, I only worked out 3 days. Yeesh. That's been one of my worst weeks.

But I must workout today. My body is seriously craving it. I guess that's what happens when you make it a regular part of your day. Plus, I could use the extra dose of endorphins. Bad moods just kill me.

I'm off to read blogs. They always cheer me up.
