I graduated!!! Hooray!!! No more schoolwork, no more internship, no more reading, no more papers to write. I've actually read some books FOR FUN, and I'm quickly learning how to relax again. Although I will admit that the first few weeknights and weekends were a little weird.
Greg and I went on a nice little 4 day cruise to Mexico over Christmas. It was great to get away and reconnect, although I pretty much threw my entire "diet" out the window and was crazy gluttonous and indulgent - mmmmmm… molten chocolate cake. I did work out a few times and made sure to take the stairs all over the cruise ship. But I ended up getting a terrible cold on the ship, which turned into an even more terrible sinus infection once we were home, and that also impacted my momentum.
As far as my weight-loss journey is concerned, well, I've somewhat fallen out of routine a bit. Don't get me wrong, I'm still waking my pretty little ass up at 5/5:15 every morning to go to bootcamp and I'm still lovin' it!!! (Thank God for that!!!) But when it comes to tracking my food, well, I've sucked at it BIG TIME!!! Ever since the battery on my heart rate monitor went out on me, I've been terrible at tracking my foods mainly because I'm not tracking my calories burned. I really need to buck up and buy a new battery for that thing, I have no excuse except that I just haven't done it - so pathetic. On the flip-side… I really don't have much variety in my diet so there can't be that much variation on my calorie intake. Here is my typical day:
Breakfast: Jimmy Dean 260 Calorie turkey sausage & egg white sandwich
Mid-morning Snack: Yogurt
Lunch: Turkey sandwich on 45 calorie whole wheat bread with mustard and a side of reduced fat cheez-its
Afternoon snack: Apple and a handful of almonds (if I can find the time to stop and snack)
Dinner: varies… that is the one place where I have some variety in daily food
Ugh, it's so boring every day, but it's all good.
I did have a weigh-in, and although I have been holding steady at (pretty-much) the same weight, I was down from my last weigh-in a month ago. Only a couple of pounds, but it's still a move in the right direction. Stacy has challenged me to go down 5lbs by my next weigh-in in a month and I think I can do it, and it's just the thing I need to jump-start this journey. Goals are awesome!
Shy posted this picture and I decided to steal it, cause it's awesome!!!
