Week 2: Day 2

Good morning!

Today is a beautiful day. I was actually able to wake up at 8am, and finish my paper by 11am.

I drove to class with my brother. In class today: apple and seeds and almonds.

Ended up hanging out with some new friends some class tonight! Had a blast, with a homecooked Mexican meal.

Snack: apple

Dinner: wrap with chicken and veggies, hummus and carrots and a few triscuit crackers, and tostitoes with beef and veggies. Shoutout to Christina!!!:)

Now free coffee from McDonald's :) small with 1 sweetener.

Now to go inside and chill after a long day, but it was productive and fun!!!

I watched biggest loser and had a light wrap, with veggies and chicken.

That's all for now, BROWN COW!!!

 

Week 2: Day 1

Okay... I woke up this morning, and suffice it to say I'll be "sick" for the next 5-7 days. So I am taking it easy today.

This morning for breakfast: smoothie (banana, strawberry, pineapple, almonds), coffee (4 cups worth) and 2 eggs.

I am really looking forward to the day when I have less throat/neck fat!Here is an awesome link: http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Neck-Fat It is very encouraging.

I really miss Goodlife. 2 days of not being there, I really can't wait to go back.

Here is a funny article from Buzzfeed: http://www.buzzfeed.com/adamellis/types-of-people-you-find-in-every-gym It is all about the kind of people you find in the gym... so true!

For lunch: wrap (spinach, avocado, 3 slices of turkey meat, roasted red pepper hummus, the last of my feta cheese, some red onion and green pepper, and lime/chipotle dressing) and chicken noodle soup (low sodium, low calories).

I did a bit of cleaning today as a distraction... Being happy and healthy can be undertaken in multiple ways!

I have also come up with some other ways to use my time effectively: doing leg raises in my bed, or crunches in my bed. Doing squats while I watch a tv show. Playing music/listening to music/writing music and songs. Planning and organizing my day.

Thank you to my friend Caitlin for reminding me the importance of getting cardio in every day!!! You are an inspiration to me little fackle :)

Thumbs up for kicking some serious ass!

Where we were, we will never be again. Where we are going, folks? The future is ours to decide.

Tonight I have class 5-8pm... MONDAYS KILLIN ME SMALLS.

I will bring apple slices, sunflower seeds, and almonds with me, as well as my water bottle.

When I get home, I will head to the gym for 45 minutes of treadmill, bike, and elliptical.
