This past week has been nuts. It seems like the busier I get the harder it is to make my way to the gym everyday. Today's post will be short but hopefully I will find time this week to write more, I have so much to do and so little time!
This week I went home to celebrate my Mom's birthday, so I went back to Tallahassee this weekend to be with her. It was fun! Me and my dad put money together to by her a new fossil purse for her from Dillards; I was a bit jealous. It was originally about $230.00 and we got it for $64.00, don't you love those new year blowout sales! But it was nice to see her and be with my family since I won't be able to be with them for the next few weeks.
This week I only missed one day at the gym, and that was Saturday. So far I have been doing at least 30 minutes of cardio at the gym everyday, even as late as 9 at night because I have been so pressed for time. But the good news is, I am back in the 180s! I now weigh 188 pounds, which is 7 pounds less than what I started at. It is so encouraging to know that my effort is paying off.
Even though the pounds have continued to fall off, I have found it increasingly hard not to slip into my old eating habits. And it isn't necessarily the foods I eat (even though I have treated myself a few more times than I should have), but it is the amount I let myself eat. I could eat so much salad at one sitting, but eventually the amount of nutrition that I get from the vegetables in the salad is canceled out by the fat in the dressings that I am putting on it. But I know this week will be a new week and I will just have to start trying a little bit harder.
This morning when I stepped out of my bed, I landed right on the metal end of my soft tape measure my mom gave me to keep track of the inches I am losing, and I cut my foot. The cut is about the size of a grain of rice, but it was deep and bled really bad when it happened. It was right in the middle of my foot too and my foot has hurt all day and I have been walking of the side of it since this morning, it stings! I feel like a little kid complaining about a paper cut, but I kid you not, it hurts sooooooo bad. I'm thinking that just because today is so busy and I have so much studying I have to do as well as a meeting to go to tonight, today I won't go. But that just means that I can't miss a day this week, so starting tomorrow I will be in the gym everyday until next Tuesday.
Another thing I also noticed with eating healthier is that my fingernails are so much stronger than they used to be. They used to break so easy but now I can grow them long and have them look good! And the jeans I bought three weeks a go are now getting looser, I can't wear them without a belt, so hopefully I will be out of these jeans and into some new ones soon!
That's all for this week! See you Tuesday!
