Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels...

A'ight.

So I've worked out every day since Monday, although I haven't today yet, but the plan is to do it in the afternoon. Also, I've been sticking to my diet pretty well with the exception of yesterday. I could name off excuses like "it was my friend's birthday so I had cake" which is true, but I could have said no and resisted the sweet funfetti temptation buuuuttttt I didn't. Bummer. It was good tho! But super bummer. Oh well, start new today.

Another fun fact, Jillian Michael's is kicking my ass. Hopefully gonna work out today :)

Been up since 4:30am - just another day at work...woo...haha

Intake so far:

• Breakfast: shake with almond milk and frozen mixed berries 
• Snack: Personal pizza
• Lunch: Cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard, dorritos, and a chocolate chip cookie & a diet coke - caffine is definitely my friend today
• Been drinking lots of water tho, wooo

Ugh conferences are so freaking hard to stick to my idea diet with the insane hours and exhausting lifestyle that it has me lead. 

Okay enough bitching and moaning, I'm going back to watching Man vs. Food.

Pants at a time like this?!

Currently watching The Hangover with Tay :)

Today, I got my test back and got an 84%. Not too bad for studying a few hours before so I'll take it.

Today's intake

• breakfast: shake with vitamin water because i couldn't get milk
• lunch: chicken caesar salad from the pub
• snack: apple
• dinner: shake with skim milk and blackberries

Exercise:

• day 2 of the 30 Day Shred

Whew, I'm sore!

Day 2

What upppppp?? :) Got my test from last week back today and got a 96%! That makes 96%'s on both tests so far. I took test 3 earlier today and I think I did pretty well.

Just finished day one of Jillian Michael's 30 day shred!

Post workout, don't mind the face haha

My buns are going to hurt tomorrow, goodness. Haha life is good today.

Daily food intake so far:

• Breakfast: shake with skim milk banana flavoring and frozen strawberries 
• Snack: yogurt with blackberries and granola from Jazzman's
• lots of water, duh

I'm gonna go drink some water and have another shake. Wonder what I'll have for dinner tonight? Probs Sandella's and then watch Pretty Little Liars with Nicki and Taylor.

Update more later. 

Peace and blessings <3

Day One

What up party people :)

Went to bed at 9:30 last night and didn't wake up til my alarm at 9am this morning - needless to say, I needed sleep haha. Definitely restful, and when I got out of bed I forgot how legs worked.

Today marks the first day back on the Vi Life. Today's meals included:

• Breakfast: shake with orange juice
• Lunch: from the Pub- grilled cheese, little bit of tomato soup, waffle fries and a bit of brownie for dessert
• Snack: shake (one scoop with fruit)
• Dinner: Sandella's chicken and sun dried tomato panini and sun chips

I would have followed the diet stricter but I was feeling light headed and needed more than a shake for dinner otherwise I wouldn't have made it through the rest of the day.

In other news, it was and still is super nice here today. It was sunny, windy, and just down right beautiful for a Steubenville summer day. It's currently 72 degrees and windy, actually a little chilly in the shade but I'll take it over the scorching heat any day. 

I'm also going to be posting some inspirational fitness pictures and such at some point soon.

Peace and blessings :) 

Up before the sun; what is sleep?

So I'm writing from the lobby of St. Tommy More hall at an ungodly hour of 5am on the last day of the high school 2 conference. My entire body aches, probably because I only got 3.5 hours of sleep last night. Not to mention there is no mattress pad on my bed here like the one in Bonaventure. Oh my lanta, I cannot wait for the teens and chaperones to leave. Because when they leave, that means I get to not work for a while which means one thing to me: SLEEP. The very thing that I miss so dearly and cannot wait to have back in my life. 


Okay, well hopefully today everything goes smooth as buttah so I can get back to my bed and maybe a regular sleeping pattern for a few days before high school 3.

Rant about sleep over.

So diet and food wise, yesterday was a shitshow. I definitely had basically everything you're never supposed to have ever, esp when you're wanting to lose weight. 

McDonalds

Chick Fil A

Zebra Cakes

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. My stomach wants to die right now. I keep apologizing to it, but it hasn't accepted the apology.   :( 

Today is a new day. I will eat better today. Diet starts again tomorrow. I'd start today but I feel so sick and literally cannot think right now (maybe because it's 5am) and I'm absolutely exhausted and can't think about tracking food. 

Do or Do Not, There is No Try - Yoda

Okay guys, here we go :)

I have a friend that started the ViSalus 90 day challenge and he's done SO well! I saw the progress he's made and I was like "oh man I gotta try this". So I went ahead and bought the product and decided that I'm going to give this a try.

Day 1 of challenge - 6/9

• Friday, 6/9/12
• 211 pds
• I don't remember the measurements right now but I'll post them at some point

I was going strong for about a week until I started my job. I'm currently at school for the summer taking classes and working for the Youth Conferences that are on campus. With this job I work around 40 hours a weekend and sometimes during the week. Where this is insane and I miss my bed dearly, I absolutely love what I do. And then there's class. So that being said, I got off track from my diet. Since I haven't been drinking my shakes, I've been eating what they give us for food, I think they try and keep it balanced but let's be honest, the Sodexo food doesn't hold water (My Cousin Vinny joke for those of you that have seen the movie) and it's mass produced so who really knows what's going in my body. I don't and I really don't wanna know.

Anyways, I haven't been following my diet for a week now and honestly I feel horrible. Not like emotionally, although I am bummed, but more like my body hates me for what I've been feeding it.

Since my setback, I decided to start new either tomorrow or Monday.
New week, new goal.


That being said, I'm asking for support from whoever reads this. It's going to be a long road but I know I can do it. I'm so tired of being ashamed and uncomfortable with myself and I've decided that I want to be healthy and get my confidence back and be the best I can be, physical appearance included.
