Checking in! Here’s a pic from my friend’s wedding yesterday.
I’m feeling good this week, you guys
I was able to meal prep on Sunday.. I’ve been tracking my food with myfitnesspal, and I feel really good. I walked yesterday for about 40 minutes with one of my friends.. but I haven’t had time for a good gym sesh. I feel like either my eating is on point, or my workouts are on point... never both at the same time lol.
Got some pretty bad news today
I didn’t get into the masters in teaching program I was planning on starting next month. I’m so far behind on my career and my life in general that this is just so depressing to me. I cried all day and have no idea where to go from here. They took so long to let me know whether or not I got in, that it’s too late now to apply for any other programs that start this summer. My biggest regret in life is not picking a major in college that would actually get me a job.. and now I’m in a constant struggle to start a career that I love.. teaching.
So naturally, I ate my feelings with some little caesar’s pizza. sigh.
I had a great workout yesterday
I didn’t get a chance to post about it, so here it is, a day late lol.
I was off yesterday from work for Good Friday, so I went to the gym early and it was EMPTY. I really dislike going to my gym on a normal day because it’s so crowded and gets so hot in there. Yesterday was an exception. It was such a peaceful workout, and I was able to get a lot done. I did cardio for 20 minutes.. then I was actually able to go do squats with the bar!! Those areas are always packed during the week, so it was nice to be able to use them for once. Can I just say, my butt feels AMAZING today haha. Anyway, I did lots of good dumbbell exercises for my upper body, too. I’m loving the soreness right now :)
I’ve had a bad few days, eating-wise.
I just can’t seem to stop snacking at work. I’ll pack a lunch and a healthy snack or two... but then there ALWAYS seems to be some other snack around that I can’t resist. Today it was chips, yesterday it was goldfish, Monday was cheetos. I guess working at a school, we have lots of opportunities to snack with the kids, but I just wish I could say no. The problem is, even with the food I pack for lunch, I’m still hungry at work. If there’s no food around, I can just suck it up until I get home. I can definitely feel the difference, too.. I feel tired and crappy. I’m going to have some days off for Spring break next week.. I’m looking forward to having a lot of time to work out lol.
I don't know why I insist on painting my nails right before I'm about to go to bed... clearly I'm unable to get anything bed related accomplished while my nails are wet lol. Now, I sit here and wait...
Going back to the basics
When I first started losing weight, the only way I was able to keep myself in check was to count my calories using myfitnesspal. I measured all of my food and really stuck to it. After a while, I started being able to eyeball things and guesstimate what I was eating.. and I still was maintaining my weight.
Now, however, I don’t count my calories at all... and I think it’s time to go back. I don’t think it’s healthy to obsess over calories, but I think that I’ve gone too long not caring about the numbers, that I think I need those numbers to get me back on track.
I hope I have the will power to stick with it.
I'm spending the weekend in Atlantic City with the boyfriend
Sorry if I don't get to post much. I'm in serious need of some Mike time lol. Hope everyone has a nice weekend :)
