Will work out late morning. Will get 4 waters in today.

Only got upper body in this morning b/c I didn't eat breakfast so I got nauseous and couldn't do cardio. Will go on Sunday to make up for it. Eric almost got me to cave and go to Culver's for dinner, but I gave him a guilt trip so he drove by and back home.

Will be having dinner out tonight again, but for a little extra motivation I weighed myself this morning and have lost another pound, so I DON'T want to put that back on before Sunday! Woohoo!

EATING OUT VOW TO SELF
Tonight will be hard. I'm planning on getting chicken fajita and eating 2 made up tacos. I will not ask for extra sour cream, bean dip or cheese dip. I will only eat 8 chips w/ salsa.

Ordered what I had planned on, but decided to not eat the tortillas in order to eat some rice and beans. Can't believe I only had 8 chips though. I felt fine about it. Feel pretty good about eating out. Also did not eat ANY sour cream, but ate some guac. Little disappointed I only got 3 waters in.

Did not sleep well last night and needed a pick-me-up this morning.

Had a whole bunch of chips on my plate for lunch and didn't eat a single one. Don't imagine they used light mayo w/ the chicken salad, but it's still better than a burger or something fried.

Can you believe I got 5 waters in? Wow! That's a record. Had a really good lower body workout, too. I thought I needed to adjust my weights (and a few I do), but I'm working on doing the reps slower now so I'm feeling more of a burn and feeling it working. Tried to do squats last night, too, but I'm too short for the machine and the bar really bothered my neck. Bummer. I don't mind lunges that much anymore though so its not a huge deal.

Not the best breakfast, BUT we had to take Godiva to the vet this morning so I didn't have time to eat at home. I realized after I got to work that I could have grabbed a Low Carb Bagel Snack Bar. Darn!

My Lower half is really sore today from the BFL cardio I did yesterday. I love that feeling though! I'm so excited that I completed it and I'm actually excited about the next time I do it. Doing a good cardio makes me feel like I'm really getting a good total body workout. I was even sweating! Yeah that tells you how my cardio was going before now...

After we went to see Godiva Eric decided to pull into Pizza Hut unbeknownst to me. My first instinct was "No, there is nothing for me to eat but salad". However he talked me into it. I had only planned on eating 2 slices of pizza, but they brought out my most favorite kind after I had already eaten 2 yucky slices (1 w/ just Black Olives, 1 w/ Sausuage I picked off). O'well. That's life and I'm not going to be hard on myself. I have to have pizza every once in a while.

AWESOME 20 Min. BFL Cardio Workout - Haven't had that good of cardio session EVER! It was rough, but I made it through it and completed it fully.

Comments:
The challenge today will be getting cardio in. It's always super busy on Tuesdays and we skip it a lot of the time. I'm going to try hard to get it in tonight.

Trying to get 3 waters in today at work. It seems like when I only bring 2 I run out, but when I bring 3 I don't always get it all finished. My goal today at work:
- 1 down before lunch - Done
- 1 down during lunch - Done
- 1 down this afternoon by 5 - Done
I may be floating home... :) Yay! I accomplished that. Hopefully I can keep it up now.

I think I'm back in the swing of things again. We'll see how tired I am tonight when I have to work all day (no naps) and work out in the evening. Still feeling tired, but my cold is gradually getting better every day.

Not surprised I only lost 1/2 pound this week. Only have about 2 weeks to lose the other 5.5 pounds to accomplish my March 1 goal. I'm going to really have to work hard to get there.

Had an impulse to go to Starbucks this morning, but decided against it and had oatmeal instead. Good thing I update my blog at home first thing in the morning.

So as you can see when I'm getting hungry or food crosses my brain, I've been eating 2 Saltines. This seems to be working so far. Is this bad? I personally don't think so, but I'm just curoius on your thoughts...

I'm feeling pretty good today actually. I'm not too tired and so far am still psyched about working out tonight. Not feeling overly exhausted either.

Ended up that Eric did some trading for dinner last night so we went to Don Pablo's. Who can pass up a free meal? Seriously! Didn't eat the greatest, but it was Valentine's day.

Almost didn't work out b/c Eric's leg was bothering him and he had to go out to a promotion, but bit the bullet and did it anyway. Was glad we did! Had a pretty good workout, but I think this weekend or next weekend I'm going to look at changing up my routine a bit.

I lost a 1/2 pound, but I'm sure it was b/c I was sick and didn't really have an appetite. I didn't eat the greatest of what I did eat this past week and I only exercised one day.

Not getting enough water on the weekends.
