The Gym and Dinner at a Friend's Place

Today at the gym:

30 mins weights:
-squats
-romanian deadlift
-preacher curl
-tricep dips
-shoulder press
-lat pulldown

1 hour cardio:
30 min stairstepper aka suicide (this machine makes me feel like I am killing myself, why is it that the machines that are the best feel the worst?)
30 mins crosstrainer

Good workout! Worked up a sweat and felt great after.

Yesterday was another story, every Saturday I go to eat breakfast with my mom. I now ask for fruits instead of potatoes on the side (an extra 1.50$, but it is so worth it). I had an omelet with cheese, basil and red pepper.

Everything was fine until I went to a co-worker's house to eat dinner. I knew that we were having homemade pizza and I had told myself in advance that I would have one slice. Of course the pizza was so delicious I ended up having three! They had cheese, ground meat, mushrooms and green peppers on them. I said no to the wine and stuck to water to drink. For dessert there was peanut butter cookies, I thought that I could get away with one but I had three. When I was finished felt awful, but I can't get down on myself, what's done is done and cannot be undone. I just need to realize that because something taste good I do not need to eat everything.

We are having a bakesale at work to raise money for the Haiti Earthquake on Wed. I really need to control myself and only buy 1 thing.ONE THING! I will let you know if I stay true to this (But I swear I will!)

Have a great day and a great week!

Uggggghhhhh!

Eating Well....Check
Exercising regularly...Check
Drinking Lots of Water...Check
Period...Check?

Uggghhh, everything was going so well and then Mother Nature's "gift" arrives. Why do they call it a gift? A gift is a piece of jewelry or a gift certificate. "That" is NOT a gift! I hate how when you have your period you feel like crap and most importantly your weight goes up (2 lbs to be exact).

I need to breath and relax and NOT let this get to me.

On a more positive note; I love the gym, I know that there are so many people that hate it but I honestly really like working out. I love lifting weight, I feel so strong and I really do see improvements in my strength, I am sure that when these layers of fat are gone, I will expose a fit, toned body. Today I went to Zumba and I did a weight training class. Is it bad that people at the gym make comments like, "Oh you are here often..." What do I say to that? Ya, I am here! So are you if you see me here often!!! Tomorrow is step and spinning, woot woot!
