Day 4: I love food!

I started out the day by trying Greek yogurt for the first time! Yumm!!

And...I once again found myself at Chipotle. Deja vu? I think so. (half for lunch/half for dinner)

Some of the other things I snacked on today were: edamame & popcorn

I also went to the gym today and whoa was it HOT!! The A/C was out...talk about a hot gym! I don't think I had ever sweat that much! I did my normal workout and by the end it looked as though I had just jumped into a pool!! I sure hope that they have the A/C fixed by tomorrow afternoon! I burned approx 500 calories. Woo!

Day 2: Super Productive Day!

After falling off the wagon for a month of so, I have really done very well this week! Today I went to Whole Foods and went on a shopping spree. Bought tons of yummy foods to cook this week! 

After shopping, I then went to the gym and got in a great workout! My workout consisted of:

Elliptical: 30 minutes (350 calories burned)

Strength: weights for 20 minutes

Stretching: 10 minutes

I felt sooo great after today's workout! I can't wait to go back tomorrow! 

If I can keep this up then I know for a fact that I will easily stay on track and reach my goals!! I just need to keep finding the motivation.

What is it that motivates you to workout or to stay healthy? 

Day 1: I Am Back!!

This summer has been completely crazy! It is nice to finally have time to get back to blogging! 

Due to the busy summer I haven't had the time to stay focused on my goals and I did not go to the gym for almost a month. But now that I have moved home, I am back to going to the gym! 

This past week has been tough getting back into it, but I have gone everyday and I feel great! Now I just need to keep it up!! 

I hope you all have been doing great! 

Favorite Sweet Treat!

Oh how I love frozen yogurt! Yumm!!

Favorite Workouts

I am looking to change things up for my daily workouts. I have no idea what I want to do to make them different. Currently I start out on the treadmill for about 30-45 minutes. Somedays I just do brisk walking on a high incline and other days I do a mix of walking/running. I then go into one of the weight rooms and do either upper or lower body and some core exercises for about 25 minutes. To wrap things up I love to stretch, I stretch for about 10-15 minutes. 

I am curious...What do your workouts consist of? What is your favorite thing about your workout routine? 

I'd love any and all feedback!! :) 

I Have Been Horrible!

I have been really really bad at blogging lately! I am so sorry! I got so caught up in all the graduation hoopla that I have neglected this blog..and also my healthy habits. 

I haven't been to the gym in 5 days! Yikes! I am going today and I sure am going to hate it, but I must do it!! I am very surprised that i have managed to not gain any weight in the past couple weeks due to my bad habits! That is the good news! Bad news is that I have been bad and it is going to be hard to get back on track!! 

My goal for this week is just to get back in the routine of going to the gym every day and eating healthy! It is going to be tough, but I can do it! 

Do any of you have any good tips for helping to get back on track after being bad for a couple weeks? 

No Excuses, right?

Well....I hadn't been to the gym since Friday. Until today. I sure had missed going to the gym!! 

Now here is my list of excuses for why I had not been to the gym...

Saturday- gym doesn't open til 9am and I left town at 8am and didn't get back til late that night.

Sunday- once again...gym doesn't open til 9am (stupid weekend hours), and I went to church at 10am and then had to be at the library from 12 til 5pm to meet with my group for our presentation. 

Monday- woke up at 6am to be at the doctor by 8am. Had blood drawn and ended up passing out and I felt like complete poo all day. Also had class and work til 7pm. 

Tuesday- had my big presentation in front of 200 people and class all day til 7pm. 

At this point....I was exhausted. The lack of sleep, lots of homework, and feeling sick didn't help at all.

So finally this morning I was back in my routine and at the gym! It felt great!! I sure have missed it the past few days!! 

Today's workout:

1 hour of cardio on the treadmill

Breakfast:

Luna Bar: 3pts

Lunch:

Caesar salad: 4pts

Saturday Weigh-In!

Just weighed myself and I am super happy! 

I lost 1.6 pounds this week!! Yayy!

I have now lost a total of 20 pounds even! 

I couldn't be happier! 

Well I am headed down to Gainesville for the day! 

Have a fabulous weekend! :)
