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! :)

Good Thursday Morning!

Just got back from the gym with my 2 friends. Had a great workout! It sure is easier to work harder at the gym when you go with friends! I ended up doing an hour in the treadmill, walking at about 3.6 at an incline of 9 or 10. It was intense, but sure felt great!! 

I think I am truly becoming addicted to going to the gym! I basically plan my day around going! Crazy....never would have imagined I'd be like that! But I love it!

Today is going to be a long day of classes and papers. I hope you all have a great day!

Running

I have started to get into running and I am slowly but surely improving. 

Yesterday my friend and I did 4 miles and today my left hip/butt is KILLING me! (ok...maybe I am being a tad dramatic..but it sure is bothering me!)

I think I have pulled something? If that is possible. But it sure is painful! I don't know what to do...anyone have any tips on making it feel better? 

I did take today off to give it a rest. Maybe tomorrow I will just work on my upper body and core and let it rest another day. 

Switching topics....

I just bought some new workout clothes and I have fallen in love with Old Navy's active wear! 

These are my favorites....

{Old Navy Active Tanks}

{Old Navy Yoga Pants}

What are y'alls favorite place to get workout clothes?

Weigh-In Saturday!!

I am super happy! I weighed in this morning after not have weighed in last Saturday and the results were pleasing!

I lost 4 pounds! Yayy! 

That bring me to a grand total of 18! 

I am beyond happy! 

Today is my cousin's baby shower! It should be a bunch of fun! 

Hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!!

Easter is coming!
