I NEED a trip to the gym!

Well, instead of sitting around eating junk all day, I really need to be hitting the gym. That seems an impossible request lately and I am lucky I still have my shower to do crazy calves in. :) I did 1/2 of a crazy calf workout and I felt nothing the next day. So much for being a slacker. I really gotta get more motivated to change my eating and workout habits. Of course, then I gotta find someone to watch my baby girl for me so I can actually go workout. Maybe come October I'll be able to get back into the swing of things. Unless anyone wants to come watch her today.........

Oh no, Poptarts...

Why did I let myself eat that Poptart for breakfast. I guess because I just couldn't see throwing away two perfectly good brown sugar & cinnamon Poptarts that my hubby left sitting on the counter when my daughter did not eat them last night. (wow, that was a long sentence!) Good news is, I only ate one! Of course, I did eat a couple of pieces of chocolate a few minutes ago so I don't know why I am fretting over the Poptart. Well, I'm off to pizza for lunch???? LOL

Sore calves!

I love those crazy calves!!! They get my legs every time. I've been in a little pain today walking around, but nothing unbearable. You know the saying, "no pain, no gain!" It's true.

I had a second workout last night. Miraculously enough, my old workout partner texted me yesterday wanting to workout. So, we met up and did legs last night. We were supposed to do shoulders today, but it is not looking too good for that. I haven't heard from him yet and it is almost 7:00. No big deal since I did shoulders yesterday. I would do them again though if it meant getting to workout with someone.

I did a little cardio this morning. My Ipod was dead when I started to head out for my walk, so I I cancelled my original walking plans and opted for walking around a little patio at the hospital and up 6 flights of stairs twice. Then I walked the halls until I saw the Dr. getting ready to head in our room. Overall, it was about 30 minutes or so. It was better than nothing and I'm happy I did it.

Now if I can just stay away from the sugar cookies calling my name. I've already eaten about half of one. The other half is staring me down. I will probably cave. Man, where is my willpower?? Must be the fact that my hubby said my butt was looking good today shutting it down. All those cookies I've been eating sure haven't hurt it. Wish I could say the same for my legs....

It's been a while

I haven't really been hitting the gym too much over the past few months. I figured it would be that way though. Now I am lucky if I get to go to the gym once or twice a week. This morning I had a decent shoulder workout. Nothing too special because I didn't have much time. I also added in a few biceps and one chest exercise since I am on a workout budget. :) Then I did my shower version of "crazy calves" just a few minutes ago.

It feels good to go to the gym and I hope I am able to start going more, but it all depends. I think my workout partner who bailed on me 6 months ago is going to start back. I won't hold my breath though. If I did that, I'd already be dead. :)

Cardio is definitely lacking too. I am lucky to do it once every other week. Yikes!

The back of my legs are really hating me right now, but my lips sure are loving the cookies. I think I may be on my way back towards some sort of control in the eating department. But, only if occasional cookie splurges are allowed. I just can't eat them EVERY DAY like I have been for the past month or two. Oh the pleasure I can get from butter, flour and chocolate!!!

One month out

It is one month out from the competition I would've been in. I am in no where as good of shape as I was 2 months ago. I have fallen victim to my endless food cravings, but such is life. I have still been trying to hit the gym at least a few times a week, but it is hard. I've got to keep up my weight training so next year I just need to peel the fat off the top leaving my lean & supple muscles. LOL. Anyways, I'm off to eat a probably unhealthy meal. Unless we go for sushi....

Gym later. :)

My boobs are back!!!

Well it didn't take long to get them back. Just a lot of cookies and other carb filled treats and now I am plumping up all over. I am especially glad to have my boobs coming back. They were sorely missed, at least by me, and I am glad to see they have returned. I have not been hitting the weights as much as I'd like lately, but maybe I'll get back into soon. I am trying to do a little cardio every morning, but that only paves the way for me to eat loads of junk afterwards. Hmmm. Something about that doesn't seem right.

Surprise, surprise

Yesterday I made it to the gym to work out with some friends. And boy did it feel good!!!! I am sore today. :) Also good!

I weighed myself yesterday and was surprised to see I am still below my start weight. I guess all these cookies and cupcakes haven't officially turned into thigh fat yet. LOL I am still hovering right above 130. So, I am going to try to eat more sensibly, but the more I think about it, the more junk I put into my mouth. Let's see. So far today I have had a pop-tart, a cupcake, some baked Cheetos, a pb&j sandwich, a chocolate chip cookie (or was it two), and two different cheese snacks (mozzarella and cheddar). Oh yeah, and a miniature Hershey bar.

Yep, I've been eating like crap. At least I am drinking healthy though. So far just water and green tea. :)

I was supposed to go to the gym this morning, but someone didn't want me to go so here I am sitting on my butt trying not to eat. I did get about 30 minutes of cardio (walking) in this morning while my daughter was having her treatment. So, that is better than nothing. Maybe tomorrow I will get to go do legs with my buddies. That would be awesome!!! I've got to keep building up my muscle just in case I decide to compete next year. I don't want to lose what I have and I really enjoy building them up. So, I'll still be pumping it out at the gym when I can even if it isn't 6 or 7 days a week like before. I may be losing my mind, but I surely don't want to lose my body too!!!!
