Kicking Weightloss Ass.

So I'm not going to lie, I was craving grease this morning! I was extra hungry for some reason today.... and my coworker was eating a big greasy breakfast (you know the bacon, eggs, toast, homefries, ketchup, the works kind of thing). It smelled so delicious! But as my title says.... I am kicking weightloss ass. Nothing can stop me now. I am so beyond motivated. Brian, Val & I all worked out together tonight. Brian did some punches, kicks, and the bike, Val did the eliptical, while I did the treadmill. I'm pretty proud of myself. I definitely went above and beyond what I am usually capable of. First of all, I was on there for a full 40 mins. And I did 12 mins running (level 5), 4 mins walking (level 3.6), 10 mins running, 4 mins walking, 7 mins running, 3 mins walking. So I ran 29 and walked 11. Wowzas. I was in pain....I pushed through it.....it feels....fantastic! So I told Val that next week, if I do the same intensity, fine, but do not allow me to do less because I've already proved I can do at least what I did today. No more of this, "I'm tired...it hurts too much...." Suck it up and push through it. If you want something bad enough you will work as hard as you can for it. If you give a half assed effort, you will get half assed results.

On another note - I bought Caltrate calcium chews with vitamin D in them today. They were on sale and apparently vitamin D helps the winter blahs a bit naturally so I figured, sign me up! And I probably don't get enough calcium in the run of the day. Plus, they taste delicious and are only 20 calories for the 2 so it's an extra treat each day!

Meals for today:

Breakfast- healthy muffin (made by mom - it's a "muffin top" made with red river cereal, blueberries, craisins and very little sugar. Approx: 120 calories), Banana

Snack- Apple

Lunch- 12 pita crisps, 2 tbsp. low fat artichoke and asiago dip, Kiwi, Chocolate granola bar, Diet coke

Snack- Starbucks venti (large) skinny caramel latte (160 calories)

Dinner- 2 slices weight watchers bread, 2 oz. turkey, 1 tbsp. light mayo, 1 cup of spinach salad, 1 tbsp. balsamic fig vinagrette dressing, 2 caltrate calcium chews in strawberry flavor (20 calories for 2)

Snack- 4 tomato and basil triscut crackers

Workout- 40 mins on treadmill, 5 mins stretching

Oh and I'll obviously be working out again tomorrow because you know there's a 6 pack of beer in the fridge with my name on it for New Years Eve partying ;)
