I slept through my alarm this morning! So I didn't go to the gym again. :( Dang it! But once the kid went down for naps, I did 45 minutes of Tae bo! Man that was intense! It felt good though. I've decided that I don't push myself hard enough and I just do the basics, so I'm pushing myself and working as hard as I can.
I ate 2300 calories today, most of which was good. I did have some cookie dough after my work out but I thought I deserved it. :)

Didn't get up and go to the gym today. Baxter was up again a lot, so I was just too tired. I did do 10 minutes of kickboxing though. Not much but I wasn't in the mood.
Don't remember what I ate. A bit of a rough day, but then got to go shopping with my mom and sister.

Did the "hills" setting on the tredmill today for 25 min. Our shower is broken so I had to cut my work out short so I could shower at the gym before I left.
Had a bad for eating though, I seem to have fallen back in to bad habits again already. So from now on I'm writing down what I eat again. I ate a bowl of candied popcorn and it made me sick, so I need to lay of the sweets.
Shane started school today, so it may be hard at nights when I'm alone after the kids have gone to bed, to not snack so much.

Only made it about 10 min on the eliptical today before my legs gave out on me, so I moved on to the bike, which only lasted 5 min. I felt like such a loser when I left the gym after only 20 min and not much accomplished. But I did go and I did get 15 min of excersize in, that's something.
Did pretty well most of the day with food, until tonight. I got to go out with two of Shane's sisters for dinner. We went to Mimi's cafe in Salt Lake and it was SO good! I got a turkey pesto ciabata with fries and coleslaw. I ate have the sandwich and the coleslaw before I was full. But then I ordered dessert, molten chocolate cake, it was yummy. I mean a person can't go through life never having dessert so I splurged. :) It was a fun night and I enjoyed the company very much. Our drive home was a little scary with all the snow but I have a great husband that took it slow and we all made it home in one peice.

This morning I rode a bike at the gym. I went 8.5 miles in about 24 minutes. I was very happy because I never slowed down I kept a steady pace at a level 9. It really helped me to have a book with me because I got caught up in it and didn't really pay attention to how much my legs were hurting. Though at the end I was feeling it. :)
I didn't eat as well as I'd hoped today, but I did turn down fast food twice! It wasn't fun to just sit with my family in Carl's Jr and watch them eat but it's what I needed to do and I felt proud of that decision.
A little discouraged that I'm not seeing a whole lot of results, but I know that it's going to take time. I can feel the muscles in my arm growing though and that excites me!

Again Baxter didn't sleep well so I couldn't pull myself out of bed. I ate a little better all day, and for dinner made a pasta salad that Shane loves. Just veggie pasta with all kinds of veggies in it and then some Italian dressing. It's so yummy, and I figure that it can't be too bad with all of the veggies in there. I was able to go work out later and did 3 circuts of 10 reps each again. I can already feel my arm muscles starting to define, and I am SO excited! I've always wanted "sexy" toned arms and now I'm doing it!
Forgot to read my scriptures tonight, but did read a bit of 3 Nephi with the hubby.

This was a bad day. Baxter didn't sleep well so I didn't sleep well so I didn't go work out. Then I didn't eat very well all day. But I did discover that I was not eating enough calories. For some reason I had it in my head that I needed 1500-1600 calories to lose weight. Well I calculated it (about 4 times just to make sure) and I really need about 2400 calories a day! Wow, no wonder I was hungry all the time!!
