Enough with the depressingness (don't worry, I know that's not a word), I feel like I'm in a turning point and on my way back. Thus, the reason for this page. I feel like if maybe I share what I am up to with other people it will force me to want to make better choices, because, honestly who wants to share their failures?
So here is to more success!!

Today I started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred Workout Video. It's the first time I have ever done a workout video, and I have to say 20 minutes with her video and I was sweating just as much as I would have been on the elliptical for 45 minutes, and I only did Level 1. I feel better about the workout I had today then just doing the elliptical, but at the same time, I know I would have burned more calories on the elliptical. Anyways, I've been done now for over an hour and I can still feel it in my legs when I get up and walk. I'm actually really looking forward to the soreness tomorrow, so I know I did something.
As for the eating today, pretty good, slightly over my 1500 calories. But it is so hard to stop eating Cheetos :) But I made a really good BBQ chicken pizza for dinner, and I'm definitely looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow.

Got my wish...I'm sore today. It's funny though, I wasn't very sore this morning, but as the progressed so did the soreness. I struggled through the video today, but I made it. So let the soreness continue.
As for eating, again just an okay day, not where I would like to be, but the portions were smaller, so baby steps I guess.

Oh man, rough day. I don't even want to talk about it. It has bad choices spilled all over it. But I said I would be honest so here is the long list of bad choices I made today. Donut and hot chocolate for breakfast. McDonalds for lunch, and Chipotle* for dinner...and worst of all NO workout!!!! AAAAHHHH Soooooo Bad. Back at it tomorrow....maybe egg whites for breakfast, start off on the right foot.
*this one is not a regret because Chipotle is amazing)

Alright, so I'm a few days behind, but its not my fault it was a busy weekend. And an unhealthy one, I was back in Mankato, so I had to get all my hometown favorites in, Yu's and a chicken Scwharma, plus I had chicken kiev at a wedding. I did get some exercise in, in the form of racquetball and dancing. So at least it wasn't a complete bust. Back at it tomorrow, eating better and back to the Jillian Michaels workout. Maybe this time I won't be so sore that I have to use the handicap rails in the bathroom in order to sit down. Here's to a healthy week!

Twice this week, need I say more?
I will workout tomorrow, I will workout tomorrow, I will workout tomorrow.
November 5
It's been awhile so here is a quick update, for the month of November I have given up pop, candy and potato chips. Its obviously day 5 and I'm fine on the no pop and potato chips. But I could really go for some chocolate. On top of that, yesterday I took a quick inventory of the food I have around my house, and decided there is enough here to feed me for the next 2 weeks, so with the exception of next weekend I will be staying in. I'm only 24 hours into this challenge and I'm already struggling. Haven't broke yet, but man on man there is a long a list of places I would like to eat some food from. I have to quit here because that picture of the cookie and ice cream up above is killing me. Until next time...
