Leap Day!
Did you know that, “According to an old Irish legend on leap day a woman is allowed to propose to a man instead of the other way around. And get this, if he says no he has to give her money (or buy her a silk dress)!”
I didn’t.
Check it out! (Plus it’s a beautiful flower arrangement from my wonderful friend’s amazing floral design company here in Philadelphia)
Ugh bleh
Ate too much of a turkey hoagie. Now I feel nauseous. This is what happens when you eat in the car between meetings.
Im looking forward to Bootcamp tonight though! (kind of…3 days off is a lot)
"No excuses. Just get up and do it. Stop...
blah blah blah. You can do it if you want to. We all have busy lives. Get out and run.
This is all true—you CAN do it if you want to. Everyone does have busy lives. But it’s not as simple as just throwing away your excuses and getting out there and running—at least not for me. That mantra seems to forget the emotional part of the whole weight loss, exercise experience that...

Some days are better than others
and some weeks are better than others, too. I’m not sure what the correlation is or what makes it an easier to eat well week as opposed to an eating too much and feeling nauseous week but perhaps identifying what is triggering some of these habits might help. (if only it were so easy.)
didn’t make it to bootcamp yesterday morning or this morning—evening bootcamp it is. And...
oh bleh feeling nauseus
seriously I swear it’s the day after drinking I eat all the things as opposed to during. I need to go grocery shopping as soon as I am paid next.
Blarggggh I need more sleep. And to move back into my apartment (from housesitting all last week) and to sleep more.
But I had a fab birthday and am ready to TAKE ON THE WEEK. Starting NOW! No more pretzel m&m’s for breakfast for me...
drinking and day-after-drinking
never good for the diet. Just eat all the hang over foods. I wish I had pizza. I am not going to make it to bootcamp tomorrow AM. I’ll go Tuesday, Wed and Fri of this week, as well as RUNNING. I must run
and eat well again bc I feel absolutely terrible and full right now.
I am BEAT! TIme for bed!
Deat lord.
I cannot hang with the finance accountants. Dropping hundreds left and right. 20 IS A LOT FOR ME
As a birthday present to me, I am at 8 am...
First time in the 3 weeks I’ve signed up I’m going three times. Good way to start a 24th year!
I'm feeling the desire to eat all the things bc...
Instead I will buy a warm coffee and listen to dubstep as I drive to the health fair.
I really wish I either a) had my headphones or b)
could blast dupstep at work because I am just REALLY not feeling it today.
I did not vomit at bootcamp!
and again, I was the only one there at that time slot so it was bootcamp personal training style.
it was tough. 7 different exercises, 7 reps, 7 times, arms and legs, and then a quick 3 minute cardio boost. I think I will be sore tomorrow. But I’m going to get up at 5:45 and run for 20 minutes before I wake up the children and walk the dogs etc. because I want to feel my absolute best this...
ate. too. much. lasagna.
wouldn’t. matter. so. much. if. i. didnt. have. bootcamp. in. just. over. an. hour.
hopefully i dont throw up lasagna on the exercise balls.
Emails from one roommate to another during work.
Liia: (sends a flyer asking for volunteers where dinner will be provided. dinner is bolded.)
Roommate: lol I like how “dinner” is bolded. you know how to get me interested…what is it though? is it a fruit plate with cheese cubes? or is it DINNER dinner
L: Catered dinner. Last time it was fancy and weird but the rolls with butter were delightful.
RM:mmm weird catered dinner....
my posture is terrible
but my water drinking is fabulous today!

Now don't get me wrong, I freaking love kids.
But housesitting and kidsitting this week is making me have “I WILL NEVER HAVE CHILDREN” impulses for a handful of reasons.
1) Getting up and going to an exercise class at 4:30 am is incredibly difficult when a 10 year old has a nightmare and you are woken up at 1 and then must talk to her and pet her head and rub her back until she falls asleep at 2 and then you try to fall asleep...

Successfully went to bed NOT FEELING SICK last...
success all around. Bootcamp in the AM, not too full in the PM, and I picked up a brownie, had a bite, realized I wasn’t hungry and put that brownie down (major points for me.)
Today I have had coffee and apparently it was strong because my heart is RACING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. I’m pounding water hoping it will calm down. Isn’t coffee supposed to help you do things? I feel...
I am never eating Cheerios for breakfast again.
Not enough protein! I’m so freaking hungry!!!!

all good things.

So I've been thinking about mindful eating.
And I’m working on it. Knowing when you’re full and knowing when you’re hungry as opposed to using food for other purposes and just eating when it’s time or eating when you feel sad or eating when yofu eel stressed etc. My friend had been feeling sick and hadn’t been able to keep uch down and the other night we went to dinner and she said she hadn’t felt FULL in so long it felt weird and I thought...
Guess what, friends???
I went to Bootcamp!!!!!!
And so it continues.
Eat until I feel so full I’m uncomfortable. Snack too much.
I need small goals. Goal 1) Bootcamp tomorrow am. Goal 2) when i get to bed tomorrow, dont feel sick from too much food.
I forget what healthy feels like. I would like to remember.
having so much trouble getting motivated.
missed bootcamp today.
MUST. GO. THIS. WEEK. THREE. TIMES.
Ate all the things all weekend.
well, not all weekend. I didn’t eat SHIT on Friday. Like, nothing. But since I got home? ALL THE THINGS.
and my birthday extravaganza is this weekend and i DO NOT WANT TO FEEL LIKE THIS WHEN IT HAPPENS.
so this week. water all the time. HEALTHY FOOD. and I AM GOING TO BOOT CAMP 3 TIMES. I have been in this for 2 weeks and never made it 3 times (This week because i was exhausted from...
Tomorrow.
Time for healthy eating. Im tired of feeling sick.
You know what's a work out?
Dubstep concerts. I danced from 930-230. And it was awesome. (until I got light headed and felt like I might pass out bc I hadnt eaten enough…)
I am driving to NY this afternoon
And I didnt want to fall asleep at the wheel so I moved Bootcamp from today to Sunday. Also last night I went to a haircuttery to blonde my hair because my regular hair dresser messed up my schedule (annoying and risky!) I really like the color but my hair kind of feels like hay. I know that will heal, plus I’m getting it trimmed Tuesday so it should feel better soon. I WAS going to go...
circus animal cookies for breakfast
vegetable pizza for lunch.
I was going to be all BEAT MYSELF UP time but then I realized 1) it’s not the end of the world to eat one piece of pizza and a few cookies once in a while, it’s fine. It happens. 2) I FEEL SICK! THIS IS GREAT NEWS! I WAS eating so crappily that I felt fine after anything and now, I FEEL SICK.
I do want to focus on eating in and making healthy meals next...

if you ate 2 cookies, or a piece of pizza, or some french fries…. you didn’t binge, you just ate a little junk food.

Things to discontinue doing:
Eating cookies for breakfast. There’s no protein and I just feel nauseous!
damn it
today I missed lunch because I didn’t pack it and then I was too busy to go get it. And then I ate a BIG SANDWICH and 5 circus animal cookies for dinner! It’s true—you have to eat balanced throughOUT the day so you don’t feel starving at dinner time. But, I didn’t super over eat and I didn’t finish the whole sandwich because I (SHOCK!) noticed I was getting...
