Yay! It definitely is nice to be done with my workout for the day. I worked out to the dvd again, right after I got up a few hours ago. I've decided that I'm going to go downtown to the local coffee shop for lunch, since they make really good healthy sandwiches and have really really good tea...I'm gonna work on german there...it should be nice. Ok, well that has to wait until after choir, which I've got in 10 minutes, so gotta go. :)

Wedding Workout and The Knot.

Ok, so tonight I cracked open my Wedding Workout dvd that Lee gave me, and I did the cardio and the lower body workouts, plus warm-up and cool down. Total time for all of it was around 30 min. I was really supposed to only do 20 today, but to do that I'd have had to drop warm-up and cool down, or possibly one of the other two, but those are where the work is really done, and I hate to only do one. Ok, the reason I said I'm only supposed to do 20 today is because I decided to try following this plan that I found on theknot.com. It's a "6 months till your wedding" workout plan. It basically lays down some ground rules and paces you a bit, so that you don't get discouraged or overwhelmed, but you still get good workouts. It's very general, so I can choose whatever aerobic workout I want to do, it just needs to be an aerobic workout. :) It's simple enough that I can follow it and not get discouraged, but strict enough that I won't quit for no reason. I'll link to it in the title, but no guarentees that it'll work so well...

Progress!!!

Hey all, just wanted to let you know I'm approaching the 10 lb mark...that is, I've lost nearly ten pounds...should be officially 10 in the next day or two. I've been keeping track of everything I've been eating in a food diary, and I've been working out, though not as much as I should there.

Tonight my roommate made Chicken Tikka, rice and Naan bread, which was incredibly good. Because of my wisdom teeth surgery, I've got to eat slower, so I didn't eat more than one portion, except, for the bread, which I had two servings of. It was really good...I'm done eating for the night now though. Oh yeah, that's the other thing...I hardly ever snack anymore. Yeah, so yay! Progress!

Cuban-Coffee Chili

Mom and I are making cuban-coffee chili. It smells good! I think it should be filling enough that I won't overeat. I'm excited though...I've been wanting to try this recipe for awhile.

P.S.
I worked out on the treadmill for about twenty minutes last night and fifteen today. I've lost three pounds since I started my food journal up again...it helps a lot.

Cookies...

Ok, cookies, cookie dough, etc., those are my weaknesses. Both of which I discovered today....so I had some....but, I didn't have that much, and I don't think I"ll be having any tomorrow or the rest of the week. Just indulged today. Thought I should mention it.
On another note, I have not worked out yet today, and I haven't worked out on a treadmill for awhile, so I will be doing that tonight before going to bed....not immediately before, but just sometime this evening...probably sometime in the next hour or two. Ok. Now that I've said that I've got to do it. :)

Well, I did work out the other night before going to bed, and I worked out yesterday as well...Michelle and I went up to the YMCA to work out. It was rather nice to be back in an actual gym. I may join a gym again, but first I've got to check out the Dome, since I'm paying for it through tuition as it is. If I still don't like it there, I"m going to check out the new 24 hour fitness place on Cherry before I go back to my old gym. Don't get me wrong, I did love the old gym, but it was really expensive. We'll see, when I get back to Vermillion.

Today I am losing weight. Yeah, ok, I haven't checked the scale recently, and lately I've been really good at maintaining. In addition to that, yesterday, or officially, the day that was 12 minutes ago, I ate way too much. But, here's why I say I am losing weight todya. I am going to get up, immediately after posting this, and I'm going to do stretches and exercises, and then in the morning I'm getting up and hopefully getting up to go to the gym with Michelle. Ok, so I know it's been awhile since I posted here. Call it a new year's resolution or whatever, but I'm going to attempt to post here more. Here's what I request more though....can whoever happens to read here actually post comments on the blog??? It helps me stay somewhat accountable. That'd be great....

Ok, now to actually get up and move...maybe I'll get Keya to work out with me. :)
