chrissy- things are going well. how are you doing?

sara- i thought i was following you on insta already.. did you get a new account? i think it's good to take a break from this site periodically. i LOVE the veggies/fruit smoothies they totally make me regular! way to go on the workouts.

i have been keeping up with workouts and healthy eating. i did morning workouts during the week, then a hard interval run on saturday, and then i vigorously cleaned my apt for 4+ hours on sunday including 5 loads of laundry up and down a flight of stairs. i enjoyed a piece of strawberry shortcake on saturday for my niece's bday party, and then a chocolate cookie and some ice cream on mother's day. both were delicious and worth it. i haven't weighed myself in a long time. i feel like it might just discourage me at this point. so i am going to get to a place where i fit comfortably into my clothes and then see where i am at.

chrissy- i feel you. sometimes it seems impossible to be consistent! keep at it girl.

cals were in check yesterday and actually on the low side due to how much i ate the day/night before. didn't make it to the gym this morning unfortunately though. i need to go tomorrow for sure.

Hi Ladies, i know we are all busy these next few weeks but here is my update.

i am going to vegas this weekend so i am a little extra motivated to get my workouts in. i have been getting up and going to the gym in the morning and counting calories, but more importantly eating healthier. hope you are both doing well.

hi ladies. i have been able to get to the gym in the mornings and it feels great. eats have been pretty good and within range. i am SUPER busy as usual, but i am hoping to just keep being positive and go with the flow instead of stressing out about the little stuff.

chrissy- omg so your wedding will be memorial day weekend? that's great! can't wait to see the pictures!

how heart wrenching is the Boston marathon stuff! literally makes me ill.

good morning ladies. once again i managed not to overeat last night. YAY. it feels so good not to be too full all the time and my bm's are better too. i was feeling a bit stressed because i have a lot of studying to do this weekend as well as two close friends' birthday celebrations so i decided to take a half day today at work and i am so relieved! this morning i had greek yogurt with quinoa, peanut butter and stevia, coffee with half and half only, and i just had a fruit and veggie smoothie. i have a lot of energy and i feel great. i am going straight to the gym after work, then going home to study study study. then it is bday surprise party/dinner at a new restaurant in town called 7. i think it's comfort food, but the menu isn't online so i can't pre-log. we will see what happens i guess, should be really fun!

sara- funny you say that because i am drinking a veggie smoothie right now. it contains: lemon, orange, carrot, kale, spinach, parsley, mint, ginger, cucumber, orange juice, aloe juice, plant protein, frozen peaches, frozen banana, frozen blueberries and ice. it turned out great! good luck to you. i don't know if i could do that because i tend to drink smoothies too fast.

chrissy- that is great. i am also counting today and going for a deficit, and trying to be more active in general (ie, running up the stairs, walking around etc.) tomorrow is my gym day. YAY!

chrissy- i am with you. today i am not going to overeat! even if it's just for today. i know i can not overeat for ONE day. and i know it only takes one day to make the next days that much easier. we can do it!

finished with house sitting. back to reality. i am really trying to stay on top of my school work so that i can get workouts in. now that it is light in the morning i am going to try to workout even if it's a 30min run in the AM. my BF is going to TJs today and i am having him get my old calorie count staples. greek yogurt in individual cups, string cheese, ground turkey, cereal, almond milk etc. gotta rely on my old staples and make a schedule so i can feel my very best. even if i don't lose a bunch of weight right away; i know i will feel better if i am on track eating wise and at least getting some activity in. my legs are craving a run today. i will probably have to wait till tomorrow morning.

breakfast was plain oats with raisins, coffee with 1 cup organic soymilk. no added sugar yay!

chrissy- hope you had fun with your girlfriend. buffets and all-you-can-eats are danger zones for me because i like to get my money's worth! things are going alright. i am just wearing looser clothing and trying not to stress it. i know that i have to tools to get to where i need to be. i made spaghetti with meat sauce on friday because the teenager had two of his friends sleep over. i also made chicken vegetable soup (a particularly good batch), and last night i made lemony pasta with shrimp, asparagus and artichoke hears (SO BOMB). needless to say i am set on meals for the beginning of this week.

sara- i freakin love kale chips. how do you make them? i use olive oil, lemon juice and a touch of salt and bake at 325 until they are the crispy enough or about 15min. this kitchen is stocked, but i can tell that they never actually cook haha.

so far i have had a banana with 1 TBSP of PB and coffee with honey and half and half. i forgot to grab my leftovers from the house to eat for lunch GRRRR oh well. i think i need to try to detox myself from sugar. i feel a little bit addicted. guess i should have skipped the honey in my coffee this morning. doh!

sara- you will get there and some days you will be stronger than other days.

well i am totally out of control with my eating. it's almost painful. i know it is a direct result from not getting workouts in and stress from school. i cannot wait for this semester to be over and to have my free time after work to devote to workouts. i really overextended myself. i totally bombed this past math test because i didn't have enough time to study, and i just hope that everyone else did just as bad or worse than i did. this morning i have had a scone and a coffee and some frosting from a cupcake cause that's where i am at right now. geez. i am helping my friend take care of her parent's household for the next few days, so hopefully a change in environment with help.
