Its sunday.

My god has life been busy the last few days....
I had scheduled friday to work out, but that didnt happen. I had to help my brother catch up on a ton of his school work and go meet his teacher face to face (he and my 15 year old brother are home schooled). My mom came, but only because she was required to. She made me go with her because she said she didnt want to "face that bitch alone" (thats a direct quote).
After we got home, there were lots of errands that needed to be done. Grocery shopping had to be done, prescriptions filled, etc, so I headed out and didnt get back until late. It was about 10 o'clock when everything was done, and I was too tired to work out.
That night, I was pretty upset that I didnt get to do my own school work or work out... Plus, my mom and I had been fighting since thursday night. I fell off the wagon on Friday, but got right back on yesterday.
I did a lot of working out yesterday in between all the house work I was doing (which my mom directed). I barely found time to eat, but I was busy, which made me happy. Calories were lower than I have seen in a long, long time. I just wasnt all that hungry yesterday.
I am very, very proud of myself for not going overboard last night either. My fiance and I went out for awhile last night, too. It was the first time I'd seen him face to face in about a month and half. We really never see each other because he works 6 days a week, and He's been gone for work for the past 3 weeks. When he is home and he is off on sundays, half the time I am too tired to even go out or do anything. Its hard, but we both understand, and we talk everyday. Anyways, I had panda express while he had a philly cheese steak sandwich and loaded steak fries (with cheese sauce, bacon bits, sour cream and chives). I didnt have any of his fries, and I didnt have any of the cold stone he got on the way home. Haha I enjoyed some tea from starbucks instead. Pffttt, him and his speedy man-metabolism.
I also felt like pigging out when I got home last night. I asked myself if i was truly hungry, and I wasnt. I dont know why the urge to go eat the whole fridge was there, but i didnt. Thank god!
So i am quite proud of myself.
Another week has gone by... in two weeks, I have only faltered twice, and both times have been friday nights. GAH! The weekends are the worst! I am hoping I can overcome this by this weekend, and see a couple pounds get knocked off on the scale. Then again, I am not banking my entire hopes on a number. I do feel so much better than two weeks ago. I really, really do. I hope all my buddies are doing well too! Sorry i have been MIA! haha

Its Monday Night. Well, technically, its Tuesday.

I just got home from taking dad to the airport. He'll be gone 10 days for a business trip.

Today's work out was wonderful. I did circuit training, and then 30 minutes on the treadmill. The circuit training was exhausting, but felt so good. I am pretty sore haha I'm looking forward to wednesday when I go for it again.

I need to work on eating foods that keep me full. I couldnt seem to tame my hunger today. It was driving me crazy! I was ready to eat anything I could get my hand on just to make my stomach stop gurgling!
Tonight, I ate a salad with shrimp for an early dinner around 4 and by 5 I was hungry again. I was very, very frustrated. So I decided to eat an english muffin, figuring that the fiber in that would hold me over.
I dont know why, but I was so hungry all day! After I ate a sandwich around 7:30, I was STILL hungry. I was so sick of that feeling, so I went into the kitchen and looked for something that I thought would make my stomach shut the hell up. I ate some prunes and then wanted something crunchy, so I dove into the celery. I finally felt satisfied, but it didnt last long.

I've had this problem before, and have found I've had the best experience with high-fiber carbs paired with some kind of protein or healthy fat. The double fiber english muffins and almond butter will keep me full for about 4 hours. Thats a long time for me. I'm usually hungry after only two hours. But then again, I tend to eat pretty small portions that are about 225-250 calories.
Bread is so calorie-dense though. And i think I would get tired of eating it so often. Uggghhhh. Carbs like fruit and vegetables dont do anything for me on the fullness scale. I LOVE salads, but after only an hour of eating them, I feel like I didnt eat at all. The same goes if I eat just fruit or just veggies, or just some protein.

Does anyone have some suggestions? I know I have asked a million times haha but I need helllllppppp!
I've tried googling it, and a lot of sites say to eat lots of fiber. But I am!
So now I am totally lost lol

I'm so excited about circuit training now. I like it alot, its a real challenge, and I can definitely feel a difference. I really hope it works and I start to see results. Should be really fun :]

Its Sunday.

I like to think of sunday's as take-it-easy-days, despite getting ready for Monday's to-do list, which may or may not have a whole lot of things on it. The weekend is almost over, too (thank god).

Today I am going to try to get out to buy some new work out shoes. The ones I have are giving my blisters and have become so uncomfortable to run in. Luckily, they are black and look like any old pair of tennis shoes, so they will get demoted to just a pair of regular shoes to fool around with on the weekends outside or something.
I want to invest in a good pair of running shoes for those days when I feel like tackling the treadmill. I love my treadmill lol
The only problem is that I still depend on my parents for these things, and my mom has given me a budget of $30. Thats a decent amount for a good pair of skate shoes, maybe. I dont know, things have gotten so expensive over the years, and I know a good pair of reboks are at least $40-50. I understand the concept of being on a budget, but my mom gives me a hard time whenever I ask for something, which is a RARE occurrence. And its something that i feel I really need. I dont even ask for things that I solely want, like jewelry, make up, etc. I just cant believe how she has no problem blowing hundreds of dollars on herself getting her things she doesnt need, but she gives me a hard time for wanting shoes? *grumble, grumble*

Whatever. I am letting my mom's antics go. Plus, I have a stash of money from when I was working and I am probably going to throw 20 bucks into my running shoes fund and pick me up a good pair of nikes or something. It will be so worth it.

I am very proud of myself for not overeating last night, especially since I made spaghetti with meatballs for my brothers and dad.
I knew I wanted some too, so I made my healthier version with meatless meatballs by trader joes over whole wheat pasta.
If anyone has a Trader Joe's near them, you should try these puppies. I think I liked them better than real meatballs. I dont know what it was about them but they were just divine. Their texture was practically identical to perfectly tender meat. Maybe it was that I was really, really hungry?! Haha They are also 100% vegan/vegetarian, just to let all you herbivores out there know.

I am glad the weather is so nice today, and I hope it continues through the week. It always puts me in a good mood. Its a shame I am inside a whole lot though :[ I'd rather be outside doing something or going somewhere. I love to be active. I really do. I'm kind of the opposite of my family. My brothers barely leave the house, my mom never leaves, and my dad leaves for work. Thats it.
I want to go to the beach really badly.

Have a great sunday everyone, and look forward to a new week!

Its Saturday.

I went for a bike ride yesterday and my ass is so sore now. Ugh. Remind me not to do that until I can get a new seat or something to solve that problem. Its really not worth it. There are other ways to work my quads. And if I want to enjoy the weather, I'll just take a nice walk.

Uggghhh! The weekends are the hardest times. I do fine Monday- Thursday. I eat foods that make me feel good and because I feel good I can stick to my exercising.
But for some reason, on the weekends, its like I subconsciously give myself pseudo-permission to eat whatever is around me.
I never used to be like this. I was always able to pass up high calorie temptations. So why now?!?! why the past few months...
Well, sometimes its not even high calorie/junk food. Its just too much of good food.
I think its because I have gotten so used to it that its hard to pull away from it. Like a bad habbit! GAWD! its driving me crazy.

Well, the good thing is that normally I would just go all out all weekend and pig out. But I dont want to do that, so I am going to start off today with doing a good work out.
That outta shake the snack-attacks outta me.

I feel like I have tripped and stumbled, but I have not fallen! I need to keep going!
