Week 4 Day 26/84

I'm so sluggish today, I really don't feel like even writing this blog...but I will because I've done it this far. I can't wait for the long weekend. I'm looking forward to getting my measurements done so I can have reason to keep going (I know that sounds terrible!) but numbers speak to me....(I am a finance person after all..).

I've gone to be too late this week, I've been living off of 5hr energy shots, and really this isn't a healthy way to be. I'd like to say early to bed tonight and sleep in tomorrow, but it's not going to happy until Monday. I'm doing my measurements tomorrow morning, the gym, then driving to Campbell River to see G's parents, then Sunday getting up early to drive home for Turkey Dinner. I'm exhausted thinking about it. Go to bed early tonight? Nope. Can't do it. I've got plans to do drinks and a movie (by drinks I mean, I doubt I'll actually be drinking after last night’s dinner....).

Gah, I forgot both my bra, AND my lunch at home....again, my mind is elsewhere....

Week 4 Day 25/84

Last night was extremely weird...I woke up in the middle of the night hungry...although my eating habits haven't been that great per say, I haven't turned to junk food. I think my metabolism is increasing, and therefore I'm getting more hungry during the day. Anyways, I'll have to come up with alternatives, and plan better....

I do however feel fantastic, and I've been going to the tanning bed (as of Monday) to not only help with mood, and overall feeling, but so my pics look awesome at the end of 12 weeks!

Week 4 Day 24/84

I slept in this morning....gah! my alarm went off at 5:15am I guess I thought I pressed snooze but apparently I turned it off completely! I woke up at 6:22am. Anyways, I didn't let that stop me! I went anyways, rushed, but I went. I got to the gym by 7am, and although I didn't get my 15min run like I like to get in before weights, I thought it was meant to be...my really could use the break.

Week 4 Day 23/84

I had an awesome work out!!!! I had my cardio today and went beyond my HIT from last week! Yahoo! Anyways, I'm feeling blah today mostly because I WANT TO SEE RESULTS!!!!! (externally that is) haha I know I have to wait a few more weeks but man oh man would I just love to see some!

That being said...I'm doing my 4 week pics/measurements this weekend before I have Canadian Thanksgiving dinner! haha...(can you tell that will be my free day?!) but I really don't want to overindulge...also, I'd like to get an extra thing of exercise in...maybe a hike?! we'll see, it will be a very jammed packed weekend!

I felt sooooo unmotivated this morning, but regardless I'm glad I went.

As I go on with my day, I came across this affrimation, and I have to remind myself....

Be Infinitely Patient

Being infinitely patient means having an absolute knowing that you're in vibrational harmony with the all-creating force that intended you here. You know that everything will happen at just the right time, at just the right place, with just the right people.

Week 3 Day 21/84

Today, was not a good day for eating...I had a terrible sleep, in fact I've had a terrible couple of nights. Mostly due to personal issues that have raised. None the less I'm not over indulging...I enjoyed eggs Benny, a protein bar, tea, some rainforest's crackers and brie cheese. I know its not on the plan, but it's reasonably healthy choices, but it's a lot better than 3 weeks ago!


I've noticed a bit of change in my pants. Their not as tight and muffin top has slowly progressively lessened. I ended up buying the body for life book, as the one I had was borrowed. I'm hoping this will provide some excercise idea's and keep me plugging around.


All I need is sleep...the last week has been bad for sleep...late nights early mornings, shattered emotions...not great.

Week 3 Day 20/84

Last night I had my brother's birthday party- It was a lot fun. I also decided to use Friday (night) as my "free day" I enjoyed an A&W teen burger w/fries, a few vodka 7's and a chocolate cupcake. Then this morning I made sure I didn't reach for crap food.
