Passover

Just wanted to let everyone know that due to Passover being this week, I will not be weighing in. I know I'm not the most religious person, but there are certain holidays that I do completely observe, and Passover has to be one of them.

Since my diet will be very different this week, I do not want to weigh in mid-week. I will do a quick unofficial weigh-in after the holiday is over and then an official on next Wednesday as usual.

If you have any questions about Passover in the meantime, I would be very happy to answer them!! I know not everything is always clear about Jewish holidays & I'd love to be of some informative help, if needed :-)

P.S. Crazy good workout today. I feel incredible after it!! Just the kind of motivation I needed to get back to the gym everyday this week!!

Food Pictures

I know I've been saying for awhile that I wanted to start posting pictures of what I eat...well, I figured now is better than ever before because I'm working to get back on track. I feel like I slipped away this past week, but I'm ready to fully start tracking again. So here's my first day of food pics!!

Breakfast: Special K Protein Meal Bar - Chocolate Caramel (4 points)

Lunch: Jimmy John's Vegetarian Sub & Giant Dill Pickle (15 points)

Dinner: Smart Ones Cheeseburgers & Green Giant Cheesy Rice & Broccoli (17 points)

Some of my meals today were a little higher in points than I would like, but I actually still have 7 left over for the day...so good deal!!

I'm just so happy to feel like I'm back on track :-) Hopefully progress pictures will come next!!

P.S. No weigh-in today! Long story...but I'll weigh in next week for sure!

Rain Check on the Weigh-In

So, I know I said I was going to stop doing this, but I'm totally not recording the weigh-in this week. I have a group project due this morning at 9:35 and we didn't get done with it until about 3:00 am. Now, whenever this happens, I don't get ANY sleep because I'm so worried something is going to go wrong with the project or Kinko's printing it all out (which I actually need to go pick up in about an hour so we have it on time). It's just all too much on my mind for me to fall asleep...so I toss & turn most of the night barely asleep, waking up every 45 minutes to an hour.

Therefore, I am BLOATED because I am retaining all this water weight. I always get really sick when stuff like this goes on too. Just for the day--I'll probably even be fine by tonight. But right now, all I want to do is throw up. I definitely don't have stage fright, so no fear of public speaking (I was on the debate team in high school and competed most every weekend in Original Oratory). I just get so anxious about everything & want to make sure I do well that I panic and get sick. It's a never ending cycle which just gets worse as more and more stress from the semester starts to pile on.

I know I'm supposed to be talking about my weigh-in and how I'm missing it, but I gotta admit...it feels good to get all my feelings about this project out. It's not even being counted as a project--it's listed in the syllabus as a class participation grade. Which just really makes me mad!! You wanna do good, but at the same time, she makes it seem like it's not even that important. Ridiculous.

Well, I need to get ready and go to Kinko's before class. Hope everyone is having a better start to the day than I am. I might weigh in tomorrow based on how I feel...but we'll see.
