Finally Rested...Sorta...

After my long ramblings of not being able to sleep on my last post, I finally got some rest in the last week. Kinda. Things have been kinda crazy lately. Between work & nonstop on and off bad weather, it's been hard to find the time to just do anything. I've been getting in my workouts and still eating right. I'm definitely seeing a flatter stomach on me (when I step on the scale, I can look straight down and see the numbers!!), but my weight seems to be going up! I'm hoping it's just muscle for I can see some strengthening throughout my body.

Currently, I'm experiencing everyone's favorite monthly visitor. It's been tough since I haven't been "regular" in a few years & I am definitely feeling the pain. That could be another big reason for seeing a gain in the past week, but I'm staying positive and just focusing on what I'm noticing in my body changes rather than just the number on the scale.

I'm not quite ready to start tracking my weekly weigh-ins on here yet. I don't know why this time...but it just doesn't feel right just yet... Maybe in a few weeks, I'll feel confident in it again, but I think for right now, it just feels like I'm gonna send myself in spiral of depression if I start losing, but then gaining. I think I want to see a consistent loss before I start posting. Is that crazy? It seems like it makes sense...but it also feels kind of cowardly.

I'm still exhausted, so I think I'm gonna take a nap. I already went for a short run/walk with Chesney this morning and am planning to hit the gym later this afternoon. For now, I think I'm gonna cuddle up with a good book and just enjoy my day off (oh yeah...did I mention I'm off today? Haha). In fact, Chesney is already asleep!!

Hope everyone is having a great day :-) Thanks for being patient with my commenting (or lack thereof). I promise I've been reading though!!

Weigh-In

So, although I weighed-in today just to see how I was doing...I've made the decision to only post it once a month. This way I'm seeing a higher number and will feel more confident in how I'm doing.

I've been REALLY good about working out & eating right. I just hope I can keep it up. Classes have started, so that stress is kinda back again...but now that I'm part-time, it shouldn't be near as bad as it was last semester.

Another episode of I Used To Be Fat is on tonight. If you have not seen this show yet, TUNE IN!! I've found it to be so inspiring to see them lose THAT much weight THAT quickly. I was hoping to watch it AT the gym tonight...but I have a paper to write that's due tomorrow, so it looks like I'll just be doing a home workout tonight. As long as I'm doing something, I feel good. But I can't WAIT to get back to the gym tomorrow. I forgot how much I love working out :-)

Alright...this was my paper break, but I guess I should get back to it. Hope everyone that's in snowy areas is staying safe & warm!! We only got ice, but it was still super dangerous to walk & drive in!!

Snowed In

So...I'm completely snowed in today. Since most people in my apartment complex went home for the holidays, there were no cars here to drive before me and turn the snow to slush. I finally made an attempt to go to Harris Teeter, but it sure did take some time.

Now I'm just relaxing in bed...watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...and enjoying my day. I wasn't able to make it into work with it being a 20-30 minute drive for me, so I'll just have to go back tomorrow. Drive slowly & safely of course!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday & is having a relaxing day today!! I'm excited to start the new year and will definitely be posting some of my goals for 2011 in the upcoming week.

What are some of your goals so far??
