Hey. It’s Friday and I am beat. I missed my upper body workout this week. Its the first week of school and I am back to student mode (Nursing student). Since the start of the semester things have just been crazy. Today is my lowerbody workout but I will have to make up for my missed upperbody workout today as well and that means I will be in the gym longer than I’d like. But hey things happen right? I will kick royal butt today in the gym! Trust me! Like one of my BB.COM friends (Myhia) said in an email to me .. TIME, PATIENCE AND CONSISTENCY is what its all about.

TODAY SUCKED. SUCKED. SUCKED. I WILL NOT EVEN MENTION WHAT I ATE ( A FREAKING BLUEBERRY MUFFFFFIN!  AND IT WAS DRY TOO AND MADE MY BELLY HURT) GOSH! I was heading to the kitchen at work to get a knife to slice my green apple in half and THERE IT WAS…… MUFFINS FOR EVERYONE… AND WHO TOOK ONE….me! I don’t even want to talk about it!

Feeling good today. After 8 days of intense work and clean eating I have already lost 1 POUND. I jumped rope yesterday. It felt so good. I did 4 sets of 100 spins. uuuugh. I could hardly walk or speak FOR A WHILE. LOL. It was an intense cardio work-out. I ate clean yesterday as well and I need to continue to do so to get to my goals. I discovered that slicing an apple in half and spreading peanut butter on top is heaven! Its like a candy bar! So thats one of my new healthy treats. The gym at my job opens back up today. YES! Intense leg work-out here I come. Oh how I’ve missed doing leg press and leg extension and hamstring curls on the machines! Mommy is coming… LOL.. thats all for now.. peace.

OK so I am feeling alot better today. I worked out hard yesterday evening. I did  CHEST-bench press & dumbbell flys,Triceps-dumbbell kickbacks & skull crushers,Abs-stability ball crunches &  leg raises,Back-push-ups (that took care of the tricpes,shoulders,chest and everything else as well) & Rhomboid pinch. This morning I did some stretching and I feel awesome…..

Uuuuugh. So cutting the sugars and fat out of my diet is kicking my butt. My enegry level is low and I have a headache all the time. Instead of  egg/cheese on a bagel or pancakes or cream cheese on a bagel (yummy!) I have switched to egg whites with turkey and grean tea with a piece of fruit. Healthy snacks through-out the day, like nuts, kiwi, strawberries, apples don’t hit the spot like a bag of Doritos.. but hey. Dinner is no longer lasagna or cheese burger or pizza or BBQ chicken or fried chicken,its grilled chicken or fish with a wide array of veggies and water. It will take some time before I adjust.. I know.. but.. the low energy is killing me.

Ok so I was supposed to work out this morning at 5am. But of course when the alarm went off I was just too tired to get up, lace up my sneakers and get on the treadmill! I have to get my work-out in today so I will have an evening filled with rushing. Rushing to cook, rushing to work-out, rushing rushing rushing… Ahhh There should be more hours in a day.

Dreaming of competing, getting buff, training hard. Should I be running, weight training, oatmeal or no oatmeal. So confused.
