It's Sunday again!

1.5 pounds down from last Sunday! I'm at a total of 4.5 pounds, officially as of this morning! Yes!


I got myself to the gym yesterday before lunch with my mom and sister. Ran on the treadmill, did a mile and then some intervals for half an hour. Then I did some strength. I love the leg press. Love love love it. Why? My booty. I can not only feel it in my quads, but I can feel it in my booty. Let me tell you something about me: I have a ghetto booty. Really, I do. I'm not saying it because I have a warped view of my body and I hate my butt, but my butt is curvy. And I like it. I like the proportion of booty to the rest of me. I just want me as a whole to be smaller all over, more toned, with less jiggly bits. My booty gets a lot of attention, (sometimes unwanted,) it has fans. 


I didn't do too great on eating yesterday. I had lunch with my mom and sister, ordered a light meal of this pasta dish that they said had about 487 calories and the salad bar. My plan was to only eat half the pasta and have a ton of salad, but then my sister ordered guacamole, salsa, and chips. I could not help myself! Ugh, from there is just did not get better. I wanted something sweet, so I went to the frozen yogurt place, ordered a kid's cup with strawberries and raspberries. There wasn't that much frozen yogurt in it and there was a ton of fruit, so that was good. But then I got to work and we needed to eat dinner before bartending the bat mitzvah coming in, so my coworker got Noodles. I wasn't even hungry and I had to force it down because I thought I wasn't going to get a chance to eat when the guests got there and we were scheduled to go until midnight. Well, I was wrong! This lady said she felt bad for us and brought us ice cream and cupcakes. The ice cream was only a couple of very small scoops, so I ate it and had two bites of the cupcake. The parents of the 13 year olds didn't want their kids out too late, so they ended the party at 10:00pm. We got out of there around 10:30pm, which I was so grateful for. 


I was so sick since that cupcake. I bet if you had put a bucket, trash can, or toilet in front of my face and said, "CUPCAKE." I would have thrown up. I guess I just can't handle sugary foods anymore, which is a good thing because now I know what will happen if I have too much dessert and I'll avoid it. I could barely stand up for the rest of the night! I got home, had some toast to calm my belly, and passed out on the couch mid conversation with my roommate. Woke up about 11 hours later in my bed at 10:00am with my voice completely gone and a dry cough. 


Ugh, I just want to be healthy enough so I can get on a regular gym schedule. Why am I getting so sick recently? It seems like I've been battling one thing or another for a week now. It's cramping my running style. I have a training session on Wednesday morning. I hope I survive! How do you feel about working out when you're sick? 


But hey, smile on my face, I lost 1.5 pounds this week with minimal working out! It just really proves how your eating habits can affect your weight loss. I worked out twice this week and I lost 1.5 pounds just by sticking to staying under 1,500 calories a day in fruits, veggies, almonds, and lean protein. I even had some yummy desserts in there. This is awesome!
