Nothing New

Have I mentioned just how much I hate writing these posts?
I hate them. Every bit of them.
Mainly because I find myself busy enough with life.
After all I work 40+ hours each week. Add in my travel time (two days a week I'm in the city), taking care of my son, cleaning/cooking (because lets face it, I'm busy), and guess what, I'm at the gym almost every day for 2 hours a day.

The last thing that I want to do is sit here and write my blog. I mean, I can be painting my nails and watching them dry in this time!

But here I am, another week in and I'm writing.

Now, my scale hasn't changed in 2 weeks. At all.
Not a single budge.

And I cannot begin to tell you how frustrating this is.

When you put so much effort and work into something to not see a damn change, it really gets to you. It hurts in ways that I don't think people would understand.
I take a lot of pride into my fitness. I've been working really hard at it.

Two hours.
Thats two hours every night that I could be sleeping, or catching up on my shows, reading, relaxing.

But no, I put two hours every day into the gym.... and for these last few weeks, I've got nothing.

And I'm not entirely sure if the fact that I spent the entire day flying yesterday (4 planes, yup... 4) has anything to do with it, but my inches have either increased, or stayed the same. I've heard that when you fly, you should never step on the scale/take measurements bc your body is readjusting to being up and down like that. It could be a myth, I'm not sure. As if I wasn't upset enough that my scale hasn't changed, now my measurements haven't either.

I don't get it.

It's moments like this where I think, maybe I just need a break. I have a million stressors in my life going on right now.
Everything is work, and no fun.

I used to work hard, and play hard.
Now, I don't play at all. I'm too busy working.

I don't sleep anymore. I'm lucky if I get about 3 hours every night.
Maybe that's contributing to it, the fact that I'm not sleeping enough.

This past week, I have been a living/walking zombie. To the point where I had to take a night off otherwise I knew I would get hurt while working out.

Normally I have something positive about my progress, but this entry, I have nothing.

Weight Loss Crafts 2:5

I made it to Friday ! And better yet, I survived to tell the tale. It's just been a busy and eventful week that I cannot wait to spend it at the beach all weekend. I figured I'd go there Saturday after I hit the gym, and then on Sunday too. I love taking myself to the beach. I go, do my thing, take naps, read, watch the waves... Its life!   Lets just see if the weather holds up. So my work jeans are pretty big on me. Even with a belt, they just don't sit right. But I'm not quite yet ready to go down a size. Instead, I made my pants adjustable! I cut 2 holes on the inside of the waistband and put elastic in there. I secured one end, and left the other end "free". I sewed on a button that way I can adjust the elastic to make them tighter so they can fit better! I won't lie, I'm pretty excited for this!  Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  iced coffee with 2 tbs...

4:1 Back on Board the Wagon!

So I missed a whole week. Life happened. And to me, that's okay. Because this isn't a race, this is a journey . And sometimes along our journey's we take rests/pit stops. Last week was my pit stop. But I'm back on the wagon in full swing! It's never about how many times you fall off. It's always about how many times you get back on! I may have gained 5 lbs since my last weigh in. But I'm okay about it. I'm not saying that I'm going to sit there and accept defeat. But I'm okay with this set back. I'm okay that I know that I'm going to have to push harder. I'm okay with that. In fact, I've decided to take full swing back in control with a lot of things. I need to manage my time better. Something that I struggle with. But I plan on getting back to sticking to my planner. And I even bought myself a workout/diet planner! This way I can keep track of my food and exercises. It's small enough to fit in my purse. My ac...

4:2 Delayed Pictures and Measurements as Promised

Image
OH MY GLUTES!!! I know that I stretched last night, but my goodness am I sore! It's been a crazy busy day in my office. I've taken on the task of checking all of our patient's eligibility before they have their appointment in our Garden City location. Which is a bit much for me. I know how to check eligibility, but not like this. It's causing me to multitask like an office ninja! But I've been working really hard on it, and I think I'm doing a decent job! I'm almost done with the whole month of August. And then I have to wait till September 1st to do September. But I'll get there. I've already started working on a Christmas gift today. I figured I'll start now just so I'm not pressed come the holiday season. So once I finish this blog post I'll get a few more stitches in before bed. Here's what I ate:   Breakfast-  1/2 cup of oatmeal  1/2 banana 1/2 of egg whites  1 tbsp of salsa  1 cup of coffee with milk and sug...
