Last night I spent the night at Billy's house, I ate a too big dinner and fell asleep pretty early because I was so full and I wasn't feeling very good.... I had planned to go to the gym this morning, but fell asleep with the notion that I wouldn't go because I would prefer to sleep in AND me and Billy were both off today so we were going to be doing something. My phone alarm went of at 7am (every morning Monday-Friday) and I actually got up, went home, and went to the gym in time for step class at 8:30. I got my freaking BUTT KICKED! Man o man was I sweating during this class! We also did some abs after the class and we did the elliptical and treadmill machines for about 45 mins. So all in all I had a really awesome workout day :)
Then........ Billy took me hiking for our day off activity :) so I got another workout in!!! I feel so accomplished for today! Tomorrow is Friday and I am going to a body works class (just when my soreness was starting to go away) and on Saturday I am doing the 5 mile hike with my mom, I will have worked out 6 days straight after Saturday!!!! GO ME!
Billy and I also went to the pool after our hike, I got a little tanning in, and after all his trash talking Billy got in and I made him do a swim workout, although it was VERY short because he started complaining that it was hard ;) I was glad to be able to prove to him once and for all that swimming isn't easy!
OH and..... I ate 69% of my calories today, within my range YAY!!!

That was a shocker!
So I just finished tracking my calories from yesterday, and I am SHOCKED to find out that I did not go over my calories YAY! I was positive that after the dinner Billy made last night that I went way WAY over, but I didn't. I ate about 85% of what I am supposed to be eating (which is more than I want to be eating, My goal is like 60-70%) BUT.... I didn't go over and that is the important part :)
I also dragged myself out of bed this morning (with a still sleeping and totally comfy Billy sleeping next to me) to be able to make it to step class on time, so give me a high five for that! I went to bed last night thinking that I for sure was not going to get out of bed... So it's off to steo class for me. I am still sore from Monday and Tuesday, so this will either help or... make me more sore. Also me and Billy went rock climbing yesterday, and I think we are planning on going today as well YAY!

Yesterday...........
So I was doing SO good with my eating, until last night when I went to the yard house to visit a friend I hadn't seen for a while and ended up ordering from the happy hour menu. I should have checked the calories first because I only ate half (so I could save some for Billy) and it still cost me 900 calories!!!!!! Which also sent me way over my limit for the day. I didn't even add in the 2 martini's that I drank which I don't even want to know. Bottom line I went over my calories, I haven't done that in a long time and now I just feel like not eating at all! I am so sad about it. I am back up to 149 calories... back at the beginning with a long way to go if I want to get to 135. I went to a body works class on Monday and a Step class yesterday. Both completely kicked my butt!!! I am pretty sore, and I am planning on swimming today, which should still give me a good workout but not make me any more sore.

Tahoe... Friend or Foe?
So I just got back from a very relaxing very stress free and most of all FUN vacation in Lake Tahoe with my family and the most amazing man in the world! Although was it good or bad for me?
I admit I LOVED sleeping in until I woke up on my own, reading ALOT, eating and not thinking about it, and overall just lounging around! I think after the stressful student teaching experience I went through the past two quarters I seriously needed a vacation exactly like this one! I must admit, I brought my running shoes with every intention of getting a run with a breathtaking view every morning but the whether did not permit for any such workouts... I was "forced" to remain inside and relax for the better part of my vacation. So in a way this was good, I needed this!
I didn't realize it at the time, but all the semi-hard work that I have been putting into getting back in shape up until now was going to be lost by my eat freely without exercising diet while on vacation. I have weighed myself twice since I have been back just to be sure, but my weight is back up to 158, and I can't say that I am happy about it. Although one good thing that is coming out of this weight gain I think is even more motivation to loose it all over again!
I am committing myself to eating healthy (and doing my best to keep track of my calories) as well as working out as much as possible! Summer is approaching quickly and I can't say that I want to be strutting my stuff in a bikini right about now, but come summer time I am expecting to have: legs that don't BULGE out of my bathing suit bottoms, outer thighs that do not contain any traces of cellulite, a non-existent muffin top, and a slight trace of a six pack! Mark my words these things will be obtained before I put on my teenie weenie bikini :)

Another 5 mile hike!
I am proud to report I went on another 5 mile hike this morning :) and........ i went faster!! I ran the same distance, but... last week i did a little under 2 hours and today was a little over an hour and a half!!! I ran way more this time and even got my mom to run a bit!! I think this will be a weekly occurance :)
Also, I ate under my calories again today! I ate 55% of my total allowed calories. I am going to try and make sure to stay under at least 80% of what I am allowed, I think if I want to loose weight I am really going to need to make a change in my portion control as well ass what I am eating, which seems to be going well so far :)
More to come... I'm just on break at work right now and it's time for me to get back to my tables :)

hallelujah!!
Just an update... i am maintaining between 145 and 148 pounds. I think at the moment i am closer to the 148 if not over... i have been feeling like I've gained weight lately (which sucks), but maybe thats been my swift kick in the pants to get my butt moving again! I went on an amazing 5 mile hike (but i double backed to catch up with my mom and did 6.3) last weekend and i am doing it again tomorrow :) last weekend i completed it in just under 2 hours. I think i completed the course at about an hour and then walked really slow to get back to my mom and really slow after to complete it. I am happy to report that i wasn't at all sore after (yay) but because of that I am planning on running more this time and hopefully getting a faster time :)
Oh a side note... i was under my calories today! Yay! And my new favorite thing is green tea love it! Actually hot tea in general. I have always liked it but im starting to drink it a lot more :)
