Today was probably my most sinful day in a long, long time and it could have been a lot worse. I started the day off with a good walk and burned 715 calories. I had a healthy breakfast, lunch was not so healthy, and dinner was bad lol. I drank a lot of water today though!
Breakfast- lightly frosted wheaties - about 1 to 1 and a half cups with 1% milk
Walked for about an hour and 45 minutes and burned 715 calories
Lunch- 3 waffles with butter and syrup, but I have to say I went as light as possible with the butter and syrup.
Baked chocolate chip cookies- total cookies for the entire day SIX....that's really not bad for the amount of damage I can do.
Dinner- 2 small/regular-ish sized slices of cheese pizza with pineapple chunks, 6 wings (with the bone), yes I used ranch but did not smother them with it, and I drank a whole liter of diet coke....yes a whole liter.
I definitely recognize that it was a bad day, lol. BUT considering it's the only real bad day I have had so far since I started this blog (and even before I started it) I do not really feel guilty. I do know that I could have had something better for lunch besides freakin' waffles or had 3 cookies instead of 6, but I applaud myself for being honest with myself on here. Tomorrow will start with a walk for breast cancer (5k) and I definitely plan on being good tomorrow to make up for being bad today. Maybe do an evening walk in addition to the marathon.
Oh and by the way, my friends and I watched Paranormal Activity....seriously made me want to sh*t my pants!!!!!

It's Halloween
So I decided to stay home from work today, which I was slightly disappointed in doing, but I would rather spare everyone from me blowing my nose every 10 minutes and this will give me more time to go get a great work out in. Tonight we are doing a girls' night in for Halloween because of a few factors: Emily does not want to get drunk, she has a test this coming week, I am not feeling well, I need to work on my research paper this weekend, and also I am doing a walk for breast cancer tomorrow morning...at SEVEN THIRTY. Ugh so early. So to get wasted tonight and have a hangover tomorrow would be a really, really dumb decision.
So next point of business is my weight-loss goal for November 18th. I want my arms and back to look great because my dress shows all of my upper back and all of my arms. I am striving to lose 4 more pounds by then. I am about 134 right now....I have not been this small since some time in high school. I think I was about 125-130 back then, but I didn't have much muscle. Now I have muscle, plus my body has definitely finished filling out since then (3-4 years ago!) I just want to get the weight off now while I'm young and keep it off. Also I want to be VERY healthy when Derek and I do finally decide to have kids so that my pregnancy goes well and then the weight is easier to get off after labor. I want to look cute when I'm pregnant, dammit!! lol.
I have less than 2 months before I move to NC to be with Derek so recently I have been looking for and applying to some jobs. I also printed off a bunch of applications to turn in when I am out there in November for the ball. Derek has been really stressed out about that because we are going to be pretty tight on money for those 5 months we live together and aren't married. The Marine Corps doesn't pay for you to live outside of base unless you are married (98% of the time) or if you are a Sgt. and the barracks are really full then you can apply for half the amount of money that married couples get. The point to this paragraph is I need to have a job so that we can stay caught up on bills and have a few extra bucks to play around with. Once we get married I wouldn't have to work if I didn't want to, but I will because I love earning my own money and it will just be more for us to save and do something with.
My mom keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and I have no idea. Maybe I will blog about that later today with pictures and be like everyone else who blogs these days!

Day 11 & 12
Okay sooooo I forgot to update last night simply because I was working hard on my research paper....is that a good enough excuse? To me it is.
Yesterday (Thursday):
Breakfast- plain oatmeal, 1 splenda, raisins, splash of soy milk
Lunch- 2 fresco bean burritoes from taco bell
snacked on about a handful of raw almonds, a few pieces of chocolate
Water-about 8 cups
Dinner 1 turkey sausage and some brown steamed rice.
Walked to and from work and then some because I was early and walked after dinner. Calorie total of 1085!!!
I seem to have fallen under the weather and have this icky cold. I believe it's my allergies so I will take it with stride, but boy does it sure dampen my mood. I had planned on today being a huuuuge work out success for me, but all I plan on doing is going walking. Hey at least it's something, right? I just wish I could shake this long-lasting sinus headache I have had since I woke up at 10 AM! Oh and I started a cleanse that also promotes energy so that should help me jumpstart myself to lose these last 4 pounds before the Marine Corps ball. I have a little under 3 weeks now!
Breakfast- plain oatmeal, 1 splenda, raisins, splash of soy milk
Lunch- whole wheat bread turkey sandwich with just a little bit of mayo..I forgot I ran out of mustard and had nothing else. Oh well.
snack in between I had about 1/2 cup of the left over chicken alfredo dinner from the night before
Dinner- roomie made these little steak things, red rice, and I made mashed potatoes. I only had seconds on the potatoes and it was not by as much as I usually do! Mmmm starches!
Water 5-6 cups...update this again after the walk
Okay about to head out on the walk, I will update with the calorie numbers in a bit!
425 calories for the day....not bad considering I feel terrible.
Water count including unsweeted tea was about 7-8ish cups.
Now to veg in bed, work on my paper, and pass out!!

Day 8!
Last week I burned 4882 Calories so my goal for this week is 5000. That seems obtainable!
Breakfast- bowl of cereal and 1% milk
Water- 7 or 8 cups
Lunch- 2 turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread, mustard, mayo
Snack- biscuit
Dinner- Chicken alfredo hamburger helper
Made home made hot cocoa! Recipe called for 1/2 cup sugar so I used 1/4 sugar and a 1/4 splenda granulated. Also used 1% milk instead of 2% or whole....ughhh so much fat in those.
Went walking/jogging with the roommate and we ran a lot! She is trying to lose 20 pounds and I have 4 more to go to obtain my 130 pound goal by November 18!
Burn 460 calories out walking during 1 hour and 11 minutes. Also worked out in the weight room today for an hour doing nothing but arms, back, legs, and abs exercises! My body is gonna hate me and love me all at the same time tomorrow!

Day SEVEN
I am proud of myself for sticking with this for a week solid. It really does take some motivation when it's time for bed to get up and actually get online and type these entries out.
Today I freaking burned 1250 calories!!!!!!!
Breakfast I had 3 waffles with about a tsp of butter on each and 2 tbsp syrup on each. A serving of syrup is 1/4 of a cup! That's a lot!!!!
I walked my morning walk after that.
My roommate made biscuits so I had one biscuit. She also made these fried biscuit ball things with sugar and I had 2...they were damn good. Today total I had....6? I justify that they are small. Lol.
I had about 5 cups of water today.
Lunch and dinner I finished off my healthy pizza. Sooooo good.
I walked downtown a lot at the park today and then this evening my roommate and I walked together so I kept my metabolism spiked throughout the day.
