Emotional Baggage

Yah, yah...so I stole that title from the one and only Tim McGraw. It really hit home with me tonight. I have so much emotional baggage...and I think it is manifested in the extra weight I carry around. The truth is I don't want to be heavy and overweight. I do know that I use it as a defense, so that no one can see the real me. I have a hard time believing anyone likes me for me. I know...I have issues :) ha!

Today was a weird day...I was doing really well with my points, etc. But then I got this overwhelming anxious feeling this afternoon.  For.No.Reason! Maybe it is stress.

I am super excited to get to the gym tomorrow...
I also can not wait for the 3 day weekend!!! My back is feeling much better, so I plan on being very active...plus the weather is supposed to be grrrrrrrrreat! :)

See ya soon!

Oh jealousy!

Fitbloggin'...I wish I was there! I am slightly obsessed this weekend with reading blogs about the conference. I wish I could go to that...maybe next year?!?!?

This weekend has been busy and lazy all at the same time. I seriously jacked up my back. Such bad spasms. I contemplated going to the er on friday night...but got myself to sleep instead! Insanely painful.  Saturday I went to the farmers market, painfully walked around and got some veggies. then I went to a graduation party for a little bit.  It was also my sisters  birthday, so went out to dinner that night. Lots of eating out.

Today I was lazy.  I spent the morning shopping for my sisters baby shower next weekend. I went by Ross and got two very cute dresses. I am starting to become obsessed with these stores!! :)

I am looking to join a weight watchers meeting on tuesday nights somewhere between Del Mar and here. I have an appointment every other tuesday night, so I figure I could just kill two birds with one stone. I will check in to that in a minute.

Groceries and gas are killing me. Why is it so costly to eat healthy??

Is it Friday yet?

I am happy it is Thursday...but come on Friday!!!

I am sitting at my desk, wanting to be outside! It is beautiful...dreaming of riding my bike along the coast! Of course the weather is going to change just in time for the weekend :(. 
It probably doesnt help that a Jimmy Buffett song just came on my ipod mix.

I will be back later with things to be thankful for on Thursday :)

MIA

Sorry for being MIA. I have been busy.  I am shocked to say that I did not turn on my laptop ALL weekend! What?  yes, really :).  It kind of felt nice. 

I hope you all had a great mothers day...we went to brunch at Pala casino...yah, not so good for the diet.  But I did very well! I didn't go to the gym all weekend....loser...too bad it is not a weight loser!

I am using SparkPeople to help me with keep tracking of what I am eating.  Tomorrow I am off to the gym. I got my errands out of the way, so I have NO excuse!

I just found out that a precious little 6 year old girl who has been battling cancer lost her fight tonight.  I can not even begin to imagine what that family is going through. I am happy for Claire who is now in a very happy place with Jesus.  It just sucks for those left behind...life is not fair sometimes.
I am going to leave you with her favorite saying ..."there's always something to believe in".

Day 1 of C25k and no carbs

It has been a beautiful weekend here in southeran California! (: I have been in heaven.  I definately enjoy warmer weather...not a fan of cold weather...I feel that if it is cold it should be raining. 

Sadly my Spring Break is over...but there are only about 6 weeks left of school! WooHoo!

This afternoon I got my butt in gear and started week one of c25k...it was hard, I am not going to lie.  I actually couldn't run the last two intervals.  ):  not good. But at least I started.  I can really tell how much weight I have gained....I felt like an elephant.  How did I let this happen???  Oh yeah, I think I got too cocky. 

After the gym I went to the store so that I can start phase 1 of the South beach diet.  This worked for me about a year ago.  I lose about 18 pounds by not eating carbs.  I am hopeful that with no carbs and training for the 5k I will lose!! I hope so...

I have a crustless quiche in the oven right now :). 

have a good Sunday evening!
