Feeling the Burn

Weekend Summary:
This weekend Rachels brothers came to visit. I didn't drink any beer though despite the many attempts her brother made towards me playing beer pong. Instead I made a mix drink with Vodka and cranberry and sipped on it all night. I only took one shot and that was because the whole group got together and took a toast together. I was proud of myself. The part that was more difficult for me was the fact that Rachel made pizza and baked cookies AND had a bag of munchies (aka cheese its, pretzels, doritos, and rice square's) I did my best to resist temptation. I didn't eat any of the pizza and I had one cookie and I picked out like 4 cheese its. It wasn't the best but it could have been a whole lot worse. It was honestly just further evidence that this has become a lifestyle change...(still could use some work) but in the past I wouldn't have thought twice about having 2 slices of pizza, 3 or more of those cookies, and I would have periodically munched on those munchies the whole night through.
I worked Sunday night and I did NOT do well on eating. I munched on County Line food all night long. I very much regret it and have again decided to completly cut off county line food all together. Cold turkey. Lindz and Whit said that they'll still allow themselves a salad which is perfectly fine by me, but I think if I'm going to pull off the quit then I'm just going to have to make the rule that once I step in the building I'm not allowed to eat anything unless I brought it from home.
As far as working out goes I did alright. I jogged a mile and did strenght training with Whitney, Brian, and Boo and I'm still sore from that work out! I didn't work out on Saturday because I was still so sore (I did take charlie for like a 10 min. jog if that counts) but other than that I called it a day. Sunday I didn't really work out either because I slept in and then cleaned everyones messes from the night before and then went straight to work.
First Day of the Week:
Today Whitney, Lindsey, and I did a Jillian Michaels TV work out (hour long) and it was rough! I missed Jillian though and it felt good to get all hot and sweaty and thinking "shit, shit, shit" the whole way through. She knows exactly what I need. Then Whitney and I took the dogs out for a jog. It was the perfect start to my day and now I'm ready to take on the world. I bought the newest Instyle and Shape magazine and they gave me a couple of pointers and here is one I thought I'd share:
-Your skin is firmer when you avoid foods with high GI levels. (lower carbs=leaner face/firmer skin)
Well Whitney is waiting on me to go tan so I'd better be off.
Mom CONGRATS 33 lbs. is awesome! I'm really proud of you and I'll prolly be coming in on Sunday this week so we can hit up the track.
Until next time,
