The past 3 days have killed my butt. It's so sore. My upper back is, too. I only did cardio today because I think my muscles can't take too much weight training right now. There were still squates, dips, lunges, etc, but not with more than 3 pounds and done for cardio. Tomorrow my plan is to do a quick ab video, 8 minute arms and length swim. I want to focus on upper body because I'll be on my feet all night at the club. W00t w00t. Gonna be a fun, busy weekend.
I really think that swimming is the best workout for me to burn calories and slim down. I want to swim for 2 hours every week in the winter, but I know that's not going to happen. I can at least swim for 1.5 hours and maybe even try to skate every week. The only thing is that the only day I'm free to skate is also a day I'm free to swim. Plus it would take me all day to skate at York because of the bus and other crap. Maybe I'll just try to skate Saturdays in King. Kyle said he would skate with me. Plus, my mom always wants to skate. Maybe there is an outdoor rink in Barrie Kyle and I could skate on. That wouldbe the best because we could go any time of night. And the Aurora rink will still be around :)
 My new years resolution for this winter will be to swim and skate more.


Today I ate:

cereal and coffee with milk and sugar

2 apples

salmon sandwich and a glass of milk

whole wheat pasta

Let me just say that I hate the people on health kicker that blog about how they stay skinny IF:
they mention that they eat very little (like fewer than a healthy number of calories)
they think they could stand to lose a few pounds if they are already skinny
they do not give an empathetic nod to those who struggle
they  make it seem like being skinny takes care of itself without being an issue of balancing emotions, stress, work, family, kids and a million other obligations
they sound like they naturally have an amazing body type (this one is out of their control, i am just jealous)

My goal this week was to get a lot of sculpting done and even if I didn't have time to do a long workout, to fit in a quick one.
Sunday and Monday I did a long, tough workout and my ass was killing me. Tuesdays I can't fit in a workout, but I managed to do 8 minute abs and I didn't use a noodle in the deepend at work so that I fit in some more leg work. Tonight I was able to fit in my homework, dinner with Laurel, a 45 minute dog walk, a 20 minute workout and a quick reflection of my lesson plan. I feel more like my old self able to fit more stuff in. I need to get more done, what's wrong with me these days? I've been useless and exhausted. I need to take care of my health and make it a priority or else I can't get anything else done!! I haven't even coached this semester! : ( I have however fostered a new relationship with Kyle, stayed skinny and worked a lot of extra shifts.
Tonight after I got in from walking the dog I tried something new. Yesterday I realised that I can do my Mel B video on my exercise bike instead of doing step-touches like she does. Then it can be some cycling 4 limb that I'm doing. I need to do the moves slowly because last time I did it I killed my joint, but Mel B is not a trainer, so I forgive her. There are a lot of problems with the workout such as using one weight to do exercises for small and large muscle groups, the tempo, Mel's poor form and the repetition of doing the same move for a whole minute, but on Wednesday nights when I need something fairly brainless, its perfect. So I did 10 minute arms on my bike and then 10 minute abs. I think next time I can try 10 minute cardio or advanced cardio, too. I think the advanced cardio was good, but the cardio section was shitty.... I forget. I don't like how she does everything standing in the same spot, but I like it a lot on my bike. I think I just solved a big problem for myself and made the money I spent worthwhile.
Oh and I ordered a new video. Mom is getting me one for Christmas so I decided to get one for myself to save on shipping costs. They are both advanced videos because I am finding my videos are becoming much easier. I will try the advanced ones first without weights. I am sure they will be too hard for me at first and I will need to build my cardiovascular abilities as well as my muscles, but I can do it if i am well-slept and I push myself!!
I like how Kyle seems to really appreciate the fact that I work out.

Today I ate:

usual breakfast

lunch:
whole wheat cheerios (70cal.) and milk

large tripple tripple (w/cream, I needed  it, I also had a caffeine pill with it and I was only comfortable)

cheese sandwich with mayo on whole wheat


5pm - apples, yogurt, granola


dinner - chicken caneloni (so much cheese and salt) lots of rootbeer, ice cream and cake

the caneloni and rootbeer was empty useless calories but I only had a tiny cake and ice cream. laurel and i split a small portion. It was probably a 1000 calorie meal. if i had gotten salad and water it would have been better, but i can't do that every time i go out. The caneloni was cheaper, anyways.

Okay so I DON'T have an eye infection, but I think I have a headache that is causing eye soreness. All I can really do is sleep a lot and try to get over this cold. I slept last night, took a nap today and now I'm going to sleep. I'm not setting my alarm tomorrow, either.
I did a sculpt video for 30 mins today. woot. I think that's it until Monday.

Today I ate:

usualy cereal, coffee

cottage cheese, tea

rice cakes

pasta

tea

pasta

neocitran

Okay, I need to be honest. I have been skipping out on myself because I have been underslept. I need to GO TO BED EARLY so that I can wake up early and work out so that I can have a FABULOUS BODY and be HEALTHY.
Right now my throat is sore. I stayed up late to talk to Kyle a couple nights this week. Legitimately I couldn't have helped the fact that I lost a couple hours of sleep Sunday night because my dog woke me up and then I couldn't get back to sleep. But why did I go to be d at midnight that night? I went go to bed too late! BLARGH! BAD GWEN!!!!!

Anyways, tomorrow is a new day and next week I'll get a fresh start on working out. : ) Then I can be even hotter than I am now. I've gotta stay sexy for my new man. I should probably shave my legs, too... I might pay for some waxing if I get motivated. Might start waxing my legs, too now that it's winter and I don't have to worry about what its gonna look like when it grows back. Its just hard to do it myself. I could pay to get it all, but full leg and brazillian is RIDONCULOUS!!!!!! I'll see if I ca wax my lower leg this week. There might be enough hair by Saturday morning. There really isn't any other point than to kill the hair.

I took my sister's dogs out for probably 40 minutes, took falcor for half an hour, did some plie squats and then like 5 minutes of ab work during glee. It was an easy day, but at least I did something rather than nothing. I don't know if I'll use my stationary bike and watch glee anymore. It's just so loud I can't hear the tv and I can't get the closed captioning to work.

I remembered to weigh my self at Gillian's and her scale said 4 pounds heavier than mine. I'm gonna go with me  being around 125 pounds. HOLY CRAP!! I'm SO TINY!!!! How did this happen?!!?!? I'm just gonna keep going with the workouts and eating right. I need to remember my doctor told me not to have so many sweets.

Today I ate:

breakfast: rice crispies and granola, coffee

lunch: bagel and cream cheese, doughnut from timmies

banana, tea

dinner: wrap with lettuce, tomato, ham and mayo, vanilla ice cream (should have said no to the ice cream b/c sugar), mint tea

chili, salad, mint tea

I was really hungry when I got in from walking Gillian's dogs. I need to remember to eat a big dinner to carry me through the night.

My stomach has been upset lately. I need to find out why I have had morning sickness. Oh and evening sickness today.
