Yesterday I did my first full 35 minute work out in FOREVER. I felt so good about myself that I couldn’t help but lavish myself in a chocolate treat. But I’m afraid I’ve caught the work out bug. I can not wait until I get home from counseling, nom on a yogurt and then clear the area for JUST DANCE. I’m seriously thinking about nabbing Just Dance 2 from my little sister so that way I can get more of a work out in, because if I remember correctly they have a work out section. All day yesterday I was looking forward to working out the next time. I’d had this fear of it being really hard because of the weight I’m at now, and because of my asthma but it really wasn’t, it was FUN. I totally enjoyed dancing around working up a sweat (especially to Eye of the Tiger.) But I didn’t wake up in time for a work out before counseling. So work out after counseling it is!
After my work out I plan on hitting the books hard. I have to research my heroes in the Creative Writing for Entertainment field and I have three. Constance Burge, Joss Whedon, and Jonathan Larson. If you know anything about their works, congrats you have good taste. :P
August 18th is approaching and for that I am thankful. Its also FOOD WEEK! WOOO! I get to go get food this Wednesday and I fully plan on stocking up on more healthy things to eat. Last night I made enough for food for today considering how busy I’d planned on keeping myself. I made chicken breast (boneless and skinless) with cut up green peppers, mushrooms, onions, potato (cut into squares) and carrots in Italian Dressing (the low fat kind from Aldi’s) into a make shit foil dinner in the oven. Once it came out I poured taco sauce on it and OMG! It was so yummy! I made two and this time I am going to take out the chicken and cut it up better like maybe strips? I’m not sure. But besides yogurt that’s what I’ll be eat. I have a 32 oz mug that I am going to fill with water and keep by my desk so I keep drinking water. I’ve had one cup of coffee today and made sure I used a lot less sugar than normal. So far I am proud of my commitment level on my weight loss. I’m still craving Chinese, but I’ll get over it.
I had always been told that once I made peace with my past and accepted it, and moved on from it that everything else would just fall into place and I’d always thought they were full of shit. But I did. I’ve really come to a peace that everything is going to be alright. I still feel anxiety but I know its temporary. I’m not suddenly cured and will have bad days, but I just feel better about dealing with them.
So here’s to a Manic Monday!
