Peaceful Body, Peaceful Mind

weekend fail.

yeah, so, on Saturday i helped throw my younger brother his high school graduation party. it went great, but there was a LOT of food, and thus, a LOT of sampling on my end. add on about four beers, and i officially hate myself.

then monday i had to work a double, so to get out of work for a bit i left for my lunch break. for WHATEVER insane reason i decided to go to CiCi’s Pizza Buffet. did i mention pizza is my favorite food? what about the fact that there was dessert there? i completely forgot all about weight watchers and everything, and i don’t even want to think about it now.

so, in order to attempt to recover, i’m on my way to the gym for the second time today. ughhhhh.

thank me for my laziness later, tumblr.

so one of the perks of being home for the summer is that i live with my mom and she does weight watchers too. so usually she’ll just make meals big enough for two and give me my serving and calculate the points and i have to do virtually ~no work~. its friggin’ sweet. usually. but tonight she was all “i’m going out, fend for yourself for dinner !”

that bitch.

so i decided i would make my only go-to meal which is pizza muffins. i pretty much just throw sauce, cheese, and turkey pepperoni on a sandwich thin or english muffin, throw it in the toaster oven, and call it 6 points.

so i get out my english muffin and realized we had NO FAT FREE SHREDDED CHEESE and NO TURKEY PEPPERONI.

so i had to use makeshift ingredients which, for an extra point, came out better than normal.

-english muffin
-tomato sauce
-one slice of provolone cheese, shredded and divided between the two halves of the muffin
-proscuitto

and i officially love myself. and it’s like 7 points. you’re welcome.

what did you guys do today?

today (which is a work day) :(

pre-workout snack: whole wheat toast (1pt) with a tiny bit of peanut butter (1pt); banana
post-workout breakfast: hard boiled egg whites (0pts); bagel thin with strawberry cream cheese (5 pts)
lunch/dinner/work break: egg salad sandwich (one egg, one egg white, mustard, light mayo) on whole wheat bread (5pts); banana yogurt (2pts)
snack: orange (0pts)

which leaves me with 15 points to eat a post-work (10pm… i know that’s bad but i don’t have time ! ) light meal & a few brews :)

sorry, fitblr, for neglecting you lately.

since being home from school i’m working full-time and taking a summer class so the bad news is that when i have free time, i want to be outside. the good news is that i’m doing well & staying active !

so far this week :

monday - 45 min. turbo-kick class (all cardio) and 45 min. tummy tuck and butt lift class (all strength)

tuesday - took off since i was car shopping all day and went out at night

wednesday - 40 min. jillian michaels cardio circuit DVD

thursday - 45 min. “triple fat burner” class — combination of strength, core, & cardio

today - 45 min. “mega mix” class — combination of step aerobics & kickboxing

& tomorrow i plan to take a 45 minute step class !

so all in all the workouts have been good, i’m getting in 5 or 6 days a week. the eating has had its ups and downs, but i’m doing a good job maintaining so that’s what counts =)

how is everybody ?!

i need something fresh

something new to keep me motivated. i’m sick of weightwatchers, i’ve done it for a year now and i’m starting to resent it. i want to lose five more pounds but i can’t seem to consistently write down what i eat. ugh !

without these baby’s i would not be running the mileage i do.

food log

830 am - two multigrain/reduced fat pancakes + 1 tbsp apple butter 3 points

915 - 10 am - 45 min step aerobic class

1145 am - yocrunch fruit + yogurt parfait 4 points

lunch break — anticipated 4pm - egg salad (one egg, one egg white, light mayo + mustard) on 1/2 whole grain pita pocket 4 points
mixed veggies + 1 tsp olive oil 1 point

evening snack - 100 calorie pack cocoa almonds 3 points

this sickening heat & my rock-bottom mood are taking a huge toll on my appetite… i’ve been having trouble finishing my points (at least in a healthy manner) & nothing sounds good to me ! :(

i was craving a milkshake…

& my mom came up with the BEST solution !

2 tbsp sugar free pudding mix — your choice of flavor
1 cup milk or almond milk
1 tbsp fat free cool whip
ice

blend it up and it tastes JUST like a super thick milkshake & it makes a lot… so good =) only about 3 points !
