Boring day at work. Been teased with rain all day long still nothing...... been eating on watermelon and cantaloupe all day long. Just haven't really wanted much of anything else.

Cardio: 25 min walk run 1.19 mile with Teddy, 19 min walk run 1.19 by myself. I am really proud of Teddy since this was our first time running together and had a run in with a bunny who distracted him. Poor baby crashed out in front of the fridge as soon as we got back lol. I hope he is up for running more

Rough patches throughout the entire day.... and day 1 of new diet well I forgot to get a few things.......but didn't cheat and did good. Trainer decided that since neither of us wanted to listen to the powerlifters lift and drop weights we took to the streets for run/walk cardio combo. So for an hour we kept moving he even threw in 50 yards of walking lunges for good measure lol. Got home and took mom's teacup poms for a run up to the top of the street than back and grabbed Teddy for a little jaunt and brought the male pom with us cause he was still hyper. All the dogs are laying down napping!!!! Tomorrow I will do today's workout at the gym. I get off cheaper with the trainer this week

I honestly feel like I have been moving an entire house with my legs... I guess this is to be expected when learning to run???? Today was a off day at work due to stuck in docs office so long. Late for my afternoon snack which started making me cranky and wanted to stop anywhere for something bad but didn't. Don't feel like I did a good workout today but I know I did. I didn't have my trainer there pushing me harder.... Ready to get my legs thrashed tomorrow!!!

In all honestly I didn't want to do boot camp tonight but trainer said go light on cardio and do boot camp..... yeah ok thanks!!! So it was 6 exercises done in a ladder effect... so 50 jumping jacks, 11 burpees, 4 man makers, 20 cross over mountain climbers, 10 suicide squat jumps and 10 plank rows...... 300 jumping jacks, 55 burpees, 13 man makers, 40 cross over mountain climbers, i ended up doing 30 suicide squat jumps and 20 plank rows. Not to mention while my partner was doing her exercises I was going up and down the stairs!! Then we had to do 24 upright rows, 24 bicep curls and 24 tricep extensions with a band for good measure... I think I just found the house I have been pushing today!!!!!!!!!

I thought about food all day long. I won't lie. I wanted to eat anything and everything that wasn't glued down but refrained and looked at the posing suit I want. The most I ate that wasn't on my menu was 5 servings of air popped popcorn which my trainer gave me 2 thumbs up for. Today was a might tough day from the start. My eyes literally didn't want to open, forgot stuff, cold all day at work...

Hit some new personal bests today and totally skipped cardio. Felt like I have overdone it a bit and thought it best to not push it tonight. Going to weigh in with trainer and measure tomorrow. Ready to see how many inches I have lost and what his scale says

Nothing interesting to report from weigh in except body fat % slowly dropping am at 32%, gained a .25" in my calves and thighs and lost .25" in the waist. I still don't like his scale it reads 2 lbs heavier than mine

Taking it easy tonight and only did 39 min of light cardio. My body is exhausted and I think I was close to hitting a wall. Slammed my protein shake and ate a lil peanut butter to help me through till morning. Noticing I am usually famished by the time I am waking up. Really wish I could eat some junk food right now but not giving in! I will wait till my refeed day which is 6 days away. Saturday will be hard going to get just coffee from my vegan bakery and not any yummies. I might buy one and save it for refeed day! It is only 8p and I am getting ready to turn in for the night. And fall asleep watching the Tour de France!

Diet way off all weekend with yummy high carb junk food lol. Was playing around with recipes to see what would work and what wouldn't. I found a awesome zucchini brownie recipe that I was able to convert to vegan. Got tomatoes and peppers in the freezer for the winter. Need to organize the deep freezer to stock it up for the winter

My sister went with me to my trainer. I am hoping she continues to go with me. I want to force her but know it isn't wise that she has to want to go and save her own life. She wont' have to pay one cent for this all she has to do is go with me and it is paid for even if I really can't afford to pay for both of us. Her life is more important than my coffee addiction and I can go back to eating super duper cheap.

Today I feel like a greased pig!!! I made some brown sugar body scrub and used it, then put on my cocoa butter lotion and wiggled into my spanx after letting the lotion absorb in some. The things I am trying to do to get my skin to shrink up!!!!!!!! I can say that I have some really soft skin like a newborn !! Love that feeling

Pain pain go away I am so freaking hungry and tired of apple butter and peanut butter mixed together! My mouth still hurts and have a feeling tomorrow won't be much better.

I did get some applesauce and protein shakes down too but those really didn't stay with me that long
