I woke up feeling like I just HAD to throw up. I was going to try and do a run so it really bummed me out. It feels like I am just making all these excuses not to get out and run. It's ridiculous because I always end up getting some form of exercise in anyway (like taebo or walking later in the day) but still...guilt 


 

 

 

 

 



Along with myself feeling awful, my baby girl had a really high fever all last night. This morning she still had a fever (although thankfully down) so I definitely didn't want to leave her to go running or drag her out with me in the stroller! 

My plan is to do tae bo indoors today. I'm getting my strength and energy back and the nausea is going away thankfully. I had to force a cup of coffee in me. I tried to eat some grapes and ....well that wasn't fun that's all I'll say lol 

Hopefully my appetite will be back by lunch time. Usually after a good workout I get hungry... 

but anyways, I did my Friday weigh in today: 

Did good this week, down a pound so far! It doesn't sound like much but when you get really close to your goal weight, losing just one pound is soooo hard! and considering I was sick all week and barely able to exercise, I call that a victory!!! AWESOME!


 I'm not really pushing for weight loss as much now but mainly inch loss. I obviously want to lose 4% for my dietbet and challenges with sparkpeople. This is pretty much my last phase of being in a deficit. After all these challenges end I'm transitioning to maintenance officially! 

It's weird to think that I will be in my goal range finally... and finished with my journey. Just kind of weird for me. Once I hit maintenance I'll continue with toning and muscle work because I'm sure I'll still have the tire lol. Probably always will...and that's ok :) 

Yesterday I cooked a really healthy lunch and enjoyed it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


So that's whole grain rice with a LOT of broccoli and grilled Tilapia with pepper and garlic salt. For some reason my stupid phone would not take a clear picture so sorry for that. (I think it was the steam)

I also added a bit of avocado for added flavor and nutrients. It feels good to eat real food. Not diet food, not fast food, not chocolate, just real food that fills me up and tastes good! 

In other news I got a call for a couple interviews. They sound like great jobs but I would be away from the kids...the job I have currently allows me to be with them but is pretty pitiful as far as pay ...so I'm conflicted as usual. 

Well that's about it for today. Gonna work a bit, get my workout in, mom chores, etc. Gotta get caught up! 

Have a good strong Friday everyone!!
