So I am half way through day 3. A challenge that I faced yesterday was feeling munchie in the evening. I know that I still made healthy choices but I probably ate way too much for just going to bed. I need to keep that in check.
So today involved going to the gym for workout #2 and some intervals on the treadmill. I would say I probably worked out for a good 80 min. I feel so motivated right now and I hope that I can keep it up. I need to schedule it in to my day and I have to get in done.
I am doing prep for my meals on Thursday and friday. I have my favourites and for the 1st 3 weeks I will probably stick to them just until I feel like I have things a bit under control.
I am hoping I am able to get up early enough tomorrow morning and get a 4K run in before going to work. I used to run all the time in the morning before work so I am going to do my best to get back into it. I will make sure I have everything ready for work that I just have to take a shower when i get back.
I am going to rock out these 2 days at work and stay on track. it is just 2 days I can do anything for 2 days (of course a lifetime but I know it will be rough the 1st 3 weeks)

day 2
So I am really feeling the workout that I did yesterday. It hurts but in a good way. I do like it when my muscles hurt enough to know that I worked out but can't stand it when I am struggling to sit on the toilet etc. I am kind of close to the feeling but not quite. I was able to run/walk 3K which I had really debated on doing and was going to just go for a walk. I really need to focus on my running and build up my endurance again. I am so sad that I let it go for so long but am making it a goal to get it back!!!!
Last night at work was a great example of why staying on track at work is hard. I did not get my supper break until sometime after 11. We were busy and when were busy you don't really have time to even grab something quick. A few things that were at work were a couple of desserts and a couple of bags of popcorn. I did not have any…yay me. I find night shift especially hard for wanting to snack all the time. thankfully i had prepared enough in my lunch bag to not have anything that I shouldn't have.
tomorrow I am hoping to do 4k run and then go to the gym for workout 2. I have to do this. I want to feel and look better for our cruise :)

10 week challenge
This summer has gone by so fast. The weather has been ok. We have had some hot days and some cool days. I would say this has been the coolest summer (weather wise) that I have experienced since moving here.
Well I just signed up for 16 weeks of the on-line program (again) with J. This time I have promised myself that I will take it seriously and do the workouts and eat as clean as possible. I am done with having a hard time going shopping, with feeling fat and miserable. I know that when I was exercising regularly and eating healthy I felt so happy and content.
So in 10 weeks we will be getting ready to go on a cruise with the kids. I want to have 20 lbs off by then which would be 2 lbs/week which is realistic. I know I can do it if I stick to the plan. It would be so nice to not have to worry about not having any clothes to wear. I am going to ST 3x/week and do my best to run 4-5x/week to build up my endurance. I need to take it slow and know that walk breaks are ok as I have not run very much in the last 9 months.
I am going to make sure to meal prep and my snack at nights will be a healthy smoothie instead of my pop and a snack (which usually ends up to a few snacks). I need to work on just 1 pop/day too. I drink way to much diet pop and would love to give it up but it is just too hard for me to do that. Maybe one day I will stop drinking it.
Well I am working tonight so I am going to have a nap. I walked 6K and did my 1st day of strength training so I am sure a sleep will come easy (or at least I hope it does).
