700 calories today! I exercised on the elliptical and reach 700 calories, something that used to come so easy, but as of recent hasn't been reached...until today :) It felt great to exercise for more than 30 minutes too. I am once again getting pumped up and excited for being this motivated and this accomplished. It's just so difficult figuring out portion control. I'm eating so much, but I'm doing a lot of strength training and cardio. I think that it'll have to be about eating the right foods and then I'll have to focus on portion control in a month or so. I need to eat more chicken breast, salad, and fruits throughout the day and in 5 small meals. Because I've been out of work, I have been grazing quite frequently as well, which obviously doesn't help when I'm trying to track how much I'm eating throughout the day. Phew! Anyway, as long as I'm not gaining weight, I'll be content. If I'm losing weight, I'll be happy. And once the weight is gone, I'll be so ecstatic! 

I might've already posted this song, but mmmm it's so good

Oh Snow....Please Don't Stay

It's snowing..and if anyone in the northwest is reading this, you'll know why I want the snow to go away. I love snow, don't get me wrong. I love the way it smells, looks, feels. I love that transforms an ordinary day into a magical one. However, people in Portland don't know how to drive in the freaking snow! It's so irritating. I heard a rumor once that it took six hours to get from one side of the city to the other (normally about a 45 minutes drive). I could have driven to California in that amount of time! So, yes I would like the snow to melt away. That way I can get to the gym. It has been two days and I'm not loving it! I find myself getting irritable from the lack of physical activity. Ugh...anyway. I've been eating fairly healthy the past few days, minus the enormous amount of peanut m&ms the other day. Seriously...like 50 of them. I just had a huge craving for them! Gross. But, I'm still maintaining my weight. Haven't lost anymore, haven't gained anymore.


Okay, I have been listening to this song for days now. I can't get it out of my head. I think I'm just super boy crazy right now and it makes me feel good haha
