Very happy that my weight did not skyrocket after not working out yesterday, and then binging right before going to bed!

Unfortunately though, I'm exhausted today. Even though I have time to work out (unlike yesterday), I don't know if I will be able to because I am just so tired! I am starting week 2 of the 100-pushup challenge, which I should be able to do, but I don't know if cardio is going to happen today... All I want to do is sleep! I think I may be getting sick.

I'm proud of myself today though... my mom bought TONS of chocolate (I am not pleased with her) and I have not eaten ANY of it! This was easy for me yesterday because I wasn't around the house, but today I'm around a lot, and usually boredom leads to eating, but not today!

I found a new drink I really like... after reading MORE research about the benefits of green tea, I had some for breakfast. Then, I had to run to 7-eleven to pick something up, and I came across Arizona Diet Iced Green Tea with Ginseng... a huge can for 99 cents! I felt good about drinking it because it was cheap, hydrating, 0 calories, and is full of benefits! I am going to see if they have it at Costco next time my family goes, so we can stock up :)

I think the heat is starting to get to me... the constant sun and outdoors are wearing me out! Maybe I'll just walk on the treadmill... better than nothing, right? :/

Hope you all are doing well!

So I'm a little upset. I've been doing harder workouts than usual, and I've been quite active. The problem is, I don't feel like I'm losing any body fat. In fact, I feel as if I have gained! Yes, I do think my legs are a bit more toned in some areas, but there is fat covering it! I am so frustrated, I don't know how to get rid of the fat. I thought consistent working out would decrease my body fat percentage, but it doesn't seem to be doing so :( And I don't feel any thinner.

On the plus side, I went to dinner with my family tonight. I usually don't eat Mexican food, but we went to the only place where I will eat it. I had fabulous grilled scallops, which were served with guacamole, cilantro dressing, and a tropical fruit salad which was made with papaya and mango. I didn't eat the black beans, though I did eat the rice. And when we got home, I had some decaf coffee and a little piece of the funfetti. However, I decided that would be my last taste of this batch!!

Hopefully the scale will budge a bit tomorrow... it jumps 3 pounds after I go out to eat! Though it usually comes off quickly, it has been particularly stubborn as of late.

My run this morning was awful; I think it was a combination of the humidity, heat, wind, shin splints, and I got awful stomach cramps. So I only did 28 minutes, 3.5 miles. I had to blow off my plan to do 4.4 miles and a few hills, which was really disappointing. But I want to get back at it tomorrow after work, even if it is a relatively short run. I'm sick of going 3ish days between runs! I think consistency will really help me, and I need to stop making excuses!

Another awful day eating-wise. My sister and I baked funfetti cake, and coworkers ordered pizza. To top it all off, I ate all of that (plus a bit of grilled chicken) after 9:30 pm! Ugh. A disgusting ending to a really really fun night at work.

I am finding that I will eat, even when I'm not hungry (I had pizza at work, and was not hungry when I came home, but ate funfetti and the chicken anyway). It is so frustrating, I'm not quite sure why I do it.

Another non-workout day, though I did spend 2 hours cleaning our attic, which actually was more strenuous than I expected it would be. Also work was more active than usual, because my coworkers and I waged war on one another (trying to throw each other in the pool, water balloon fights, etc) and then got to go off the diving boards and down the slides after all the patrons left. Still, not nearly as much activity as I'd like, especially considering I pigged out.

So frustrated....

So today was good and bad. I was exhausted allllll day, which was a big bummer. I think it may be this past weekend with my friends at Cape Cod catching up with me. Anyway, I got was a lot more active today during the time I'm supposed to be teaching swim lessons, because the first hour's worth were canceled. So my fellow guards and I spent the time going off the diving boards and chicken fighting, lol. And I went on a Starbucks run for all my coworkers, and only got a tall iced vanilla latte (90 calories, not bad for Starbucks drinks!). So that was good. Then I went to my other lifeguarding job, where my manager and I had a fight with the floaty noodle things for a while, and I got chased around deck with various water carrying things, so I wasn't totally sedentary lol.

However, I was planning on running today after my lifeguarding shift, but thunderstorms prevented me going outside, and my excessive fatigue kept me from doing anything at all. On top of that, I went out to dinner with my mom and sister. While I was proud of myself for not completely pigging out on the free bread and ordering a salad at Cheesecake Factory, my mom, sister and I all split an appetizer, and then I kept tasting my sister's pasta dish. We finished with decaf skim cappucino, and I had some of the whipped cream from my sister's dessert. Then when we got home, I had 2 homemade sugar cookies.

So yeah... the willpower thing is kind of a major issue. I know that avoiding sweets will keep me from wanting them, but HOW am I supposed to avoid homemade sugar cookies?! UGH.

So tomorrow, I plan on getting up early to go for a run. Not as long as my 7.7, but I want to do 4-ish, plus a couple hills and Day 2 of the Hundred Pushup Challenge.

I'm still having a really hard time with the 40-40-20 ratio of eating, though... lately the fat percent has been through the roof! :(

Hopefully I don't wake up feeling too gross in the morning.
