Overall happy

I am still excited from weighing-in yesterday. 36Lbs to ONDERLAND baby. When I started losing weight I couldn't fathom being at all close to the 100's. Now? I can almost see it in the distance.

I went over somewhat on my calories today, I couldn't really estimate the calories in dinner but it definitely wasn't the rest of my daily allowance, but I also don't think it was tragically over either. I went to the gym and had a great workout. A typical workout for me right now if I have time is:

-35 minutes on the elliptical

-12 minutes on the treadmill (half running and half power walking)

-Alternating days of two or three either upper body or lower body machines

-36 crunches.

I'm hoping to soon bump it up to three minutes running and two minutes walking and immediately I'm going to be adding more crunches. On the elliptical I have my incline at a 12 and my resistance at an 11. If I don't have time often my workout is just the elliptical, but I so badly want to be a runner so I need to work on that.

With four and a half days of eating out beginning on Tuesday I'm not entirely sure how to deal with it. I know I can't eat three meals out and stay within my daily caloric allowance. My current theory is to try and make half decent choices, to workout and swim everyday and to stop eating when I'm full up. Hopefully, HOPEFULLY that will be enough to maintain. But, I'm still worried about it.

I am not doing enough school work, I sort of came to the conclusion today that I'm not doing it because I don't feel that I will ever accomplish it. I am really, truly going to try to take my strategy for weight loss to school work.

With that said, I feel happy. It's almost a year since I started losing weight and trying to change my life. And I'm just happy. Stressed sometimes, irritable others, emotional occasionally but overall happy.
