-50: Saturday 2/13
I took a page out of MF and MW book and took 2 spin classes today. So I was on a spin bike for a total of an hour and 45 minutes giving it my best. I was so exhausted afterwards...ready for a nap but its was awesome. So awesome that I joined La Sports Club. I have taken Step, Boxing and Afro Brazilian Dance there an have loved them all. I will say I got a good deal (2 months free) and with no contract I thought I would give it a shot. They do have my favorite machine, the ARC Trainer with TVs attached. This will at least get me through the next 4 months.

-57: Saturday, 3/7
Here is me taking time during this post to give a shout out to MW and MF. You guys are doing awesome with your workouts and healthy eating. I am so happy for you. It will be great experiencing your journey with you so I guess I cant change jobs until you get where you need to be :).
This week has been challenging for me but its basically bringing my issues with procrastination to light. I work well (I think under pressure) but I feel horrible when I am pushing deadlines and cutting it close. When it comes to academics I am a perfectionist but I have to stress myself out to get the A's I want. I need to learn how to calm down and space things out more effectively. I feel like I am always running around doing something. I need to take more deep breaths and prioritize a little better at least long enough to graduate. I walked pass a sign at the university today that said 79 days to graduation. Now isnt that a relief. I just need to push through and relax. After this is all done, I can concentrate more on my workouts and not feel guilty about using valuable time working out instead of researching for a paper or reading for class. I can take an hour out of my day for exercise. Everything else will get done eventually, right?
Sidebar: MF, I just watched the After the Final Rose ceremony for the Bachelor and I was about to throw up watching Jake and Vienna dance (and kiss) to On the Wings of Love. Now, I am a hopeless romantic and yes, I am single right now (my excuse is ride on the fact that I have no time for a social life with school) but something just doesnt seem right with those two. I hope they get married but she just seems so phoney to me. Oh well, we will just have to see. On that note: Best of luck to Molly and Jason who recently tied the knot. I guess Im a sucker for RRT (relationship reality tv). Now since all that is said.....
Today I went for a jog/walk (yes, outside) with MA during his pt session. We walked/jogged in intervals jogging for 4-6 minutes at a time. Some of it was hilly, which really got my heart rate up. I thought about the Army 10 miler and how I need to start preparing for it since my foot is healed now. I was so sad when I was dealing with that foot injury and just wished for days when I could run again. Well those days are hear and the winter is almost over so I have no excuse.
Food:
B-granola bar, coffee
S-apple, fruit cup
L-turkey and swiss on wheat, skinny vanilla latte
S-small salad with lettuce, tomato, small amount of cheese, spoon of dressing
S-2 hershey kisses
Exercise: walk/jog (45 min) plus abs (15 min)

I read your comments and yes, you are right. I was thinking to myself before my post, "I am doing the same thing that I am telling them not to do" and being closer to my goal weight does not help, nor does the comments that I have been hearing about how great I look. I am more likely to say, Oh, I will make it up tomorrow. I am almost there. But I am not where I need to be so I need to keep going. Today has been super busy, but I will attempt to get in a strength training workout this evening. I really do not want to considering I got 4.5 hours of sleep last night and just got out of class but I will see what I can do.
B-whole wheat 100 cal bread with pnb
L-whole wheat wrap with turkey, lettuce, tomato
S-trail mix
D-muscle milk protein shake

Yes, the food is getting better. Must do them both at the same time. Summer will be here before I know it.
