Day 33: Back to the Grind

I did it! I got up early and went running this morning! The temperature dropped this week, so I went from mid-80s in Phoenix to low 40s in the morning. The first .5 mile or so was pretty rough, but I kept going. I did go out to lunch today, but that was because I was just back from traveling and someone asked me to go. I'm not happy about that and I'm probably going to have to do something about it eventually, but...blah. Yet another "I was just trying to be nice" scenario :(

Workout:
- Ran 2.54 miles straight with a total of 3.25 run/walk

Do:
- One thing of cereal for breakfast
- I went running!
- No snacks in between
- Soup and bread for dinner with no dessert

Do Not:
- Soda
- cookies

Day 32: Travelin' home

Didn't work out today. Had to leave too early and was shot all to heck by the time I got back (rough landing). Hopefully I can get back into the swing tomorrow.

Workout:
- None

Do:
- None

Do Not:
- A lot

Day 31: Buffets Day 2

Right, so it was another day of meetings. I told myself I wasn't going to work out this time, but again, I was already awake, so I just went to work out. And again, I screwed it all up with the food provided. But dang, that chocolate cake was good!

Workout:
- Ellipcital, weights

Do:
- Not much

Do Not:
- Too much :)

Day 30: Buffets!

So the meetings started today. It was much less scary than I thought it was going to be and it turns out that the guy I'm traveling with is actually pretty cool. I was worried it was going to be really awkward trying to be social. So, I got up really early and worked out before the meeting today. Basically, I'm still on East Coast time and I couldn't sleep, but it worked to my advantage. Then I destroyed all of that effort with the food provided and eating out. Oh well, at least it wasn't a total loss!

Workout:
- Sprints, push-ups and crunches

Do:
- Not much

Do Not:
- Way too much

Day 29: Leeeaavvviiinn' On a Jet Plane (Week 5)

Headed out to Phoenix today. My eating habits were shot all to heck, but I got to know my Mission Engineer much better. AND I tried to take a nap when we got to Phoenix, but couldn't sleep, so I went to work out instead. And that was after Cheesecake Factory. Yay me!

Workout:
- Weights
- Ellipcital Machine

Do:
- Smoothie for breakfast

Do Not:
- Too much to even talk about :)

Day 28: Peanut Butter

I'm learning that peanut butter is a weakness of mine. That means I have to get it out of the house :( I wish there was a way to get, like, half a loaf of bread. I don't think I'm going to be able to eat it fast enough. Business trip tomorrow. I'm really nervous about it, even though I shouldn't be. I really hope everything goes ok :-/

Workout:
- None

Do:
- didn't go out for lunch or dinner

Do Not:
- Soda
- Chips
- Hot Chocolate
- 100 Calorie Pack with Peanut Butter

Day 27: Yikes!

Hunger Games is kind intense! Like, all the reviews said so, but I didn't believe them. I didn't really like any of the characters, but I'm still glad I saw the movie. Anyway, I had Sno-Capes during the movie. My bad. I did get some other stuff done though, including taxes which is a huge relief. Also, so I was doing my waist measurement today and I got it to come in anywhere between 38 and 40 inches. That was pretty frustrating, but I think ultimately I put inches on this week :(

Stats:
- Weight: 201.0
- Waist: 39.25?

Workout:
- P90X Core Synergistics

Do:
- Not really much...I had eggs and a couple pieces of bread with peanut butter
- Worked out

Do Not:
- Sno-Capes
- Panera (soda and brownie)
