Oh boy....

I'm eating a bacon, egg, and cheese as my tummy falls over my pants, remembering when there was a goal to not do this anymore. How easily I forget when there is change or stress at work. Well, I have remembered. Once I finish this delicious bacon, I will be back to my intentions of good health and eating only when I am hungry for food.

Hiatus

So, it appears that many of us have taken a hiatus from Fab & Fit.

Life was crazy for me for the past month, but I feel like I can commit to going for the next week. Next Thursday I leave for CA and Mexico City so I will have to recommit once I'm back.

Today, however, I went to the gym and then walked home which was probably about a 25-30 minute walk. Feelin' good about that!



Also, I made my lunch on Monday and Tuesday . . . not too shabby!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

help!

i've gotten so off track due to traveling and friends being in town. I've gained 2 lbs and I'm pissed. I can actually feel it. i feel sluggish and my jeans are not as comfy. there have been constant brunches, lunches and dinners out and it's not going to stop for a while. this is the first day in a while that i've actually had a chance to go to the gym!

i think my goal for this week, with looming graduation lunches, cocktails and parties followed by a 5 day trip to Colorado for a wedding....is to be more present and conscious in my ordering and snacking. Salads instead of grilled cheese, lay off the crackers and cheese and cake, drink more water, utilize the hotel's gym, walk as much as I can. i have a tendency to want to really celebrate with food and go buck wild....but my body can't handle it! WATER!!!

at least i eat less when its hot

doing ok with the exercise...my new motto is "whatever works"...back in my marathon training days (which i admittedly still miss), it was all about getting in at least an hour run every day. now, i just try to fit something in whenever i can, even if its a long walk or bike ride to run errands. the other day i barely got 25 min on the elliptical, but i figure it was better than nothin.
PLUS! when its warm, i am less of a weeny about riding my bike, and i tend to eat less when it gets toasty. i am going to look at beach house tomorrow i might rent, so i am hoping that if it works out, i will be more diligent about biking/running, and that being in the constant presence of girls in bikinis will motivate me! the newest dilemma is this: should i work out at the gym on campus, or suck it up and get a membership off campus? my fear is running into my students, esp in the locker room. what say you?

Seven for 7

Seven wine nights. That's right- i drank wine all 7 nights last week. (I am supposed to have 3, mind you). I didn't gain or lose any weight, so that's good. Part of it had to do with the fact that I was on vacation. Oh- and I only went to the gym once. Bad! Bad! Erin!

So now, entering week 7, (OMG!), I promise to stay on track! On my way to the gym now.

Move it AND Lose it

I'm ready to get back on track!

School is over and now I need to focus on exercising again. Since friends and family are coming in this week it might be a little difficult, but I'm going to try to get to the gym at least 3 times. And, lift those weights (3 times this week) that keep taunting me!


Hope everyone has a great week!
