Still Going...

Whew. I'm exhausted. Today was a two-workout day! Every Tuesday and Thursday will be my days where I double up on workouts. I love going in the morning because it gives me energy and routine, but I also love going with Matt a few times a week in the evenings so we have that time together. The only non-workout day for me is Sunday right now. Yep. That's right. That totally neurotic girl who lives at the gym is back. My tip of the day- don't try to do tricep dips with a new tattoo on your shoulder. Ouch.

Things I forgot how much I love at the gym:
1. The rowing machine. Love. It.
2. Ability to move machines as often as I want.
3. The knowledge that everyone in that room is also trying to get through their workout and I'm not alone.
4. Having somewhere to go where it's all about me. I don't have to worry about anyone else.
5. The options! Classes? Machines? Outside track? Pool? It's nice to have options.

I've also been very controlled about my eating. Not just calories and quantity, but the quality of foods I'm putting in my body! Fruits, vegetable, and lean meats come first! A while back I quit drinking anything carbonated. It really wasn't even on purpose! We got our Keurig machine and started drinking coffee and the next thing I knew I just wasn't drinking pop at all anymore. Now it just tastes gross. It's funny how when you stop drinking it and then try to drink it again it tastes horrible and you wonder why you ever drank it to begin with. I think I'm less hungry when I don't drink it as well. It seems to mess with something in my body that makes me feel more hungry when I drink it. I have that problem with fake sugars in general.

So there you have it. I'm still alive and functioning even after 2 workouts today. Friday I will update with my Bodybugg calories burned for the week, but I'm not weighing in until November 15th. I will probably be going crazy by then but I need the routine and healthy habits down again first and the scale will work in my favor. Obsessing over the scale doesn't help me any right now so why have the added stress?
