Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

First day off

My feet are killing me! I need new work shoes for sure. Oh and remember how I checked in saying my eating was a-ok, well it stopped being a-ok yesterday so now I need to get that back on track as well as my DAILY exercise. I forgot to weigh myself on Friday because I had to be at work at 6am and just passed out when I got home.

BLAH! I wish I could just get into the new swing of things already!!

I’ll start today :)

blah

Sorry about being absent guys. I started a new full time job that has me there at 6am, which I hate and I’m totally not used to. Eating habits have stayed good, but working out has taken a back seat for the last few days. Lame I know. I’ll get used to it soon and have my energy back. 

:)

If you’ve lost one pound. If you’ve lost a hundred pounds. If you’ve kicked your junk-food habit. If you’ve eaten a vegetable today. If you walked a block today. If you ran a mile. If you put down a glass of Coke. If you drank five glasses of water. If you’ve cut 1000 calories or if you’ve cut 100, take a second to marvel at how far you’ve come and how far you’re able to go.

  • Pricey new running shoes
  • Counting calories
  • Keeping journals
  • Looking like crap, because I can’t be bothered styling my hair [gym in the pm]
  • Not being able to sit because of muscle pain
  • Leaving my warm bed to run in -20
  • Running in thunderstorms and up big hills
  • Getting up early to pack for the gym
  • Wanting nothing more than to watch TV, but then going for a run
  • Missing out on drunken fun nights with friends
  • Not being included in ‘McDonalds Office Runs’
  • Ordering salads over fast food
  • Going to bed with no desert
  • Skipping the popcorn and M&Ms at movie theatres [damn, that’s so good]
  • The price tag of each race
  • Skipping horse riding for runs [sad times there]
  • Pushing through shaky arms/legs in the gym
  • Saying no to a free chocolate bar
  • Walking past the (delicious looking) sandwiches in the office
  • Ruining my styled hair for a workout

I think what people need to understand is that a diet doesn’t necessarily mean cutting down your food - just cutting down your junk food. When you only eat healthy food it is hard to eat more than 1500 calories without feeling like you’re stomach will explode because you are giving your body the nutrition it actually needs, not the rubbish your mind wants.

hellyeahrecipes: Sweet Potato Crisps 1 medium sweet potato (about 8 ounces), scrubbed 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Slice the sweet potato into very thin rounds (1/16 inch thick; use a mandoline if you have one) and place in a large bowl. Add the oil, paprika, and salt and toss with your hands until thoroughly coated. Place the slices in a single layer on 2 baking sheets—the rounds can be touching but should not overlap. Bake one sheet at a time until the edges of the chips curl up, the centers are just golden brown, and the tops are dry to the touch, about 12 minutes. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the chips cool until crisp, about 3 minutes. Using your hands, carefully transfer the chips to a serving dish. Repeat with the second sheet.
