Cherry bomb!

Dearest Readers,

Today was just an oddly rough day. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.

I was having motivation problems in every part of my life today, and even skipped most of my classes (I'm a full time university student).

I managed to keep most of my eating down to a minimum though! Breakfast was egg whites and a small glass of OJ, and lunch was just some carrots with light Asian dressing, and a cereal bar. All in all coming into dinner my calorie total was around 500. I felt very accomplished.

A friend of mine came over to cook for me and some other friends tonight. I tried to keep everything to a minimum, and even made a point of filling up on salad before we brought out the stew he made.

I had promised myself that I would only have one small bowl of it ahead of time, and I did manage to stick to take thanks to divine intervention. I thought the stew was amazing, and had already started bargaining with myself to have another half a bowl. But lucky for me that since I had taken so long eating the first bowl there was only broth in the bottom of the pot when I got up. I was thankful that something stepped in on my behalf and was looking out for me! It's exciting that I didn't end up blowing my whole day (even if I did have a breadstick or two =/).

Unfortunately for me since I didn't make any of dinner tonight I have no idea what the hell the calorie count is... guess I just have to assume a lot =/ The other unfortunate part is that I didn't get in a work out today. I was planning on doing pilates. There is still some time to get it in, but I'm extremely exhausted from doing nothing all day, and need to get up early for work in the morning.

I know I know, I'm making excuses but I will get my workout in tomorrow! Come hell or high water I will be working out tomorrow! It's going to be a challenge too let me tell you! I'm not lying when I say that I'm a very busy person, and tomorrow is one of those days. Literally the first time I will have more that 10 minutes to myself to work out, that is not booked with friends and such will be after midnight! But fuck I will get it in! Hold me to it! I WILL get that work out in!

This is for the record why I love when my muscles are sore after the gym. Every time my muscle aches it reminds me to work out. Working out even helps stretch out the muscles so they hurt a little less. Today is the first day since Monday that my muscles haven't been sore and look where the hell it got me!

On a good note though, when I ran to the grocery store earlier to get some ingredients for dinner tonight I found something amazing! Kraft makes a "Free Caesar Italian" dressing that is only 25 calories per serving! It tastes fucking amazing too! I rarely have it anymore, but Caesar dressing is my favorite! Totally horrible for you, and has a days worth of calories, but still my favorite! This was a very exciting find!

One last note. I've been considering doing water fasts on Sundays, just to get myself ready for the week and such. It seems to be the perfect day for such a thing, since I'm not needed first thing the next morning, and I'm usually just sitting around doing homework on Sunday. Besides, tons of people still fast on Sunday, right? Health permitting I'm going to do this!

Until later,
