May 19th-refocused and back on track

So, I won't say that the train derailed, but I will say that I lost my focus just a little. I have not gained any weight back, but also just have stayed stagnant for a month. So, a month after my last post, I am back and re-energized and ready to go. Well, really, I was ready to go on Monday and it has just taken a few days to get back to the blog. I decided on Monday that it was time to really focus on me again. I had some of my grad school friends in this past weekend and we spent Saturday night cleaning my closet. Seriously! I offered to go out to a bar, but they wanted to play "What Not to Wear" and drink wine. So, we did. And my closet looks amazing. I think I have 3 bags of clothes for Goodwill and two bags of shoes to donate to the shoeman to help buy water filtration systems for Haiti.

As I walk in my closet, I see all of these really cute clothes that would look so much better on me if I got to my goal. This serves as great motivation. So, Monday morning came and I decided it was time to start writing it all down again and getting the exercise in that I need to to feel good about myself.

So, here we go:
Monday-
Breakfast: Greek yogurt, blackberries
Lunch: 1/2 Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, cup of veggie soup from Panera
Dinner: 3 chicken tenderloins with Rogan Josh sauce, 1/2 cup brown rice
Dessert: 1 dark chocolate almond cluster

Tuesday-
Breakfast: Honey Nut Cheerios
Snack: Chai
Lunch: Turkey sandwich, Fiber One bar
Dinner: Pork Chop, carrots

I went running on Monday and took 4 painful seconds off my 5K. It was not easy to run-maybe all of the wine over the weekend was the problem? :) Last night, I did Jillian's "No More Trouble Zones". That workout DVD is a killer, but I can safely say that my trouble zones are all sore today, so it did what it said it would do.

I am feeling good and healthy this Wednesday morning. I am committing to getting back to the blog. So, for those of you that are still out there, bring on 2010, the year of trimming the fat (my closet is done!) because I have determined that YOU CAN'T TUCK FAT IN!
