Exercise on my day off!

What the heck? I get killed by my trainer on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and I have to add more to my workouts? Okay okay...so they say it will be worth it...has been so far. Although, I have hit the plateau. So I guess I need to ramp up the cardio...uhg! I dont mind the weight training and the crunches, or even the squats...but the cardio just makes me say "NO"! I'm too tired! I made up for it today, I started walking home from work where Haley met me at the top of the hill...walking from the Provo River Bottoms to the top of the Orem hill...tired! Then we went to the storage unit and rearranged the boxes and brought several home with us. Then we hauled them up the stairs! Cardio and weight lifting in one! Wonder what Emily has in store for me tomorrow morning? I hope I can sleep!

So today for dinner I made chicken teriyaki rice bowls....of course it was brown rice and steamed brocolli and carrots with chicken breast and homemade teriyaki. Yum...

Cold weather warrants comfort food!

I am not sure how I will manage weight loss during the Fall and Winter months when all I crave is comfort food: mashed potatoes, apple pie, creamy soups, shepherds pie, homebaked rolls, fresh cookies from the oven, pumpkin bread, need I say more? you all know what I'm talking about!

I have been fluctuating between 164-158 lbs...but, I have fallen off my diet wagon, that is eating specifically the foods outlined in the books Flat Belly Diet and Abs for Women.

My trainer has been killing me during out workouts. I dont feel them til the next day, which inevitably means I can't move a muscle.

More training tomorrow...uhg! Can't some one just give me a magic pill that will help me lose the weight and get in shape while I sleep? Sorry, no such thing! DARN!
