Feeling good.

So I got back on track today- I didn't do any cardio yesterday because I didn't have that "rawr" in me. Instead my family and I went out to dinner for mother's day at Casa del Rio. It's this quaint little Mexican place in downtown Waukesha, Wisconsin. I had chimichangas- which were so good. When we got home my parents had gotten an ice cream cake so we all had a piece of that. Just to let you guys know, ice cream cake is the BEST. Today, I got my ass back in gear because I actually had energy unlike last week. I still have some of the cold left but nothing that kept me from working out. I did my usual workout, circuit training, elliptical and ladder drills. Total number of calories burned = 1900. Not bad I must say.

Another great thing that came about this past weekend that actually surprised me, was that my dad bought me two t shirts from Kansas because he had an NSCA conference meeting there. I got the shirts when he got home, and I looked at them and they were smaller then usual-size medium. I'm not going to lie- I was scared to try these t-shirts on. The reason is because I have never been anything but a size large or larger and I guess I was scared that if I didn't fit into it I would disappoint myself. To my surprise I fit into them- I was so happy! I just couldn't believe it, I can't tell you how much I've wanted to fit into a size medium, its a like a milestone in my journey. Some of you might think its stupid but when you put on a shirt or pants that are smaller = best feeling ever. I'm working hard to get to 200 this week. I've hoovered around 202 for the past 3 weeks and I want to see 200 on the scale this coming saturday. Got any words or encouragement? I could sure use some.


 
So these are my first size medium t shirts. Hell Yeah!

  12. Very cool major to go into. I was a physical education major but then I decided I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. I'm at wctc for surgical technician. We should probably find each other on facebook or something to chat ;)
