Monday, Monday

Today was a tough day for me, I had a tough time getting out of bed and I was extremely tired all day! It could be because I did not have any coffee until the afternoon. My eating habits today were not all that great! For brunch I had steamed veggies and chix over white rice with peanut sauce. oh and a spring roll. They were all so tasty.... For dinner I had hot and sour soup and a like it cold stone ice cream!
I went to Yoga, which made me feel really energized after and has made me ready for bed. Hopefully tomorrow I can work on eating a little healthier and I am thinking about going out for either a bike or rollerblading adventure!

30!!

Today is my birthday and I am officially 30! In the last few years, things have been tough. I have gained a ton of weight, have not eat all that healthy, was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and now have to take medication because of it. After losing my job in January, I went through 3 months of doing nothing! I lost 5 pounds after my job ended! I did not have to sit at a desk and eat snacks all day. I would sleep in until 11 or 12, what else did I have to do. I did not do much with myself other than laying in bed and watching countless hours watching TV. I even had a TV schedule. For the last month I decided that I needed to get myself up and doing things. Stop wasting my life watching TV. While visiting a friend in NH, she mentioned that she was going to Curves. I first did not think I wanted to go to a gym that had a circuit training work, however they were having a deal at the time for a 1 month trial. I have been working out hard since about April 8th. I went to Curves between 4 and 5 times a week and I also tried to walk if at all possible. I lost only 1 lb, however I lost a total of 4.5 inches. Even though my trial period is over at Curves I still want to keep up my workout routine. I want to feel better about myself, be in shape, have more energy, be able to do more and not be as tired.
I hope that blogging helps me keep track of myself, keep my goal of losing weight and feeling better and healthier.
These goals will start today on my 30th birthday.....
