Sorry I've been MIA!

Hey y'all! Sorry I have been soooooo MIA!! It's been a crazy week!! My sis graduated from college, I moved to a new apartment, and I babysat my 8 month old niece the past two days!! It has been crazy busy!!

I have been doing TERRIBLE at my calorie counting... we've gone out to eat a couple times, and when I was watching my niece, I ate whatever I could in the 5 seconds I had!! She is so freaking adorable!! And since I live about 2 hours away, I just love getting to see her whenever I can!! Here is a few pics of my little cutie!

Lunch Time! Green Beans and Peach Puffs!

Play Time!

She just melts my heart!!

Okay, I went to bootcamp with my sister in law.. (cutie's mommy!) and WOWWWW! It kicked my booty! Two days later, and I am still sore and can barely walk! But, it hurts sooooo good! Haha! We did a lot of weight lifting, lunges and pushups! My arms feel okay, but its my legs and booty that are killing me! Sitting down to pee takes like 5 minutes as I slowly lower myself down!! I plan on going next week too... it will probably take me the whole week to recover and be able to walk again!!

As I said before, I have been doing a terrible job on counting my calories for like a whole week! No bueno!! But, the only thing I can do now, is get back on track tomorrow, and push myself in my workouts!! I signed up to do Color Me Rad, which is a 5k, so I have about 3 months to get myself back in shape to run outside! I also decided I am going to do a half marathon! I haven't decided when and which one, but I have decided to do one! WOHOO!!

I know I missed Weigh In Wednesday, but I promise I will tomorrow, and post a new picture from my sister's graduation!!

XOXO,

Weigh In Wednesday!

Hey All,
I have lost another pound this week! Wohoo! Just four more weeks til my trip to Arizona, so I just have to keep working hard!! Here is a picture from a wedding I just went with... I am with my best friend, Marie! We were sorority sisters in college and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding! She lives 10 hours away now, so I haven't seen her in 6 months!

Sorry it is so dark... I took it with my cell phone!
I am the QUEEN of mac and cheese. I love it. All kinds!! So, when I saw that Wendy's has a new side of mac and cheese, I just had to try it! And, I must say, it is pretty darn good!! It is REALLY cheesy!! The portion size is fairly small, and its 370 calories, so I had to plan accordingly today, but it was well worth it! I recommend giving it a try if you are a mac and cheese lover like me!!

I also completed my last final today!! That means it is officially summer time for me :) Until my summer classes start May 15th... I only have about 2 weeks, but it is a much needed time away from school, homework and reading! I think I am going to read "50 Shades of Gray" over my next two weeks... I have heard a lot about it... so I want to see what all the buzz is about!!

Until then, I am gonna focus on getting some really good workouts in!! Elliptical today, 20/20/20 tomorrow and running/weight lifting on Friday!! What's your workout plan like for the rest of the week?

XOXO,
Lindsay

First Experience with Cycle Intervals...

HOLY CRAP!! I just got back from the gym, and the fitness instructor kicked our asses today!! My favorite class is called 20/20/20... which is 20 minutes of cardio, 20 minutes of toning and then 20 minutes of whatever the instructor wants... could be yoga, carido, deep stretching, pretty much whatever! Well, today, she decided we were going to do cycle intervals for 30 minutes and then abs for 20 and stretching for 10... not exactly 20/20/20 but whatever.

The first thing I have to say is that I am pretty sure whoever invented the bikes made the seats as uncomfortable as possible! I am pretty sure I won't be able to walk tomorrow!!
Secondly, WOW. I've done intervals on the elliptical and treadmill, but it felt like NOTHING compared to the bike!! We were changing the resistance, sprinting, standing up, hovering, and sitting down every 5 seconds... okay, not really, but that's what it felt like!! I always try to go to classes taught by the same instructor, her name is Liz, because she is awesome and really motivating... and she remembers everyone's name, and really makes you feel like you are kicking some ass. Well, Liz kicked my ass today!! But, I have to admit, now that I am home, I loved every second of it!! Maybe not at the time, but I feel awesome now! I am leaving for a mini-vacation to Arizona in 4 weeks, so I am really working hard!!

So, if you have never tried a cycling class, I definitely recommend it, but beware, the seats are really going to hurt!!

How is you week going? Have you ever tried a cycling class?


XOXO,
Lindsay
Ps. Here is a picture of my progress.. these are the capri's that I usually work out in, and they are getting to be too big!! Ignore the scars all over (2 surgeries in 3 months= 6 beautiful scars), the stretch marks and the fat... just check out how big the pants are!! :)
