Back in California. Here until February. I have decided to go home once. But it is a super quick visit. I am going to see my sister in San Franciso over the MLK holiday weekend. Can't wait. I am sure I will get plenty of exercise just walking around.
Here is the hard part of traveling for work. Eating out. Every meal, every day. So hard to order the healthy option. I don't want salad all the time and man, sometimes that giant eclair is just calling my name.(Last night at Brent's Deli Walking distance from hotel)
I did go to the gym last night. Short work out but better than none. I was looking into joining a gym here but it's $75 for a 30 day pass to 24 Hour Fitness. Considering I pay $20 a month. That is a lot of money when I just use hotel gym. I would join if it was cheaper. Oh well, may just get a 7 day pass to check it out for fun.
I want the The Body Bugg by 24 Hour Fitness. I want it so bad. Can't see myself sepending $200+ for it though. (prices I found varied on source of sale and timing and of course if you got the watch like display) I know that right now while I am heavier I will burn more calories and as I lose the weight calories burning rations will decrease as I have less mass to lug around. I still would like to have a more accurate way to measure/monitor the calories I burn every day.
That is all for now. Going to a nice Italian place for dinner so I know I will eat a bunch tonight but tomorrow I will do a better work out at gym.

Post Christmas. Didn't lose any weight but I didn't gain either. Ended up not going to gym at all last week. Back to normal this week and then I leave for California on Sunday.
My sister is back in CT for winter term and then to finish her degree. I have missed her a lot. Glad she is back. She is going to go to gym with me tonight. Let's see if she sticks to it.

Motivation People!
I am having trouble getting motivated for the holidays. I don't know what's up. I don't want to go to anyone's house. I can't afford to go to my mom's (tickets around $500 seems like a huge waste of money). Granted most holidays I end up crying for some reason. The reason varies and it's usually over something stupid.
Right now work is slow and it happens every decemeber. I am traveling again for work and I leave in 16 days. So right now, It's filler time at work. Just trying to finish up what I can before I leave.
I am in a rut right now. There are few things that are in the pipeline to reach for over the next few months but it's all dependent on manangement. (we have temporary manager for my department) I know the things are coming aren't going to happen until we have permanent management. If the temp guy for CA wants to stay I am all for it. He is awesome but I want permanence so I can fight for a promotion I want.
The only thing that seems to help lately is going to the gym. Lame I know but it is something with in my grasp to get right now. If that is the only thinkg keeping me sane I will just have to accept it. The really sad thing is there is a happy hour tonight for a co worker who is transferring and I would rather go to the gym. The thought of going to a crowded bar I don't like to say good bye to someone I do like...
my mood is all over the place

Changes
This morning while putting on lotion I noticed something amazing.
My stomach is not as big as it was. It isn't flat but it is flatter than it was
Now when I suck in my stomach, girls you know what I am talking about, its easier and I can feel the muscles working. Lately I have been trying to suck in stomach while running/eliptical and I feel it. Maybe that is helping!!
What motivation to actually notice a body part get smaller.
Gave blood yesterday so no gym last night. Really did not want to faint on the treadmill. That would be bad. So last night ended up watching tv and going to bed at 9:30. Super early for me. But I slept really well.
Tonight back to gym. Going to start Week 3 of Couch to 5K. Can't tell you how much I love this program. While I am running it can suck but I have been building my staminia which has been my goal.
