binge recovery
So, after eating fried chicken and cake yesterday, I show up to work today and there is ANOTHER cake, and the owner of the store basically forced a piece on me, after which I felt defeated and had another slice and a potato with onion dip. I couldn’t even go to the gym last night. But I’m gonna bounce back. No giving up, no starting over. I had an apple, a banana, and some steamed...
starting over.
I was working a litttle bit ago and I was thinking about all the little bad habits and personality flaws I have and abut the mistakes I’ve made and where they’ve taken me, and how my life isn’t really what I want it to be. It got a bit overwhelming for a minute or two and I felt kind of hopeless. But then I though, “why can’t I just start completely over?” So...
project may mid-week-3 update
Good things about today:
I made it all the way through Jillian’s ripped in thirty week 1 workout, which I couldn’t do before.
I got more fresh produce last night, so this morning I had a banana-berry smoothie and around lunch I had sauteed mushrooms, onions, spinach and tomato with a scrambled egg on a whole wheat wrap with salsa.
Bad things about today:
I keep telling myself not...

starting week 3 strong.
I went to the gym this morning with my roommate and we bought month passes so now I have an excuse to go more often.
What I did:
30 minutes on the elliptical (305 cals)
Leg press- 6 sets of 10 reps at 140 lbs. I assume this is pretty wimpy but I have no idea, I’m such a noob when it comes to weights! But I saw somewhere online that you’re supposed to do your body weight so...

Do you mean real meat sauce is called ragù or sauce made like mine with textured vegetable protien?

end of week 2 of project may
I have been doing pretty terrible this week. I only made it to the gym once and worked out at home twice, had fried chicken strips yesterday and on v-day I had chocolates, ice cream, bacon and tater tots. But other than those slip-ups I ate healthy and vegan the rest of the week, and the one day I hit the gym I worked out HARD. My body is starting to tell me when I’ve had enough to eat and...
glee reactions episode 10
Every time I decide I like Puck and then he has a cute scene like that food fight with Quinn making me totally fall for him and want him to be with her, he has to go and be a douche and sext Santana and say things like he’d still sext all the hot girls in school while fathering the baby. Maybe I just really don’t think either of them are mature enough to be the father. I don’t...
I feel much better now that my fridge is full of...
When I run out of healthy food and start eating junk my roommates/boyfriend have, I lose my will to work out, and that messes with my sleep and combined it all just makes me feel crappy. But now everything should be back on track :)

my throat hurts :(
I hope it just has something to do with being up all night or something I ate, because I have managed to go ALL SEASON without ONE COLD OR FLU and I don’t intend to get one now.
In all honesty it might be from all the paint fumes I accidentally inhaled while blow-drying a jar I painted this morning.
Or the holes I burned in my esophagus from swallowing a whole pepper after Mr. Schuester...
glee reactions episode 9
I kind of have to go with Puck here, when he gets in that fight with Finn. Of course everyone cheers for Finn because he’s the “good guy” and Puck’s the “bad boy” player who sleeps with everyone, but even so, he’s the one who steps up. Finn, meanwhile, is flirting with Rachel and whining about his life. I know it has to suck for him since Quinn is such a...

He left peace, and for the first time, he felt pain. He did it for me, for us; for that, I cannot help but worship Him. He is worthy, and I am grateful. At the very moment this was posted, there were approximately 6,988,083,565 people on earth. You probably only know less than a hundredth of 1 percent of that number; however, God knows each and every single human being on this planet...

What are some good, protein rich post-workout...
grassylunatic:
Going straight to work from the gym means I can’t do something like make a smoothie or scramble eggs. I’m headed to the grocery store soon and have no idea what to do about this! Help, please!:)
My favorite is almonds. I get the dry roasted, no-salt-added ones from Hy-Vee Health Market and pack a little baggie of them to take with me to work in the morning. Be careful not to...
Went to the gym.
Borrowed a fiver from Mark and spent a good thirty minutes on the elliptical. 400 calories gone! :) Aaaaand….first weigh-in of my Project May: 146! Down from 165 at New Years. From now on I’m going to weigh in once a week. I’m doing my progress in pictures on another blog but since people I know follow this one you just get stats! :) Anyway, I feel great now and even though I...

To go to the gym or not to go to the gym?
I really feel like working out on the elliptical but I literally do not have five dollars to get in. Do I bum it off of someone or suck it up and do my workout dvd?
Ugh.

more observations from rewatching Glee
I feel like Rachel and Puck have much more chemistry in just the little bit they were together in episode 8 then Finn/Rachel or Puck/Quinn have had the whole time so far. I wish they didn’t end it so quickly. Also, I really love Quinn’s outfit at the end of 8, and her hair is so much prettier down.

rewatching glee from episode 1
I had completely forgot about Puck’s cover of sweet caroline in episode 8. His voice is like honey…oh my gosh. I can’t even handle it.
