I'm finally back!

Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted in a while so I will try to fill you in. Well, when I went to the movies with Sarah and Laura I did well at STL Bread Company and had soup and salad then I didn't eat any popcorn or have any soda at the movie! I was pretty proud of myself. Not to mention that the movie was hilarious!! Also, I worked out with Laura yesterday and it was GREAT. I ran 2 1/2 miles and I felt SO good afterward. I have a much easier time when I run with a partner thought. I guess it's because I don't feel as tempted to stop whenever I want to. We ran at a beautiful park in Weldon Springs and it had a trail that was 6/10 of a mile. I ran with Laura during the first three and I was good to go! Laura was good at pushing me to run faster up the hills just because that's what she was doing and I wanted to keep up with her. I gave her a song playlist and while we were running I told her a song that was the perfect tempo for our pace. It's cool when you can be listening to the same song to keep each other at an even pace.

Okay for the bad news... Last night I screwed up anything good that I had done all weekend. I went to a wedding reception for Jessica's gradeschool babysitter. It was so much fun and it was good seeing Libby because she was the next door neighbor at Jessica's old house and would come over and watch us and Shawn when we were freshman. We had a lot of fun with her. But, as you know, wedding receptions are very bad for wanting to watch your weight. I had drinks and more drinks. Wine, Captain and Cokes, not good. Then Jessica drove us back to my house ( No one drank and drove don't worry) and I did it... I had pizza... CRAP!! The good old college "have a few drinks then EAT" thing. It was aweful and I feel like CRAP this morning. Not because of the drinks just because I can feel those late night snacks. SO today I am going to totally detox. I'm going to have some fresh pineapple for breakfast (I'm house sitting at the Darr's and they have some in the fridge, yummy!) And have some salad for lunch and if I want to snack I will just drink tons of water and have some fruits and veggies. I will run today too to try and get all the nasty stuff out of my system! So I guess I can officially say that I'm the first one who has failed on a night of our weight loss plan. I should be punished! I think if Tyler were here he would bring me outside and "fry" me as they do at the academy. Make me do push-ups, run, do ab workouts until I regretted last night. haha. He even warned me... "Don't ruin your diet, you will regret it later!" Why is he always right?

Okay, mom you should SOOOOO go onto FitTV and start tivoing a million shows! You too Alicia! I completely forgot about that. It's lik getting 10 free workout tapes every day! And They are DIFFERENT! It's so great and you should utilize it. It's also awesome because you can tape it and do it whenever you want AND fast forward through commercials! Sharon Mann is really good on FitTV. All Star Workouts are usualy pretty fun. Then of course there is Gilad who wil kick your butt (Althought Sharon Mann could give him a run for his money) and so many more you should check out. Okay well I think that's enough for now... I need to go detox! I think we should have a plan that if someone screws up like I did last nigth someone should go to their house and make them do a crazy workout... lol is that too cruel? I think it would make me think twice at least about eating so much after having some drinks. Just a cruel thought! Love you guys!! Keep up the good work!
