Well I don't have my list of all that I ate today with me....and right now I'm in my warm bed really not wanting to get up and get it. But my calorie count today was exactly 1600 calories (back on track!).
Vitamin: yes
Water: 12 glasses
Exercise: 10 min elliptical, 15 min walking, 15 min weights.
**I just now realized I've been spelling "exercise" wrong this entire time. Hahahaha. Ohhh goodness. I am educated. I promise.

Crazy stuff happened today- planned to go jogging with one of my friends. In the middle of our phone call I hear huge crashing sounds, a "wump!" and the call ends. Weird right? Turns out my friend had a seizure and fell in her house! She has epileptic seizures every once in a great while- still so scary. She called me minutes later, a little freaked out and having no clue what had happened. Thankfully, she's ok right now.
Other crazy thing- ran into an old friend from elementary school, ended up hanging out and I found out so many people I knew from high school are married! It's just a weird thought, that's all!
Food: Special K w/soymilk, Eggo waffle w/1 tbsp almond butter, a large flour tortilla w/non-fat refried beans and a slice of cheddar cheese topped with some salsa, Tall Skinny Iced Latte w/sugar-free Vanilla syrup, a light peach yogurt, a cup of cranberry juice, cooked broccoli, spinach and zucchini, followed by a glass of soymilk.
Calories: 1260
Water: 9 glasses
Vitamin: yes!
Exercise: went on a 5.4 mile walked, came home and did my "Cardio Max" workout dvd.
Tonight, my bro Aaron and I watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory- I forgot how the movie is so off the wall! The movie really makes me want to eat some candy. I'm so glad there is none in the house! :)

L: YES!!
Finally! All of this working out is starting to pay off. For the last few weeks I've been fluctuating up and down in terms of weight...not really seeing any drastic changes. Until this morning, I stepped on the scale...and....YES! 2 pounds down. Finally.
I've noticed changes in my body as well, I've been doing some work on cardio as well as lifting weights recently. People have told me that my arms look like they're toning up, and this morning at the gym I was able to wear a pair of shorts I've avoided since last year. Woo Hoo!

C: Week 2! D 1
Got a little pink today while jogging! Make a fantastic discovery too- this whole time I've thought I've been going about half the distance I actually am for my jogs and walks! The google maps, walking feature is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
This coming Saturday I have my first every 5k! Woot! All of my jogging and walking is to train for this event, and I've been terribly worried because I've been thinking "I've barely jogged a mile and a half, how am I gonna go for 3.1 miles???" Thank goodness for new information! So as of today I have jogged a full 5k! YAY! So no more worries about being able to go the distance on Saturday.
Food: instant oatmeal w/milled flaxseed, a glass of chocoloate soymilk, a med. banana after my jog, 2 eggs on top of 2 slices of toast with minimal butter on each piece. A tall iced skinny latte, one light strawberry yogurt, a glass of vanilla soymilk mixed w/1 tbsp of almond butter, and 2.5 tbsp of almond butter as a snack.
Calories: 1385
Water: didn't count it, I want to I just forget to...
Vitamin: yep!
Exercise: jogged 3.6 miles, walked 1.2?
I loved today! I did my 5k distance, and (yes there's more!) I got a call for a job interview come this Thursday morning!!! (In celebration, my dad bought me a Starbucks- hence the Tall Skinny Iced Latte!) Wish me luck!

L: Day 7
Whew. Well I sure got a wake up call today.
I lost motivation to write down what I was eating...thinking that I could keep track of it in my head. NOT. Major fail there. I looked over it again-I went over by about 300 calories. Woops.
It's amazing how fast those calories add up.
I've been losing a little motivation when it comes to writing down EVERYTHING that I eat. So this is my motivation. Not messing up like that again!
My day in review:
Special K cereal, 1 string cheese, 2 protein bars, 2 cups yogurt, 1 granola bar, 1 orange, 1 big bowl of grapes, 1 serving scrambled eggs, 1 bag 100-calorie Chex mix, 1 hamburger (patty, plus bun and cheese). I ate mucho today. Goodness.
Total calories: 1850 arg. but after all this is what this blog is for. complete honesty.
Water: 12 glasses!!
Vitamin: 1
Exercise: 20 min elliptical, 20 min bike, 15 min walking on the treadmill (more like hiking), with the incline set at 6.0 and the speed at 4 MPH.

I'm so tired... this is going to be a short post
Food: Special k w/soymilk, Eggo waffle w/almond butter, watermelon, light peach yogurt, chocolate soymilk, 1 1/2 slices of toast w/almond butter, 2 eggs w/mushrooms, spinach and garlic, air popped popcorn.
Calories: 1234- lol! No joke!
Water: 12 glasses
Vitamin: yes
Exercise: walked 5.4 miles with two 5 lb. weights- arms were so shaky after! And I'm gonna be feeling the affects tomorrow for sure.
Also on a cool note- this week I've lost 4.5 lbs!!! That's pretty exciting to me! I also have a light sunburn from today's walk too. Wear sunscreen people! It's better that way! :)

L: Day 6
Nothing too exciting to report today. Just keeping at it!
Calories: 1590
Water: 8 glasses
Vitamin: YES.
Exercise: about a two mile walk or so (possibly more) with my puppy.
**My ultimate goal for myself (mainly for this summer) is to get back to the size I was last summer. I was by no means "stick thin" then, but I felt confident in my own body. For motivation (starting with the 90 day challenge..about 3 months prior to this challenge), I took pictures of myself in some clothes and swim suits that I fit into last summer. I looked back on those pictures when I was having a low motivation day, was craving too much food, or just needed a good reminder as to why I was doing this challenge. I'm toying around with the idea of posting those pictures, as well as the weeks progress, so it's not only motivation to myself, but to others of you who are possibly reading this. Trouble is, I don't know if I'm that brave yet. I don't know....we'll see.
