Crazy busy!

Things have been so crazy since I started my second job! I am finally able to start my healthier eating and working out now that I knocked out that cold.

Tomorrow I am going to have an English Muffin with Cream Cheese for breakfast. I'm going to bring some fruit and yogurt for snacks at work and my smoothie for on the way to work. Dinner is kind of up in the air because I have class and have not made up a meal plan yet.

I have work from 7-230 then I am going to go to the gym and hit the stair stepper for 20 minutes and then do legs. I have to do my plank and push up challenges as well! Then I'm off to class for the night!

Hope all goes to plan

Oh and the boy is being adorable as always. He bought me flowers for Valentine's Day. They were beautiful. He is such a romantic! Cant wait until he is here in May! 92 days and counting!

Starting to feel better!

Weekly weigh in: 130.7
Goal weight: 120

Finally starting to feel better after going to the doctor and getting some antibiotics! Might be able to finally start working out more! I did start my second job the other day so we'll see! And Jack sent me flowers for Valentine's Day. They are so pretty! Such a lucky girl with him in my life!

Taking a step back.

Jack and I have been talking a lot today, well the past few days. He has been trying to decide if he should come back out here or stay home in Scotland and find work there. He has been going back and forth between the two ideas all week. He said that we've been moving really quickly in our relationship. Talking about the future, years ahead. Getting engaged, married, etc. Which we have, and it is what I want. But we have only been dating for eight months so I completely understand where he is coming from, plus he is two years younger than me. So the thought of marriage already is probably scary. Which I understand. He just scared me the way he went about bringing it up. I thought he was trying to say something had changed with us, or what he wanted had changed. But he reassured me he still loves me and nothing has changed. He just wants to take time to really get to know each other since we haven't really had that chance. I understand what he is saying and now that we've thoroughly talked about it, I know that we're on the same page. There was just a small minute second where I thought he had changed his mind about me. Because honestly, I don't understand how I was blessed enough to find such a perfect man in him. He constantly seems to good to be true for me. I guess because things always go bad for me with men. I am so scared to lose him because I love him more than life. He has made me so happy and brought me out of a deep depression. I never knew it was possible to love someone as much as I love him. I know he loves me because he tells me every day, all day. And goes on about me to his family and friends. I am just so damn insecure about myself that I don't think I could ever deserve a man like Jack or be loved by him. He is such a beautiful soul and I am so happy that he is mine to love forever. He is my best friend.

Really needed to get that out, but don't really have anyone to talk to about it because he is who I talk to about everything. He is my support system and I love him even more for that.

Also my cold has not gotten better, if anything its gotten worse. Hoping I can get back into my workout routine monday. Also started this new hair product by Just Natural. It is supposed to help your hair grow longer and thicker so we'll see.

Sickness not getting better

Unfortunately I am getting worse with this cold. Going to try and stick to my meal plan and will plan to get back to the gym as soon as I start to feel better. I feel like I am ALWAYS sick.


Going to have a Belgian Waffle with fresh fruit and agave syrup for an early dinner tonight since I have class all night.

I need more Vitamin C in my life.

and only 106 days until my love is here! He is my motivation to get through school and work.

School is going to be the death of me!

WELL. I wanted so badly to go to the gym tonight. Not that I feel much better but I wanted to get my butt to the gym! I did accumulate over 13,000 steps working today, which is good! I am going to make my planned dinner of fish, broccoli and fruit. I am going to do an at home workout as well so I am not completely missing out tonight. Here is what my schedule looks like for the next week.

Hoping things go according to plan but working full-time, taking three college courses, working out and dating a Scotsmen seems to keep me on my toes!

Day One!

Well it has been an interesting couple of days. I have managed to get sick AGAIN. I had banana nut pancakes for breakfast which were delish! I had my planned Tomato Soup with a Ham and Swiss Sandwich. I did not workout today because I can barely breathe.. I hope I feel better tomorrow. I really want to get back into going to the gym at least 4-5 times a week. I also have a couple workout challenges I want to try. See you tomorrow :)
