News and Stuff

Goodmorning Girls,

This week has been wonderful diet wise. I'm so excited about working with Julie and I love my meals and that I have so many choices. Today I get a cheat meal. I've been having trouble deciding what to eat because I'm not really craving anything (which is definitly a good thing). I've finally decided to sesame chicken w/o rice, extra broccoli, 2 raisin cookies, and 3 sugar free dark chocolate cherry cordials. The raisin cookies are so amazing. I get them from a bakery at the farmer's market and they're basically cookies that are stuffed with raisins. Sooooo good!!!

Yesterday was the first day I did Julie's weight training plan. It kicked my butt!! But I'm not as sore as I thought I would be. Yesterday was quads/back/abs and 35min of interval cardio. Today is delts/abs/plyo. My weight has been steadily dropping all week. It's nice to see big changes on the scale each day. Tomorrow that will probably not be the case because of my cheat meal. I'm worried about the sodium most of all so I'm really hitting the water hard today.

In other news...I am NOT pregnanat!!! LOL, let me explain. So, there has been this weird stomach flu that has been going around our area for like 2months now. It's like a 12-24 hour thing where you feel like crap and then you're ok, but lots of ppl have been getting it 2-3 times before it's finally really over. Well, as you may remember, I had it on New Year's Eve. It came back!!! Friday morning at like 2am, I woke up feeling really weird and weak, sometimes my blood sugar gets low so I thought it was that. So, I woke Derrick up and asked him to get me 1/2 an orange and some water. By the time he got back from the kitchen, I was puking in the trash can :-( , I felt better and then I fell back asleep. I had to be to work at the gym at 4:30 in the morning. When I first got up I felt ok but as I started getting ready I started feel nauseaus again. I didn't throw up but I was like, there is no way I can work 6 hours. So, I went into work and started calling ppl to see if they could sub for me (yes, at 5am, I'm now their favorite person). No one could come in so I finally called the owner and he ended up driving in to work the front desk. Derrick was so worried about me that he followed me to work and stayed with me until my boss came so I could go home. I have such an amazing husband. Oh, so back to why I'm not pregnant. So yesterday, I had to work and instantly ppl were like "you've had this stomach thing 2 times this month, maybe you're pregnant" and I keep saying "I'm not pregnant". Finally, this one woman I work with would not take no for an answer, she was like "how far along do you think you are?"....even though I know that A-I'm on birth control B- I have PCOS C- I have a bicornuate uterus, all of which makes it really difficult for me to get pregnant, it still started freaking me out a little. All I could think of was "I do not want to have to start contest prep all over again in 9 months" LOL, isn't that terrible???! So, this morning I finally went to the store, got a pregnancy test and peed on the stick. Sure enough, I'm not pregnant!!! Derrick and I want to have kids...eventually but he's in grad school and working full time right now and I have like 80 jobs so there's just no way right now.

Ok, that's the end of my stories for the day. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day!
