Weigh in day!  I hate weighing myself; the anxiety I build up is ridiculous. I usually do it first thing when I get to work, the company scale is in my office, but this morning I had an appointment with my chiropractor and another crucial matter to deal with first, therefore my anxious moments were extended.

Ah, the chiropractor...heaven.  I have grown accustomed to being sore; so much so that when I am not I actually miss it.  I use my soreness as sort of a benchmark so I could determine how tough my workouts were and/or if I did it the way I should have,  For the most part I know how sore and where the soreness should be after most workouts.  With no intense workouts the last 2 weeks I've been sore less and painless. When he was working on me today, I was surprised  that I felt so much of that "good" pain while he was stretching me.  He is awesome; he starts with my feet and ends up at my head.  He worked on me for almost an hour again. I would have to say, that out of the chiropractors I've seen in the last 12 months (a total of 4) he is by far the best. You all just need to go see him!

Got my first intense workout in today at work.  A group of co-workers have been meeting on Fridays during lunch.  One of my favorite things about this wellness program at work is that people will do things, like this, even when the trainer isn't around.  In addition to that, there are people who don't work out with the trainer that participate to.  Reyna, who leads the workout, has been working out and doing crossfit type stuff for a few years now.  I was so excited to see what she was going to throw together.  THEN I noticed she was reading a workout from her phone that the trainer sent haha.  It was pretty funny.  Anyway, she is one of the 2 or 3 best motivators we have right now.  Our workout today was 200 jump ropes, 50 superman's, 50 sit ups, 160 jump ropes. 40 Superman's, 40 sit ups, 120 jump ropes, 30 superman's, 30 sit ups, then 80,20,20 then 40,10,10.  I thought I was going to DROP DEAD but I finished and I wasn't even last.  It felt pretty good to be out there with the group again.  The jump ropes we used today are brand spank'n new.  They are made of a coated cable and even have ball bearings. They even needed to be cut to size, they are pretty awesome...yup and they hurt like a mother and leave marks!  I was pretty excited to use them.

Immediately following the workout I headed back to my desk and sat down.  I was a MESS,  My breathing and my chest felt heavy.  I was saturated, dripping with sweat and my face was the reddest I've ever seen it. Within a minute of plopping myself into my chair and leaning back to die one of our VP's walked in, he stops and looks at me with this face like someone stole his Butterfinger and says, "I hate to even ask you this...But can you tell me where Kelly's BBQ is?"  I just laughed and said, "C'mon I'll show you" but couldn't budge so I just gave him directions.  Kelly's has a great all you can eat buffet...YUM!

My eating was spot on again today.  The entire week has been pretty great.  I feel so much better...no surprise there.  I'm sure if anyone goes through my entire blog they will find the same stuff over and over again.  The only method of diet I'm consistent with is the "stop & go" method.  It's so frustrating. Maybe once I get through the next 5 or 6 weeks I'll be able to maintain consistency or, at the very least, be able to get a grip on my emotions and prevent binging.

That's it for me for the week...happy weekend everyone and enjoy!

Oh, by the way...I lost a total of 9.5 lbs in the past 11 days...happiness!
