I kicked my own ass today!

...and it felt GOOD! Before my workout today, I drank a NOS energy drink. Now, since I became a "Health Nut" I've sworn off of these evil things. But if you had seen the crap I ate the past 2 days, you'd understand why my workout needed an extra kick start today.

First of all, I'd like to announce that Sprite is a gateway soda. True, it is an extremely healthier alternative to Dr. Pepper or any other dark sodas. It's got no caffeine but the bubbles and lemon-ey taste is just right. However, I'm the type of person that can't have just ONE of anything. Oh, your wedding has an open bar? I'm gonna drink until I puke and then drink some more. Oh, you're not gonna finish your fries? What kind of person throws away fries? Give 'em to me! I do everything in excess, which is my main struggle with my weight loss journey. Anyway, before you know it, 
I'm on my 4th Sprite and have had no water. 
My advice is just to stay away from all sodas if you're weak-minded, like me.

Yesterday my boyfriend and I we're craving sweets. I ate a honey bun and a pack of donuts. I slapped myself after I read the calories. What a fatass move! The day before yesterday, I binged on cookies at work because my stomach wouldn't shut the hell up. It shut up alright. I was stuffed with sugar and couldn't sleep that night.

So, today at the gym, I did my usual 3 miles on the treadmill (off and on incline), and still had so much energy left over, I decided to try the arm machine. I'm still not sure what it's called but it's like doing pushups sitting down. I alternated between 10 and 20 lbs weights. And THEN, I wanted to take advantage of all this energy, so I hopped on the elliptical. It might not be the actual elliptical. It's more of a gliding machine, with a stepping motion? I don't know. I guess I should learn my machine's names.

So anyway, here's an updated picture of me this week. Nice and sweaty. I know I'm gonna feel it tomorrow, but the fact that I'm covered in sweat and my stomach is louder than the engine in my car must mean I burned enough calories today. Also, I think those energy drinks aren't as dangerous if you put them to good use. You get health problems when you sit down on your wide ass and let yourself bloat up.
