Parting it on the side

I have been doing a lot of working-at-home this past week because we have been slow at my day job, so hours have been scarce. That means I haven't been to the gym as much this week.
The other day I did some time on the elliptical. The first 3 minutes were tough, but once I got myself moving, my muscles loosened up and I was on a roll! I was up to about 4.3 mph, which is pretty good since I am still not comfortable RUNNING on the treadmill. (Let's face it, thing jiggle!)
My legs were pretty sore after, but my ankle has finally stopped bothering me! Yay!! I was getting worried since it hurt a lot last week. I was worried I would actually have to go to the doctor for it.

I still have yet to have a period since the first week of January. I started to take the vitex again. (I had trailed off before.) I have been feeling "off" again the past week and a half/two weeks. Either everything is all messed up, or my period is about to start (and will be miserable). Ugh! I have been tired, slow, grouchy-ish, and my tummy has been blahk. I want to eat everything and sleep. Those two things. In that order. (At least the grocery store had super good deals this week! Lol) I have been pushing myself to do a little bit of sewing each day because the craft show season is coming way too soon to not.

Last week, I was able to go in a notch on my belt, and was super proud of myself. After my "binging" this week, I had to go back. :(
One of my co-workers told me I looked like I had lost a lot of weight. I told her, "No, I am just parting it on the side."

Hopefully, it isn't as bad as I think it is and I bounce back this week! It is supposed to be nice tomorrow, so maybe I can go for a walk/jog around the neighborhood.

Happiness is...

New gym/workout clothes!

Today treated myself to 2 new complete sets of workout clothes for the gym! I figure I deserve something nice since I have been doing so well. :) JCPenny's had some pretty sweet deals, and everything is so comfortable and bright colored! Talk about motivating! (As if it was an issue.)

The weight still isn't really coming off, but my clothes feel better and I am going longer and faster on the treadmill each day. I have been drinking TONS of water and replaced any occaisional sodas with unsweetened ice (green) tea. (You would think cutting out the sugars would have had an effect by now.) Still eating as healthy as possible and watching my portions and carbs.

Hopefully the weightloss will start soon!
