So I guess you can say I’ve made progress. :)
Before: 118.5 lbs, strict cardio and 1200 calorie diet
After: 112 lbs, heavy lifting (and squatting), yoga, minimal cardio, 1500-2000 calorie diet.
What’s your favorite/biggest weakness holiday food/dessert?
I can’t pick just one! Ugh! I have a huge weakness for caramel corn. But every year my family and my cousins get together and spend all day baking loads of cinnamon rolls from scratch and they are absolute heaven.
I. Love. These. Jeans.

I’m going to Panera for lunch with my sisterinlaw and I’m really glad I looked up the nutrition information beforehand. How is it even possible to cram so many calories in simple foods like sandwiches and salads? It’s absolutely absurd that people mindlessly eat 870 calories from one, seemingly simple sandwich. And I’m not blaming the people really, I just can’t believe Panera passes as “healthy” just because it’s a soup/salad/sandwich kind of place.
Always look up nutrition information before going out to eat.
I think I’m going to get a half salad with dressing on the side. That’s usually the safest bet.
I was sweating like crazy and I absolutely love backbends. Today I did Kathryn Budig’s Backbending Sun Salutes video. I’ve done it before and it’s one of my favorites.
I’ve also decided that camel is one of my favorite poses. I love it. I was able to get a bit deeper in it today.
Yoga always makes me ravenous, so time to go find something yummy to eat!
So I’m watching TV and a General Mills commercial comes on asking why cereals don’t have whole grains as the first ingredient. This got my attention.
The commercial then went on to show the label, instantly circling the first ingredient in red, then speeding off to another shot. Not so fast, General Mills! I went back and paused on what GM thought they could hide.
Look at the second ingredient… and the third… and the fourth… and the fifth… That’s all sugar.
Dear General Mills, stop portraying yourself as a nutritious breakfast. Oats and four different kinds of sugar aren’t nutritious.

I haven’t done weights in 13 days. All I have to say is “ouch.”
Sounds like a good time, let’s do it.
