day twenty-six

I wish that the way my body feels and the way my body looks would reconcile.  The number on the scale is still up from my food failure this weekend, but I really feel like I was crushing it at the gym tonight.  Twice through the ab circuit, and my new thing lately is to see how quickly I can burn 100 calories on the treadmill.  I had two days over 13 minutes, and (with the help of some motivational videos Mike showed me at home) I really pushed myself tonight, and did it in 11:51!  

I went over to the bicycle and started pedalling, at 12 minutes in I didn't know how I was going to make it to 30, my legs were burning.  But I honestly just kept pushing through it, one minute at a time, and I was grossly drenched in sweat, but it felt great!  I made it to 35 minutes/224 calories burned.  Then I decided to do biceps/triceps/chest machines but actually put in the effort to get to my maximum weight possible...about 30-40lbs because I am a weakling, haha.  But my arms feel dead, and I left the gym feeling like a damn champion, minus the whole looking in the mirror part.

Mike made me a great 7-point dinner with all the leftovers in the fridge (broccoli slaw, mixed vegetables, beans) and a few potato/hash browns he cooked up in the oven, and it was fucking fantastic.  He's a good egg.  

My Points have been high the last two days, which I blame on too many snacks in the house, and lack of willpower.  When I start back up in February, I'd really like to focus on meal planning for the week and meal prepping, as well as having all my fridge food ready to go to curb laziness.  Hard boiling some eggs as I type this!
