Sorry it's been a few days. Life has been busy. I graduated today which was fun, but it was a really long day. And I did have a few snacks, but I think I earned it. I weighed myself this morning and I was 190.6lbs. I'm so close to 190! I would justl ike to lose at least 3 or 4 more pounds by the end of June for me to be satisfied. I realize that I'm a little behind but there's nothing I can do about it. I think once I do get the first 10lbs out of the way, I'll feel like I can do this. I was supposed to get a new elliptical today but it ended up being too late so my mom is coming this weekend to help me go get one. So once I have that back, hopefully on Saturday, I'll start working out more consistently. I did work out a little this week - I went for a run and did some workout videos, but I feel like it'll be so much better when I get another elliptical.
The weather's been nice lately so no problems there, and I have been making sure to eat extremely healthy. Even today I did my best. I had a side salad at dinner with my chicken, but I also had a dinner roll and swiss chalet sauce but oh well. For lunch we were at a luncheon so I had to choose from what they had. I had a salad and a sandwich on one piece of multigrain bread and some fruit. The bad food came in at the reception - I had one onion ring, a spring roll, a mozarella stick, a tiny meatball, and a piece of pita bread with some hummus on it. Obviously not good food but I only had one of each so I didn't go overboard. Then they had a chocolate fountain so I had 2 chocolate covered strawberries, haha. I couldn't resist and they were so so so delicious! But tomorrow I'll just have to work extra hard to be healthy. I likely stayed under or around 1500 calories today because the bad food that I did had were very small, so I'm confident today wasn't a total write-off. Plus I probably ended up walking around campus today for a good 45-50 minutes because we had to park so far away. I did my best with what I was given and I did treat myself because after 4 years I deserve it. One day won't be the end of this weight-loss.
I was planning on working out tomorrow but I wore new shoes today and they are so sore, so I don't know how they'll be tomorrow. I've also been having this weird problem when I work out, which started towards the beginning of the year when I began working out again. My right foot gets incredibly sore when doing anything after about 15 minutes. I thought at first it was because I was out of shape, but last year when I was working out and heavier than I am now, I didn't have this problem. Then I thought it could be my shoes but all of my running shoes fit and they aren't too tight and it happens no matter what pair I'm using. Even the shoes I was wearing last year to run in do it and I don't know why. Maybe I injured my foot at some point? But it doesn't really feel like an injury. It just hurts. It does feel like my shoe is too tight and it starts getting tingly but I've been keeping my shoes loose. It's so weird and I hope it stops because it gets very sore and annoying and I sometimes have to stop working out. That's why I like the elliptical - because I'm not constantly taking my foot off the ground, it takes a lot longer for it to start bothering me and I can work with it bothering me a bit. I'm really not sure why it's doing this though.
I think that's about it for now. Hopefully by Monday or so I'll be able to order my new iphone case! Not that I'll get it unless the Canada Post strike ends but I'll have ordered it anyway! And then I'll focus on getting to 180 so I can get a pedicure! And I adore pedicures so you know I'm going to work hard to get to that point so I can spend 40 glorious minutes sitting in a massage chair! It can't come soon enough.
