Friday Evening

This has been a long week.  I saw my sister leave for Virgina, I worked 30 hours and went to school.  I am trying to get into my routine of working out and after work I'm really tired.  I'm going to try to work out before work if I work after 8 PM.  I am also eating only the amount of calories Myfitnesspal tells me too I'm even eating a few less.  I am gonna win this contest with my Dad!

Myfitnesspal.com is such a great resource.  It helps me keep track of my calories and my workouts it's sets my daily caloric intake for me after I tell it my goals.  I really recommend this site.  it's free to join and you can add your friends and see what they are doing too!  It's a great motivator to see my friend Amy running so often.  I really need to get in shape for the 5K in 2 weeks. My goal is 35 minutes.  I am speed walking and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a fun one to do.  It benefits Safe Harbor.  It is a great charity that gives battered women and children a safe place to go.  For more information go to safeharborrun.org.  It's only 25 dollars to register.  We have several people from work that are participating.  It's exciting to see CFA working for the community :)

My Skinny Jeans fit so well it's amazing.  I need to get them hemmed so I can wear them more often.  I am also going to be going shopping soon bc I need some new clothing items!  I bought some new running pants that have reflectors on them so in case I'm walking in the darker hours I will still be visible.  I'm really excited to fit into my smaller work pants.  I can zip them now but they are a little snug n work pants need to be a little loose for all the bending and squatting I do.

 I hope that all my readers are doing well. Let me know if you have any tips for toning under arm flab.  My arms are gaining muscle but that little fat at the bottom of my arm is still there.   I am also looking for ways to make sure what I'm eating is the best.  Right now I'm allowed 1240 calories and I often have extra calories at the end of the day so I reward my self with a little Dr Pepper but I would much rather eat something that would better serve the purpose of losing weight.  Any Suggestions?
