Day 4: Whoops I missed a day

So while I didn't blog about day 3, I certainly didn't skip it. It's my most difficult day, scheduling wise, but I still managed to make it to the gym and eat healthy, which I am so proud of. I don't really remember what I ate, but I know that to make up for skipping posting yesterday, I'll do two today. I'm trying to keep myself on track, and right now that includes blogging because this is a motivational force. The big thing I've noticed is that I already feel like I am down a bit, width wise. I can see it in the workout shirt I'm wearing today and the fact that it is a bit loose on me.

It's also my favorite shirt for when I need motivation. It says "Classy, sassy, and a bit smart assy"

It's very me.

Either way, I'm worried with finals coming up about whether or not I'll be able to keep myself to this diet. I know that once I get home, I can start trying all the delicious recipes that Harper has in his book, but for now I am stuck estimating. I don't know if I'm actually under 800 calories like I should be because my school doesn't give nutritional information, but I'm getting as close to it as possible, knowing what I know about foods.

Today is another extra workout at the gym, and I'm kind of excited for this one. The soreness in my thighs has FINALLY gone away, but I used up my two days of no extra workouts for this week. Oh well. I know that tonight, well, afternoon because I am leaving straight from class, I am going to do the following:

45 minutes cardio (I'm really digging the spin bike even if my butt is a bit sore)
5x the following:
10 burpees
15 chair dips
25 jump ropes (I stole my friend's haha) 
I'm supposed to time how long it takes me to do all that, and then see if I can beat it the next time that I do those workouts. My biggest fear for when I go home is that my friends will try to encourage me to eat unhealthy and that my mom will get sick of these recipes, but I can handle myself for sure. I'm also going to start working again, and that scares me because all we do at work is eat. People bring in more and more food and I don't have the greatest self control :/

For now though, I guess this is enough ranting about how nervous I am. I have to focus on how well I'm doing! Which is really well, if how my clothes fit is any indication! I'll leave all you beautiful, imaginary viewers with some more motivation!
