I ate too much today. A whole box of mac 'n' cheese! But I still stayed relatively low on calories.

Guys so often seem to be neglected. So here's some inspiration for you before I head to work!

Illness

Also, I'm sick. I've been feeling exhausted all week, and this morning I woke up with a terrible sore throat. Which means a part of me wants to eat heavy comfort food and another part of me wants to do nothing but sip cool water and hot chai. The real downside is that I have to miss my dance class today and can't go work out since my throat hurts too bad.

Weight

I don't understand this at all. Even with the restricting and more exercising than I've ever done before in my life, I still gained half a pound! Ugh!

School Week

Well, it's back to school today. I'm going to try to keep myself "full" on 0 calorie lifewater and just have something small and low-cal for lunch.

Gym + lifewater

Just got back from the gym. :) I played some racquetball (I'm getting better!) then went running on the treadmill, did some yoga, and tried out a stair-stepper. It's not one where your feet are moving in circles, but where you just step up and down as fast as you can. It really works your calves, and I think I'll have to do it more often.

Also, have you tried these new 0 calorie lifewaters by SoBe? They're amazing! No calories, lots of vitamins, and they taste wonderful. Strawberry Dragonfruit and Strawberry Apricot as my favorites, with Fuji Apple Pear as a close third. And they're sweet, so they satisfy my sweet tooth.What do you guys drink that has no calories? (Besides diet soda, as I don't like the carbonation and I'm not a huge fan of soda.)

Resolutions, again.

Nevermind. I can't get to the dance performance today, since it's at a different location than I thought. But that means that I have more time to spend at the gym. (Hopefully I can burn off the calories from the spoonful of frosting I just ate in a moment of weakness.)
