Fitness Friday

My goal this week was to finally get back in the gym.

Success

I joined a women's only gym back in the summer and was working out 4 or 5 times a week. When the holidays came, I started slacking. I hadn't been back since November. I finally made an attempt to go back yesterday. I've been tracking calories for about two weeks now, via My Fitness Pal on my iPhone. I had started walking last week, which was a start to my fitness goals. It felt so good to be back in the gym yesterday.

Unfortunately, we have snow today and I won't be risking the drive to the gym, but I plan on going Monday. We are off from school for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so I plan on hitting it early. To my surprise, I was actually able to keep a steady pace on the treadmill and even accomplished some running. I was proud, because I hadn't worked out much at all. My arms are even sore today from the machines. I forgot the "high" I felt after a good work out.

I done okay eating this week. I know I could have done better, but I was extremely busy and I also had four Anatomy test this week, which lead to being stressed out. I loath to do better next week.

My goal for next week:

Track my calories each day and hit the gym at least 3 times!

New Years Eve

Hope everyone had a fabulous new years. I sure did. I spent the majority of the day just laying around. I finally took a shower and started getting ready. My plans for the night were still up in the air but I knew I wanted to go ahead and get ready. I got a text from one of my friends asking if I wanted to go eat Wasabi's in Knoxville and I told her of course. We headed to K-Town around 6. Once we got there, the wait was an hour and a half long, so we just goofed around in the car till time. Perfect time for a photo session. We enjoyed a spectacular meal and then headed back towards home. We got back in town around 11 and headed to Derek's house to play some pool and ping pong and wait for the ball to drop. Around 1, Jordyn and I headed back home. It was a great time well spent with great friends. I told Jordyn we may make it a tradition. :)

Friday Re-Cap

Today has been a great day. I slept in, woke up and started getting ready. Mom, Mariah, and I headed to Knoxville for the evening. Mom was in need of a pedi so Mariah and I tagged along. We ate Japanese at Kobe's which was delicious. Mariah and I stopped at my all time favorite ice cream shop; Marble Slab. Yummy. Now I'm just lazing around the house. Great relaxing, low key day! :)

Christmas Break... Need I say more?

I'm thankful for Christmas Break. This past semester about killed me. I didn't think we'd ever get to break. On top of a hectic semester, we've been super busy. We've had something every single weekend since before Thanksgiving. Needless to say, I've lazied around the house all day. I may or may not have slept till 12:30. I know, pure laziness. But that's okay... It's Christmas break. We're finishing up our shopping tomorrow and will start our baking tomorrow evening. I'm super excited to be spending Christmas with the best family ever! Back to my electric blanket and zzzz's!

Love,

Having to wake up early in the mornings. I NEVER get to sleep in anymore. With school 5 days a week, Saturday mornings spent at the gym, and Sunday mornings church, I officially don't get to "sleep in."

Getting more rest at night. I have to sacrifice an hour or so at night, but I feel a little better in the mornings. I'm trying to have lights off by 11 at the latest. Last night I was out by 10!

That after for working for two months, every single Sunday, I am no longer at that job which means I'm now back in church. :)

My amazing family and friends!!!

I'm back..

I've finally recovered from my surgery earlier last month. I had a hard time recovering, but I'm finally up to par. October was a busy month and it went by entirely to fast. Lots of fun this past month. Hayrides, bonfires, food, family, friends, cool weather, jeans, hoodies, boots. Ahh, yes I <3 Fall. It has become extremely cold very quickly. We pretty much went from Summer to Winter over night. I also ran my first 5k a couple weekends ago. Wonderful experience and yes I'll be doing another one as soon as Winter is over. Just to give you a little idea of how busy I've been these past few weeks here's a look inside my day.

6:15- Wake up!

6:15-6:30 Breakfast... Usually cereal or oatmeal and a banana

6:30-6:45 Shower

6:45-7:30 Get dressed, hair, and make up

7:30-7:45 Get everything ready to walk out the door and try not to be late

7:55-2:50 School!!!

3:00-4:00 I try to make this my quite time. Usually Dr. Phil and Blogging

4:00-6:00 Usually planning and cooking dinner somewhere between this time

6:30 Head to the gym

6:45-8:00 45 minutes of Cardio with 30 minutes of machines

8:15-9:00 Laundry, Dishes, just small chores that need to be done before bed

9:00-10:00 Nightly face routine, brush teeth, take meds, and rest in bed. Usually with tv

10:00 Lights out!

Of course, this is how my schedule goes on a good day. There's constantly something that changes up my day and throws me for a loop.

Much different from my last post about how my Summer days were going.

Love,

Tabitha

Wisdom...

I know I haven't blogged in forever, but I promise I've been reading everybody's post. I've just not been able to find time to do my own blogging. Life is crazy busy, like it normally is.

We are actually on Fall Break at the moment, but I'm not spending mine the way I would like to. Unfortunately, I've been laid up in bed. I had to have oral surgery Friday morning on my wisdom teeth, so I'm not feeling the best in the world. I'm pretty much sleeping and taking medicine to keep the pain to a minimum. Also having to keep ice and heat on my mouth. It was my first surgery and I done well, but the recovery is becoming very rough. There's just not much fun in having four stitches in your mouth. Let's just say, after I recover, I'll probably never want to look at mashed potatoes, pudding, and Gatorade for a very long time.

My momma has been awesome during this time. She has taken such good care of me.

Thanks to everyone for calling, texting, Facebooking, and praying for me during this time.

I hope to be back to blogging as soon as I recover...

Love to all,

Tabitha
