I hate commenting on blogs that have one of those stupid encryption things where you have to type in a word and number. First, I can never read the word, and 2nd, something is wrong with the I phone where it makes it difficult to complete. Do I have this? If so, how do I change it?

002. Keep a stack of magazines weighing the same amount you want to lose. When you lose weight remove some magazines from the stack. It will be thinspirational to see that pile slowly start to get smaller.

Nothing really with me.  I ate a lot today.  Healthy... but a lot.  So i did 30DS twice.  I know, that was the plan, but I was really planning not to do it tonight.  After I had a handful of almonds and went over my calorie intake, I did it anyway.  And again in a few hours?  Yuck.

Going out to dinner tomorrow to a nice Indian resturant.  Everything here has so many carbs.  I need to watch out for that.

I dont feel like 30DS is making me smaller.  Maybe thats just in my head.  Maybe its just bc I havent gone to the bathroom in a few days?

001. Keep a thinspiration book. Get a really nice journal or something and print pictures of skinny models, tips, quotes, or workouts, and glue it in there. Look through it whenever you want to binge.

I went to the Taj Mahal this weekend.  It was so wonderful.  SO beautiful.  It's so sad that one of the girls didnt want to go... I just dont even understand that.  You're in a foreign country you'll probably never come back to, and you don't want to see one of the 7 wonders of the world.

We really didnt have a lot of time, so I didn't overeat, yay!  I am afraid to eat certain things from most places, so a lot of what I eat if we aren't at the hotel is packaged and preservative filled.  Not good, but better than getting sick I think.

I did day 4 of Level 2 30DS today.  I need to make up both Friday and Saturday this week, so I plan to do 2 workouts tomorrow and 2 on tuesday.  Not sure if I can make that happen, since I can hardly breathe at the end, but I figure once in the morning and once before bed I should be able to handle it.  I HAVE to make up those days... no other option


Thank you Rio and TK for being my My Fitness Pal friends!!  I think it's motivating to see what other people eat.  If anyone else wants to add me, let me know.  I'm not giving out my username because it has my full name in it, but I'll friend everyone :)

My fitness pal?

I just joined and need some friends. Any takers?

Training for the India Service Center began today. I'm not doing any trainings, but observing and helping out as the presenters need me. Best part of my day was making table tents for name tags. I should be an admin... That's what I love to do.
I've been thinking about my job... I don't love it, but I think I must be good at it since I was flown across the world to do it.
Weight is going up... Shocking but not unexpected. If I didn't have to go to dinner every day I think it might be a different story... But I can't just skip. I'm going to try to say I want room service tonight and see if that's ok. Then I will eat a zone bar and have a good work out. Still doing Jillian michaels 30 day shred. Today I'm on day 3 of level 2. It is wayyyy harder than level 1... And I sort of feel bad about hopping around and bothering the person staying below me. I guess it's only 25 minutes.. So no big deal. Miranda said its awesome im sticking to this away from home. I think i could only do this away!! If I were at home, I'm be embarrassed if my roommate walked in on me. Silly, I know. On day 9 I remeasured and I am definitely smaller. Weight up, waist down??? Weird. Lets not pretend its muscle mass... 20 minutes a day isn't going to cause that. I need to get my eating under control... And maybe up my cardio. I was doing 400 cals of cardio before 30DS, but it's hard with the work load and timing. The other ppl in my group do the gym in the AM. first, I don't want to run into them, and it's the only time to talk to the boyfriend. I can do 20 minutes of shred, but the gym as well would be too much.
Speaking of boyfriend... I miss him. And I'm upset with him. We talk every morning, which is his night. And we are reading a book called "the five love languages." We read a few chapters each week and talk Thursday morning. I know he doesn't want to read it, but it's important to me to find out if our problems are just language barriers, or something deeper. Anyway, I called him this morning and he was asleep. He had a long day and fell asleep in the couch. Needless to say he hadn't read his chapters and didn't want to chat. When we hung up I cried. I felt abandoned. That might seem silly, a maybe it is... But it's the only time we get to talk and I had stayed up late to finish my reading, which didn't even matter.
Do I care more than he does? Or does he not understand what is important to me.... Not able to speak my love language?

Today I doubled up on 30DS to get back on track. I decided on 27 day shred would be best, so that's nine days at each level. I did day 9 and 10 back to back and got to see the new level! Ouch!! There is more jumping around... I'm a little stressed about that given I'm in a hotel.
In other news, I am visiting the Taj Mahal this weekend!!

30 Day Shred Day 5 was a bust... instead I woke up this morning (morning of day 6) to do it.  I will try to do it again tonight to keep up, but it's Friday, so we'll see.  The other option could be twice on Saturday or twice on Sunday.    Maybe I need to commit to doing it in the mornings instead of trying to do it after work and dinner.  We've been working hard to get ready for training, so I'm exhausted by the time I get home.  Last night, we ate dinner at the hotel restaurant and I had a glass of wine... which meant I was done for.  So exhausted after I got back to my room.

I emailed my mom to see if she wanted to skype... she said no!!  WTF?????  Anyone else have strange parents?

well... thats it really.  Haven't been eating well with all the candy in the office, but I'm going to quit that starting today.  Its not a good habit. AT ALL.
