Sunday was a bit of a write-off.
I tried to go for a run to take advantage of the beautiful weather, but instead I took a nap in my running clothes (seriously). Then I kind of pigged out during the Oscars.
Thankfully, it was back down to business on Monday! Yesterday, Kate mentioned that she had a sugar hangover... so did I. After I eat a bunch of junk, I feel really gross the next morning. It takes awhile for my stomach to get back to normal.
I never used to feel horrible after eating junk food (back when I would eat it all the time)... unless I did feel horrible, but didn't notice because I felt like that all the time? My body really notices now when I give it junk to eat. I guess it's gotten used to the good stuff!
I had a green smoothie to try and fool my stomach into feeling better, and then I managed to actually get out the door in my running clothes! I ran for half an hour, but I was struggling by the end. I barely made it home. I definitely needed more than a green smoothie before my run... I had slept in, so my blood sugar was running pretty low.
I had a huge pile of marking to contend with when I got home,
so I settled in with a coffee and one of Jess's two-minute flax muffins - you make them in the microwave! It was so easy to make, but I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about them. I'll probably keep making them just because they're so fast and healthy! Here are the ingredients all lined up (as you can see, I do a lot of shopping at bulk food stores):
And mixed up in my mug:
And the final product (I never said it would be pretty!):
I had it with some jam.
I barely made a dent in my marking, so that's what's on the agenda for today (good thing I'm up bright and early!). I also need to do some planning. I will be away from home (mostly in a car, and packing/unpacking) with my mom from Wednesday-Thursday, and I am DETERMINED to stay on-plan! I will let you know how it goes!
I also have my LAST Booty Camp session tonight. Wow, I can't believe it's been 8 weeks since I started. I really want to sign up again (and probably will). I'm pretty curious as to what my measurements will be tonight... hopefully I won't have gained weight again like I had at the 4-week mark! At any rate, I feel MUCH stronger and fitter than I did 8 weeks ago. I will let you know how the measurements go... probably. ;)
Last night was my last Pilates class, too... what will I do without these pre-paid classes to keep me motivated?!

Over the past year since I started eating much more clean, healthy eating became the norm, and junky processed stuff started tasting bad to me.
I am going to have to try that flax muffin recipe! Looks great.
So are you a teacher?
Yes, I am a teacher :)
Definitely try the flax muffin recipe! I made one and really liked it... then I made one for my boyfriend and he didn't love it, which made me wonder if it was as good as I thought, haha. I will try it again soon (I may mix up the flavours a bit)!
Good luck with your measurements!! I am so proud of EVERYTHING you have accomplished including sticking with 8 weeks of Boot camp!!! <3
I just went back and read some of your posts in January. Now I remember you! You're the really pretty teacher that has lost a ton of weight!
You're doing so well, and you're a true inspiration. You make me want to stick to my plan and lost the rest of my weight. Thanks Katie
Ash - Thank you so much! Your meetings have made ALL the difference with my motivation levels. :)
