The Stair Master is my BITCH

I had a day off today from work, which was nice. But, I hardly had any errands to run. This makes sticking to eating clean incredibly difficult. 

Do you know what it's like to sit at home, watching Snooki & JWoww and Teen Mom 2 reruns with NO SNACKING?! It's pretty much harder than climbing a mountain. All I want to do is eat chips. Or something else that is salty and crunchy. Mmmm. 

I ate cashews. Just a 1/4 cup. I controlled myself. But it was hard. 

I left the house around 2 to make it to the vet in time. Charley is terrified of the vet. Probably because that's the place that lopped his balls off. Poor guy. The minute we pull in he gets the shakes. He looks like he is having a seizure when we walk in and everyone does the "Aweeeee, poor baby" line. & today was just like any other visit. He crapped himself when the doctor tried to touch him. He also tried to bite him this time while he was trimming his nails. Luckily for me, this time, my body missed his claws & I left the vet with no scratches or battle wounds. 

I made him an appointment to get his teeth cleaned next Friday on my day off. I have to drop him off. Then he will be put to sleep so they can clean all the tartar off his teeth. I never knew doggie dental hygiene was so important until I was reading an AKC magazine. So, I immediately had the vet look at his teeth. He said they're ok but they should be cleaned and then kept up on. So, what baby needs/wants, baby gets. 

Afterwards, I ran to the dry cleaners & to the Vitamin Shop to get some Quest protein bars. I only like ONE flavor. Chocolate brownie. Seeing how REAL Betty Crocker brownies are a no no right now, these are actually a great substitute. I'll take it. 

Hung out at my Mom's after that until Joey got out of work. 

We went to the gym afterwards & I got a great cardio work out in. This was the first day I enjoyed sweating. Normally, I am repulsed by sweating. Today I felt like I was accomplishing something. Maybe it's because I haven't gone the last two days. I also made the stair master my bitch. The first time I did this thing, I got to 15 floors and I was about to DIE. I seriously was out of breath and it was just ugly. Today I did 37 floors in 10 minutes and I probably could have kept going but my goal was to burn 100 calories. So when I hit 100 calories I stopped. Don't get me wrong, I was pooped but I could have made it to at least 40. Next time! 

The Stair Master of Death

After the gym I ran to Wegmans and grabbed some sushi. California Rolls. I am not a Sushi eater. I actually went to get asparagus but decided I didn't REALLY want to wait the 25 minutes it takes to oven roast it. My eyes met the sushi and also realized it was only 200 calories for that whole thing & decided I would give it a shot. I loved it. Couldn't finish it, but yum. And it's good for you. I think. 

& to end the night, I got my mail & my new 1st Freedoms magazine from the NRA came today. Can't wait to read through it & read all the articles about these bullshit regulations that just were put in place. 

Merp. The End. Nighty Night.
