When things don't go as planned..

This morning has been tough so far and it's only 6AM. I woke up at 4, got everything together and headed into the office, I got here and dropped my laptop off then headed downstairs to the gym. I went to the locker room to put my bag down and.. my keycard didn't work. Crap. I had gotten an e-mail from a friend saying they were having issues but that was a few weeks back and I had already gone and had it checked with the building people to make sure it was working, they assured me it was. I should've tried it. So, I wasn't able to get into the gym, I thought about going for a run outside anyways, but then realized no one would want to sit near me if I worked out and wasn't able to take a shower afterwards. So, I had to get ready and come to work an hour and a half early.  I'm really frustrated because I finally am ready to get back on the workout bandwagon and this happens. The good news is that I can always work out tonight at home :) It may not be a run but at

It's been awhile!

So I haven't really posted much lately because I really haven't been sure what to post. I haven't been working out (I know..) but I have been making some changes and adjustments! I'll hopefully start posting more as time goes on and hopefully can get back into the wonderful world of exercise, truth be told I do miss it..Stay tuned for that though. One of the major changes I've made has been to very much cut down on my gluten/carbs intake. I really didn't do this for the weight loss benefits, but more the health benefits (though weight loss IS a perk). I had been feeling very sick like for the past few weeks, just so tired and a constant headache. I couldn't figure it out, did I have a virus? No, wouldn't last that long. Was I not sleeping well? Nope getting about 6-7 hours a night (which is the norm for me lately). I was just so sick of feeling..so sick! I had done a lot of reading about Hypothyroidism and what helps/hurts it and it seems that gluten i

Keepin' it real

So I know I haven't written much lately, I just haven't had much to say to be honest! I have been trying to behave with food (trying!) and so far I've been doing well. I've even lost another pound or so, which is great! I've completely fallen off the running bandwagon, as in I'm in the woods somewhere and the bandwagon is already at the destination. So I do belong to a runners group on Facebook and I asked what the best way to get back into it was other than the main response of "just do it" the common theme was to start with 20 minutes and ease into it. So that's what I'm going to do, 20 minutes is nothing. I've been running for 20 minutes for over 6 months now. So I say now. This morning I DID come to work all set to work out, only to find that my keycard for the gym AND the locker room didn't work, I was bummed. I was trying to wait around to see if someone would come at the same time to let me in..but after about 20 minutes of waiti
