Crazy Week

So unfortunately this week I was unable to go to the gym or even cook because it has been a pretty bad week. I've been running around doing my taxes, filling out my FAFSA, settling a traffic ticket, and so much more. This week has been hectic so all my free has gone to resolving a lot of problems.
I hate that i broke my routine because it is hard to get into habit of something but its easy to break a habit.
So today at night, since planet fitness is 24 hours and i dont have to work tomorrow morning, I am going to the gym for at least 30 minutes. I feel horrible that I have eaten out every day this week and spent a ridiculous amount of money on food. I really hope that next week I get back on track because I was proud of how long I was keeping it up. I have been really bad at sticking to things such as exercising, ever since i moved out.
The gym has become a peaceful place among all the chaos of life for me, so I can't wait to start going regurlarly. Keep your fingers crossed.

High Protein Diet

In order to maintain my weight while working out I have begun a high protein diet. I have yet to by a good protein shake but I looked up online for things to eat. Foods such as avacados, chicken, eggs, wheat, and potatoes are high in protein and when cooked right can also be very healthy. Peanuts and other nuts are also high in protein but I absolutely hate all nuts so those are out of the question for me.
This week I made a big batch of guacamole to take with me to work or school as a snack. It is high in protein and tastes amazing.
 

 And for breakfast and lunch I have been eating things like chicken salad quesadilla and hard boiled eggs.
 
I usually dont eat breakfast , so it has been pretty hard guzzling down all this food. But ultimately I feel better and look better.

Ab Madness

Hello everyone
thank you for reading my blog again.
So because of spring break and summer i have decided to dedicate most of my exercising time on my abs. I borrowed the p90x DVD set from a friends and began doing that... Which is extremely exhausting ! But I can already tell its worth it. I have also been maintaining a high protein diet.
I am so sore from all the exercising but I know when spring break comes and I go down to Miami, it's going to be worth it.
To keep a good balance though, I still work a little of legs and arms but I'm usually to sore to do too much. Everyone tells me eventually my body will get used to it and it won't hurt anymore but I just don't see that happening.
I just can't wait to see major results.

Planet Fitness

Monday of this week I started my monthly subscription to Planet Fitness. I like it because it is 24/7 which is good for me since I get out of work late. I also like it because it is only $10 a month but there is a location near where I work and one near where I live that I can go to. I plan to go every other day for at least 45 minutes. Each day I go I switch between legs and arms, but I always do abs since they are hard to keep up.
I feel a lot more energized during the day. I am really glad that I finally started working out again.
