Another successful day! As far as eating goes, I ate REALLY healthy. I had only negative calorie foods today. I woke up late so I didn't eat a big lunch. I just had some strawberries and cauliflower. With the cauliflower I had a little bit of dressing on the side, but I minimized the amount that I used. Strawberries as always were amazing! For dinner, nobody cooked or anything, so I just made myself a salad with a little bit of cheese and balsamic vinaigrette dressing (once again, minimizing the cheese and dressing). I also had two plums. I don't know if that was ok, but I figured they were small and also had negative calories. I'm going to try to make a Crustless Skinny Quiche that I found on Pinterest tomorrow so we can all eat healthy, but who knows if that's going to happen. :)
Love this! 
My workout went great! I burned at least 300 calories today. I burned about 200 on the elliptical and 100 on the rowing machine. I also did a little weight machines including the hip abductor/adductor, the abdominal curl, and the leg curl. I have no idea what the difference is between abductor and adductor (I don't even know if I spelled that right), but I love how they have highlight the muscles that the machine targets. I just looked at the pictures and went to each machine that targeted what I wanted to target, specifically my calves, thighs, and stomach. It felt pretty great, and I spent about an hour and a half there.
I went shopping today, not to buy, just to look around. I had an amazing feeling! I've been having problems with my calves for awhile. I can't fit into boots because they're too small. I tried on a pair of boots...AND THEY WENT OVER MY CALVES! It turns out I've gotten rid of an entire inch around my calves!!! I was so happy!!! I can't wait to get rain boots and a nice pair of dress up boots! (I can be skinny and taller!)
OK here's a quote. (I picked this because I don't have to find a quote for the next ten days!) "10 Reasons For Weight Loss 1) To Love Myself Again" -Pinterest. This is part one of ten; the next nine will be over the next nine days! Before I started this workout, I'm going to be honest, I didn't like the way I looked in the mirror. I was unsatisfied. I really really REALLY want to look amazing! I've got SO many reasons to get fit now! I'm realizing them more every day! I don't think there's any reason to stop except that I get tired sometimes. But why should that stop me? I can sleep at night! I love this! I'm getting more and more excited for school everyday!! ~Emily B.
