I quit Turbofire because I got bored...

And I started mixing things up instead!  I didn't really see any results on Turbofire (lost absolutely no weight), and in the past 3 months, I've only lost 3 lb.  I guess that's better than nothing and I definitely fit into my clothes better, but I really want to see more results.  I know it's mainly my diet, and I've been getting better about it this last month, but with medical school and my fat-loving boyfriend, it's hard for me to watch what I eat all that well.

So after my month of Turbofire (I did make it through one month), I had a test and I quit working out for a week.  Now I've started mixing up my workouts more.  Now, I mostly run, use the elliptical, or do a Turbofire HIIT workout 3-4 times a week.  I'm going to try to do 2 days on and 1 day off and see if I can't move it up to 3 days on and 1 day off by summer.  I forgot how much I loved running.  It's the exercise I always end up coming back to.  I should just start driving to Loose Park so I can run and actually enjoy it.  I hate my neighborhood sidewalks.  They're always cracked and there's too much traffic.

I've also started drinking more water and I found that it really does make me feel better.  After my run-in with a UTI (my first in a year or so), I realized that I needed to just start chugging away.  I'm only allowing myself to snack on fruits/veggies and nuts occasionally.  I'm also going to start taking the Alli my mom bought me a while back.  I'm getting back to 115 if its the last thing I do.  I'm pretty much stuck around 135 right now.  20 lb to go...20 lb to go...

I think I start to go to class regularly, my days will free up enough to actually work out regularly.  Stop procrastinating, Cicy!
