LOVE working out!

These past couple of says I have been going to bed semi early because I am so tired from working out so much! this is good though, I don't get much sleep when I am in Lubbock during the semesters because I have a pretty active social life.
Thursday was my night off from the gym, thank goodness!
Friday-worked until 2 went grocery shopping got some more veggies! I went home and changed for the gym.  I wanted to try to do a repeat of the day 3 week 3 of C25K (I did about 15 min of it) but my knee was hurting me so I did 30 min on the elliptical instead.  I also did some machines and some nice stretches.  all in all at the gym I earned 7 activity points.  I also got to Skype with my friend Jenny who is studying abroad in south east Asia.  she is 14 hours ahead so it was like she was in the future!
Saturday I woke up early and went to heather and got my hair done...LOVE IT!!
Here's some before and after pictures!
Before... 
After!! 

then Saturday afternoon I went to the gym and did 30 min on the elliptical and earned 7 activity points.  I think I earned more because I was doing intervals and so I had the resistance up higher making me heart rate be higher.  THEN Saturday night I did something I never thought I could do.  I made spaghetti squash, like I cooked it and scraped it and everything.  It was quite an accomplishment.  and to boot it was delicious! o points for the squash, 1 point for 1/2 cup of pasta sauce and 3 points for the chicken, not a bad meal and SUPER filling!

Sunday(today): I woke up and went to a  new church, even thought I am only in Vancouver, Wa for a couple of more weeks and only one more Sunday, I really felt called to go to church and I am so glad I did.  I really felt God in the room and the message really spoke to me.  This put me in a really good mood so I went to the gym this evening and did 45 min on the elliptical doing intervals the whole time.  I really pushed myself and burned 900 calories! I felt fabulous! I had some extra points today so I treated myself to some Panda Express orange chicken and fried rice.  I know it is not the best choice but I had the points and we are aloud to splurge if we plan it in!
I just feel really good about this week and I want to keep my workout momentum going! I am going to Cardio Kickboxing tomorrow night and then Tuesday night is my night off from working out so that I don't have a lot of water/lactic acid retention for my WI on Wednesday.
