day [eight]

on the eighth day of the 12 days of Christmas challenge...

i weighed myself. i've lost three lbs. WHAT THE HECK. sorry everyone, i shouldn't be losing weight on the eat crap diet. but anyway. i started eating clean again today. two trips to the grocery store, cooking for the next few days, stocking up on veggies, fruits, lean proteins... YUM-O. i'm actually ecstatic.

for breakfast, coffee and oatmeal. then to henry's. i woke up so early this morning that i just rolled to the grocery store in my pajamas. can i just say, I LOVE LIVING ALONE. i live for the day i have my own place all to myself. no offense to anyone. i just can function so much better. at henry's i bought basically anything that was on sale. green apples, avocados, broccoli, chicken, etc. then i came home and baked up the chicken right away so i'd have something to eat later. for snack/lunch i had some baked chicken and then a sandwich thin with avocado on it. mmmm yum.

i then proceeded to take a three hour nap. mind you, there were a bunch of things on my to-do list today. but i figured i'd be a lazy bum, then get ready for the gym and go around the gym. so after my nap i got dressed and headed out. gas, bank, then i got to the gym early so i sat in my car for about 30 mins flash-carding it up about the functions of the left and right ventricles of the heart. ha... SO FUN :)

now on to the gym. oh mylanta. i got my ass handed to me tonight. there's no denying that. i felt light-headed, like i was going to puke, but i kept pushing. it was like week two of VBL all over again. i was dying but i loved it. tomorrow will be a fun sore day for sure. can i just say the chinese food i ate last night was SCREAMING at me while i was working out today? it was like "in your freakin' face jenna"... sucked the strength and endurance right out of me. like i said earlier today... I HATE EATING OUT :(

after the gym i drank my protein shake and drove to the grocery store where i had to take a minute in my car so i could regain my strength back haha. once inside, i had a field day. ohh the possibilities. i ended up spending $50 there and $30 at henrys this morning. i'm hoping it'll stretch two weeks... we will see! the ground turkey was on sale for $1.74 for 20oz, that's a crazy deal so i bought 6 and put them in the freezer. once i got home i proceeded to make a freakin' delicious salad.

ground turkey taco meat, cooked bell peppers and mushrooms, drained and rinsed unsalted black beans, reduced fat mexican blend cheese and a blend of romaine/spring mix/spinach. yum yum yum yum yum. which leaves me here, now. shower, flashcards, the holiday, bed time? i need to wash my one pair of gym pants i brought (fail jenna) because i'm planning on working out tomorrow morning. sadly, they are size large and fall off haha. it's all good :)

hi i'm jenna, i'm tired, and clean eating makes me happy!

my massive heap of chopped romaine. yummy!

i loooove taco salad.

yay to clean eating!!
