Feeling sorta blah this morning, but did catch up on sleep mostly last night. Tried my shake today for afternoon snack and it didn't taste too bad, but for some reason I couldn't drink it. It smelled weird. I'm going to save it and try it again tomorrow. I'm weird, I guess. Thank goodness it was cheap and on sale! I think Eric might drink it though if I can't.

You should try the honey bbq sauce at BW*3s. Oh my goodness is it good!!!

Didn't end up taking Godiva to school or going to the gym. Just had a nice evening at home on the couch. It was needed. I looked through my "Light Cooking" magazine when I got home and found the chicken pasta primavera recipe, realized I had all the ingredients and decided to make that for dinner. It was even healthy. Balanced Protein & Carbs. Oh and it made 6 servings, so I froze most of it for work.

My Thoughts:
Feeling super today. Did my normal mid-week check in and was at 135. Now I have to keep it off until Sunday. Shouldn't be too difficult. That's some motivation.

Getting a little tired of chicken salad for lunch, but haven't had a ton of time to make anything else. Did pick up some string cheese last night at the grocery. Also bought some crab meat, so maybe I can make crab salad or something this weekend. I used to love that stuff when I worked at Sub*way.

I think I'm going to try the bike at the gym for my cardio tonight. When we first started the gym we did it a couple of times and I didn't like it, but I think I was starting out on too difficult of a level. We'll see how it goes tonight. I'm going to try to rotate my cardio options.

Decided to hit the mall & try to find something to wear to a wedding next weekend. Got frustrated and didn't find anything. Should have just went to the gym. Ugh!

Week 9, Day 2

Breakfast: 3 Slices Turkey Bacon
Snack: None

Exercise:

Planned: Softball game
Actual: Softball game in 90 degree weather

My Thoughts:
Out of string cheese and can't eat cottage cheese, so I'm just having kiwi for my mid-morning snack. I did order some whey protein yesterday that should arrive by the end of the week. My workout last night was much better. My body just cannot do the total body workout in one setting. I get so exhausted by the time I get to upper that I don't get a good workout in. I think my new approach should show more results.

Had planned on eating out tonight, but not RL. Picked the best thing on the menu and only ate 1 roll. Damned if more weren't tempting though. hee hee Sounds like I had a lot of food and I guess it was a big meal, but I did get the 1/2 order (or lunch)option.

Sweated like pigs at our softball game that we also lost. I think I lost a pound in sweat.

Week 9, Day 1

Food:
Breakfast: 3 Slices Turkey Bacon
Snack: String Cheese & Watermelon

Snack: 1/4 Cup Cashews & Almonds

Snack: none

Water: 4 Waters, 2 Hot Green Teas, 1 Milk + Vitamin

Exercise:

Planned: Lower & 20 Min. Cardio
Actual: Lower & 20 Min. Treadmill

My Thoughts:
Well my sister is in the hospital waiting to have her baby. We'll probably be making a trip to the hospital this evening to see our niece. Still plan on hitting the gym though.

Had a much better workout tonight. Decreased my weights a little, but still felt the burn since I am doing 15 reps instead of 10. Then did 20 min. on the treadmill varying the incline.

Week 8, Day 7

Tomorrow starts a new day. I blew it Saturday and today. Plain and simple. Of course I feel like shit, too. Eating... Where to begin... I had so much shit I'm not even going to list it here. Exercise... I can say I did get this in. I had a really hard time doing the total body on Saturday, but I've come up w/ a plan. I got a ton of walking in Saturday night & today. Exercise, I'm not so ashamed of. I weighed in this morning at 136.5, so yea I lost a 1/2 pound, but I've gained at least that back today. Ugh!

Goals for this week

Food
I do fairly good during the week, but normally around Thursday or Friday I start slacking off. My goal this week is to eat healthy all week, including the weekend. Should be easier this week, too. We have a game on Tuesday and Godiva's School on Thursday. Saturday night & Sunday night we have cookouts, but I think I can manage to eat healthy and not gorge myself like this weekend. I'm so close to my goal!!

Exercise
Monday - Lower & 20 Min. Cardio
Tuesday - Softball game
Wednesday - Upper & 20 Min. Cardio
Thursday - 20 Min. Cardio (Either Walk or Stepper)
Friday - Lower & 20 Min. Cardio
Saturday - 20 Min. Cardio
Sunday - No gym, but be outside doing something

I think these are pretty reasonable goals. I have to make myself stick to them this week. My goal this week is to lose 1.5 pounds and be at my 135 goal for July 1. Definitely reasonable, too.
