Week 4, Day 4

Food:
Breakfast: Banana
Snack: Grapes
Lunch: BW*3's - Buffalo Chicken Wrap & few tortilla chips
Snack: None
Dinner: Few Ritz Crackers w/ Colby Cheese
Snack: None

Water: 2 Waters, 1 Rootbeer, 1 Hot Green Tea + Vitamin

Exercise:

Planned: Day Off or Lower & Cardio
Actual: Day Off

My Thoughts:
Upper is definitely sore today, but it feels good. I decided to wear a skirt today, too. I had to move my belt up a notch, so that felt good, too.

Oh my BW*3's introduced their new menu out... You've got to try the buffalo chicken wrap! Its our new favorite and not too bad for ya either! Yum! We got the sauces on the side (Med & Ranch) on accident, but I decided that I actually prefer it that way and you can just put a little on the end before you bite into it. Plus, you save a few cals I imagine.

Afternoon and evening didn't end up being great. We decided to take the day off w/ exercise. We went to the grocery store and I vacuumed the house. I wasn't very hungry last night, so I only snacked on ritz and colby around 8:30-ish. Just didn't have an appetite for anything.

Snack: None

Exercise:

Planned: Upper & Cardio
Actual: Upper & 20 Min. on Bike

My Thoughts:
Realized this morning that I have been content w/ just maintaining myself in the mid-30s. I am not ok with that anymore. I want to hit my goal of 130 and maintain that! Eric got me a nice, new travel mug, so I can make green tea at home and take it to work. NO MORE STAR*BUCK'S for me.

I'm anxious to get to the gym tonight and get my upper back up to where I was. I know that I have lost most of what I had built up before. :( My lower is still super sore, I'm assuming some from the game last night, too.

Ate a little more at dinner than planned, but it wasn't too bad.

Another great workout. I really pushed the weight on my arms. Definitely lost some of the muscle I had worked on, but it felt good. The bike... Oh the bike... I did the random one, so it was going up and down hills. I maintained a mid-70s RPM for a total of 3.5 miles in 20 minutes. I am really going to have to work up to going higher. Am content w/ keeping my RPMs consistant w/ the randomness of my "road".

My Thoughts:
My lower is actually sore again today, so obviously I did something right yesterday at the gym. Feel pretty good today so far.

Need to lay off the hot chocolate. Yea, I'm getting non-fat, but I'm sure it's still not good for me. I have a plan to buy one of those travel mugs this week so I can start taking hot tea to work in the mornings instead of stopping at Star*buck's. Ugh!

Ended up hitting Subway for lunch w/ a coworker. Had to get out of the office or I was going to scream. Not sure what I'll get for dinner now. :D

We lost, so we don't play again until next Tuesday.

Weigh-In: 136

Back to the gym this week. I can't fight it any longer. I have to get motivated and start doing stuff instead of eating and sitting on the couch feeling sorry for myself. I ate like shit (when I did eat) over the weekend and thus felt like it, too. I hate that feeling.

Stuff to do this week:
*Cut up "real" salad tonight - Done
*Clean and bag (serving size) grapes - Done
*Make some chicken salad
*Softball game Tuesday (& Thursday if we win)

Goal for this week:
Go to gym 4 times (2 Lower/2 Upper)
Cardio 5 times (whether it's at gym or walking doggies)

MOST IMPORTANTLY - DON'T SLACK AT THE END OF THE WEEK!

Good day! Wanted some chocolate, but didn't give in to my cravings. Had a great workout at the gym and felt good.
