Week 7 Week 6 Week 5 Week 4 Week 3 Week 2 Week 1 The start
Yes, another week – I hope you’re not bored yet 😉 As I mentioned last week my weight is hovering at about a 5lb loss, but my inches are still going down – awesome right? I’m taking today off to baby sit the little chick, but will be right back to it tomorrow with interval training, which surprisingly, I’m starting to like… I guess doing something for 4 weeks can become a habit… which is why my Body Transformation program is spread out over 4 weeks (shameless I know).
Sunday – 3:23 AM?? I’m just awake… I’m sure I’ll go back to bed in a few… Well, my starting weight for today is 133.6 again – I know, up and down, up and down… basically food and not drinking enough water over the holiday weekend. Yesterday was pretty good water-wise, but didn’t really hit all my meals, breakfast was oatmeal, hmmm can’t remember if I ate lunch, 3 ish was organic cashews and raisins and dinner was a smoothie… or and of course my Saturday night treat…
Workout today will be interval training, but I think on the road with Chrystal’s dog Mason – he looks like he needs a good run 😉 will probably do one of the couch to 5 k podcasts, an earlier one so I don’t kill the poor beast… then ab work.
Food – back on track with egg whites / asparagus, am snack – green smoothie, lunch Salmon and salad, pm snack 1 oz cashews and raisins, dinner hmmm not sure yet, but will be 4 oz of lean protein and veggies.
…… and just so you know, I do realize something has to give here – I need the next 10 days to be clean, even through the weekend. As my girl Linda, a great personal Trainer in Chicago (I’m telling you – you will love her), always says – treat the weekends like any other day of the week if you need to hit you weight loss goals – which is so true… how many of us hit Friday and are on a 3 day binge? It just messes up all the hard work you did for the week. Ya, ya Linda – I know that’s what I’m doing… I hear your little voice in my head 😉 Just need to find some new motivation to get me through…
Plan Mon – Friday
- Egg whites and asparagus
- Green smoothie
- shrimp and salad w/ quinoa (until the last week)
- raisins and cashews
- 4oz of chicken, salmon, lean beef w/ veggies and salad
Workouts –
- Intervals on the treadmill 3 days a week 5 min warm up / intervals 1-1 from 5 – 8 mph (that’s walk for a min, run for a min – total time about 8 min) then treadmill hike top to bottom (level 15 – 0, 1 min each) total ends up being around 30 minutes.
- Boot camp has moved to a new location which isn’t going to work for me, so I will do MarkOne workouts at my home gym with some extra Ab work.
- 4 mile walk at lunch when time permits daily –
Monday – hmm food was still off yesterday, just not really hungry… egg whites and Green beans for breakfast, green smoothie around 11 am, no lunch, cashews and raisins around 3 and dinner was 4 oz turkey burger, 1/2 cup of sweet potato fries and salad…. Today’s food will be on track – I’m back at work so no issue for sure… Work out – good lord… A MarkOne workout… kidding – I actually liked it – got my heart rate up but didn’t really kill me – or make me want to quit, which is the key for me – always 😉
Tuesday – ugh …. My back is killing me – I think it’s from running with the dog this past Sunday – I was using muscles to control him that I don’t usually have to use… this morning intervals turned into a 1.25 mile walk on the treadmill incline up to 10 and down and then a LOT of stretching…I am still going to get something done each day, but I think for the most part I will have to lay a bit low on intensity… super bummed … needless to say, I have a case of the “crabby pants” today as my friend Steph M. likes to say – sore, tired, cranky, blah, blah, blah – but I’m sure I’ll get over it…
Food yesterday was good..hit all my spots… Today I expect to be the same – dinner tonight will be salmon and salad then off to teach my first Body Transformation 101 class…. can’t wait to get this up for all of you to see 🙂
Wednesday – cracked yesterday – ran across an office with a whole jar of chocolate turtles – ate 4…. moving on.. Class was great, I thought, super excited to share what I know works… still cranky because of my back and that I’m choosing to not workout again this morning to give it a break – instead going to hit the chiropractor on my way to work – didn’t realize how much missing my workouts affects my mood – note to self “I’m one workout away from a good mood” – yes, that is a Valerie Waters quote, and so true – love her….
Closing in on our month close, so work is a tad stressful, not horribly, but a tad… may try to get a few laps around the building in through the day to relieve stress and clear my head…. Food will be the same up through dinner, tonight probably salmon and salad again. Oh and on a more positive note – I saw 131.6 this morning – yeah!!! I swear it was the night sweats last night 🙂
Thursday – Yesterday was 100% woo hoo!! Will did get on the treadmill this morning my back is starting to feel better – Did treadmill hike to level 12 and back down – whole workout 30 mins. Food will be clean during the day, dinner out with boss Cafe Luigi’s – yum… will have salad and chicken parm – I never eat the pasta and scrape the cheese off – so basically chicken tenders with a little sauce….
Friday – So no change this week to weight or measurements, which is fine since I wasn’t really able to workout. My back is feeling better, but have decided to give it one more day of rest – Having pain can suck the life out of you – oy… yesterday – ugh – if I really have to be honest, and I will be … had egg whites and asparagus, 10 am completely cracked and had two pieces of left over cold Hawaiian Pizza – I was so craving carbs – I could have just drank my shake, which I started to do, but the pizza thing was already in my mind so I went looking for it. Now that I think of it, it was in my mind from the night before when I heard out admin ordering it – funny how the mind works isn’t it… Lunch was my shake – around 4 pm I ate my shrimp and salad and then we went out to dinner with my boss. Ended up having the taste of Italy, which was a couple of pieces of chicken parm, a small piece of lasagna and 1 meatball – which I ate, plus a piece of veal parm and a sausage which I didn’t eat. oh and 3 small pieces of bread and butter, we ate late so I was starving – not a great food day – today will be much better… My goal this week is to lose at least 1 lbs, workouts will be back on track next week so I will be able to do this – notice the word “will” 😉
So at 8 weeks still down 5.4 lbs and 9.50 inches!!! Moving on…
