Boot Camp - day 19

I feel MUCH better this morning. A hint of a sniffle and my throat isn’t 100% but I feel lightyears better than yesterday. LIGHTYEARS!

Today is my last rest day. Tomorrow I run. Well, a light jog anyway. I’ve got to rework my schedule. I need to get back to exercising regularly. I miss it. And I’m afraid I’m going to get out of habit. I am bound and determined to go to the gym today. I haven’t been all week. I’ve barely been at work all week, it’s been crazy. But things have calmed down now. I need to get this Boot Camp back on track. Even with injury.

Food has been on track. But the scale is not moving. I’m totally bummed. I’m eating right around 1200 calories a day, which is right for me. And yet, nothing. FRUSTRATION!! However, what can I do but keep moving forward, right? I’m pretty sure that the fix for this is not to go back to my steady diet of Twinkies, french fries and Diet Coke. And so I soldier on…

Tomorrow I’m taking my two youngest down to the south bay to visit some friends. I’m not too worried about food, since Sean has food allergies I’ve tried to avoid eating out. We’ll bring our own food and won’t be hitting any restaurants or fast food places. Easy-peasy!

Still can’t decide between All About Steve and Extract… hm… what’s a girl to do?

UPDATE 4:14 PM

I just ate a king size Baby Ruth bar that’s been sitting in my mom’s office for at least a month. taunting me. Well, I showed it, didn’t I!

PS. It wasn’t that good. And it tasted at least a month old. 280 calories later. But it’s not there anymore! Now its on my ass!

And now I just ate a make-shift quesadilla from two low carb whole wheat tortillas and a sprinkling of low fat cheese.

I thinks I is hungry!

  1. I hear ya on the frustration! Though if you read my blog I think I’m going to have to change up what I am eating…

  2. 1,200 calories is too low if you exercise at all. I’m guessing it’s lowered your metabolism, so it’s getting by now on less calories (i.e., starvation-mode.) up the calories a bit, and the weight will start coming off again. (just imo.) :: hugs ::

  3. Hey, sorry I haven’t been on for a while. Glad you’re feeling better.

    Have you tried cycling your calories? Varying them by 100-300 calories a day so that your body never grows accustomed to a certain amount? Just an idea.

    What movie did you choose? I can’t wait to see Extract, I think it looks fabulous :)
