The journey from fat to fit. Road trip, woo hoo!

Breakfast: JC french toast and, um, a diet coke (I know, I know)

Lunch: sliced leftover bbq pork loin on a bun, tiny scoop of potato salad, jenny craig cheeto like food and two bottles of water

Dinner: ya’ll are going to love this… chips, guacamole, diet coke, 3-scoop waffle cone from Baskin R.’s and a bottle of water.  Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.

Exercise: planning on a bike ride to take DD9 and a friend to the park and then to the pool.  I can’t swim because no pools until 2 weeks after the lasik.  Maybe I’ll hit the gym or maybe I’ll bring a book and read while they swim.  I’m feeling kind of lazy today.  Not really interested in a workout.  That’s not a good sign, is it?

UPDATE: Did ride my bike to the pool with DD9 but did not work out.  Proof read work instead.

UPDATE 2: Okay, the icecream gulit got the best of me so I did my upper body workout, 11 different exercises, two sets of 15 reps each.  Also did “Exercise TV” Quick Abdominal Ball Workout and Rock Hard Abs.  Ugh.

7/18 Dinner: BBQ brisket (2 slices), a small chicken breast, small scoop each of beans and coleslaw, no dessert.  GALLONS AND GALLONS OF WINE

7/18 Exercise: Danced all night LIKE A FOOL and somewhat INAPPROPRIATELY

7/19 Breakfast: Ibuprofen

Second breakfast: 1/4 of a salmon crepe, 1/4 of a banana and nutella crepe, bottle of water, 1/2 a small green salad

Snack: bag of cheetos, bag of JC cookies, can of diet coke

Dinner: four stuffed mushrooms, way too much baked brie, a gigantic stuffed pork chop, sweet potatos, salad and bread pudding.  Oh, and four or five glasses of wine.

Exercise: a little bit of dancing, entirely appropriate, this time : )

Breakfast: banana

Lunch: green salad, JC buritto, capri sun, diet coke

Exercise: Biked 4 miles

This one is easy…

 Food: nothing

Exercise: none

ha!

UPDATE:

Lunch: 1/4 of a road beef sandwich, 1/2 a cup of mushroom soup and some chips, a diet coke

snack: Bag of cheetos, JC peanut butter bar

Dinner: small serving of sliced pork loin, bottle of water

Exercise: still nada

I just ate a cinnamon roll the size of my head for dessert.  With cream cheese on top.

Breakfast: skipping it because I have a weigh in and, oh my God, how healthy is that!

Snack: 16 oz jamba juice

Lunch: JC sinache tortellini, diet coke, FORGOT, I ALSO HAD A YOGURT

Dinner: small portion of pork loin (so yum, omg), bag of JC cheese curls, can of diet coke UPDATE: a gigantic cinnamon roll with cream cheese on top for dessert

Snack: another yogurt, handful of strawberries

Exercise: Ran 3 miles in 40 minutes and, man, did it feel good!  Bright sunshine,  not a cloud in the sky, but it’s about 58 degrees out right now

Biked 4 miles… 1/2 uphill

Walked 2 miles with DH at 10 pm when he got home from work

Breakfast: skipped, did have a bottle of water after bike ride, though

Lunch: green salad with grilled chicken, diet coke, chips and salsa, but not too many chips

Dinner: green salad, JC meatloaf, can of diet coke, weight watcher’s ice cream bar

Exercise: Road bike, 3 miles, half of that uphill.

Breakfast: a popcicle

Lunch: JC meatball sandwich, can of diet coke

Dinner: JC mac and cheese, small pc. of smoked sausage, 1/2 a snack pack sized bag of Funyons, can of diet coke

 Snack: six strawberries, another can of diet coke

Exercise: biked 3.3 miles — half with DD9 to VBS and the other half home without her whiny ass!  I thought I was going to have to leave her to fend for herself.  This is the second bike ride that she’s whined through.  Not sure what to do about that!  I have waited and waited and waited for her to get on two wheels so we could bike together (and seeing that she is 9.5 years old and JUST got on two wheels this summer, that’s a hell of a wait!).  But she’s ruining my biking fun for me!  And the other day when I was shopping for a basket for my bike, she said “Bike, bike, bike, that’s all you talk about is your stupid bike!”  Made me feel kind of like Pee Wee Herman.  This attitude and her uncanny ability to know EXACTLY when DH and I might be getting romantical and knock on the door at that EXACT moment are why we have fondly nicknamed her “The Ruinator.”  That’s my girl, the ruinator, but I vow that my biking fun shall not be ruined this summer!

Let’s see if we can recreate this day, which was ALL OVER the place:

Breakfast: fat free yogurt

Lunch: church BBQ: one hot dog with bun, tiny sample of each: potato salad, coleslaw, cucumbers, baked beans, asian salad.  A 1/4 of a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie.  Lemonade.

Dinner: vending machine bag of sunflower seeds and a diet coke at the pool, handful of tortilla chips, handful of baby carrots

Exercise: rode bike to pool - 1/4 mile; treadmill for 2.5 miles; swam 10 laps; road bike from pool to park, 1 mile; rode bike home 1.25 miles.

Could have been worse…

That’s gooooooal said the way it would be in a World Cup soccer match.  I did it.  It is 8:35 p.m. and I made it through the entire day without eating ONE SINGLE EFFING MORSEL that wasn’t on my food plan.  I’m presenting myself with a blue ribbon to commemorate this success.

Extra special success: I took DD9 to Panda Express (because we are totally out of food and no time to go to the market) and I did not order anything.  Just got her her kid’s meal and drove on.  My willpower is astounding.  I am a miracle of modern science and clean living.  I am ironman.

Goal for the night: STAY OUT OF THE FREAKING KITCHEN.  Do my upper body workout and crunches.  Drink a bottle of water.

Those are very simple, realistic, doable goals.  I should be able to handle this, right?
