Well…

General 3 Comments »

I lost .8 lbs this week.  That’s certainly not remarkable.  But, at least I didnt gain.  I’m not going to throw an epic tantrum this week.  But, I still think I need to change things around because something’s not quite right if I am losing weight this slowly.  I do admit i have been going to the gym more like 3-4 times a week rather than 5-6 due to a busy busy social and work schedule.  That’s not really an excuse.  But, my gym is only open till 10, and when I get off work at 5, it doesnt really leave me with many options, especially if I have a meeting or event at night.  Nonetheless, I need to step up the exercise.  So, next week, my goal is to go to the gym everyday except for Thursday because I have a dinner plan and do 45 min of cardio and 45 min of weights and abs, on every one of those days when I go to the gym.  Well, on one or two days, I’m playing squash as well, so on those specific squash days, I might say 30 min cardio and 30 min weights and abs.  Also, this week either on Friday (tom) or saturday I will be completeing week 6 of my c25k plan and starting on monday or tuesday depending on my schedule, I’ll start week 7.

Also, food wise, i think I’m going to try to take down the calorie ranges a bit to 1200-1300 per day next week starting after the weekend, because clearly, not losing weight shows that I just have too many calories coming in for the amount I have going out.  So, I’m going to have to play with that as well.

Lastly, expect a post tonight that along with my day’s food recap, will discuss the challenge I am facing for the entire weekend, and how I plan to face it head on.

Happy Thursday everyone.  No tantrum today, just severe planning for the weeks to come!  I am still aiming to get to 180 by august 21.  That’s 7.8 lbs in 3 weeks.  Which is 2.6 lbs per week.  Ha, it’d be a miracle if I actually made that, but if I step up my game, I just might.

Today was once again a day where I was fed a meal at a lunch time meeting.  Tomorrow I’m being fed dinner.  It’s HARD being so popular and busy haha.  I used to wish I was always busy, had people to see etc, now I do, and I wish I had more free time! Gah, life is never perfect.  But, I love my friends and life and job and school so I’m not complaining, just adapting.

breafast: turkey (70), kombucha (35), yogurt (60), 1 tbpsp flax (30), 1/2 banana (55), 1/4 cup of cereal (35)
1/2cup of berries- 315

Lunch: A mini burrito and some chips (430) and iced coffee with some nf milk (35)- 465

snack: protein bar (120) and nectarine (70), and some almonds (60)-250

Dinner: salad (135), 1 turkey burger (100), ketchup (30)-265

Snacks: plum (30), dark chocolate (25) and some raspberry licorice things (30)-85

Total:  1380–>DONE

So, I think I did pretty damn well today, especially at my lunch. Their spread was pizza, a big like 4 foot burrito and chips and guac. i entirely avoided the pizza and guac (which i dont like and never eat) and stuff to one piece of the pre-cut burrito and a couple chips.  i think that was pretty good self control, considering how good the pizza looked!

Workout: 1 hour of intense squash playing! i’m really liking squash btw, quite the good workout!

ahhh! moment of truth tomorrow! weigh in day tomorrow! dont know which way it’ll go…we’ll see i guess.

wish me luck!
