Hi Chicks,
So I had a shockingly on plan weekend on a small vacay with my parents. There was a bit of some roughness, but I’ll get to that in a bit. The main thing is I totally kept track on Saturday and Today AND I went to the gym yesterday at the hotel. So first thing’s first I’m gonna blog my food, and then get on to talking about the trip a tad.
Saturday: (all foods are estimates, obviously)
Breakfast: coffee with small bit of cream (80), 1 piece of ww toast (100?), spinach, mushroom, lf mozarella egg white omelette (200?), strawberries (60)- 440
Snack: Frozen yogurt with some toppings (250)
Dinner: tomato soup (200), chicken and a slightly carby side dish (600)- 800
Total: 1490–> so while not particularly LOW CAL, on a vacation I’d say that was pretty damn controlled! WOOHOO
And workout: 52 min treadmill which included completion of week 6 day 3 of c25k and a total of 3.5 miles!
Sunday (today):
Breakfast: nf latte (150), omelette (230), ww toast (100), strawberries (60)-540
Lunch/Dinner: sweet potato fries (300), turkey burger (200), salad (150)-650
Snack: plum (30), kombucha (35), vegan chicken noodle soup (90)-155
Total: 1345–>done!
So, I think overall I did a fantastic job this weekend. I had really good self control ordering and eating food, etc. My one tiny-ish problem came with my family, particularly my mom. She also has a weight issue, and she would sometimes make comments about my food or lackthere of on my plate. And for example, she asked if i was getting a drink (alcoholic) and I said no, and she said “why too many calories?”, but not exactly in a nice tone. But the funny thing, if her comments were meant to make me feel bad, they backfired, because they only motivate me MORE to get fit, and lose more weight so that I can be the person I want to be and not worry about being another overweight member of my family. I KNOW i’m going to get fit, and I KNOW that it might be a slow process, but i also KNOW that it WILL HAPPEN, i am on the verge of fitting comfortably in a size 14, and I know that that isnt too far from a size 8, my goal. This mini vacay also made me really happy, because I am going on a longer trip with my parents in a few weeks, out of the country, and this just showed me that i CAN and DO have self control! and I CAN USE it! and it makes me FEEL GOOD to be in control! so, I’m looking forward to that! I also really WANT to hit 180 before my vacay which is in 3 weeks which means I REALLY have to get my ASS IN GEAR these next 3 weeks! So here are some goals I have for the next 3 weeks!
1) Finish the c25k program: I just finished week 6 of the program. there are 3 weeks left. I have three weeks left, ie the perfect amount of time to finish c25k. it will get done.
2) Go to the gym 5 days a week, no matter what my social plans are. I’ve gotten lazy about the gym and not going as much as I should. I’ve become passive and let my c25k become my whole workout. NO! I need to also get in my weights and abs and other cardio. for the next 3 weeks, I need to do the gym 5 days a week and 4 of those need to include weights and abs, and all need to include 45 minutes minimum of cardio.
3) Don’t eat over 1300 cals a day. Because I am estimating and not exactly measuring my food, I fear that I am estimating too lightly and maybe eating more than 1400 cals a day. So i’m lowering my daily cal MAX to 1300 to take into account my loose measuring system
4) Fit nicely into my new pair of size 14 jeans.
So, those are my goals for the next 3 weeks. I think if I truly follow those goals, and stay disciplined and in control, I will be able to reach 180 in the next three weeks. Let me know what you all think!! Comments, questions, criticisms, suggestions!? I Want to hear it and I want to make it to my next mini goal! WOOHOO! see you all tomorrow!
