Wow today was a great day! I didnt eat off plan AT ALL!  And while I didn’t have time for a FULL workout I did manage to get in a pretty nice workout! YAY! more at the bottom about the challenge tomorrow is going to bring! and of course, before weigh in day! lame! but I can work through it! woohoo!

Breakfast: 1 tofu dog (45), ketchup (15), kombucha (35), yogurt (60), 1 tbpsp flax (30), 1/2 banana (55), 1/4 cup of cereal (35), ½ cup of berries (30) -305

Lunch: Spelt corn tortillas (120), cheese (80), vegan pepperoni (40), salsa (10): [250], plum (30), and carrots and snap peas (40)-total: 320

Snack:  nectarine (70)

Dinner: ½ cup of WW pasta (127), 3 turkey meatballs (150), ½ cup of sauce (50), spinach (15), parmesean cheese (35), Salad (140) and small piece of dark chocolate (25)- 542

Total: 1237–>DONE WOOHOO!

Workout: 40 min on the elliptical & 10 min abs (45 crunches on the captains chair! most I’ve ever done! WOOHOO)

So, tomorrow, a Wednesday (AKA day before my weigh in) is presenting QUITE the challenge for me! I have a lunch meeting with a catered lunch AND on top of that in the evening I have a bbq to go to.  The plus side of all of this, is that I know what will be served at both events, so I have already planned and calculated what I am going to eat for each meal so that it stays entirely within my calorie range.  The true CHALLENGE tomorrow will be to STICK to my exact plan and not eat ANYTHING more than I have alloted for each meal.  But, all of that will really come down to self control.  The other awesome thing tomorrow is that the BBQ is basically happening right next to my gym! So after work, I am biking home and getting my car and the stuff for the bbq that I’m contributing.  I will then ALSO PUT ON MY GYM CLOTHES (WOOHOO!) and therefore I will not be able to have ANY EXCUSES as to why I cannot go to the gym tomorrow evening.  It will also be a big motivation to then eat less, since I know I will have to go work out soon after.  I think that as long as I can keep my self control on high alert, I have a rather fool-proof plan that will allow me to avoid messing up tomorrow. eh?? Tomorrow will be Day 2 of Week 7 of c25k, along with a full 45 min weights and abs workout. I cant imagine that I will possibly be at the bbq for more than 1.5->2 hrs which leaves me minimum 2 hours at the gym before it closes, so I wont even be able to use that as an excuse to not doing a full workout.  So my two things to work on tomorrow are 1) sticking to my already planned out foods and remaining entirely in control and 2) not eating too much at the bbq so that I can workout to my maximum potential tomorrow night.

Ah, i know a lot of talk right?, but I really feel like all this planning puts me on the road to success! if you actually read down this far, you’re SO AWESOME.

much love chicks,
