Going to Lose: My Weightloss Journey!

well yesterday (Friday!) was productive in that for the first part of my day i did sponning and weight training, and ate pretty well.  then at night i went out and drank a bit (more than a bit) forgot to eat in the evening, came home soo drunk and had a cheese sandwich and passed out.

BUT i am a trooper because I still woke up and went to Saturday spinning today AND did a full weight training regimen.  WHICH MEANs that this week i went to spinning and weight training for 6 days in row. which means im awesome, and tomorrow is a rest day!

So today Saturday:

breakfast: cup of coffee with non fat milk, cereal, small banana and non fat milk

lunch: melange of protein and carbs ahahah

workout: 45 min spin class, 45 min weights and abs

Well my unofficial weigh in wasnt good this morning. I think i can mostly attribute to not getting much sleep, not drinking enough water, and snack too much yesterday.  SO i’m going to make a conscious effort to get 8+ hours tonight, drink a ton of water, and be very conscious of what I eat. I really want a good weigh in on Monday, and I really want to stay on track today and this weekend.

breakfast: cup of coffee with nonfat milk, apple, 1 light piece of whole wheat bread w/ peanut cream.

lunch: brown rice tofu veggie stir fry with egg whites.

snack: mango, 3 crackers, some light cheese and one slice of light turkey.

workout: 45 min spinning class and 45 minute weights and abs.

water: so far so good!

ah i had to get up early today for a meeting. my unofficial weigh in was good, but not great, but i guess as long as the number is lower than the day before, all is good.

breakfast: cereal w/ banana and nonfat milk, and coffee with nonfat milk

snack: protein bar

lunch: some chicken, rice, and veggies

snack: 2 pieces of light wheat bread, some mozarella cheese and light turkey.

dinner: whole wheat pasta, pesto sauce, chicken and some spinachy or green leaves (not sure what they were)

workout: 45 min spinning and 45 minute weights and abs.

water–so far so good!!

well today started out both good and bad.  the good news was that i had a really good unofficial weigh in! the bad news is that for some reason or another, the internet in my apartment wasn’t working, so that was a bummer. but, i survived!! (and now it works! woohoo!)

breakfast: large cup of coffee with non fat milk, cereal, a banana and non fat milk

lunch: a small personal pizza (i was at a big meeting, usually my lunches are much better).

pre-gym snack: apple, 2 slices of light turkey, and a slice of light whole wheat bread w/ peanut cream

dinner: brown rice, tofu, veggie, egg white stir fry.

dessert: a cookie

water intake: pretty good today!

workout: 45 min spinning and 50 minutes of weights and abs.

Today’s unofficial weigh in was better than yesterday’s, so that’s good.  It’s just really really hot and humid where I am, so I think I’m really retaining water which sucks.  So, I’m making efforts to drink a lot more water, but then the whole peeing thing is a problem when I’m out and about.  But we’ll see.

Breakfast: 1 piece of light whole wheat bread, light cheese, 2 pieces of light turkey, small banana and coffee with nonfat milk.

lunch: 1 slice of pizza

snack: apple with 2 slices of light turkey, some tremoços

dinner: brown rice with vegetable/tofu stirfry with egg whites

dessert: 2 cookies

workout: 45 min spinning, 55 min weights and abs

a good amount of water today!!

I had a BAD WIN this morning, 209.8.  notnotnotnot good considering last week was 206.something.  I realized (obviously) that I REALLY do need to record everything I eat and drink and this is the perfect reason why.  i went to spinning 6 days in a row last week and did 4 days of weight training.  i dont think i actually gained 4ish lbs of anything, but obviously i should have lost weight.  so i’m going to be very conscious about record all my food this week, sweets, snacks and “SERVING SIZES” which I have kind of let go to the wayside here since I dont really have measuring comes.  I need to make sure to remember just a fist of pasta or brown rice, not a whole plate.  definitely something to focus on today. and this week.  next Monday’s Weigh in better be MUCH better, and this week they all better be going down. i also think because i drank quite a bit this weekend i’m really retaining water and am full of salt. so goal for the day is eat on track and drink tons of water
