Argh–friday, why you gotta suck?!

Posted by: travelgal In: General

OK, so I did my official weigh in this morning, and while I didnt gain weight, I didnt lose much weigh either..I weighed in at 203.6 which is only .4 down from last week. I dont get it. I’ve been to the gym everyday this week and have been eating SO carefully.  I’m going to have to spend some time this weekend re-reading some of my much older posts when I was losing weight much more consistently and see what I was doing differently, because this really just doesnt make sense..it shouldnt be THAT hard to reach Onderland when I’m being SO careful. to be honest, I’m really confused. arghhh. ok need to think  about what to change. any suggestions on what gets someone out of a plateau? is it less fruit, more protein? more calories? what ?!?!

anyways, I’ll take this whole thing slowly but surely.  whatevs haha.

Breakfast:

1 tofu dog and ketchup (60), Yogurt-1/2 cup- 60, Cereal-1/4 cup-35

Flax- 1 tbsp- 30, Blackberries/raspberries- ½ cup-32, 4 med/large strawberries(8 small ones)- ½ cup 23

½ banana- 53, iced tea: 0, total: 293

Lunch: ½ cup of dry WW pasta (100), 2 turkey meatballs (100), ½ cup of sauce (50), spinach (40), mushrooms (40) parmesean cheese (40), Hershey’s kiss (22),- 392 done

Snack: apple (70), string cheese (60) – 130

Dinner: some delicious vegan chinese food! yum!!

Gym:37 min on treadmill including day 2 of week 6 of c25k complete, and 10 mins of abs. attempting day 3 on sunday plus full weight workout. day 3 will be a CHALLENGE.

still doing an unofficial weigh in sunday am and trying to be VERY on track tomorrow day

25 Sep, 2009

friday!

Posted by: travelgal In: General

Lost 1.2 lbs this week! Woohoo! but still in stupid 200s! Even though it could be ambitious, next week is an entirely normal week for me, so I’m going to attempt rigorous gym sunday-thursday, and 100% on plan eating, to see if I cant get to Onderland by Friday.  So that’s the goal for next Friday, October 2nd, going to the gym today, sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday (at least), eating 100% on plan all those days, drinking tons of water, and hitting some # in Onderland..I CAN DO IT! but i must focus, and not lose track this weekend!!  (back later!)

so today was id say 68% on track.

breakfast and lunch were the normal, yogurt, salad, etc. but dinner was delicious ramen with a friend, that i certainly enjoyed. tomorrow will be a little off track too because I have a footbal game to go to, but sunday should be close to 100% on track with gym and food etc. still aiming for onderland next friday, but need to enjoy the weekend.

also, attempted c25k day 3 of week 5 today and FAILED. i will keep trying it again until i succeed. i will either try again on sunday or monday.! i’ll keep you posted! happy weekend all!
