Jan 19 ... plan for the nearly perfect day
 

You've all heard the adage 'if you fail to plan, you plan to fail', right?
Well, think about this a minute. What would be your perfect food and exercise day?

Post your plan here and tomorrow keep us updated as to how it's going. Don't be too hasty. Remember that life gets in the way. Do you have meetings etc? Plan those in.

I have to think about mine, but I'll be back!

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs; 1 piece of 9grain bread; 1 tbsp of PB
Snack: Apple
Lunch: 1 3fatchicks chicken/spin/mushroom enchilada; broccoli salad
Snack: almonds
Dinner: See Lunch
Dessert: Healthy Choice Fudgcicle

Exercise: 1 mile run; 1 hour on weights; end with another mile run

I had my "perfect" day today... Minus the run!

Tomorrow, I dunno what I'm going to eat, probably a yoghurt somewhere, some scrambled eggs, a bacon sandwich, a protein shake, some cottage cheese, apples, carrot sticks, raisins & peanuts etc tomorrow is a high calorie day, I might get a "treat", we'll see...

But exercise wise I'm going kickboxing for two hours. It's the, shall we say, "less vigourous" instructor tomorrow and I don't think it will be too :hyper: so I might squeeze in today's missed run at lunch tomorrow. Might.

OK good! I've thought about it and I kinda like what I did yesterday. So 12-1300 cals 40% protein/40%carbs/20% fats

45 minutes cardio
45 minutes weights ... which will be upper body but I'm not sure which parts just yet. Probably back and biceps.

ok I have been siting here thinking about what I am going to do for tomorrow..
I will keep my cals 12 to 1400 and get my full walk in I only did 1 mile today..
I will get try to do a full 45 min of the night workout in..
I will get more protein in tomorrow meals ..

Ok It's 19th.. and I'm laughing since I've got in my bag exactly what I said I would have! Creature of habit? Moi?

I had an omlette for breakfast with one egg and 2 egg whites and CHEESE! Yummy! Haven't had cheese in yonks, so thought I'd treat myself! Just need to buy some cottage cheese to make sure the rest of the day goes smoothly, and something else... something else to nibble on but I don't know what!

May I ask what a pumpkin fluffernugget is? Besides fun to say, of course :p

Well, I'm already slightly off my plan. I didn't have breakfast at home this morning, so I didn't have the glass of milk I'd planned on drinking, so now I should actually only have about 1750 calories instead of 1850 :D I did bring my english muffin and jelly to work, though, so I don't have to eat anything from the evil cafeteria downstairs :devil:

OOH, and I went to Target last night and bought one of those big exercise balls (a purple one, of course!). I guess in order for it to work, though, I should actually take it out of the box and inflate it :dizzy:

I think you get more exercise inflating it than doing crunches on it! Mine's still not big enough but I can't be bothered to pump it up more! :rofl:

Oh I found the "something else"... I bought a bag of Doritos one day this week and didn't eat them... they're my treat! Then I'm still 1500kcals, I was planning on being 1600 today and 1400 tomorrow or lower. I'll have to have some chicken or something when I get in from kickboxing.
