Yesterday felt great. I was actually kind of tired all day and when I got to the gym I didn't really want to be there, but before I knew I had been there for an hour and a half and I wasn't really ready to be done, but I had to get home. I worked on my arms and legs again and then did 45 minutes on the elliptical and let me tell you, when I went to bed last night I could feel it in my glutes. Felt great though.
The only meal I messed up on yesterday was dinner, but it was totally worth it. After working out I met DH at mom's (he's re-doing the inside of the house after their "almost fire") and we had dinner with my mom and her DF and my sister. It was so much fun. I can't remember the last time we all laughed like that. We had Chicken Fajitas for dinner and I had 3. Lots of veggies though and whole grain tortillas, Lite sour cream, but the cheese wasn't. I probably wouldn't feel so bad if I had only eaten 2. And that's where I probably would have stopped if we were at home, but it's one of those things where you keep eating because you don't want the time to end.
So all in all it was a good day even though I gained back a half lb. It's weird I have a pattern going. I lose a lb one day and gain half back the next. Hey as long at it's only half I'm doing good. Tomorrow is going to be the tough one cause we are going to meet my uncle at Tully's (a sports bar) to watch the Syracuse game. I should look up the menu now and see if I can find the nutritional information and decide on what I'm ordering now!
Oh and I'm very happy about the fact that my sister is living back at home. She is 17 and she has been with her boyfriend for almost 5 years (April will be 5) they have "given each other space" a few times, but when the house stuff happened she moved in with him. (Did I mention he's 22 now I think maybe only 21). Anyway the are giving each other space again! But this time I think it's more perminent cause a friend of mine that know the DF and his friend asked me the other night if they broke up cause that's what he heard. I'm very happy about this cause I think she can do better and he doesn't appreciate her. Now I just have to figure out how to tell her that he is telling people they broke up. She thinks there is still a chance because he was almost crying when he told her she should move out. The poor girl doesn't realize that even when you are the one ending it after that long that it still hurts you too. It's the only boy she's ever been with and I've always believed that you need to have your heart broken to know true love. So how do I tell her?
Well now that I've written a novel I better check on everyone! Have a Happy Friday!!!
Well for the most part. I think the only bad thing was that I don't think I ate enough calories. I ate on plan all day. Red Berries cereal at 7:30, cereal bar at 10, Chocolate Delight cereal and carrots at noon, mini bag 94% FF Popcorn at 3 and some toast with mozzarella cheese on toast with sausage spaghetti sauce at 6. Then when I got home from pool I had some mashed potatoes. 1500 calories in all, not quite enough, but I was exhausted and went to bed.
I also and proud because at pool they had pizza, but I told my self if there is any left after you shoot you can have ONE piece (I knew I had enough calories left), but there wasn't any left. Oh and did I mention I was sitting right next to the hot fresh pizza for about an hour. It smelled so good. Then after I picked DH from bowling we went to McDonald's. No I didn't get anything, only him. That's when I went home and made mashed potatoes.
I also was a good girl and did 20 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of abs even though I didn't want to because I looked cute, but after I shower at night I don't put makeup and stuff back on. But I figured I'll look way better at pool next year if I sacrifice this year right?
On a happier note. My mom informed me last night that she has booked 2 rooms at the Turning Stone Casino and is giving DH and I each $100 to play with. And she is paying for everything because her and her db want to spend some fun time with us, but we've all been so busy and need a break. I don't know how excited I am about it, but I know DH and her DB will love it.
Well my boss just showed up and I better get to work. Have a good day it's almost Friday!!!
I'm proud of myself for the most part. I stuck to my eating plan, I kind of like this eating every 2 hours or so thing. I went to the gym after work today and it felt great! I did 30 minute on the elliptical and then 20 minutes strength training the arms and legs. The worst part of the day is that I made Chicken Parmesan for dinner and ate a little too much, the best part of the day is that I drank about 95oz of water. I just need to get more of it to be in the morning! I figure I ate somewhere around 2000 calories yesterday so I think I did good!
I'll check on everyone at lunch time. Have a happy hump day!!!
Well the first day of my new diet went pretty well. I ate a max of 1200 calories I think. I counted all of them until dinner. That was 700, but at dinner it was hard cause we had home made pizza and well I didn't know how much sausage and cheese and stuff like that DH put on there so I just ate it. And man was it good. Just as good as any delivery anyway, and I'm sure it's better for me. I also snuck a Reese's heart. Now I just have to learn to control portion size, but it will come!
I did my 40 minute Turbo Jam cardio work out and drank 71oz of water. I really want to go to the gym today. My knees are starting to bother a little from the jumping around in the video so I want to get on the elliptical for my cardio. DH is working for my mom this week though so hopefully I can go, I even brought my stuff with me!
Well it was a long two days in the car. Friday and Saturday were tough being that both days 8 hours were spent in the car. We had donut holes, sanwiches and sub on Friday, oh yeah and half a thing of peanut butter cup ice cream. And on Saturday I had a bagel with Cream cheese, an english muffin with peanut butter and honey and a sausage for breakfast, and well a bunch of other crap through out the day, it wasn't good.
Yesterday I went to AppleBee's for lunch and had the trio thing, buffalo tenders, steak wraps and the cheese spread stuff. Then some hamburger helper enchalada for dinner.
I know I gained weight because of the way I ate and I'm not drinking enough water. But I am proud that I got up Saturday morning and worded out at the hotel. That made 4 days this week.
I'm trying the special K challenge for the next two weeks. I'm hoping it will help me get rid of cravings for things I shouldn't be eating. And I'm trying to get all the water I can.
Well, I started out great, but it could have ended so much better.
Breakfast - Bowl of apple jacks with skim milk and coffe with FF creamer and splenda.
Snack - Banana with peanut butter
Lunch - Campbell's 98% FF Clam Chowder
Snack - Banana with peanut butter (I know I just love it!)
Dinner - 2 servings hamburger helper lasagna. (it was right after I worded out so I was starving).
Work out - Turbo Jam 20 minute Cardio work out and the Ab Jam workout.
I did get in all my water too, but while I was pool (the reason I had to eat right after working out) I couldn't resist the meatball subs. So I had 1 hotdog bun with 4 meatballs. Why can't I resist temptation? I guess one thing I have identified to work on. I just can't seem to watch other people eat without getting hungry, even if I'm not. And guess what, it resulted in gaining a half pound back.
Today I will only eat 3 meals and 2 snacks! Off I go. . .
Well, Tuesday was better than Monday for sure, but it wasn't great yet. I pretty much watched what I ate yesterday. I only had apple sauce for breakfast so when lunch came around and I had a chicken quesadilla and fries at Friendly's I wasn't too concerned. Then for dinner I had 2 small pieces of cube steak with Fat Free Cheese and 1/2 a serving of cheddar broccoli noodles. The even better news is that I did the 40 minute Turbo Jam work out before dinner. Now I just need to make sure I get in that last bottle of water and I'll be good.
I'm getting excited because this Friday I'm taking the day off of work and we are going with my MIL to visit our nephews. We haven't seen them in over a year and they don't even know we're coming. They are 14 and 15 and we're going to watch them wrestle and play basketball. They're going to be so excited. It's going to be a long trip though. 8 hours there and back and we're only staying for one night. So worth it though.
Well I'm off to check on all of you. Have a happy day!!!
I suppose it's my own fault really. I just decided yesterday morning that I was going to be back on the wagon without preparing. Basically while I was pregnant and exhausted and then depressed, I didn't do much grocery shopping. Just stopping when we needed things basically. Well Sunday I cleaned out the fridge and there was pretty much nothing left. Well we ended up going to dinner last night and I ate way too much. Then of course I didn't work out because it was late when I got home. I'm really mad at myself, but I won't let it get the best of me! I still have plenty of days left to work out 4 times this week. I do have to say that I did wonderful on my eating up until dinner last night.
Well ladies I found out Jan. 10th that I lost the baby. On the 8th I went in for an ultrasound because I was having some spotting and the heartbeat was low, the scheduled another ultrasound for the 10th and they couldn't find the heartbeat and I was starting to cramp. I had a D&C on the 11th. I was devestated, but now I realize that there was something wrong the with the development of the baby and it is better for me to go through the heartache now rather than a poor child to have to grow up with some sort of abnormality. DH has been wonderful and takes great care of me. We have decided to try again as soon as the doctor says it's ok.
I'm very proud of myself also because I was just over 7 weeks pregnant and I only gained 3lbs. This week I plan to start working out again with vengence. I want to lose as much as possible before becoming pregant again. This might sound silly, but I want as flat as a stomach as possible so that I don't look so "fat" next time and actually look pregnant. It's hard to believe that only 7 weeks along I only had 1 pair of jeans I didn't need to hold together with an elastic band.
Oh yeah and just an off topic note, even though I am married and I'm a mushy person, I thin Valentines day is rediculous holiday so I'm skipping to Easter!
Well as of today I'm 6 weeks and 2 days. I've been lucky so far, no morning sickness, but man am I exhausted! Not to mention that I had a cold since a few days after Christmas. I spent most of my week off in bed instead of getting things done like I wanted.
Christmas was great. Everyone said we gave them the best Christmas present ever. Here are a few pictures I got:
My mom and sister found out:
My Mother-in-Law found out:
Their faces were totally worth keeping it a secret for a week, as hard as it was.
Well I need to get back to work, but I wanted to check in and let you all know I'm doing good. Hopefully I can get on later and catch up on you all.
