Day 2
I think the hardest thing is the planning for meals. Mydiary.com seems to be the best solution to planning. Kim has it right to look at percentages. 20% Fat, 30% Protein and 55% carbs. I actually took a walk after supper last night after a full day at the convent. It was a beautiful night and I walked with no music and just thought of what a wonderful creation God has made. I have also invited God into my journey. He helped me overcome the alcohol thing and I'm counting on Him to help me through this once and for all.

Today in a nutshell - ate according to the plan I created for myself today and was able to get in some bonus exercise tonight. After eating my popcorn dessert, I found myself in the kitchen looking for what, I do not know but I managed to talk myself out of the kitchen and not sabotage a really great day.
ReplyDeleteAlso managed to drink 60 oz of water....making 60 trips to the bathroom :0

And that's with eating an ENTIRE bag of my new favorite Orville Radenbacher 94% Fat Free Kettle corn! I just wanted to graze what can I say, figured that was safer just letting myself enjoy it all rather than going on a search & destroy mission in the kitchen.
Cardio: Ran 6 miles - burned 587 calories
Weights: Legs - burned 301 calories
Broke down and got on the scale this morning - a mono - should have waited til Wednesday - 142.2 down a whole .2 grrrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteBut you are DOWN in weight and not going in the reverse direction. I wish I knew why it is so easy to gain a pound and almost monumental feat to lose a pound. Just keep planning and journaling your meal, keeping within your caloric range with the right ratio's along with exercising and you will lose the weight...it's a proven theory. Don't give up as the only that happens when we do that is add on more pounds to our body.
ReplyDeleteMy goal today:
ReplyDeleteEat was only I have planned out for the day and nothing more.
Drink at least 50 oz of water throughout the day
Exercise
Feel great that I am doing all the right things to lose the weight.
Kim's Monday's Journal:
ReplyDeleteGreat start to the week, I am bound and determined to run this half marathon with at least 1 less pound of me. I drank at least 60 fluid ounces of water and yes I made at least 60 trips to the bathroom. Taught Spinning Class and burn 674 calories. The stuffed peppers that I made with the 96% lean ground beef are fantastic, really a complete meal, packed with protein and seriously fill you up.

Mom, it is not possible to up 1.4 pounds after really modifying your diet plus the exercise, we know that the our weight fluctuates for reasons that our beyond us.
ReplyDeleteAsk yourself...how have I been feeling for the past week? If you have felt really good, felt in control of your food intake, felt like you lost weight before you stepped on the scale this morning? Then you are doing your personal best and the weight is/will come off...I promise you.
DO NOT QUIT!
As for me, I was too much of a chicken to step on the scale as I knew it would break my heart and devastate me. Instead I am using the Accumeasure calipers to measure my success, at least for a while.
ReplyDeleteLast week by body fat was 26 mm and today was 24 mm so I know that I am heading in the right direction. I feel great, feel like I am down and swear my stomach is not sticking out as much.
For the next week I am just going to keep this momentum going and keep those calipers moving to a lower number.

ReplyDeleteGiving up at the first obstacle or failure
Success strategy:
Persisting through every adversity until you succeed
I'm sticking to my 21 day habit former idea. If i can stick to something for 21 day it becomes a habit.

Overall I had a really good day, everyday feeling better and better both physically and mentally about how I look. Although I have a ways to go on this journey, the little steps and changes I make everyday will eventually add up to a total body transformation.

ReplyDeleteShort term perspective: “I’m going on a 12 week program”
Success strategy
Long term perspective: “This is a lifelong journey”
Oh mama! yesterday you only consumed 17% of your calories in protein?!?! Although you ate sensible meals without a lot of refined carbs you, still did not eat enough protein.
ReplyDeleteRemember we want to lose fat not weight.
Today is a new day - weight 143.8 - so down from that nonsense of yesterday but still .4 higher than my starting weight. Did not get to exercise yesterday - mistake. Hopefully today if the rain stops. Did not get my water, fruit or veggies yesterday. Will do better today!!

Yikes, woman...where is your protein?! 30%! You've only got half! But gold star for staying within your caloric range. Keep up the great work! Skinny jeans look out for the Thurber girls!

Question is....how do I not undo all of my hard work this weekend traveling the next two days and being out of my routine and element?
ReplyDeleteI am not exercising as I am suppose to be resting my legs so with that in mind I will try to stay on the lower side of my calorie range which is no easy feat when traveling. Will try to plan out my day tonight.
Yes, I will burn a few extra calories on Sunday but how do I avoid looking at the day as an all out eating binge because of a decent run?
Skinny thoughts of me getting looking lean and mean while on my Quintana Roo will just have to do the trick!
Oh did I mention 7 weeks until Tom Venuto's 49 day holiday challenge? I failed to mentally focus on the summer challenge but was rocked last year's challenge. So my goal for the next 7 weeks is get back to where I was when I finished the challenge in January so that when this one starts I can finish the job so that definition in my muscles start to show.
