[Day 26]

[Day 26 and weighing in at 135.9 lbs]

A little up on the scale today by .9. Whatever, I'm hating the scale today. But I can't get all crazy because it's not like 3lbs up. So I'm shutting up and keeping my focus. If at first you don't succeed… curse and swear, tear your hair out in frustration, sulk, come close to giving up, do more research, get some fresh air, get hopeful, read fabulous comments from all your blogger friends. And when you do succeed, keep your fingers crossed and pray to the fitness gods that you can keep succeeding.

It was so awesome to log in today and see more comments. I never imagined that people would even ever care to read about my journey. It's pretty cool!! And I just wanted to say THANK YOU and I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!

So I have some bit of exciting and challenging news. My husband and I signed up for a marathon that takes place in September. SO nervous but excited as well. :D

Workout:
So today's workout is cardio I ran on 5.5 mph for 2.0 miles. Feeling pretty good. But after I was supa-dupa hungry so I went next door to the RITE AID drugstore. They sell GNC stuff so I knew that they would have something with a good carb/protein balance. This is what I bought:


[EAS Myoplex nutrition bar] It has 25g or high quality protein I got the Chocolate Mint and it was YUMMY!! I would so get it again. However I am watching my FAT and sugar and sodium intake. This bar contained 8g of total fat, 290 mg of sodium and 12g of sugar. It was between this bar and a Muscle Milk bar and EAS beat it by a landslide. Oh and it is a supplement that BFL recommends so that works for me!!

Meals:
Lean, often and balanced :D

ta-ta for now ... until tomorrow

[Day 11]

[Day 11 and weighing in at 137.5]

Ok so I know I've got some explaining to do about the few empty posts. I have been busy with home life and work. However if I don't find the time to blog a post I'll at least be sure to post my weight.

I can say that the past few days have been very good with both my meals and workouts.
I'm feeling pretty good and starting to realise I'M WORTH IT!! I was sad and depressed about allot of stuff going on in my life for a real long time. Allot of old and new stuff, just a mess. But my faith and training has certainly helped me stay focused on finding JOY again in my life. So whenever I start to get sad or think negative thoughts. I think NO, I'm worth MORE then all this negative garbage around me. I try my best to FLICK it off as if it's a bug. You know why ... because I'm worth feeling safe, happy and joy in my life.

I'm starting to tighten up on my eating and really focus on my meals more then ever this week. I'm not going to have a cheat at all. I've started a food journal so I can document what I'm eating. I'll even take pictures of some of my meals and post them. I'm not counting calories like I use to but rather portioning my food.

Meals:
This is what I ate today and what I entered into my food journal:
Meal 1: a cup of black coffee with 2 table spoons of splenda and 4 egg whites with zero calorie butter spray. [I'm addictive to that stuff]
Meal2: Turkey [about the size of my palm] and brussel sprouts [about the size of my fists]
Meal 3: An apple
Meal 4: EAS protein and a handful of unsalted almonds
Meal 5: An apple
Meal 6: Turkey [about the size of my palm] steamed carrots [about the size of my fist] and mashed potatoes about the size of my fists]
Meal 7: A fruit smoothie with fresh fruit splenda and ice

Workout:
BFL upper body workout

[Day 7] [WEEK ONE]

[Day 7 and weighing in at 138.5]
Umm ok ... umm what's going on? I put on weight? What the eff? I'm so hoping that it's muscle, please be muscle!I've been working hard and have been lifting heavy weights like a maniac. So fingers crossed that its muscle and not fatty-mic-fat.

Meals:
Pretty good today, I feel like a week on BFL has helped me feel more confident. No real changes yet... well none that I can see. Today after my workout I picked up some EAS Myoplex Carb Control Ready-to-Drink French Vanilla shakes. It's pretty good and very light tasting with only 110 calories. I plan on drinking this as a snack in between meals, when I'm crunched for time or didn't pre-plan out my meals. Ok so you might have noticed that I only post my weight yesterday and nothing else. Well, that's because I SUCK and was pressed for time.

Workout:
So today as a crazy person, I worked out HARD, to makeup for yesterday. I did BFL upper and lower body weight training and cardio. I feel over worked but caught up. I know for a fact that tomorrow my whole body is gonna be sore. But I like when it's sore. :D Ha ha ha just a few minutes ago as I tried to sit down I felt like an old lady or pregnant woman lowering myself down to the couch. Ohh bring on the pain!!
