[Day 29]

[Day 29 and weighing in at 135 lbs] stupid scale!!

Grilled up all my chicken for the week ...



Mmmm CHICKEN!!!

So this morning I pulled my bootie out of bed at 5:15 AM. To get to the gym by 5:40ish. But before that I inhaled some plain oats with splenda, made a quick cup of black coffee, made it into an iced coffee with a little splenda and ate 4 hard boiled eggs, removing the yolks of course. Nothing like being half asleep and not realising that I didn't take off all the eggshells. Mmm crunchy...

Lemme just say ... my husband is pretty awesome and he got up with me even though he doesn't usually get up till 7:15AM. He works out at the gym next to his work. So we both left the house at the same time to go workout. He went to his gym and I went to mine. Even though we didn't workout together lemme just say it helped to get up together and leave the house at the same time. I'm so NOT a morning person.


Meals:
Lean, clean and often. This is the yummy spinage salad I made. Mmm tangerines (fresh off our tree)some almond slices, grilled chicken, 1 tbp of Italian dressing only 10 calories. YUM!!


And I tried the chocolate peanut butter Myoplex bar. I didn't care for this one, not as much as the Mint, that one was good ... like a 10 this one was like a 6.





Workout:
I went to the gym twice today once in the AM by myself and in the evening with the hubby-cakes.
AM WO:
*1.0 mile on the treadmill with an incline of 10.0 at 3.5 mph
*1.0 mile between 3.5-5.5 mph
*StairMaster for about 20 minutes on level 5
*Light arm resistant workout for 1.0 mile at 2.5 mph (It's a cool machine, don't know what it's called but think of a treadmill for your arms
And finished up with about 20 minutes of stretching.
PM WO: with the hubby-cakes
*BFL Upper body workout

[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 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!!
