Weight: 228.8 (down 2)
Activity: Wall push ups 100 (my challenge is 300 this week and to work in knee or toe push ups in it)
Strength Training using 5lb DB and doing 3 or more sets of 10 or 15 reps of Bicep Curls, Overhead Shoulder Press, Tricep Kickbacks, DB punches (forgot to log that on phit-n-phat)
Without weights crunches 50, lunges 3 sets of 10, calf raises 3 sets of 30, squats 3 sets of 10. I was able to do these at the shop this morning :) Being the weight I am - doing these exercises working against my bodyweight is effective. With extra weights it is better but if I can accomplish them at work and save myself time at night that's okay with me. You may just end up seeing dumbbells at Soul Sanctuary someday lol.
Cardio: WATP 3 miles using 5lb DB for 45 minutes.
Food:
B: apple, oatmeal (not so crazy about the gluten free brand I bought last night - maybe the instant has alot of sugar and that is why I came to like that)
S: Mozzarella stick, pretzel sticks
L: 4 oz turkey breast, cup of steamed veggies (OMG if you knew me 10 years ago then you know hell froze over in my world), FF pudding
S: Almonds, apple, protein shake, 1 oz dark chocolate
D: ((planned at 2pm))Sirloin dinner at Ruby Tuesday (651 cals) since I've started my workout already and plan to do more tonight after dinner I need to get in 2,300 calories. Even with one of the highest calorie filled fit & trim selections I'm 700 calories shy of my target. Hmm I may opt for one of the other items on the menu but they don't list those calorie counts (only the ones for the fit & trim selections) now what??? Do I chance it and go for something else knowing that I could possibly go over on my calories but also may come out just about right? Restaurants really need to list the nutrition facts for all their food selections. I also am not crazy about having steak as it sits in your intestines for so long yuck. I really feel ill when I think about how long it takes for us to expend red meat. I may go for a fish dish, as I'm trying to steer clear of chicken, I get that enough at home now :).
Okay its 10:59pm and I ended up with the petite sirloin with only 561 calories (minus whatever half the potatoes would be, not crazy about them), salad and one carrot cupcake (estimating that at 350 calories) its hard to track when you eat out!
So with my added snacks of an apple, protein shake, dark chocolate and dessert I'm at approx 2,286 calories. That's close enough for me. :) Honestly I'm eating more now and losing weight then I was 2 months ago. I simply changed most of the foods I eat and now I'm exercising too.
I am just going to have to accept 236.2 as my starting weight and leave it at that (even if its not completely accurate - darn dial scale). I keep messing up what I think my total loss is because I had 239 stuck in my head from the first day and for some reason thinking 237.2 lately and thinking I had lost 9 with only 3 left to go. Its messing with me lol. So I declare - I started this leg of my journey at 236.2 and today I am 228.8 for a 7.4 pound loss (Yay by the way) that means I have 4.6 left to lose before the 31st (that was my original goal for January). Since I lost about a week due to increasing my calories and may stall again according to Corinne at Phit-n-Phat I will accept what my body gives me for results and set my new goal on February 1st for the month. Its all good and I'm feeling great and feeling strong.
Tomorrow: 2,280 calorie goal, Cardio (Tae Bo since i didn't get it in tonight), Pushups for my challenge, and more water, thursday upping the DB weights to 8lbs.
