One Pound at a Time
I weighed myself a few days ago and was down one pound from my last weigh in. For right now my actual weight will stay between me and the scale :-) Maybe I'll be confident enough to share at some point heehe.
My workout routine and eating have stayed mostly the same, hence lack of blogging. I've been walking at the gym every morning for 15-18 minutes. 15% incline and sticking between 3.0 and 3.5 mph each time.
Also have been going in the evenings about 3 nights a week, or working out in the afternoon.
Yesterday I did my entire 20 minute morning walk at 3.5 mph 15% incline. I'm trying hard to listen to my body, and push just a little harder rather than being lazy and letting it be easy.
For the next two weeks I'm drinking protein shakes in the morning and evening, and eating a solid lunch.
Breakfast :
Chocolate protein shake- 8carbs 230 calories
(made with 16oz skim milk)
Lunch
cottage cheese
2 pieces of turkey sausege
2 pieces of swiss cheese
3 chunks of watermelon
3 celery slices
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
Dinner
Chocolate protein shake-8 carbs 230 calories
(made with 160z of skim milk)

Low Carb Mania
I told you I'd get back on the wagon this morning.
I got up and went to the gym at 6:30. Have I mentioned how much I hate that hour of the morning? But by the end at 7 I really did feel better. Its a good way to start my morning. Walked for 20 minutes 15% incline 2.5 mph. Plus about 1/4 mile walk or so to/from the gym.
I'm going to attempt to be more low carb and sugar saavy..bye bye cranberry sauce..I enjoyed our time while it lasted. Bread? We were friends, but I think its time to move on. Pasta.. I'm using my noodle and choosing more wisely.
Its not always easy to stick to a specific eating plan here, but I'll try to stick as close to this as I can. I'm hoping it will break the stop in weight loss I've had.
Breakfast
Egg white omlet w/turkey cheese and mushroom
1/4 cup of cottage cheese
a palmful of mixed nuts
1 liter of water
Lunch:
Slice of ham
green veggie mix (Brocoli, squash, and peas)
cucumbers
a little shredded cheese
1 liter of water
Dinner:
Baked Chicken skin removed
cucumbers
green beans
shredded cheese
.5 liter of water
Snack
10 pistachio nuts
3 pieces of celery w/ less than a tablespoon of peanutbutter
1 dark chocolate covered blueberry
2 liters of water
-------edit---------
Did my evening workout.
35 minutes on the treadmill 15% incline 2.5 mph plus a 5 min cool down
80 crunches

Monday monday monday
Ahhh Monday. Even though we don't really get a weekend here, we still apparantly get Mondays.
The new sneakers I ordered came in the mail. (YAY). Wore them to the gym this morning and they hurt my feet terribly. (BOOOO). So back they will go. I think I'll try a pair of New Balance or something this time.
Sunday was my cheat day, but I still tried to keep it mostly in check. French toast for breakfast and oatmeal for lunch. Gyro minus the bread for dinner.
Today begins a whole new week. Its getting to hot and to wet outside to be walking in the morning, so Jamie and I are taking it to the gym! We've started walking at a 15% incline 2.5 mph for about 20 minutes in the morning. Afternoon...the dreaded P90X. Hopefully this will let me just do a light T-Tapp or walk in the evening. I am old and go to sleep early. Like 10. Maybe 9 lol.
Breakfast
Oatmeal with nuts and splenda
Applesauce
2 pieces of turkey sausege
Lunch
Small chicken caesar salad
cranberry sauce
peas
cottage cheese
mushrooms and onions
Dinner
Granola w/raisins
skim milk
-----EDIT------
No p90x tonight, someone was on the TV at the gym. BUT be proud! I walked 30 minutes 15% incline 2.7 mph and 20 mins on the eliptical 1.75 miles total.
