Exercise/Diet ROLL-CALL!

[JENESIS]

This is an excellent idea. Just reading what you girls have done today makes me feel really guilty. I have not exercised at all today!

 

Maybe this is what I need to give me that extra kick.

[JENESIS]

I figure I should write down my eating diary since it is 7:37 and it might stop me from eating any more.

 

Breakfast: Grape Nut Flakes

Half a banana

 

Lunch: Apple

Ham, tomato and mustard sandwich

 

Snack: 6 tortilla chips

Bite of a plum

3 carrot sticks

 

Dinner: Chicken breast stir fried with pepper, onion, mushroom

White rice

 

Snack: Miniature Hershey's Extra Dark

 

That was kind of therapeutic.

Ok well yesterday was a bust for me, Didn't end up having time to work out. Today our boys (by boys I mean our two dogs) go to daycare so Cain and I will be working out together doing weight training. Our focus today will be upper body.

Ok, here's my diet/exercise for Monday 10-2. I wasn't feeling like starting my diet today, so this is pretty bad:

 

Breakfast:

Protein bar

 

Lunch:

Cheeseburger & 4pc Chicken Nugget from McDonalds

 

Afternoon snack:

3 snack size Almond Joy bars

 

Dinner:

Spaghetti with no-meat sauce & 2 pcs Garlic Bread

 

 

Exercise: Tae-Bo Bootcamp 30 min

 

Today I'm officially starting the diet up again and my scale is stashed away in the closet, we'll see how it goes...

Good morning ladies! Well, I did pretty good yesterday...

 

Excercise: 2.5 mile power walk in the am; squats & lunges in the bathroom while getting ready (hey, I'm a multi-tasker!)

 

Breakfast: Kashi Go Lean cereal w/soy milk & peach slices; coffee w/soymilk & splenda.

 

Lunch: Leftover grilled pork chop w/small portion of mashed potatoes (bad!) and peas.

 

Dinner: Grilled chicken breast & big green salad w/tomatoes & bell peppers, small serving steamed rice.

 

NO WINE!!! I had sparkling water instead. It was hard.

Christa - I slipped and had a glass of red wine... I was doing so good, but we had a girl's get together to watch The Bachelor season premier. That show is SO funny!

 

Last night I got about 5 minutes of cardio because I left work later than I had planned, but I did get to the weight lifting class and I HURT. My gosh, I'm out of shape!

 

Today it's kickboxing and abs.

karla, i took some one on one classes...i am pretty athletic naturally and played tennis, soccer, vollyeball throughout high school and soccer in college BUT let me tell you pilates kicked my ass!! i was shaking during and after the class.

i actually get better results doing light cardio and weights though because i could only afford to have 1 private session a week and that is not going to do it with pilates...so before the wedding, i had 1 maybe 2 sessions a week with a trainer but he would give me a detailed workout sheet so i would go into the gym, 2-3 time w/o him and do what he said...then i would meet with him, he would check out my progress, bump me up in weight or reps, etc. for the next week.

ok, i have been a sack of shit since i got married...i just busted my butt so much before the wedding...i am going to go to the gym today...

 

so yesterday:

 

breakfast:

tall white mocha (starbucks)

 

lunch:

1/2 ham/cheese sando (onlu at 1/2 bread)

small green salad

 

dinner: took clients out

shrimp dumplings

black cod & spinach

KarlaV - My friend used to do pilates on a reformer 3 times a week. I have to say that I think (as she told me) that's it's not worth it. You can get better results with weights and even light cardio. To be hnest I think she never lost a pound and she was diligent. However if you have problems with your back I heard it can be really good because it focuses on core strengthening.

Karla! You were my inspiration! And you had a glass of wine Just kidding. I think I like your idea of saving drinks for get togethers & special situations. For instance, I'm getting together with my BFF tomorrow night for a catch up session, so I'll allow myself an alcoholic bev. Otherwise I might kill myself.
