Day 18

A) Foods

1 serving frosted mini wheats
16 oz water
handful of mini peanut butter crackers
Chicken and dumpling soup
1 mini can of diced peaches
handful of mini peanut butter crackers
20 oz diet pepsi

B) Workout

C) Observations

Oh, I've been so horrible at keeping this up. I also picked a really bad time to start monitoring all of this. But I was pretty good over Thanksgiving. I didn't eat diet food, but I ate less food than I usually do on a holiday. I was full but never over-stuffed. And I came home early. But no workout for more than a week. Boooo.

Day 12

Ok, so I went on vacation to Missouri, missed a whole bunch of days here, and ate a bunch of shitty good food and probably gained 5 pounds. Good trip though.

But here's day 12's stats:

A) Food
Granola Bar
Red Bull (sm)
Hormel microwave meal
1 packet popcorn
16 oz water
16 oz water with drink mix
16 oz water with drink mix
mini snickers
mini twix
100 calorie cheetos pack
small cheezit pack

B) Workout

C) Observations
I have jetlag and don't want to work out today. Is that so wrong? I also have the holidays coming up, and it's going to be really hard to eat healthy and get workouts in. Oy.

Day 6

A) Food Intake

Monster Blue

B) Exercise

C) Observations

Yoga is a sneaky workout. Your muscles never hurt til you try to use them later. My shoulders are very sore today, which was the muscle group we focused on in class, so that makes me happy. I was doing something right! Yays!

Day 5

A) Food Intake

Monster Energy drink
1 Granola Bar
3 pieces of dried fruit
Progreso soup
Dried Banana Chips
16 oz water
16 oz water with drink mix
more banana chips
more dried fruit
16 oz water
1 Packet popcorn
Hamburger patty
2 pieces of bread with margarine
Vanilla Coke Zero
some Nutella

B) Exercise

1 hour Yoga

C) Observations

I worked out really hard yesterday and I paid for it. I was super tired last night, and now today I'm kind of out of it. I think that may have to do with allergies or lack of water. I need to drink more water since I'm starting to work out more again. 8 glasses? I may shoot for half that, and everything else is bonus.

11/12/07

A) Food Intake

Granola Bar
Alamocha from Texpresso
16 oz water
Granola Bar
16 oz water with Crystal Lite add in
Beef tips with mashed potatoes
1 packet popcorn
1 Twix
4 Hersheys kisses
8 oz water with flavr mix (it was gross so i only drank half)
Handful of dried fruit
16 oz water
1 Smart Ones dinner
chips and salsa
1 Vanilla Coke Zero
2 fingers of nutella

B) Workout

40 minutes EFX
20 reps abs-leg shoulder lift
80 crunches mixed

C) Observations

I've seemed to have better success with eating less at first. Because I go a little nuts when I try to deny myself certain things. So I'm going to try the smaller portions approach first. Then later in my journey maybe I'll add in the cutting out certain things like sugars, carbs etc. The goal: sensible eating + working out.

For some reason I was really hungry today. I went to the gym twice, because I felt guilty about the candy bar. I need to find filling snacks for in-between meals. I'm thinking dried fruit and nuts, but that gets expensive really quickly.
