Fighting for it

man, I really had to fight for it this morning, and I still burned less calories than yesterday doing the shred video. I'll have to amp it up a little tommorrow.

For Laura: Yesterday was the first day of the new plan, and I actually wasn't all that hungry... even though I was focused entirely too much on what I was/was not eating. I was impressed w/ how well I did. My problem time is in the late afternoon, right before dinner and I just stayed strong and didn't snack. The weight watchers meal is a prepackaged thing, and I ended up opting to have a salad instead because I just wasn't feeling the whole frozen tv dinner vibe.

*yawn* I better hustle into the shower, I've got about 35 minutes to get ready and get the boys up.

Here's today's plan, basically the same as yesterday, I'll update it if it changes.

6am........oatmeal w/ raisins.........225 cals
9am........yogurt and cereal..........250 cals
12pm.......WW Spaghetti and pudding...370 cals
3pm........carrots and hummus.........130 cals
6pm........salad......................220 cals
8pm........pudding....................60 cals

grand total: 1255
total water intake: 3 liters

Excercise:
Day 8 of 30 day shred
40 minutes on treadmill

total calories burned from exercise:650

Monday Monday (Dah dah ... dah dah dah dah)

Ok, new plan this week. My dieting behavior is nothing short of schizophrenic, so this week's plan is different from last week, and who knows what bug I'll get for next week.

Actually, when something works, I do tend to stick with it. But the catch is that I need to see it working in that first week or I lose focus/motivation/will/ and desire to complete it.

So, that being said, I am counting calories and eating every 3 hours. My goal is to stay at 1200ish calories.... here is what today's plan is:

6am........oatmeal w/ raisins.........225 cals
9am........yogurt and cereal..........250 cals
12pm.......sandwich and pudding.......285 cals
3pm........carrots and hummus.........130 cals
6pm........salad....200 cals
8pm........glass of wine..............120 cals

grand total: 1210

Excercise:
Day 7 of 30 day shred
45 minutes on treadmill

Total Calories Burned: 708

Day 4

Ok, I hate to admit it, but the workout is actually getting easier. Not as easy as laying on the couch, surfing the net and watching last night's ER... which is sooo what I would've rather been doing at 4am... but after I puttered around the house this morning and guzzled some coffee I did it and man... I almost didn't have to stop to catch my breath, and I for sure didn't feel like I was dying.

And I think I only thought "You are out of your effing mind" once when we were doing the jumping jacks/jumprope combination.

today's food... (I will likely go over points and bah. whatever. I am THISCLOSE to scrapping ww anyway, because I don't think I'm going to lose anything while eating 1700 freakin calories. gah.)

Day three. Bah.

I did it, and while at first I was unwilling to admit that anything was getting easier, it occurred to me about halfway through that it was a smidgen easier. That's something, right? It better be. Considering I stepped on the scale this morning and was up two effing lbs. GAH!

Anyhoo, here's the meal breakdown today... (oh and ps, yesterday ended up being a bust. don't ask... no cookies or candy, but some poor choices when it came to crackers and zucchini bread last night. )

Day 1 Redux.

So I just completed Day one of the 30 day Shred. Technically I challenged myself on Sunday to do the 30 days, but I skipped yesterday and instead spent all of my energy doing laundry, running to winco, then to costco, and taking a nap on the couch. I have no excuse... I was as disgusted as can be.

So today is now day one... I've taken my measurements and weighed myself... I am beyond frustrated at my eating habits, my weight... my lack of self control. You name it.

Anyway... that's where I'm at. Day one. Had to keep stopping for breaks because I thought I was going to pass out. Let's hope I get over it and kick this dvd's ass.

Ps. I will be updating this daily to (if nothing else) keep a log of what I'm shoving in my piehole. Feel free to give me feedback. Just don't call me fat or I'll probably cry.

Pps. Tommorrow is one week ONE WHOLE WEEK without candy. or cookies. You have no idea how big this is.
