Day...10..only 80 More to Go.....

Well I have made it to day 10!  Woohooo......Only 80 more days to go.....

Cardio was my workout this morning..Felt good doing it, and think I did more than I have done in the past, so that is good!!!

Looking forward to this weekend, as it is 1/2 marathon day for the hubby!  Very excited for him and our friend Jess.  I'm sure they will do great!

Even though I just took pictures and measured this past weekend, I am going to do it again this weekend, because I would like to have measurements/pictures after every 2 week session.  Hopefully I can already see a difference!! :)

Whats on the Menu Today:

Breakfast: Steel cut oats with apples/pecans

Lunch: Soup and a salad

Snack: celery and peanut butter

Dinner: greek yogurt and a protein bar

Weigh in Day #2

Well it's the official weekly weigh in date.....I bet you are all as excited as I am to find out the results!!

My last weigh in was 257..and today i weighed in at 254...for a loss of 3 more lbs.  I'm very happy with that and if I continue to lose 3 lbs a week, I would be ecstatic!! 

This morning was workout 2, I think i'm getting better at each workout the more I do them...I'm kind of anxious and nervous for next week, when I start workouts 3 & 4.  I'm sure they will be more difficult, but I am always up for a challenge..

Whats on the menu today:

Breakfast : steel cut oats with apples/crushed pecans (Yummy!!)

Lunch: Leftover dinner from last night- Chicken Breast, 2 pieces of Broccoli, 2 pieces of potato

Snack: Hummus and Carrots

Dinner: Greek Yogurt and a Protein Bar

 True Words....

Start of Week 2

Well I have one week under my belt, and I'm feeling good.  Even though this morning I felt like I was doing the workout for the first time again!!.....That might have been from the lack of sleep this weekend...but that will hopefully end soon....Because when you are working out, you need to get good sleep! 

This morning I did workout 1...I will probably start adding cardio 4 times a week to start training for my triathlons.  I will try to run 2 days a week, and bike 1 day and swim 1 day as well.  I have 2 triathlons in August, and a 10K in October.  Those are the only races I have signed up for this year, and that is enough for me.  The training can be strenuous, but will work nicely into the program I am doing now.

Whats on the Menu:

Breakfast - Steel cut oatmeal with apples, agave, and chopped pecans

Lunch: Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup (140 Calories) Salad with tomato and avocado

Snack: Celery and almond butter

Dinner : TBD

That's Right! 

This is so true. Nothing worth having or doing is easy......but in the end it's totally worth it! Push yourself to be your best!

Started this morning off with my dentist appointment in Monticello (yep 1.5 hours away).  But had to get my teeth fixed...hopefully for the last time.
Plus side, I got to see my favorite dentist in the whole world! Dr. Wilson....

Downside, I have to figure out when I will work out...because after work today, I have work until 10:30..so I can either try to workout at 10:30 tonight, or do a double workout tomorrow..(odds are it's looking like double workout tomorrow.)  But will keep you posted.

Because I wasn't in my original environment today, I had to try to stay on track with calories without having my prepared meals.

On the Menu Today:

Breakfast: McDonalds Bannana Nut Blueberry Oatmeal - 290 calories and a coffee for 40 calories = 330 calories

Lunch: Chicken noodle vegetable soup - 180 calories and A salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, and an egg 200 calories = 380 calories

Pictures to come this weekend for my before shot...and remember

Day 3 :)

3 days down, and only 87 more to go..... :)  today's workout was double cardio day.  So I did workout cardio 1, and ran/walked 2 miles.  So I feel pretty good about myself today :)

I have been finding myself super hungry this week...as expected...when you sit down and actually think about how much food you are putting in your mouth you would be shocked!  So I knew this week would be a shocker to my body...I have done some research, and most people say the first week is the hardest, and starting next week it gets better....so here is crossing my fingers to that!!

It hasn't been hard to get out of bed in the morning, but i do find myself sleepy on the train on the way in, and in the afternoon around 3:00...my body isn't tired..just sleepy tired :)

On the Menu today:

Breakfast: was yummy!! had 2 poached eggs, 2 slices of canadian bacon, 1/4 avacado, 1 small tomato

Lunch:  1C. Vegetable Soup, Salad with Cucumbers, and 3 oz of Chicken

Snack: 1C. Plain Greek Yogurt, dash of vanilla, and 1 Tbsp of chopped pecans.

Dinner: Tomato Soup...(wasn't very hungry)
