[WoNderWoMan25]

So I never made it to the gym yesterday. I feel like such a slacker, but can't wait to get my suppliments shipped! Should have them by Friday.

Mocha protein shake with skim/chocolate pp/instant coffee/ice

Added a bit of hot water to the oatmeal and a few raisins. Microwaved for 45 seconds and went at it- yummy!

Nice job on the diet!!

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Nice job on the diet!!

Yeah, thanks!! I can't believe the difference in 'real' oatmeal. The taste, texture, consistency... Good stuff! I also bought some pumpkin pie spice to try in it. Some frozen raspberries too to ensure I won't be bored w/it.

Meal 4, 4:30 PM
Medium sized apple & 12 almonds

Workout 5:45-ish PM
Legs, wanting to go 20-30 mins of cardio
PWO Shake

Meal 5, 7:30 or 8PM
6-8 oz chicken breast
fresh asparagus ($4.99/lb but it looked sooooo good)
1/2 cup brown rice if I end up cooking it or salad if I end up making it

 

[*Bunny*]

hehe Oatmeal took a little while to get use to for me, but with the cinn & Splenda it goes down much better
Great job!

 

[buffalogal]

If the cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice doesn't work with the oatmeal, definitely try the raspberries. That's the best!!

Soooo stressed out @ work, the new boss is back in town for evaluations, staffing plans, the 'next steps'.... Trying to sell the truck, moving into a new apartment, and getting ready for our sales achiever trip to Orlando in two weeks. Slowly starting the talks & planning THE BIG MOVE out west. Shooting for March 07, if we can compromise on the exact location!! Revised new years resolution- This stress is going to make me work out more, not eat more!!

American Idol & lots eggs/egg whites mixed with american cheese, peppers, onions, mushrooms. 3 links all natural turkey sausage. two slices whole wheat toast.

I am stuffed. No gym today, but will make it up tomorrow. AM cardio session, PM for bis and back.

Keep your head up and keep plugging away!!

 

[WoNderWoMan25]

Keep your head up and keep plugging away!!

Thank you!!! I needed that! Today was a much better day. Jam packed FULL at work, but not only did I get 50 mins of cardio in before, I left with so much more energy and clarity than the day before.

CARDIO SESSION & 8 oz OJ with creatine, 6 AM

WORKOUT, 6PM
Back (seated rows, lower back extensions, lat pulldowns) with a few sets of cable crunches thrown in

Biceps (dumbell curls, then cables with arms extend at shoulder height- curling inward towards head- do these have a name?, then reverse preacher curls... finally ending with some pull ups. Breakthrough moment, I do five unassisted pull ups with no one touching or holding my feet. I spent so much time on the assisted chin up/dip machine that pull ups have been tough. Then I decide to show the bf up (after he curls his 80 lb dumbells) that I *can* curl those 37.5 pounders, at least once or twice. Ah ha- THREE TIMES w/RIGHT, TWO AND A QUARTER TIMES w/LEFT ARM!

Meal 4, 8PM
8 oz chicken breast
couple handfuls tortilla chips
1.5 cups cauliflower

FEEL GOOD TODAY! Lighter and tighter!!

Weekend went okay, had Mexican on Saturday night for Mom's birthday plus a (shared!) piece of bday cake. Put on a security deposit on the new apartment WHICH IS ABOUT A FIVE MIN DRIVE FROM OUR GYM!! No excuse to not do cardio in the AM and when the weather gets warmer I can even walk there. We're also a walk away from the stadium & track. Woot!!!!

Did good yesterday at superbowl party! We brought a veggie platter and two types of wings so I could stick to non-buffalo wing chicken and celery basically. I didn't touch any potato chips which are amoung my hardest-to-resist list.

so sore from working legs yesterday. i was excited to see fred at the gym. he's an all-natural body builder, eight weeks out from a show. he took some time with me yesterday as he always does b/c he'd love for me to kick it into high-gear and try a show myself. Anyway, I did get to work out with him and I squatted 205 for 4 reps towards the end of my workout. going for shoulders & triceps with 18-25 mins of HIIT tonight.

Bought new protein powder today- final day of Vitamin World's sale

Trying a new fish/flax combo suppliment 2x daily instead of just an Omega 3-6-9 pill 3x daily

Trying a new bread made by a local bakery & sold in Hannaford grocery stores. 100% whole wheat and all natural. Has about five or six ingredients and I can pronounce them all.

Also went with a 'no sugar added' peanut butter, I think it might be Peter Pan? Sweetened with Splenda. Yuuueecck... no good. Weird consistency & I'll stick with my all natural.
