Roonytunes 2005

[*Bunny*]

Thanks Buns and Miss24K for the encouraging words. I know the scale is not the be all and end all, but it is just SO discouraging to see any kind of gain on it!

I had my bodyfat tested 3 weeks ago at 23.25%. I'm going back next week to the same trainer to get it done again. I'll also ask her to take tape measurements this time. Otherwise to me, it just seems that I look the same and my clothes fit the same....we are after all our own worst critiques!

But I so appreciate the support from you great ladies...I'll continue hanging in there. Patience, patience...I may eat my own hand while waiting tho'.

A gain of .5 lb? Sweet heart, have you looked in my log??

I left on thursday for Sassy's show at like 149, yesterday I was 163 and Now today i'm 154.8 ...

If you want to see what I look like check the Pics from my shoot in my sig...DO NOT get worked up over .5 lbs...

Got it? It's hard but COME ON GIRL, be strong...

My sista Sassy Pants made an important point...

...Never forget that weight and even bodyfat are still just data points ... snap shots in time. It is the TREND that you need to watch. THE TREND! Your body & your life are in a constant state of flux, responding to a veritable plethora of things that will impact you.

Track the numbers, but do not let them DEFINE who you are...

dying of a sore throat. looked through cabinets for best alternative among soup cans.
Chose Campbell's Select Chicken & Pasta (200 cals, 32g carbs, 14g protein, 2g fat, 1700g of sodium tho!!)
While it tasted like crap, it did make me feel much better overall. Then I kicked myself for forgetting to take Glucorell-R prior. Recovered by telling myself that I wasn't going to beat myself up over a stupid 200cal can o' soup.

Wed, 2/25
t-rex on empty stomach

still have bad sore throat, but tell myself I have to do am cardio.

Scale weight: 126lbs

6:45am:
35 mins cardio: 3 min warm-up, 9 min steady-state, 5 cycles of incline and speed intervals mixed up, 6 min harder steady-state, 5 min cool down

8am:
2 glucorell-R prior
1/2 cup oats
1 cup liquid eggwhites
1/4 cup soymilk
1/3 cup blueberries

So tomorrow I get my bf% retested after 3.5 weeks. Scale weight has barely budged, so it will be interesting to see if and how bf% has changed. I am happy though that I've kept to my original plan. Will be curious if trainer recommends tweaking it in any way. May bring measuring tape as well for her to take my measurements as a backup to callipers.

This weekend will prove to be extra challenging since I'm going to San Diego for the long weekend tomorrow evening. No real access to a kitchen or gym, but am hoping to find a gym to use if possible and am packing pouches of tuna and baggies of 15 almonds for 6 hr plane ride. Will eat sashimi and grilled fish at restaurants when possible with salads. Hope to do standby and come back on Sunday instead of Monday as originally booked, because I think 2 days off schedule for my body is better than 3!!
