Another day, another workout!
Food today was: breakfast was Easy Mac and a banana. Lunch was a frozen meal and an applesauce. Then early afternoon I had a protein shake. I took D to the doc this afternoon so nothing else til right before the workout, we skimmed by Taco Bell and I had a couple crunchy tacos. This evening after the gym, I had a pbj sandwich and am ending my day at, oddly enough, exactly 1700 calories.
Workout was 30 minutes on the treadmill, and then about 30 min or so going through the weight machines.

Back from a rest day
Made sure to go get my groove on this evening at the gym! So yay, that makes 4/5 days this week so far! I'm pretty tired after being up most of last night due to the storms and D's fear of thunder, so going to make this brief and head to bed.
Food: Breakfast was a protein shake, but then I was kinda hungry midmorning so had a cup of Easy Mac and a banana. Lunch was ravioli, some Fritos, and apple sauce. I had a yogurt in the afternoon. Then I had a PBJ before my workout. I was going to have salad afterward, but my lettuce was yucky. BOO. So I had some spaghetti and a Vitamin Water to end my day at 2111 calories.
For my workout, I did 30 min on the treadmill, and then my usual weight machine routine. It took about 30 minutes to get through that.

Rest day
Yay I got to rest my poor thighs today. They are still pretty sore but I'll be back tomorrow working them to get strengthened. Can't wait!
Food today wasn't stellar. I forgot this evening that we had to run an errand so ended up grabbing fast food. Blah. Breakfast was a protein shake, and then a yogurt midmorning. Lunch was a frozen meal plus some fritos and applesauce. Dinner was a burger and small fries. It could have been worse I guess, but blech. This evening I had my tbsp of honey to end my day at 1980 calories.
No workout today. Yay! :P

Sore sore sore
SO I woke up this morning with my thighs aching from the workout yesterday. I guess that means it was a good one! Ha. After falling yesterday, I am now determined to strengthen my thighs more so that this doesn't happen again. So I made sure to work that area today at the gym. I'm paying for it though. OUCH. I'm so glad that tomorrow is a rest day. I realized last night that it's SO not gonna go well with D if I keep him up late every night of the week to workout, so I'm taking off Mondays and maybe Thursdays. My body will need the rest as well. I want to be smart about this but also get into a good routine.
Food was decent today. I made a huge grocery shopping trip so this week should be good too! I didn't have much for breakfast, just some cheese and crackers, and then 2 small bottles of gatorade during the workout. Afterward, we went to go eat at Jason's Deli. Yes, again. lol I had a cup of broc cheese soup, a big salad, and added some grilled chicken to it. I also had some apple slices and a small choc ice cream. This afternoon, I had a bottle of Vitamin Water. This evening, I had my tbsp of local honey, and then a banana, Lipton Butter noodles (no butter added), and a glass of 1% milk. Yummy! I ended my day at 2026 calories.
Workout...20 minutes on the treadmill, then 10 minutes on the stationary bike, and then about an hour doing the weight machines. My workout buddy and I have kinda gotten into a routine of what to do. We spent over an hour at the grocery store too. Mommy is ready for bed!

Long day
But a good day. I overslept a bit so was about 10 minutes late to the gym. I'm so glad I have a workout buddy because odds are, without knowing she was waiting, I likely would have skipped it. But we did good. Spent about 1.5 hours there. And apparently I worked out SO good that my legs had no more energy left in them when we left. I stepped down off the step and BAM, my knee gave way and I hit the ground. Fortunately, I'd already changed into my jeans so the concrete didn't tear my knee up too bad.
Ok on to food. I did pretty good today. Before the workout, I had some peanut butter crackers and 1.25 bottles of gatorade during it. Afterward, my workout buddy and I took our kiddos to Chili's for lunch. I had some chips and salsa, and then the sweet and spicy chicken (grilled chicken with a sauce, plus rice and broccoli). I added a house salad to that with ranch (but took off the croutons), and unsweet tea. In the afternoon, I had another bottle of gatorade. And for dinner, D and I hit up Jason's Deli. I had a cup of broccoli cheese soup, a salad, and some apple slices to end my day at 2020 calories.
For workout, I did 5 minutes on the elliptical (which is what got my legs all trembly and weak...lol). Then 15 min on the treadmill, 10 minutes on the stationary bike, and then the weight training. Yesterday, we did just 1 set of 15 reps each on everything. Today we bumped to 3 sets of 15 reps each for most things. Then after eating lunch, we walked around the outlet mall near us for over 2 hours, and ended up circling the entire mall. I'm tired!! But feeling good...even my knee doesn't feel too bad from where I fell on it. Gotta keep moving!

Let's get this started
Ok day 1. It's not a pretty picture. I weighed in at 347.2. Now granted that's not the highest I've been. I've topped out at 360lbs so...yeah. But still. BAD. According to Lose It, where I track my food, I can have 2339 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week. Well, my goals are more than that, so I likely won't be near that many cals. I'd like to keep it around 1700-1800 a day. But we'll see.
Ok on to the food tracking. Due to extenuating circumstances (have been fighting a nasty sore throat the last two weeks), I need to have something hot and soft for breakfast. So I've taken to having a bowl of Easy Mac. It works well enough to soothe my throat. I added a banana to it this morning as well afterward, and a glass of unsweet tea for abit of caffeine. Lunch was chicken noodle soup and applesauce. I had two tbsps of local honey (hoping it helps my allergies), one of those was in a cup of lemon echinacea hot tea. For an afternoon snack, I had some yogurt (and 4 starburst), and then some peanut butter crackers. Before working out tonite I had some popcorn chicken. And then late this evening I had a bowl of noodles with some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and garlic salt to end my day at 2099 calories.
For exercise, my friend and I hit the gym for the first time and did 18 minutes on the treadmill, and then about 40 minutes of weight training. We ran through most of the machines, so worked all our muscles. My arms and legs feel like rubber...but it's a good feeling. I'll be ramping up the treadmill work too. Getting it going!

Oops here we go again
So apparently life gets in the way FAST. It's been two months since I updated. Uggh, sorry, folks. It's been an interesting 2 months, but nothing too bad. We've dealt with some D issues., I've been sick the last two weeks as well, and have turned solely to comfort food, which has NOT been good. So, I gotta turn this around.
Tonite, my friend and I joined a gym. It's nothing fancy, a small place, with a ton of cardio and weight equipment. No pool, no smoothie bar. Oh and they have childcare. LOVE that. SO we are starting tomorrow. I'm making a sticker chart for myself. If I go 3 days in a week, I get one sticker. For every extra day I go, I get an extra sticker. Not sure what the reward will be, but it's going to be a smallish one every 10 stickers, and a big one like a night out, at 50 stickers. I dunno, that one is fluid right now.
Also, as of tomorrow I'm going to start posting everything I eat on here every day. So feel free to take a look, comment, whatever. I need all the support I can get. I'll weigh in the morning too. Blah. It's bad...really bad. But...starting over is better than continuing to go backward. I'm glad my friend joined the gym with me, I'll have some accountability.
So there ya have it...this is becoming a weight loss blog again. Woot! I might even post some pics of what I eat...who knows...stay tuned.
