Snack: None (forgot)
Lunch: Lean ham on wheat with honey mustard, baked doritos, mandarin orange fruit cup, carrots (I had a very orange lunch)
Snack: Slimfast
Dinner: Salmon, grilled veggies, seasoned rice, wheat bread and 1 glass of sweet tea
Workout: 5 min warmup on stair machine, 1 hour rock bottom class. Apparently our trainer was mad at someone and took it out on us. WOW what a workout!
So after my workout class, I get a call from my mother and she wants to go out for dinner. I suggest my favorite place Long Horn - where I know I can get the salmon and veggies. When my plate comes, I immediately cut my salmon and rice in half and put it in a to go box. I will have that for lunch tomorrow. My mother was very impressed with my willpower!! And, I only had one glass of tea.

Tuesday 9/29/09 Meals
Breakfast: Oatmeal, fruit yogurt small coffee
Snack: None
Lunch: Progresso High Fiber Minestrone soup with "Hint of Salt" Ritz crackers, prunes and water
Snack: Trailmix (FiberOne cereal, almonds, raisins, craisins, dried pineapple
Dinner: Bronzed tilapia, canned corn, sauteed green beans an water
I had a late breakfast due to some blood tests I had scheduled first thing this morning.
I did 10 minutes on the elliptical, 4 sets of 10 reps on the pulldown lat machine, 2 sets of 10 reps on the bicep machine and a 1 hour abs class.
I made the mistake of not eating until after my class, which was about 9pm. I'll have to figure out how to eat before my late classes.
I've been having problems with my stomach and think it is due to the multi-vitamins. I'm going to skip those until I figure out what's wrong.

WOW - It's lonely here!
I'm feeling pretty lonely out here. No one comments anymore, I hope somebody's listening! Anyhoo, here goes:
This weekend was pretty good. My grandson spent the weekend with me which means we're having McDonalds at least once! On Friday, we did some running around and instead of picking up fast food, I explained to him that I'm eating healthier and we will fix something at home. Of course, he was disappointed, but I made italian seasoned grilled chicken, veggies and brown rice. He really liked it and actually had two helpings of rice!
We got up the next day and headed to the YMCA. He got dropped off in the daycare while I jumped on the eliptical for 15 minutes or so. I then did 4 sets of 10 reps on the lat pulldown and 2 sets of 10 on the bicept machine. I then thought it would be a good idea to set in on a new abs class called "Killer Core". I should have been worried when the first part of the title had Killer in it. The class was very hard, but I made it through. I paid for it on Sunday and Monday.

What a Discouraging Week!
This week started off bad and got worse! I wasn't feeling well on Monday so I didn't go to work. I called and made an appointment to weigh in and found out I had only lost 2 pounds. 2 pounds! How could that be? I've been eating better and getting more exercise than I have in years! I've given up soda and drink mostly water. I've cut waaaay back on the fast foods and eat a lot of veggies and whole grain. Ughhhhhh!
Ok tantrum over. If I'm going to make my goal of 10 pounds I have to look at what could be holding me back:
1. I'm eating well, but maybe too much of a good thing. I'm going to pay more attention to my portions. Today instead of eating a whole sandwich, I only ate half (and I still felt full).
2. I'm exercising 4-5 days a week, but I'm doing classes and not bootcamp. While the classes are not easy, maybe I'm not getting enough of the aerobic exercise I need. So, I plan to do the DVD that Lyle gave us 3 days a week in the mornings before work in addition to my classes at the Y in the evenings.
3. I'm still not eating breakfast before work. That's causing me to cram my meals into a smaller window of time. I'm going to try to have breakfast at 6, snack at 9, lunch at 12, 2nd snack at 3, dinner at 6 and last snack around 8 (if needed)since I ususally go to bed around 10. This should spread out my meals more evenly. Right now I eat breakfast around 8, snack around 10 and lunch at 12. That's too close.
4. I'm on target with my multi-vitamins and vinegar - so no problems there.
I just need to re-group and re-start. It's not too late! My goal is still within reach and my faith is renewed!
