Today's All-Inclusive Sum Up:
Feeling really focused and on-track today. I went to put my jeans on and noticed there's a little wiggle room in the belly area and I filled out another part of the pants. Meaning, I'm slowly losing weight and my muscles are getting stronger. This is definitely a good sign!
What I'm continually learning is no matter how fit you are, you absolutely have to be concious about what you put in your body to get any results. I was most proud of myself for this past week because I managed to work out every day and really challenge myself. Additionally, not being a morning person at all, I got to the gym twice at 7am. I'm most proud of the physical activity. I need to work on my consumption habits.
The whole point of my body tutor is to not only get you to establish goals but to have an action plan. I feel I've establised the workouts really well as my gym is across the street from my job. If I don't have time to run before work, I'll go at lunch, spend a little time in the sauna, have a quick shower and head back to work. Sometimes in the middle of the day, it makes all of the difference in order to keep the stress down.
Meal 1: 8:30am
Large tea with skim and no calorie sweetener. Egg whites, 2 soy protein links and an apple.
I pretty much became the queen of protein and fiber in this breakfast. I always felt egg whites alone are really slimy and gross and, to be honest, really miss real eggs. However, adding broccoli and tomatoes, making it more of a casserole with the egg whites makes for very pleasant breakfast.
Meal 2: 12:30pm
Diet coke. Multi-grain whole wheat bagel with turkey, muenster cheese, lettuce, tomato and mustard.
I wish I had scooped the bagel as it felt like a lot of bread as I was eating it. I'm thinking next time of doing an open-faced bagel to cut down on the carbs. I won't miss them. I felt ploppy full after eating the whole bagel. The turkey was yummy.
Meal 3: 6:00pm
100 calorie brownie.
My bunny made me. He was having a sugary snack and told me I need one.
Meal 4: 8:00pm
Glass of half orange juice, half water. Bowl of vegetarian baked beans. Salad with cilantro and broccoli.
Juice generally has a lot of sugar but it's been pointed out by my trainer that I've drastically reduced my intake so the combo of juice/water above is approved. :) This doesn't look like a huge meal, but it was very filing and full of fiber and iron.
Meal 5: 9:00pm
Non-fat greek yogurt with 1 Tbsp of honey.
This was dessert. It's been pointed out, it was a little late to have this sugary of a snack as the sugar goes directly to fat, however it's not too bad.
Today's Workout Summary:
I mainly just walked around prospect heights for about 45 minutes today. It was such a gorgeous weekend in New York. I don't like to run above 75 degrees. Would rather use the indoor gym which is saved for the weekdays.
Planning to do a weigh-in tomorrow to see how much I've lost? Hopefully?
