Day 10 Weight Training

For today I decided to skip bread all together! I'm a big bread eater, even though I always eat as little as possible and only whole wheat.

I woke up really late today so my breakfast was really my lunch. So for lunch I kept it simple, I had 1 egg, salad, 1/2 tbsp of light ranch dressing, 1 slice of avocado, 1/2 cup of brown rice and 2 turkey sausages.

Calories: 292

I'm now getting ready to do my upper body workout followed by some zumba! Will update later.

Day 9 Weight Training

I wasn't to sore today even though I increased my weights from the original workout. So I guess I'm getting a little stronger. Which is a good thing. Got plenty of sleep which is also great, since I have trouble sleeping. Zzzzquil is really helping me.


My eats were pretty good til late night when I gave in to my baked lays craving, I had 2 servings then I felt guilty as hell.

Total Calories for the day:

Calories: 1664
Protein: 123gr
Carbs: 198gr

I'm still trying to figure out my eats. As suggested by the 5-4-3-2-1 HT diet  for me to reach my goal of 136lbs I'm supposed to eat

Calories: 1632
Protein: 136gr

So as you can see I still need some tweaking!!! I also did 26 min of zumba for cardio which I find I'm now able to keep up without feeling like I'm dying!

Day 7 Weight Training Update

Did my intervals today for 20 min on treadmill plus an additional 15 min of stretching and slow walking. I'm having a hard time breaking my habit of baked lays. Those are my weakness! A nice lady over at the rallyroom from buffmother.com website had a great suggestion and that was to put the servings in ziplock bags, that way it would help me control how many portions I eat. It really worked I had 2 servings last night vs half of the bag which is what I did last week when I had a weak moment. However eating those 2 servings last night still spiked up my carb intake by 44gr. Had I not eaten them. I would have been right around my goal of 136gr per day. But I need to move on, what's done is done!

On a good note I weight myself today and I'm back down to 172.5 lbs which made me really happy!!! Lets see how it goes.

Total calories for the day:

Calories: 1859
Protein: 128gr
Carbs: 167gr

Day 7 Weight Training

I woke up at 10:30am today, ate breakfast at 1pm. I just wasn't hungry til then! I had an egg omelet 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites, slice of provolone reduce fat cheese. Spinach and tomatoes chopped up. One ole soft taco tortilla put the omelet in it, covered it with the spinach or tomatoes. Oh and 2 slices of turkey bacon plus a bit of light mayo.

Totals:
Calories: 397
Protein: 31gr
Carbs: 26gr
Fat: 17gr
Fiber: 2gr

I'm going to do my intervals workout in a few mins, it's about 2:30pm now. Will make an updated post later for the day!

Day 6 Weight Training Update

I decided today was gonna be my rest day instead of tomorrow. I will do my intervals tomorrow and then begin my split workout weight training routing on Monday starting with upper body and heavier weights, maybe 8-10 lbs.

For lunch today:
Calories: 219
Protein: 14gr
Carbs: 22gr
Fat: 9gr

Snack
Calories: 173
Protein: 5gr
Carbs: 26gr
Fat: 7gr

Dinner

Total So Far for the day
Calories: 1154
Protein: 63gr
Carbs: 136gr less 25gr fiber makes this 111gr
Fat: 39gr


I still need to improve by increasing my protein by 73gr and decreasing my carbs by 11gr. I'm still struggling with this. I'm gonna see if I can make a trip to GNC to purchase a protein shake higher in protein than the one I'm using. I have to admit this, I did not drink a shake today! Had I done so, I would have at the very least had 40gr more of protein for the day. I guess I struggle with this because I'm not a big meat eater, I tend to favor carbs more!

Day 6 Weight Training

I woke up today feeling great! A little sore but nothing like after the first day of working out! Amazing how quickly your body reacts to whatever you through at it!

My plans for today is to take it easy, maybe do my intervals and maybe do some groceries. Tomorrow will be my rest day. I woke up at 6:38am but I didn't roll out of bed til about 7am, had breakfast at 7:30am.
