Day 44: Food and Workout
Breakfast: Oatmeal with brown sugar, green tea.
Lunch: Carrots, Scooby Snacks, grapes, and Honey Nut Cheerios
Dinner: 2 eggs scrambled with cheese and milk.
Indulgences: 2 marshmallows, and probably a bowl of miniwheats with a touch of fruit or popcorn…I’m about 500 calories under today. Eek!
Workout: HIIT on the treadmill, and 7 exercise machines.
You know what’s crazy? If I’d given up on Monday, when I had a bad day, I wouldn’t have had today, which was a good day. If I’d given up the first week, 8 weeks ago, when I was tired and sleeping on the couch, I wouldn’t be here.
I’m so glad to be here.
Day 42: Food and Workout
Breakfast: Oatmeal with 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon, green tea.
Lunch: Carrots, grapes, Honey Nut Cheerios, a fruit snack, and pretzels.
Dinner: I made a kind of taco salad…lots of lettuce, some crushed-up tortilla chips, cheese, beef, a little bit of beans, and salsa. Yum.
Indulgences: A bowl of Mini-Wheats Touch of Fruit!
Workout: Ugh. Bad day. I’m still pretty sick, and I’ve started to HATE the treadmill. I did a little HIIT: 1 minute at 6.0 mph, then 45 seconds at 8 mph, repeated 5 times. Then I ran the last 10 minutes at 6 mph until the last 5 minutes, kicking up my mph by 0.5 every 2 minutes. But then I went to do weights and I did only 3 machines, and I couldn’t even do my 12 reps in each set…ugh. Tomorrow. Better. It will be.
Also, I was reading my journal…I haven’t changed in height since middle school, but junior year of high school I was between 118-122 (as I wrote) but I felt so insecure about my body weight and I felt fat. Now? At 124 I feel a whole hell of a lot less fat. I feel pretty freaking awesome.
