My record keeping has been seriously lacking this week and I missed 3 workouts. Blame it on sick children, injury, etc. but not the most fabulous week of all time. I will try harder to stay on task, although I will say that tomorrow is hubby's bday and the food and fun will be flowing, so I may wait until Monday to completely right the train. I have been eating decently with the exception of ice cream for dinner last Tuesday.
Oh, and I lost 2 pounds.
:)
Definitely not going to make the 30# goal, but happy with the results thus far!

My legs were really hurting and I had not slept well at all due to being up with a sick little papi for a good portion of the night. Also, I am really feeling that it is absolutely true that you need a day off each week from exercise. Therefore, I did not work out today.
Reason #16 & 17: I hate that my stomach is in the way when I try to bend down for things. Also, even though I don't necessarily enjoy exercise per se, I love the endorphin release that it creates.

Recap of 1/14/10
Food Journal:
2c coffee
2c water
3c tea
banana
clementine
pretzels
Chipotle Burrito (3/4)
1 dark chocolate Dove Promise
1/2 bag mini popcorn
cal 1062 fat 24.5 carb 168 protein 47
Not a very good eating day. Ate too little up until dinner (which I ate at 4:30 BTW) then loaded too many calories at once. Protein was too low.
Burned 485 cal in workout. That is more in the range that I would like to see 4 or 5 days a week.
Weighed in Friday morning - lost 1.5 lbs. Not bad for a week that was a little off all the way around.
Reason #15: Being more fit increases your balance. I'd like to ice skate with my kids someday, but the last time I got on skates when SJ was little I felt like I had no balance. I would think the loss in weight would help some too...?

Recap of 1/13/10
Food:

egg whites, spinach, mushrooms, cheese
cottage cheese
clementine
greek turkey burger
spinach & carrot salad
Banana
2 dark chocolate Dove Promises
cal 1129 fat 38 carb 108 protein 90
419 calories burned in workout...after taking it a little easy on my legs for a couple of days, I discovered something a little odd. I experience more pain walking quickly than I do jogging slowly. But I burn a lot more calories. Bonus for me!
Reason #14: I love that my children are already viewing exercise, fitness and healthy habits as a natural and often fun part of life. You should see Sophia do push ups. Puts many adults I know to shame. :)

2 c coffee
3 c tea
2 c water
banana
cheerios w milk & raspberries
cottage cheese
cereal bar
beef barley soup
cheese quesadilla (2 triangles - wheat tortilla)
2 dark chocolate Dove Promises
cal 1134 fat 35 carb 224 protein 60

1/12/10
So this was not one of my better days. Alex was not well, so I took him to the dr in the morning, entertained him, then went back to the dr for a consult on Sophia's allergies. Never got the workout in. To make matters worse, AJ walks up to me in his Elmo chef's hat and Spiderman apron and asks if he looks like a real chef. When I said yes, he asked if we could bake something together. Try saying no to that. I dare you. Of course, he couldn't pick something lame to bake that I could stay away from. Read on.
2 c coffee
3 c tea
no water :(
egg beaters with the usual stuff in them
clementine
cheese stick
chix soup
stroganoff
2 yummy delicious homemade from scratch coconut cupcakes :)
cal 1205 fat 29 carb 100 protein 132 (doesn't include cupcakes)
Tomorrow is another day.
Reasons #12 & 13: Although I'm not the biggest fan of exercising per se, I do really like the way I feel when I'm exercising regularly. I'd like there to be less jiggling going on when I run on the treadmill.

Day 10 results
So weekends are a little harder. At least this weekend. We didn't have a lot going on and it was really cold and crappy out, so we pretty much hung out in the house all weekend. Usually that would call for me cooking some not so low cal, low fat breakfasts and desserts. Plus lots of snacking with the kids. Did I mention that on our "it's too fucking cold to get out of bed" day off of school on Thursday I made tortilla chips with melted cheese for the kids and didn't eat a single one? Didn't even lick my fingers when they needed me to help them pull them off the foil because there was "too much" cheese making them stick....Yay me.
Food Journal for Sunday, Jan 10:
2 c coffee
2 c tea
2 c water
multi-grain cheerios w skim milk and raspberries
clementine
D-light Breakfast Sandwich (for lunch)
popcorn
cheese stick
beef stroganoff
1 dark chocolate Dove Promise
cal 1094 fat 25 carb 151 protein 68
Burned 298 calories in the workout.
Reason #11: I have decided not to grow old gracefully. I used to always think that meant bad plastic surgery and wearing clothes that you are too old to be wearing. Now I realize (which may itself be a sign of aging) that it can mean taking better care of myself so that I can remain active, fit & beautiful. Not to mention staying off all those freaking medications....

Playing Catch Up
I missed yesterday's entry, so here is the recap of Friday...
Decided to have "part of" my free meal on Friday, so I didn't add up all the numbers, but here is what I ate.
2 c coffee
1 c tea
3 c water
yogurt
turkey burger & split an order of cardiac fries w Todd
banana
3 slices pizza (pepperoni & banana peppers)
large Dr Pepper from Sonic - yum!!!
*I opted to save my dessert for the week until Saturday night.
Burned 385 calories on my workout.
Saturday's food journal:
2 c coffee
1 c tea
5 c water
clementine
egg beaters w spinach, gr peppers, onion, ham & cheese
cottage cheese
waffle w pb
chix soup
banana
ice cream
calories 1137 fat 33 carb 110 protein 101 (#'s do not include ice cream!)
Calories burned during workout 298.
I am having some trouble with my lower shins and ankles, so I am having to be a little creative with my workouts to allow them to heal a bit. This will be a good challenge for me to keep working through it and not give up, but to find things to do to still burn calories and get my work in.
Reason's #9 & 10: I would like to have nicely toned arms and shoulders. I would like to be able to run to school with Sophia and not be so out of breath!
