Hottie with a Naughty Body

I think it more important to have a specific set "plan" versus a goal... if your plan makes sense and you follow it then it will equal success. Although my goal is 170... I'm not positive because to me it is more about what my body feels like and how its functioning then the number on the scale. I want to be fit. I want to look in the mirror and say to myself I have a rockin' body! I don't own a scale and don't plan to, weighing myself periodically at the gym is fine for me. Therefore my grain of salt wisdom is numbers don't mean everything, its how confident you are with your own rockin' body that counts!

So after some further thought I take back my time/weight goals... my goal is simply to stay dedicated to my plan as long as I feel is needed!





on to other things here's my food journal for Sunday Nov 12:
9am: 1/2 c. All Bran Flakes, 1/3c. plain low sugar low fat yogurt, 12 strawberries, Tea
3:30pm: 1/4c. sweet potatoes, 1 low-fat turkey burger with pesto and mushrooms
7:00pm: 1 sm. piece lasagna, 1/2 plate salad, 1 piece w.w. bread
9:30-12:00pm: 2 handfuls of chips (approx 25) (about 300 calories), approx 15 pistachios, 3 glasses of pop, 3 shots of rum, carrots and cucumber and dip

Protein: 2
Startches: 4
Fruit: 1
Veg: 3
fat: 2
dairy: 1

water: 7 glasses

Review: this wasn't a great start due to the fact work was CRAZY busy and I didn't have a chance to take a break for lunch (I'm a waitress) also I got home to find out we were having a board games party it was way too tempting to sit with tons of food ont he table and not nibble! BUT I did eat limited amounts compared to if I wasn't watching myself...

This sounds like a good approach. And you did pretty well managing the
party food, though it would be great if you could drop the pop from
your diet; it's a classic empty calorie food (assuming it's the kind
with real sugar :-) ).

What about a plan for exercise? Have you thought about that yet? It's
a pretty important part of the whole deal.

actually its kinda funny! I NEVER drink pop... like maybe 1 glass every 3-4 weeks I just don't like it very much... Sunday night was an odd night indeed!

As for excersise check out my second or 3rd post in this section I outline my strength training and cardio...


*Review of Monday*

10am 1/3c cottage cheese, 12 strawberries, 2 thin pieces ww bread, 1 fruit/veg juice
2pm 1 piece veg lasgna
5pm 1 apple
8pm 1 bowl pumpkin curry soup
9:30pm cottage cheese and strawberries, Tea

water: 5 glasses

P: 2, St: 2, Veg: 2, Fruit: 4, F:1, Dairy: 0

Today was ok for eatting. Usually I would be crazy hungery after eating so little in a day but I was just so busy it didn't matter. Since yesturday was a stat. holiday (Rememberance Day Canada) the restuarant was slammed (busiest day I've ever worked) I ended up working 10.5 instead of my scheduled 8! Anyway so I finished there and headed for the gym only to see a sign posted saying it closed early for the holiday. I felt quite disapppointed since I feel REALLY motivated at the moment! I think this website is doing the job I had hoped it would... making me accountable for my actions to someone other then myself. Having to review what I need and show it to others is really making want to achieve my 'steps to success'

anyway goodluck today you all!

Well, the way I read news I can't easily find your earlier post, but
I'll take your word for it :-). Sorry I forgot what you'd said. I'm
glad you're exercising -- it's really a help!

So I weighed myself when i got to the gym today since I was somewhat guessing at my current weight I wanted to know my starting point, so it turns out I weight more then I thought 197 to be exact. Its ****ty but it'll be gone soon so it just means that it'll take me a bit longer to get ot my goal 30 pounds instead of 20...
..................................
I ate pretty good in terms of calories and nutritional value but not great in terms of LA's guide, too many startches not enough protein or dairy, I was really hungry when I woke up this morning probably since I didn't have much protein:

11am: 1/3 c cottage cheese, 2 pieces ww toast, tea

1pm: 8 dried apricots (100 calories) and 12 almonds

3:45pm: 10-12 cucumber slices with salt and pepper

5:30pm: 1 bannana, 1 sm. oatmeal cookie low sugar

7:00pm: cabage salad (33 calories, 2.2g P, .3 g Fat, 6.2 g C), Cumin Yogurt salad 1oz (18 cal. 1.7 g P, 0.1g Fat, 2.5 Carb), Curried Potato Cabbage Roll-Ups (10 oz serving, 277 calories, 8.1g P, 3.5 fat, 54.9 Carb), 1/3c ww rice

9:30pm: 1 piece cherry pie (damn Warren bringing home my fav kind of pie!)

Protein: 1
Startches: 4
Veg: 3
Fruit: 3
Fat: 1
Dairy: 0


Gym: 50 minutes weight training+ cardio... I was sweating like mad! I do 1 set then skip for 60 seconds fast then repeat! It keeps my heart rate up the whole time and in between all my lunges its a killer just to recap Tues+ Fri I do: split squats, side lunges, walking lunge with twist (I carry a medicine ball for all leg work out in front of me arms straight) then deadlifts, EZ bar rows, lat pull down, military press, straight arm kick backs, then some light abs

Even with the pie, I eyeball it at like 1100 calories. Isn't that sort
of low? And no real food except the cabbage rolls.

No wonder you went for the pie.

I guess that is true Del! I hadn't really looked at it that way! Thanks
