October 21, 2008

MAN am I facing REALLY BAD CRAVINGS today... its REALLY close to that TOM and not only am I overly emotional and analytical right now, I am having a hard time resisting all the bad stuff I COULD be eating... but I made it through today. On to tomorrow.

Review of Yesterday: well I had to go back and finish yesterday lol... We ate dinner yesterday at like 4pm and I ate seemingly a lot, but good stuff. workout was intense, toned it down a bit in the impact department today.

Today's Workouts:
3.2 mile neighborhood walk with mom + 1 lb weights, Turbo Jam Lower Body, Turbo Jam Booty Sculpt (with 8 lb & 5 lb weights, YEAH!). Ouch, it burned. I felt my hips kind of hurting while walking, so I decided to do strength training today instead of any high intensity cardio. We'll get back with more of that tomorrow. It was nice to feel that burn today. Turbo Jam Lower Body Jam was harder than Billy's Bootcamp lower body, YES IT WAS!!!

ADD: 3 mile Power Walk w/ Dad -- yep, a new record!

Breakfast:
1 banana before walk, 1 apple after walk, MAN my metabolism must be in high gear (they say it gets higher around that TOM) bc I normally can work out a long time and be fine with just a banana, but I got so hungry walking today I needed a boost in between... and now I'm starving again!

so, real breakfast: one 100 calorie lavash flatbread, 3 oz chopped grilled chicken breast, 3/4 cup mixture of black beans and brown rice, tomato salsa, low fat sour cream (1.5 tbs or so)... rolled up into one yummy burrito :-)

Lunch:
a reasonable portion of leftover sun-dried tomato pesto penne (lower carb penne), EXTRA diced tomatoes, mixed in some ground flax seed, oregano, and black beans. one mixed green salad with light Italian dressing.

Dinner:
1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 cup brown rice, ca. 3 oz. grilled chicken, 3/4 cup raw broccoli florets with ca. 1 tbsp. spicy Ranch dressing

Dessert/snacks:
1 Skinny Cow vanilla ice cream sandwich between lunch and dinner, 1 cup hot chocolate with dinner, 1 sugar free popsicle while watching Biggest Loser
(snack total: ca 240 calories)
