Working out in the morning made me hungry ALL day!! I ended up snacking way more than i usually do. Add 3 boiled eggs, celery and almond butter (i was trying some new organic foods), a whole grapefruit, and a yummy clif bar. Even after eating all that food, stomach was still growling on way home from work. As I cooked fish, I did some squats with a 5lb weight, drank soy milk, and snacked on some celery with almond butter. An hour later (8pm) I ate catfish with spinach and broccoli. Yum!

I was really afraid to get on the scale, but with food in stomach, I'm down to 114!!! YAY! Also, I got book -- "The New Rules of Lifting for Women"!!!! I'm reading it right now.

I can't wait to wake up tomorrow for the gym. I really want to get more toned. I've got some pounds on thighs and tummy that need to go!!!

This weekend I'm picking up more veggies and some lifting gloves. Four more pounds of fat left to get rid of!!!

This has been first cheat meal in awhile...I just came back from drinking a sugary alcoholic pineapple drink, a glass of wine, two scoops of vanilla ice cream w/ strawberries and rasberries, and a caesar salad with a salty blackened salmon on top. Not totally bad, but it adds up! I'm going spinning tomorrow... next week is vegetable week!!

Meal: boiled egg, soymilk (in a rush!!)

Went to the gym 40 mins before spinning class to sign up, but it was already full!!!

So I went on the eliptical machine for 30 minutes then hit the weights during powerflex class:

3 x 15 w/ 30lbs on bar
squats, split lunges, reverse grip lat pulls, reverse lunges, forward lunges, overhead presses, lat row

3X15 w/ 20lbs on bar
clean and press, bent rows, lat shoulder raises, bicep curls

Used two 5lb weights
chest presses, tricep extensions, chest flyes

push-ups, crunches, obliques, lower crunches, upper crunches

stretch

Snack: protein shake w/ soy milk, boiled egg

Meal: tilapia, spinach

Snack: oatmeal w/ flax seed

Dinner: Tilapia w/broccoli

Maybe a light run later...or jump rope to burn the ice cream I ate yesterday!!!

Fyi: arms are looking nice; more muscular and not as flabby!! However, thighs and tummy need major work. I know this will go away with hardwork, discipline and time...

You should boost the Protein in your snacks, it's a bit low.

AnnaCruzDC · Post by **AnnaCruzDC** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 4:54 pm

yea, i eat snack on boiled eggs a lot.

I'd go for other choices, as Eggs might have some protein, but not a lot, and you'll just ramp the Fat up in your meal with too many, whereas you could have a little Fat then use leaner sources of Protein.

yea i feel like eggs and oatmeal arent helping me much with losing weight!! I'll try soybeans and quinoa..I havnt' gotten around to buying them yet, but I'll do it soon.

If you have no issues with such things try Low Fat Cheese, or Peanuts, or powdered Flax as well.

Yea, I fell off the exercise horse...blah. A couple of big events have happened...1) I got engaged (yea I'm not really married yet, but practically married

) 2) I backed fiance's car into a wall (long story). So I've been busy, but no excuses! With all the celebrating and stressing, I've gained a couple pounds, but I lose weight easily when I work hard and eat right. Anywho, today I switched up routine and did circuit training, arms and abs, followed by HIIT.

Tomorrow I'll be working on legs, butt, abs, HIIT.

Tomorrow's eating plan is

Breakfast: Oatmeal, eggs, celery w/ peanutbutter
Snack: protein bar (for sweet tooth)
Lunch:Salmon, asaparagus, spinach
Snack: celery w/ peanutbutter
Dinner: Salmon, asparagus, spinach

WORKOUT.

STUDY

SLEEP

REPEAT
