Sunday, Monday, Happy Days!!!!

3 DAYS IN REVIEW:

Saturday-Monday:

SATURDAY:
Nothing special about today other than the fact that it was weigh in day! I was pretty pumped all day and felt pretty strong. It was a little bit challenging at a party I went to that night. There was lots of yummy foods and I had to remain strong. I just kept in mind my goal of being 345 by the next Saturday so I was really good.
We got up early to exercise and it was so nice to get it done with already earlier than normal and have so many calories already burned. It really gave me a boost.
Exercise: 60 minutes elliptical-1015 calories

SUNDAY:
Today we went out to eat for lunch. We had a salad, but I have noticed we have more calories when we eat out, even when you choose items so you have to be careful to not do it too much.
We actually saw two movies today, and I’m really proud of us that we were really good. Its not easy. The smell of the buttered popcorn hits you right when you walk in. Through the movie you hear people eating in, and those lovely Coke commercials and everything. Luckily I can have my Diet Coke this week so I was sated in that respect! It really felt like a treat having one.
The hardest was at the second theatre-Jordan Commons. For some reason we were both just craving like crazy! And they have the most wonderful foods. I think I was just super craving more than normal but I’m very proud I didn’t give in. And it was hard, because the ice cream and the fudge looked so yummy.
Workout today was really hard. I was so tired afterwards and sore.
Exercise: 30 minutes elliptical- 381 calories; 30 minutes Precor machine-515 calories

MONDAY:
Today wasn’t bad at all. I’m just sticking to everything as I need to be. They even had pizza brought in for everyone. I wasn’t even tempted. I even got some for a coworker and I will admit the smell was wonderful. But I was hungry. I just add my chicken salad and it filled me up and I was satisfied! The candy at the front desk and chocolate at my boss’s desk didn’t even tempt me much.
I did a stupid thing tonight. After the gym Adam weighed in. He is trying to get to 190 by tomorrow so he weighed in and I thought I would weigh in too. I was 354. Adam immediately encouraged me and pointed out that I might have been weighing myself wrong. He noticed at the 350 that I had pushed it too far and it’s the maximum amount below (its one of those old doctor’s scale) so I may not have weighed what I thought I did last week. He also pointed out that I will weigh less in the morning anyway. Well we will see what I weigh tomorrow. I really should think about just having Diet Coke on the weekends because that is a reason I could have gone up too…..we shall see tomorrow.
Exercise: 60 minutes Precor machine-832 calories; shoulders-203 calories
