7/5/13

Lots to do today, but might decide I have to use some PTO depending on if I can get everything else done PLUS get work emails sent out this afternoon (and I can do some tomorrow too).

I was up pretty late so I slept til 10 today.

10:30a
100 - apple
160 - oats
50 - scoop of greek yogurt

TRYING to focus on water today... need to be drinking WAY more of it. Gotta get serious about carrying water bottles with me EVERYWHERE I go.

Quick 3 mile bike ride/ errand.

5:00pm
140 - 2 Boca burger patties
120 - 4 small/medium zucchini baked
10 - cooking spray olive oil

bike to/from the gym
Pretty awesome glutes and leg workout today... was at the gym for an hour and a half. Needed that.

10:30p
220 - chicken tenderloin
100 - broccoli
150 - spaghetti sauce

12:00a
360 - pineapple (whole can)

1420 total for the day... still gotta push myself for more water. Mission this weekend is to find a water bottle that I'll actually USE!

4th of July - holiday bust

Yesterday started out strong and then resulted in a bust of a day.
I was keeping track of my calories and even after my 8 mile bike ride to a picnic I was only around 900-100 intake so far for the day and feeling good.

But then I let myself have a drink.
I looked it up to make sure alcohol wouldn't make antibiotics stop working and it doesn't-- alcohol can just cause serious reactions (like sickness and fatigue) when you're on antibiotics. So I had 2 glasses of wine... and then I was around snack foods. My bane. Chips and guacamole. I destroyed that stuff. Burgers without buns, I had 2... yogurt pretzels, potato chips... I didn't seriously binge as there were always people around, but I easily had 3000 calories yesterday.

Busy Friday ahead of me, but gotta get back on track and work my butt off this weekend.

BIG GOALS THIS MONTH and I'm not going to let my poor decisions on the holiday take away from my success!

7/3/13

I didn't sleep last night...got an anxiety-inducing call at 1and that left me awake...le sigh.

5:00a
80 - 1 medium egg + 2 whites
160 - half avocado
20 - half fresh tomato

Planking...thinking about going for a run, but starting to feel tired.
Crashed hard for a few hours.
woke up to a work call and kept grinding...made a 2nd breakfast.

10:15a
160 - 1/2 cup instant oats (measured dry)
50 - 1/3 container of zero fat Greek yogurt
...holy full...

Back to the grind! Infection seems a little bit better? Not entirely sure if that's just the antisymptom med or the antibiotic working yet :-/

2:00p

n/a - one leaf of cabbage

3.14 mile run/walk. Actually ran the first mile without walking and was proud of myself for that. It's really hard for me to actually RUN distance when I'm alone. I need to be able to run 2 miles non-stop by the end of the month (3 would be ideal so I can do my triathlon next month). -400 calories

Transformation/Transition Photos

Ok, so here's a spread... me at my heaviest (215 in 2007), then just about my leanest (from just diet, not working out ~ September 2009)... and where I am now (175+). Sorry I really don't have any photos of where I started in March of this year (196.6)--all the pictures I was taking were "smart angles" :-/
My goal now is to get leaner and show more muscle definition all over (and to balance out my build). I've kept this bathing suit with the sole purpose of taking progress photos.

Here's a face comparison from March to today (sorry, I just snapped a quick one lol)

7/2/13

Went back to the doctor this morning...still in pain. Tests showed the first antibiotic was failing and the infection is still in full force. They prescribed a new antibiotic, an anti-spasmatic (so I don't feel like I have to go every 2 seconds) and sent my sample out for a full culture to make sure it's not some crazy new strand of anything that would need special attention. [p.s. Walgreen's Pharmacy is THE WORST!]
*************HEALING VIBES PLEASE******************


So I didn't eat before I went to the doctor... but I came home and chowed a bit before getting to work.
10:45a
100 - apple
100 - turkey sausage link (gluten free!)
120 - pudding :) [p.s. I am shocked I didn't eat this all last night...shocked]

I upped on my meds today to try to knock out a significant amount of work... gotta set reminders for myself to eat otherwise it'll be 6pm and I'll realize I'm on empty ;)

1:15p
80 - ham (lunch meat)

3:00p
325 - guacamole
50 - carrots

5:30p
60 - pudding (ok, it's gone now hahaha)
100 - apple

bike ride to volleyball (5.2 miles)
3 games of vball
bike ride home (5.2 miles STRAIGHT into the wind... FML with a single speed, this kills)

...more planking! Doing a challenge on Instagram ~ go check it out and get in on the progress train!

9:45pm
75 - kale
30 - cabbage
25 - spinach
160 - half avocado
75 - peppers (sadly, they came in oil)
360 - can of low sodium black beans, rinsed

This puts me at 1775 calories for the day... pretty good seeing as I've been struggling lately to get enough in. I'm ok with having some low days since I know with the upcoming holiday weekend I'm going to have some high days... and I think my body likes cycling... though I haven't lost any weight recently. I need to DRINK MORE WATER and watch my sodium.

Might eat a grapefruit before bed too.
100 - grapefruit

total 1875
