I don't know how often I can fill this out since I'm quite busy, but I'll try to fill it out everyday.
Am I allowed to say that I'm SUPER EXCITED about this competition. I think its because for the last 2 weeks, I've been going to the gym consistently and trying to eat well. And in that short time, I'm noticing some small changes in myself:
1.) I noticed my work pants are looser *woot woot* 2.) I find that I have more energy 3.) I'm starting to feel good about myself again (due to the fact that I havn't worked out during the winter, I was starting to feel like a lazy slob) 4.) My mentality about food has TOTALLY changed 5.) I'm getting my endurance back and its so exciting to me
I'm so excited by my results (as small as they are right now) that I really REALLY don't want to cheat. At baskin robins the other day, I really wanted a scoop of something. But I figured, 1 scoop = 200 cals... and 200 cals = a 25 min intensive run on the treadmil. Now is that really worth it?
So here's day one of my eating habits. I think I still need to cut the carbs but its a nice start:
Snack: 1/2 cup All Bran Strawberry Bites, Green Tea
Lunch: Lean Cusine bowl, Apple, 0 cal Ice Tea
Snack: Fat Free Yogurt, Cheese String
Pre-workout snack: 1/2 a banana
Dinner: Blue menu mac n cheese, chicken breast
Bedtime snack: protein shake with soymilk
Workout: * 45 min Cardio (TurboJam Cardio Party) * 20 Ab routine (Turbo Abs)
After reviewing my diet, I know where I need to make some changes. I probably need more protein in the morning. I should sub the all bran for a shake. And as a side note, to crave my sweet tooth, I bought SUGAR FREE Werthers Original. Only 7 cal per candy!
Im so proud of you. You know what you need to do, and how to achieve it, and most importantly, you have the drive to get it. Great job! woot woot! and yes,use my protein shake idea lol hahah.
and stop analyzing calories of ice cream... makes me feel bad lol. haha
you guys thought i was bad and anal with training and diet... wait till this one gets her feet wet lol.
Overall a good day eating and excersie wise. I think I deserve a pat on the back.
Breakfast: 1 bowl Rasin Bran Cranberry Crunch with Organic unsweetend Soy milk *** big fan of the unsweetend soy milk. Did you know skim milk has a whopping 14g of Sugar? Compared to unsweetened soy which has 3g. It takes awhile to adjust to the taste I must admit but I LOVE it now.
Snack: 1/2 cup All Bran Strawberry Bites + green tea
Lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken with pasta entre (Ok there was a major sale, i'm going to be eating this for awhile) + diet ice tea
Snack: Protien Shake w/ 2 tsp low fat strawberry banana yogurt and 1/2 cup organic soy milk and one cheesestring (also a sale haha)
Dinner: Sub from Subway (Roasted Chicken on wheat w/ cheese, lettace, onions, and fat free honey mustard) + diet coke
Preworkout Snack: due to the lack of food in Robs fridge (which there was an abundance of EXPIRED food), I munched on some organic baby carrots...not really a meal I know..
Postworkout: Protien Shake w/ 4 tsp low fat strawberry banana yogurt and 1 cup organic soy milk (I figured I needed the carbs I was starving)
The Workout
* 35 min run on the treadmill - increase .5 every five minutes. I start at 5.0 and make it to 6.5 and stay there for 10-15 min before going back down * 5 min on the spin bikes because I was bored (haha)
All in all a pretty good day diet/food wise. No intense cravings. I still think I need to cut the carbs during the day. The mid-day protein shake helped. And I really need to get started on the TurboJam weight program which I hope to kickstart friday.
So today was suppose to be my rest day (because there are usually good tv shows on today). However, I decided to drag my butt to the gym to do some circut training with everyone. I must say, sitting at home watching Ugly Betty in my pj's after dinner made me want to just lounge. Thats when I realized how cool this competition is. I told Rob that I would go and if I didn't go, I didn't want to be called out on the wall of shame. And when I got to the gym, I actually WANTED to work out.
Breakfast: 1 bowl Rasin Bran Cranberry Crunch with Organic unsweetend Soy milk (man its always the same - i'm addicted)
Snack: 1/2 cup All Bran Strawberry Bites
Lunch: Subway (Roasted Chicken on wheat w/ cheese, lettace, onions, and fat free honey mustard) + diet ice tea
Snack: Protein Shake with soy + cheesestring
Dinner: Blue Menu mac n cheese with 1/2 can of tuna + a small bowl of campbells tomato soup because my stomach was still growling an hour later
Preworkout snack: 1/2 a banana
Postworkout: Protein shake w/ soy and 1/2 a mango blended - yum!
* note: I was quite undecided about the mango... I was going to put yogurt again to up the carbs a bit (since the protien shake only had 1g + 2g from my milk) but I rememberd my dad yelling at me about the mangos I made him buy that were turning color). * Did I overdo it with the mango? I wasn't sure if that was too much sugar? * Confession: I really wanted to eat the rest of the mango (other half + the seed) so I just smushed it and threw it in the garbage to avoid temptation
The Workout
* 30min Circut Training - Skipping + Jogging + Step + pain * props to Rob for pushing me to go all out on the step near the end... I probably would've slacked if it wasn't for you * High Five team :)
Overall a pretty good day. Avoided temptation hahaha...
Breakfast: Raisin Bran Cranberry Crunch w/ soy
Snack: 1/2 cup all bran strawberry bites + cheesestring
Lunch: Lean Cuisine (chicken + pasta) and fat free yougurt
Snack: protein shake with soy
Pre-workout: 1/2 a mango. (don't worry Jen, I didn't need to squish it this time, I gave 1/2 to my sister and the seed to my dad)
Dinner: chicken breast + blue menu man n cheese
Snack: Protein Shake
So when I came home from Basils house the house smelled like baked goods. My cousin made lava brownie muffins. They looked like two-bit brownies only supersize. I picked up the plate, took a big whiff, set the plate down, grabbed a yogurt cup and my green tea, and went to bed.
*pats self on the back*
THE WORKOUT
* 20 min TurboJam Cardio * 40min TurboSculpt weight routine (I actually found this really fun and painfull at the same time. Oh the squats *tear*)
The non-workout day. Its good to have a break. Cause my throat is killing me. Thats why I brought my own tea bags in my bag today. *stupid con rob and bas!!!*
Lunch: Tim HOrtons Ham and Cheddar cheese sandwich on whole wheat w/ lettace and honey mustard + diet coke
Dinner: Swiss Chalet - quarter Chicken dinner with rice NO BUN * it was white rice booooo and quite a large portion. But I didn't feel too bad about it because I didn't really eat a lot during the day. * Confession: Con's brownies smelled reaaaaaaaaaalllly good
Snack: protein shake w/ skim milk + some carrot sticks (my stomach was growling) and lots and lost of green tea
Overall it wasn't a bad day considering I ate out for lunch and dinner. Talked everyone out of going to Montanas or Kelseys to go to Swiss Chalet. I just figured that there were healthier options at Swiss Chalet than the others. Cause if we went to Kelseys - just too much temptation. Hey, I'm not THAT strong. I wish I was able to fit in more meals though. But its hard when you wake up late and are out with friends all day.. you kind of can't eat. Maybe I should carry a healthy snack in my bag at all times... but what??
I feel quite proud that I havn't had a cheat meal since Jen's bday where I ate Phad Thai. *gives self another pat* I'm glad when people ask me to eat bad I can say NO. And they just shake their head. But I'm really trying to make a consious effort. And I'm quite proud of it.
Sleepy sleepy Sunday = less meals a day What a big difference the weekend makes I find. You sleep till 11-12ish and you cut out approx 2 meals a day :|
Breakfast: 2 eggs + 2 egg whites and 1 piece of whole wheat toast (no butter) and 1 kraft single cheese slice (fat free)
Dinner: 1 MandM's pork skewer (soo good) + brown rice + roasted veggies (zucchinni and red pepper)
Snack: Protein Shake w/ unsweetend soy
The Workout
* 35 min on the tredmill I surprised myself today. My throat was hurting like mad and I was feeling sleepy and clogged. I went to the gym cause it was my workout day but I didn't plan on going all out. However, the guy next to me and the tredmill was running over 6.5 and I tried to match him! Overall, an excellent run for me * TurboJam Ab routine 20min I decided to throw in an extra ab routine while I was lounging around at home
Snack: 1/2 cup All Bran Strawberry Bites, Green Tea, baby carrots
Lunch: Michellina's lifestyles chicken pasta and a diet coke
Snack: protein shake with soy milk
Pre-workout snack: asian pear
Dinner: chicken breast, white rice and peppers and mushrooms
Bedtime snack: protein shake with soy milk
The Workout * cardio pump and crunch: i was 10 minutes late so i only did 15 minutes of cardio and 35 minutes of weights and abs. this class kicked my butt but it felt good to work hard and feel my muscles fatigue!
* walked around the gym like a stalker or conrad, while waiting for rob to finish his sets.
So wathcing the Pussycat Dolls and seeing all these skinny girls really REALLY makes me wanna lose the stomach flab. Had an awesome workout today. I think I'm even more motivated now to tone up then before and I really don't want to cheat AT ALL for the next while. Kind of nervous about the Easter buffet and fam parties this weekend - is it rude not to eat at fam jams??
Breakfast - 1 piece whole wheat texas toast with 1 egg + 2 eggwhites (woohoo change is good)
Snack: 1/2 cup All Bran strawberry bites
Lunch: Michalina's Lifestlye chicken pasta + diet coke + 1 apple
Snack: Protein shake with soy
Preworkout Snack: a few pieces of cantaloupe
Dinner: chicken breast + blue menu mac n cheese (no butter!)
Snack: protein shake with soy
The Workout
* 45 TurboJam Cardio Party - I put waaay more effort into this then I usually do, I felt like my lung was going to burst. Plus my legs were wiped out from the class yesterday. Oh squats I hate you! * 20 min TurboAbs
All in all a pretty good day. I noticed a big difference in adding more protein in my diet in the mornings. I wasn't even hungry for the most part. Might consider eating a extra small bowl and cereal and a shake or eating eggs more often...
Overall a pretty good diet/workout day considering I trading in working out for Stars on Ice woohoo! I'm also seriously considering giving up my Rasin Bran Cranberry Crunch cereal in the morning. Its just way to hig in sugar (18g) and carbs (37) per 3/4 cup. I think I may trade it in for Honey Nut Cheerios (also whole grain) which only has 10g of sugar and 24g of carb per 3/4 cup. I'm thinking of increasing protein in the morning (more eggs, add a shake) and sometimes having honey nut cheerios cause I just CANNOT give up cereal.
Breakfast: 1/2 protein shake w/ soy + 1 piece WW texas toast + 1 egg and 1 egg white microwaved! (its bland but ok with a little pepper)
Snack: 1/2 cup all bran strawberry bites + green tea
Lunch: Lean Cusine chicken pasta + diet coke + grapes
Snack: Protein Shake w/ soy
Dinner: Chicken Stirfry (chicken breast/red onions/yellow pepper/brocolli) + brown rice * I think my portions were a little large in this meal
Snack: protein shake w/ soy + 3 tablespoons of strawberry fat free yogurt
The Workout
* 20 min run on the tredmill (pretty intensive - stayed at 5.5 for 5 min and than ran between 6.0 and 6.5 for the remainder * 15 min run on the tredmill (I was in my two minute cooldown because the plan was to go on the eliptical for a bit and they were all empty and then BAM! Instantly full. What the heck. So I just ran for another 15 min instead.
I'm quite proud that I'm building my endurance with running back. I was running pretty fast today. I actually did a 7.0 sprint in the end. Second day in a row that I felt like my lungs were going to burst. But it feels so good to push yourself.
Dinner: 6" Subway Sub - Roasted chicken on wheat, lettace, onions, honey mustard
Snack: 1 pork skewer (mmm so good!)
The Workout
* NONE - Went to see Stars on Ice so I'm going to work out on Sat booooo
Damn you Air Canada Center! I was surrounded by temptation. Friggin people eating cotton candy, popcorn, pizza pizza, ice cream. Friggin bastards. And damn emil eating his monster sized Pralines and Cream ice cream cone and taunting me with it! First time in a few weeks that I was actually tempted like crazzzzy. But no worries I prevailed! Havn't cheated since Jen's bday. But Easter weekend is coming up with means family Buffet :S
Both days started ok. Until the cheating came into play. Both days started with bowls of cereal or a protein shake with soy.
Next meals: Please see Wall of Shame
Tne weekend was pretty much downhill after that. *sniff*
The Workout
Sat: I actually did work out before Rob's family party *pats self on the back* * TurboJam 45 Cardio Party
Sun: Nothing. Was going to do some light cardio and abs, but considering that my stomach was full of food I decided to skip the Sunday workout and workout next Sat instead
Breakfast: 1 light kraft single + 1 egg and 1 egg white + 1 WW Texas Toast and 1/2 protein shake with soy
Snack: All Bran Strawberry bites
Lunch: 2 WW dinner roll sandwiches with Turkey slices + 1 light Kraft Single + honey mustard
Snack: Protein shake with soy
Dinner: Turkey Bacon Club on whole wheat w/ honey mustard from Timmys + 1 bowl vegatable soup * Uh, the guy from Timmy's put Ham in my sandwich instead of Turkey. I was wondering why it tasted odd.
Postworkout: 1/2 an apple
Snack: protein shake w/ /soy + 3 tbsp of fat free strawberry yogurt
The Workout
* 35min run on the tredmil. I did an incline from 5.0 - 6.5 and back down * 15 on Spin Bike. Didn't push too hard till the very end. Only cause I couldn't do the standup thing b/c I didn't know how to adjust the seat and my bum kept hitting the seat + I was gossiping with Mara haha.
I'm quite pissed at the rate I'm going throug Soy milk. Its pretty expensive (4 bucks) and I bought a carton on Monday night and its Wed night and its COMPLETLY finished. I know I drink approx 2-3 shakes a day... And I know my sister steals some. But it's really starting to piss me off! And people keep eating my yougurt and cold cuts. What the hell. And no one replaces anything. It makes me quite mad that tommorow morning I will have to make my shake with skim milk (gross) or water *shudder. Plus, I have to rethink my snack at work for tommorow b/c I just can't put milk or water in my shakes. Once you go soy you can never go back. I swear!
I think you should make me a snack for everytime we go to the gym together...that is just a suggestion...ok girlfriend your doing wicked...YOU'RE NUMBER 1!!!!!! Hopefully your emotions are good!!!
Whoops! Forgot to add the workout for Thursday April 12th.
The Workout
* 20 min Eliptical Trainer - Switching between high levels or intensity and incline * 10 min run on the tredmill - ran between 5.5 and 7.5 because the gym was closing and I knew I didn't have a lot of time
Breakfast: 1/2 bowl honey nut cheerios (dry) + full protein shake with soy
Snack: All Bran Strawberry Bites
Lunch: 2 WW dinner rolls with 1 light Kraft Single + turkey cold cuts + honey mustard and 1 diet coke
Snack: Protein shake w. soy
Dinner: 6" Subway Sub (Roasted Chicken on WW + onions + lettace + honey mustard) + 1 Nestea Zero
Snack: protein shake w. soy + 3 tbsp fat free strawberry yogurt
The Workout:
* 45 min Turbo Sculpt * 20 min TurboAbs Super intensive workout. I was sweatin' like a mofo. I used 5lbs weights for the whole 40 min. Given that I'm super weak it was quite the challenge for me. I'm really liking the weight routine with TurboJam. Makes it kinda fun.
Breakfast: 1 WW Texas Toast + 1 egg + 1 egg white + 1 kraft single (light) + 1/2 protein shake w. soy
Snack: 1 Figi apple
Lunch: 1 sandwich from Charlie's Steakery (Chicken Philly) - white bread but post workout + diet pepsi
Dinner: 6" Roasted Chicken on WW from Subway + honey mustard + lettace/onions + diet coke
Snack: Turkey Bacon Club (WW) from Timmy's w. honey mustard + few spoons of chilli + a few more bites of a WW bun * err.. I think this was too much carbs at the end of the night. The sandwich should have been good enough so I shouldn't have taken a few bites of the bun from Rob's Chilli. I usually have a shake but I wasn't at home. My 1 apple doesn't really count as a meal ahaha. My stomach was growling all damn day for some reason.
The Workout * 45 min TurboJam Cardio Party * 20 TurboAbs I find that working this workout in the morning is SO HARD. I have to push myself so much because I have 0 energy. I usually do this workout after work (When i've had at least 4 meals in me as opposed to one). But all in all, I good week and good diet.
Snack: assorted crackers and cheese + bowl of strawberries/blueberries/raspberries err.. not the best meal. But I was at Rob's family party and didn't eat the food there. And it was time to eat and I couldn't eat ice-cream like everyone else! I could have cut back on the cheese and crackers though...it was in front of me... bad excuse, bad habit.
Dinner: BBQ Chicken Pizza 2 slices - homemade with WW crust, chicken breast, red pepper, onion, partly skimmed mozz cheese, tomato sauce and Blue Menu BBQ sauce Dinner:
Snack: protein shake with soy
The Workout
*nothing - rest day after 6 straight days of working out
Preworkout snack: 1 slimdown bar I bought this because I was sooo hungry. Numbers weren't bad. It was a honey oat bar 150 cal 2g fat, 15g protein, 15g carbs (but only 1g sugar)
Dinner: Chicken Stirfry on Brown rice (chicken breats, frozen veggies, Blue Menu Spicy Peanut Satay sauce) This sauce is so friggin awesome. 2 tbsp is 50Cal and low in carbs and its soooo yummy. Great way to flavour chicken. I also bought Uncle Ben's brown rice that you put in the microwave and its ready in 2 min. Super easy, tasted ok, but a little pricy. You guys might want to consider this if you are pressed for time.
Snack: 125ml protein pudding (homemade!). It tastes SOOOO good. So here's an idea. But Jello instant pudding (Fat free-sugar free). Only 8carbs per serving but 0g sugar and 0g fat. Add soy milk to keep carbs down and add protein powder. I added 2 scoops and made 4 servings. Therefore each pudding cup was equivalent to a shake I normally had and SO TASTY!
The Workout
*Cardio Class: Cardio Pump and Crunch Did Step for 20min (So difficult, I was huffing and puffing) and then abs, free weights, body bar and elastic bands for 40min I love this class :D
Snack: Homemade Protein Pudding + handful AllBran Strawberry Bites + green tea
Lunch: 2 WW dinner rolls w. Chicken cold cuts + 1 kraft single light + honey mustard + 1 pear
Snack: 1 protein shake with soy
Preworkout: 1/2 mango
Dinner: 1 bowl of chicken stiryfry on Multigrain Pasta (Same BM Satay sauce + frozen veggies + chicken breast) - I also had 2 HUGE strawberries and a handful of grapes cause my stomach kept growling 1 hour later!
Snack: protein pudding (homemade) + few sips of a protein shake with soy
The Workout
* TurboJam Cardio Party - 45min * 20min TurboAbs
I'm loving the TurboJam workout. I love the way my body is losing fat and gaining muscle. I'm starting to see major changes and I'm feeling good about it! I love how I'm cooking more. I love how I'm reading labels in order to learn more about what I'm putting in my food (and what I should leave out). I love the fact that I'm actually having FUN working out, cooking healthy, and staying active! Who else is enjoying this program??
Snack: 1 WW dinner roll + 2 slices turkey + honey mustard + 1/2 kraft single light
Lunch: mini container or chicken stirfry on multigrain pasta + dinner roll sandwich again
Snack: protein shake with soy + red grapes
Dinner: 1/4 of a WW BBQ Chicken Pizza (homemade) - onions red peper BM BBQ sauce soo good
Snack: protein shake w/ soy + fat free yogurt + few bites of stirfry again
The Workout:
* 20min Eliptical trainer - took turns alternating incline and resistance * 25min run on tredmil - increased from 5.0 to a 7.5 sprint... found that watching CNN made the time fly. I was so interesed in the story that I ran an extra 5 min cause I didn't want to miss it haha.
BTW - watching Pussycat Dolls totally makes you want to work out.
Breakfast: 1 protein shake w/ soy + fat free strawberry yougurt + 1 WW Texas Toast with 1 slick Kraft Single light
Snack: Protein pudding (homemade)
Lunch: Chicken Stirfry (on WW pasta)
Snack: Protein Shake w/ soy + handful AllBran Strawberry Bites
Dinner: Chicken Stirfry (on WW pasta)
Snack: Protein Shake w/ soy + fat free strawberry yogurt
The Workout
* 30min CIRCUT! (Skipping/Running/Step/Walking) Who else found running the hardest part? Rob is right - when you sprint and stop sprint and stop, it totally wears you out * 10 min run on tredmil (at 5.5) Legs were pretty much sore from the circut. Had 10ish minutes to kill, so I thought I'd run for a bit to burn the extra 100 cal
I'm really enjoying how I'm having so much protein in my diet. Protein pudding is a BIG plus. Try it people!
I like low carb days because i stay 'skinny' since my body can't retain any water.
Is it hard?
no. keep in mind, it's only been day 2. and i will be cycling my diet between low carb, mod carb, hi carb. so it's every so often i restrict myself. plus i get my carbs in after my workout. so its not a whole day w/o carbs.
What does it accomplish?
It's a good means to eat up excess fat. Your body always needs an nrg source. The primary source is carbs (stored as glycogen + water). w/o carbs, ur glycogen sources are depleted, water is dropped (why i look skinnier that day) and your body starts to use up its next preferred nrg source - fat. But u have to be careful, cause after that, the next preferred nrg source is protein.
Should you do it?
to shock ur body every so often, sure. of course you and i are at different levels. if anything do what rob wants to do. throw in a low carb day every so often to shock ur system.
Sorry if that one part got too technical. Hope this helps.
Breakfast: 1 WW Texas Toast + 1 egg + 2 whites + 2 slices on ham
Snack: Protein Pudding (homemade) + handful AllBran Strawberry Bites
Lunch: Blue Menu Chicken Pasta
Snack: Protein Shake with soy
Preworkout Snack: Slimdown Bar (only 1g Sugar but 15g protein 15g carbs)
Dinner: Blue Menu Chicken Tikka on Basmati + 1 apple I'm really liking the frozen entres considering that it really makes you aware or portion control and fat/carb intake etc. The Blue Menu frozen entre's are really good depending on which ones you pick. This one is a bit high ion carbs (45g) but it was postworkout and it was basmati rice which is better for you than white. Its low in fat but calories are usually under 300 which may make you hungry quicker. I reccommend eating it with a piece of fruit.
Breakfast: 1 piece WW Texas Toast + 1 egg + 1 white + 2 slices ham
Lunch: turkey bacon club on WW from Timmy's
Dinner: Wedding - see Wall of Shame + 3 carb/fat blockers
The Workout
* 20min TurboJam workout I was super pressed for time. The plan was to run outside but my Mom made me drive her and my grandma around all morning. The wedding was at 1 leaving me with so little time to even work out and shower and fix my hair. I squeezed in a small 20min workout of TurboJam (more like 15min if you take away the warm up and cool down - SO UNFULFILLING!!!). Then it was off the shower and get ready. Was doing wedding stuff all day.
Eerr.. not the best diet and eating overall. But it was expected, cause I was going to a wedding. Sundays workout will make up for Sat (running + bbal practice).
Breakfast: 1 WW toast + 2 eggs + few spoons of fat free Blueberry yougurt
Lunch: bowl of BM Kraft Dinner with Tuna + diet coke
Snack: 1 protein shake with a mini mango + crystal light
Dinner: @ Montanas - 1/4 chicken + 1/2 potato w. salt and pepper + fresh veggies + pepsi
The Workout
* 1/2hr run outside - I don't know how long the run was... I think I ran more than 5km since we ran for 20min and I opted to add 10min more. I did better than I thought I would, considering this was my first run outside since the cancer run. But it was way too hot!
* 2.5hr of baseball - totally exhausting!
Did a lot of cardio today. And from the looks of it... didn't eat enough meals :S
Breakfast: 1 Protein Shake w. a mini mango + 1 WW Texas Tast + 1 slice Kraft Single light * mini mangoes taste awesome in shakes! Plus they are small it helps with portion control
Snack: Protein Pudding
Lunch: brown rice, prok skewer, mixed veggies + diet coke
Snack: All Bran Strawberry Bites + Protein Shake
Dinner: Chicken Stirfry on brown rice + BM Spicy Thai Sauce
Snack: Protein Shake with soy + low fat blueberry yogurt
The Wrokout
* Cardio Pump and Crunch Cardio Class - Cardio, Body Bar workout, resistance bands, crazy squats and butt moves :) Did the class with Mara and Jen, awesome work ladies! Had a great time! We were all sweating like crazy. Me and Mara were laughing so hard doing the resistance band workout because we were in so much pain! I like how much the instructor pushed us. Crazy woman haha! Weekly ritual indeed :)
Yes I was aware that conrad's comment was from body break. I just found it random and thus hilarious.
As for the protein powder thing...Its just for that particular day more than 50% of my meals and perhaps calories were from protein powder. Is it bad? Not necessarily. Apparently it just makes u gassy. I don't think i encountered that side effect. So my reasoning? It's just a protein source. It's not like actual food where i could be getting in other nutrients/vitamins as well.
Breakfast: 2 omega eggs + 1 WW toast + 1 kraft single light + few spoons of Astro Zero Blueberry Yogurt
Snack: Protein Pudding that leaked into my lunch bag!! + handful Allbran Bites
Lunch: BM frozen Dinner (Chicken Schewazn) + 1 apple + diet coke These BM frozen dinners are so yummy! I little bit small, the one I ate was only 200cal and pretty decent protein/carb portions. Plus low fat. And I like the flavours what what I've tried so far. + 1 apple
Snack: Protein shake w. soy + couple AllBran Bites
Dinner: WW pasta + red pepper + red onion + chicken breast + Ragu sauce (mmm!) + 2 jumbo Strawberry (These strawberries from Longos are on steroids! They are Huge!)
Snack: blueberry protein shake
The Workout:
* 45min TurboJam Cardio Party * 20min TurboAbs
I dunno, I was super sore - both from baseball on Sunday and the cardio class on monday. I could barely do my cardio workout with the intensity that I wanted because my arms were too sore and I couldn't punch properly! So it pissed me off a bit. And my Abs were killing so I couldn't do the Abs workout that well.
I've been working out straight since Monday last week.. I need a rest day soon. I'm sore all over booooooooo. I think I'll go light at the gym tonight. Maybe a light jog...*shrugs*
OH - and I've found the secret to making the perfectly think protein pudding. Make the pudding first and then add the protein powder! See you make the pudding first, mix it for 2 min, let it stand for 3min, then stir in the protein powder. Don't mix the protein with the jello mix together. It just turns soupy!
Snack: 1 blueberry protein shake + 2 slices of ham
The Workout
Uhh.. extreme cardio day! It wasn't the plan trust me. * 1.5 hours of baseball practice I don't really consider this much of a workout since I didn't even break out a sweat. But I was somewhat moving aroung, working on my throwing/catching, hitting practice, and jogging on the spot (I was cold!) * 40min run on the tredmill I thought I would go light since I was sore all over but I ran a really decent run. Stayed between 5.5 to 6.5 (peak at 7.5 at one point) for the majority of my run * 8min walk on the tredmill (incline @ 5) Err.. I was gossiping with Mara * 10min on Elliptical Err.. gossiping with Mara again
Overall a good cardio day. A little too long but gossiping and walking doesn't really feel like excercise to me.
I find that my endurance is getting a lot better. When I was running at 5.5 for 10minutes I was barely sweating. Maybe I should start high (6.0+) or add an incline? Something to consider...
I really enjoyed the eggo waffle in the morning. It felt like dessert. Its quite yummy plus it has fibre. The sugar free syrup (ed smith) is quite watery but only 10cal per tbsp and 2g of sugar. Its a nice treat in the morning.
Awesome work team! The circut was super hard this week. I think it was the jumping jacks, esp when you did them in sequence with the skipping rope and the step. Felt quite out of breath by the end but had an awesome workout :)
Snack: All Bran Strawberry Bites (friggin ran out of pudding mix)
Lunch: 6" Roasted Chicken on WW from Subway + honey mustard + diet coke
Snack: 1 Slimdown Bar
Preworkout: 1 mini mango
Dinner: BM Mac n Cheese + 1 piece chicken breast
Snack: 1 apple + fat free yogurt + protein shake
The Workout
* 40min TurboSculpt * 20min TurboAbs
This was GIRL NIGHT - the night of birthday cake and endless snacking. I HAD NONE!!!!! I'm so proud of myself. Coming straight from dinner, I must say that I wasn't craving the pizza or lumpia at all (and my car was smelling like lumpia too!). I think the bday cake is what make my mouth ache for cake! But in the end I just kept thinking - NO WAY. And I drank my shake and munched on my apple and yogurt for the rest of the night. I got my six meals in but when you go to bed at 3.. I guess I should have brought more food. Hence my stomach grumbling like mad all night. The green tea did NOT help.
Overall super proud that I didn't cheat and that I wasn't craving the junk food. *high five mara* :)

Dinner: Swiss Chalet 1/4 Chicken White meat + 1 multigrain roll + fresh veggies + chalet sauce *also ate 1 cheesestring inbetween my snack and dinner cause I didn't get to eat until more than 4 hours later.
Snack: Protein shake with soy + 2 slices of ham
The Workout
OFFDAY *whoop whoop* I could have went to bball practice but working out 12 days straight, I just really wanted a BREAK. So I did :)
I loved the trip to the mall. I didn't notice how damn LOOSE my jeans are. I friggin need a belt. They keep saggin on me! I had lots of fun shopping around with everyone trying on stuff. Liking how my shoulders and arms are starting to look more muscular *yay turboSculpt* and woohoo squeezed into a XS at Urban. Double whoop!
Glad to see that everyone is doing so well. I don't know how much I've lost in a month, but Rob weighed my and I came in arround 121-122lbs. That means I gained MUSCLE!!!!!! So exciting! And the fact that my clothes are looser means that woohoo, I'm losing fat.
I'm loving this program, glad to see everyone is happy with their results. Keep up the good work everyone!
1.) BE CONSISTENT Overall I've done a really good job with this. The ultimate goal was to workout 4-5 times a week. Since I've started this competition, I've done 6 days each week. I've also varied my workout between, cardio classes, the gym, and TurboJam
2.) I want to eat as well as I can...I am going to try to eat well everyday and find alternatives when people around me cheat. Done and Done. I'm very surprised with my lack of cheating. I'm glad that I can go to girl nights and not pig out but bring my own snacks. I'm also glad I can persuade people from going to unhealthy restaurants and go to better places. 3.) I want to gain my endurance with running back I have accomplished this goal. Starting out, the running was quite difficult (huffing and puffing). Now I can do a moderate pace and not break a sweat. I can run outside now and run long distances with no problem. If I do have a new goal with running, it would be to keep at it (esp running outside) and get faster (ie. cut down my run times while running long distances). I don't have an ideal goal yet in terms of time b/c I need to still get use to running outside before I can accuratly time myself.
4.) I want to flatten my tummy Its getting there!
5.) I need to eat more protein so I need to find a way to cut the carbs *tear I'm glad to say I've definetly upped the protein (I try to have 3 shakes/protein pudding a day). I've also cut off the sugary cereals, vanilla soy (its unsweetend now), and practically all white carbs (except if its post workout).
6.) I want to stay fit and active even after this competition is done. I'm in the workout zone. And I need to look good for Sauble AND the cruise. So I don't think I will fall off this program after 3 months.
Workout Goals: * running on the treadmill (endurance) - check * elliptical on slower pace workout days - check * jogging outside when warmer - check * cardio classes - check * TurboJam!!! (inc. the weight program and ab routine) - check
So far, I've been consistent with all of my workout goals. My workout week usually goes like this: * Mon - cardio/weight class 1hr * Tues - 45min TurboJam Cardio Party + 20min Cardio Abs * Wed - Cardio on Tredmil/Elliptical 30-45min * Thurs - Circuit with the Team * Fri - Turba Sculpt 40min + 20min Abs * Sat - usually rest day * Sun - varies (sometimes bball practice, running outside, or going to the gym
I like my workout routine so far. I'm getting results and I'm super proud. I'm going to try to add in ONE more weight day. Possibly Wed before the gym. That way I get Wed and Fri weights + the weights I do in the class on Monday = 3 days.
As for Diet, I like what I'm seeing so I'm not changing anything. I will try to keep being innovative with my meal choices, finding new ways to make healthier meals.
Snack: 1 cheddar cheesestring + 1 apple + 1 kraft single light
Dinner: 1 WW dinner roll + homemade chicken burger + small scoop of WW pasta
Snack: few strawberries + protein shake w. soy
The Workout
* Ran outside - approx 7.3km took me around 38 minutes. I didn't have a watch on me so I tried to add up all the songs that I listened to during my run, so my time is probably a bit off.
For those who are interested, I mapped out the route on my car (well from what I could anyways). - Valley's parking lot to first stop sign in front of Dominion = 1km - Dominion Stop Sign to Thronhill elementary school = 1 km - Thronhill to the park beside Metro is 1km - Park by Metro till Bloor street approx 0.6 km If you run there and back its a good 7km+ for those interested in long distance runs.
Since it was a nice day, this is the route I ran, from the Valley, all the way down Mississauga Valley Blvd to Bloor and back. Took my quite awhile, the distance wasn't the problem, I wasn't tired at all (which surprised me), and it wasn't too hot. My ankle was just hurting (probably not use to the long distance outdoor running) but all in due time. Running outside at long distances excites me. I found this run harder on the ankles then the Erindale run cause it was all sun all sidewalk. At least erindale has soft dirt paths and forrest.
Here's another tip for all. Homemade lean chicken burgers - SO EASY SO YUMMY! I take no credit in making it, my Dad did. But I asked him how ne did it. Just buy a pack of lean chicken or turkey mince. Add spices to flavor, and then add an egg to make it stick together. Add WW bread crumbs to the top, glaze egg white on top to make the breadcrumbs stick and pan fry in either olive oil or pam. If you guys have time time, you can make a few patties and its a good source of protein and low in fat!
Lunch: 2 WW dinner rolls with sliced turkey cold cuts + 1 kraft single light + honey mustard + Nestea Zero
Snack: 1 Slimdown Bar + red grapes
Dinner: 1 Multigrain Tilipia + 1 small square of salmon + 1 WW dinner roll
Snack: 3 slices turkey breast
The Workout
* Cardio Class - Cardio Pump and Crunch 1hour - free weights, sliding disc things, areobics, abs, resistance bands
Allright people I was bursting with Omega today! Overall, I liked my meals. I had a lot of protein for breakfast but my stomach started growling after 2 hours! Maybe cause i'm working out more I should eat more?? Cause I'm sitting here typing and I usually eat my next meal at 12 but 11 came along and *growl* - Therefore, am I eating enough for breakfast?
I liked my dinner. The Multigrain Tilipia has a lot of fat (11g - but all good fats) and a lot of carbs (20g but 5g fibre no sugar) with 19g of protein. Thats why I decided to have a salmon square (only 90cal) for the added Protein and I ate it with a dinner roll. Needless to say, I was BURSTING WITH OMEGA and poly/mono saturates or whatever.
I had a late dinner (8:30ish) and was therefore so stuffed I technically missed my last meal. (Three cold cuts don't count I know!). Plus I went to bed at 10:30 cause I was so tired, so I ate the cold cuts while making my lunch and missed my 11:30 shake. Booo...
Ok so Mara and I were talking about the cardio class next week. Its step and then weights. But the next class (7:30) is the ball class. We are debating doing the two classed in a row... we talked to our instructor and she told us we can do it no problem (but she's also cardio crazy sooo I dunno...) any takers? Jen??
Wow...May already! Soon it will be time for cruisin'
Breakfast: 1 WW waffle + 2 tbsp sugar free syrup + protein shake w. soy
Snack: Protein Pudding + handful AllBran Strawberry Bites
Lunch: 2 WW dinner roll turkey sandwiches with honey mustard + 1 kraft single light
Snack: 1 protein shake w. soy + small bag of red grapes
Pre-workout: 1/2 a banana
Dinner: 1 cup brown rice + broccoli/green beans/red pepper in Knorrs Marinade suace + 2 pork skewers (Mr.Greek brand - bought at Food Basics)
Snack: protein shake w. soy + 1 kraft single light + 1 slice of turkey
* Who else finds that eating kraft single slices on its own satisfying? Its less protein then a cheesestring (by 1 g only) and waaaaay less fat (0.2sat vs. 2.5sat), and less cals too (35 vs 70)
The Workout
* 45min TurboJam Cardio Party * 20min Turbo Abs * 1min with my Mom's super hula hoop
So my Mom has this working out hula hoop. Its this big hoop with ball things all around it. Meant to 'tone your abs' - anyways I tried it for fun. I could hula for 1 minute without stopping. Only problem was that it felt like someone was jabbing me in the stomach. It hurt so much I think I'm going to get bruises. And I don't think it works either!
Gonna start my Wed TurboJam weights tommorow. And possibly meet at the gym later at night.. ohh double workout :S
Snack: 1/2 protein shake with soy + 1 kraft single light + fate free yogurt
The Workout
* 40min TurboSculpt weight program * 20min TurboJam cardio workout
Yea... too tired to go the the gym and do another workout. I find that if you do weights and wait a few hourse, your muscles feel very sore and heavy. I need to rething my Wed plan.. might not be going to the gym on Wed anymore.. need to think about it.
Overall good diet and workout day. I'm getting toned toned toned and lovin it!
So I tried WW couscous for the first time. Interesting taste but too many carbs per serving hence the 3 tbsp only.
Lunch: 2 WW dinner roll turkey sandwiches w. honey mustard + 1 kraft single light + diet coke
Snack: protein shake w. soy + 1 cheesestring
Dinner: 1 Blue Menu frizen Entre (Chicken Bangkok - 30g carbs, 19g protein, 220 cal, so not too bad) + 3 slices turkey + 1 apple
Preworkout: handful Allbran
Snack: 1 protein shake w. soy + fat free yogurt
The Workout
* 15min on Elliptical Crossramp 15, Resistance 10
* 30min run on the tredmill 0-5min @ 5.0 6-10min @ 5.5 11-15min @ 6.0 16-20min @ 6.5 21-25min @ 7.0 26-30min @ 7.5
For some reason I was feeling quite stong today, hence all the heavy resistance. Overally, I had an intensice workout. I really felt like my legs were getting stronger. I think its from all the squats and leg lifts I'm doing with the TurboSculpt program. I could definetly feel the difference during my run (which is what prompted me to keep increasing the speed). And I definetly noticed it in the elliptical. Usually I start at 5 resistence and 10 crossramp. But today, it felt too easy so I ended up doing 10R and 15C the whole 15min - and I felt STRONG.
Or maybe it was the Preworkout AllBran snack giving me energy...
Lunch: Turkey Bacon Club from Timmys on WHITE! (See wall of Shame) + green apple
Snack: fat free yogurt + 1 slimdown bar
Dinner: WW pasta w. chicken breast w. Primvera sauce
Snack: 1 Slimdown bar + 1 cheesestring
The Workout
* 40min Turbo weights * 20min TurboAbs
Overall good diet day. Except the damn white bread! Glad that I brought my own snacks to the club. Though warm cheesestring doesn't taste that great. Glad we avoided the Tremendous though!
Breakfast: 1 WW Sunflower Flax toast + 1 kraft single light + 1/2 protein shake with soy + fat free yogurt
Snack: Turkey Bacon Club from Timmys on WW with lettace, Honey Mustard

Dinner: 1 lean BM chicken burger + ketchup on WW bun
Snack: 1 WW toast + 1/2 can tuna + 1 kraft single light (ohh yea tuna melt!!!)
The Workout
REST DAY
Did a small bit of excercise considering I slept in but still made it to bball practice.
Lots of healthy food at the BBQ but I have a really bad tendancy to eat whatevers in front of me. I know that I avoided all the chips, pies, cookies *pats self on back* -- but I think I may have eaten too much fruit and veggies. Healthy I know, but all in moderation. Should have just stuck with a small cup of fruit, few veggies. But when you pick at it, you don't really consider that you may be over eating.
BTW, StoneyCreek bread has WAY too many CARBS. Hence the 1 slice only. Been thinking of trying the Weight Watchers bread... anyone tried it yet? Also on a random note, LIGHT cheese has 5g protein vs. FAT FREE which only has 4g. Interesting...
Breakfast: 1 WW toast + 1 kraft singel light + 1 egg 1 white and 1/2 protein shake
Lunch: Swiss Chalet 1/4 chicken white + 1/2 baked potato with a little sour cream + fresh veggies and chalet sauce
Snack: 1 protein shake w. soy + 1/2 mango + 1/2 WW english muffin with jam
Dinner: Swiss Chalet 1/4 chicken white + 1/2 baked potato with a little sour cream + fresh veggies and chalet sauce
The Workout
* 7.2km run - 45min * 2 Softball Games
So yea, did the same run as I did last week (Valleys parking lot, all along Mississauga Valley Blvd to Bloor street and back). It took me about 5min longer then it did last week. I didn't think it was going to be as cold as it was. Hence, I ran in my shorts and sweatshirt. I found that this was a big difference. I was quite cold during my run (hands freezing, hardly sweating). I think I run best in hot hot weather (its what I'm use to). Also, the wind was pretty crazy and I was running against it which I think slowed me down more than the cold weather. A bit disapointed with my time but glad I did the run again. I think I might make it my weekly Sunday morning ritual -- anyone care to join?
Dinner: 6" Roasted Chicken on WW + honey mustard/cheese/lettace/onions
Snack: 1 Protein shake w. soy + 1/2 slice WW toast w. sugar free strawberry jam + i tbsp fat free yogurt
The Workout
* 1hr Cardio Pump and Crunch 15 min cardio on the Step (totally leaves your breathless), body bar, free weights, resistance bands, and various arm/chest/ab excercises using the step
Boo to you all who missed the class! I know it wasn't your fault. Had fun doing the class with Louroz though. He's a funny one. I think we should do the 2 classes next week cause he did that! And I told him we would try his class ince we tried his. And its back to kickboxing next week (boooo - step is way funner).
Tried sugar free jam for the first time. ED Smith Strawberry. Only 10cal per tbsp and 2g carbs. Not bad tasting. Just not as fruity and more watery. But overall, I think I will start using the Jam sometimes and take a break from the kraft singles (cause I'm getting bored of it in the morning).
Breakfast: 1 Egg + 2 whites + 1 WW toast + 1/2 of it wil Sugar Free jam the other 1/2 with 1 Kraft Single Light + fat free yogurt
Snack: Protein Pudding + AllBran Bites
Lunch: Turkey Bacon Club on WW from Timmys + 1 pear
Snack: 1 Slimdown Bar + fat free yogurt
Dinner: 1 Multigrain Tilipa + fresh veggies + less then 1/2 cup rice (too lazy to make more - leftovers)

The Workout
* 40min TurboJam Weights * 25min run on the tredmill 0-5min @ 5.0 6-15min @ 5.5 16-20min @ 6.0 20-25min @ 6.5
Did the double workout today. Lifted weights for 40min after work and then went to the gym to with the gang at 9:30. I felt quite sore from the run so I didn't run at the hightest intesity because my legs felt like lead from all the TurboSculpt squats!
I am really liking how my legs are starting to shape up. This is the first time I'm starting to notice a difference since I've started this program.
Breakfast: protein shake + 1 WW toast + 1 Kraft Single light
Snack: protein pudding + handful Allbran Bites
Lunch: 1 Multigrain bun + 4 slices turkey + honey mustard + 1 kraft singel light
Snack: 1 cheesestring + fat free yogurt
Dinner: 1 Multigrain Tilipia + WW pasta + fresh veggies
Postworkout: Turkey Bacon Club from Timmy's
The Workout
* 40min-ish run outside Ran with Basil, Mara and Rob - good job team! I don't know how far or how long we really ran for. Went from the Valley's along Miss Valley Blvd to Bloor, down Bloor to Central and back to the Valleys. Had to lok for Mara and Bas so we ran all over somemore till we found them! Good thing there was no MooMoo.
Breakfast: protein shake + 1 WW toast + 1 kraft single light
Snack: cheesestring (doesn't really count as a meal I know!)
Lunch: Turkey Bacon Club from Timmy's + Nestea Zero + green apple
Snack: 1 Slimdown Bar + fat free yogurt
Dinner: Buffet (See Wall of Shame)
The Workout
* 40min TurboSculpt Weights
Had to super rush my workout today considering dinner was at 7pm. Rushed home, squeezed in my weight routine (pats self on back). But cause I had to shower and drive there, had no time to do my 20min Abs or even a 20min cardio like I usually do.
I'm glad I still got to workout cause I was going to take it as my rest day and workout Sat instead. But I decided that with Atlantic City coming up (with possible cheats and 3 straight days of not working out) that I better step up the effort.
Oh yea, Buffet = postwork! A really bad postworkout meal but still! haha
Breakfast: 1 protein shake + 1 WW Eggo Waffle w. sugar free syrup + fat free yogurt
Lunch: Swiss Chalet from work (woohoo free lunch) - 1/4 Chicken white + 1 baked potato (thin spread of sour cream), no bun (it was white)
Postwork: Turkey Bacon Club from Timmy's (with no lettace what the heck) and waaaaaaaaay to much honey mustard (I had to wipe it off with a napkin) + few spoons of Rob's Chili
Suppose to be my rest day but I worked out anyways, woohoo 7 days straight (Its all cause I'm thinking about Atlantic City!) * 30min run on the Tredmill 0-5min @ 5.0 6-10min @ 5.5 11-15min @ 6.0 16-20min @ 6.5 21-25min @ 7.0 26-30min@ 6.5 I was planning on doing to light jog but the old grey haried dude next to me was killing it on the tredmill and I felt the need to beat him... hahah *15min on Elliptical 15.0 CrossRamp, Resistane 7.0-9.0
Overall, I'm glad that I didn't take a rest day though I was quite tired. I find that when you run next to people who are going faster than you, it makes you want to go faster. Anyone else feel like that or is it just me?
Breakfast: protein shake with soy + 1 WW Toast + 1 fat free jam + fat free yogurt
Lunch: 6" Roasted Chicken Sub from Subway (onions, lettace, honey mustard) + Nestea Zero
Snack: 1 bowl Yogactive Cereal with strawberries + 1 kraft single light + 1 apple (during the bbal game)
Dinner: Swiss Chalet 1/4 chicken white + vegtables + 1/2 based potato with a little sour cream + chalet sauce , diet pepsi
The Workout
* Ran outside from the Valley's down Miss Valley Blvd to Bloor, down Bloor to Central and back to the Valley's -- I really should measure out this run. I'm thinking its 5ish km but I really want to know for sure. Plus, I wasn't watching the time at all. Considering buying a cheap timex watch to use for running.
* 2 Softball games (woohoo 1-1!)
I had an awful protein shake in the morning. Why Gourmet's Artic Frappichino. YUCK! It tasted like coffee. For some reason I thought that it would just taste better.
Ran with my sister this morning. She slowed me down (cause I didn't want to get her lost) but she did better then I expected. Plus I didn't want to push myself - 8 days straight of working out and going straight till Friday.
I really want to start doing the Erindale run again since the weather is getting so much nicer.
Breakfast: 2 eggs + 2 slices ham + 1 WW waffle + sugar free syrup + 1 kraft single light
Snack: Protein Pudding, handful AllBran Bites

Snack: Slimdown Bar + fatfree yogurt
Dinner: @ Astoria (nice place!) 1 White pita w. chicken breast, taziki sauce, fresh veggies *err.. maybe I overate. biggest meat portions I've ever seen, but it was postworkout. And I scraped a good 3-4 tbsp of Taziki off my pita.
Snack: 1 protein shake w. soy + 1 kraft single light
The Workout
* 1hr Cardio Pump and Crunch Kickboxing (not too bad) + Resistance training (bands, bar, free weights) and Abs - made me sweat like a mofo
Snack: Protein Shake w. soy + 1/2 WW toast with sugar free jam
The Workout
* 45min TurboJam Cardio Party * 20min TurboAbs
For some reason I found it REALLY HARD to do my workout today. Maybe cause my house was so hot and I was dripping like a for the whole hour. But I felt really tired and totally lacked energy. Maybe it was cause I've been working out so hard without a break or maybe it was the fact that I really didn't eat a meal between lunch and dinner? Well I had the cereal but that didn't give me energy!!
Only 3 more workout days before freedom! Been working out hard, adding more weights, playing bbal with no breaks. I really think my body deserves the 3 days off (because of Atlantic City wooo!).
I decided to eat less BM Kraft Dinner. Ususally I can eat 1/2 the box. But I found that if I split my half in two, I'm still satisfied after I eat.
Oh yea, and I need new breakfast ideas. Getting tired of eggs.
Ohhh see, I don't drink POP at all. And I only drink ICE TEA when we're out eating, but i haven't had ice tea in awhile. I only chug on green tea, water & milk. Mostly watever & green tea.
Yesss, thanks for calling me. see you at the gym tonight. I can't miss anymore days. :S
Horrible Horrible eating weekend. As I told Jen, I feel Pouffy. Haha But thank goodness, eating is back to normal.
Breakfast: 1 WW toast + 1 kraft single light + protein shake with soy, fat free yogurt
Snack: Protein Pudding
Lunch: 6" Roasted Chicken on WW w. Honey Mustard + 1 apple

Snack: protein shake w. soy
The Workout
* 40min TurboJam Cardio Party * 20min TurbJam Abs
It felt soooo good to finally workout and eat well :D I think I've got all the cravings out of my system. Had a taste of pizza, wings, candy, chocolate, Ice Cap, McDonalds, cookies, fast food galore... I think i'm good till Chicago.
Only my little cousins bday party is on Sat and they are ordering Chinese.. Bloodyhell...
I know that I havn't posted since Tuesday. And I'm having trouble remembering what I ate during the week.
Here are my workouts from Wed - Sat Wed: 40min Turbo Sculpt + 25min run outside Used 7lbs free weights for the first time, such a challenge to do thw whole routine with this weight. But I'm quite proud that I started with 2.5 lbs weights and now I'm using 7. Thurs: 45min TurboJam Cardio Party + 20min TurboAbs Friday: 40min TurboSculpt + walked around the mall for 3 hours, haha
Daily Diet [Friday May 25]
Breakfast: Turkey Bacon Club on WW from Timmys w. Honey mustard
Lunch: mango + pineapple + 6" Roasted Chicken on WW from Subway * I also had 1/2 a small brownine. I spilt it in half and gave the bigger piece to Eric haha. But I just wanted a taste of it! (This was at Rob's fiesta thingy)
Dinner: Chinese Food (see wall of shame)
Snack: fries and pizza (also see wall of shame haha)
Its nearing the end of our program and I decided that I need to step it out a bit. Not making any drastic changes since I eat well and workout hard. But my main goal is to add one more day of weights and the increase the amount of weight I use to challenge my body.
Monday: 1hr class with the girls. I'm keeping this the way it is because i like how we do a little bit of everything (weights, resistance, cardio). I get a great 1hr workout, and thats good enought for me.
Tuesday: 45min CardioParty + 20min Abs - leaving this the same as well. TurboJam still is a killer cardio workout for me, plus I'm not bored of it yet. Unless JenG lets me do HipHop Abs with her :)
Wed: 40min TurboSculpt with 7lbs weights. (Up from 5lbs - its such a challenge for me) + 30min of some type of cardio - running outside, weather permitting, or gym with the team
Thurs: gym with the team (possible circut) or running outside, weather permitting
Friday: 40min TurboSculpt w. 7lbs weights + either 20min cardio or 20min abs
Sat: rest day
Sunday: weights @ the gym Upper/Lower body supersets + 30min cardio (inside or outside) + baseball
I'm really finding that weights (and adding weight) to my program is whats making me see the major changes in my body. Doing weights at the gym with Robert today (Sunday), I was stronger then I thought! Need to work on doing the squat properly though. Weights as the gym, I admit, is not as fun as doing it at home. I don't like people watching me for some reason...
Dinner: 1/4 cup brown rice + shrimp + chicken breast
Snack: Protein Shake w. Soy + 1 pear
The Workout
* Weights with Robert surprised myself with the amount I could lift. Those squats friggin killed me. * 25min run on the tredmill 5.0-7.5 * 2 bball games
Dinner: @ Astoria 1 small chicken breast skewer + roasted potatoes + grilled calamari
Snack: protein shake with soy
The Workout
* 60min Cardio Pump and Crunch Jen, it was so hard this week. Thanks for making me laugh. When you fell over *slaps knee* oh man...
Astoria is so great. A bit expensive but you totally get your money's worth. The portion sizes here are waaaaaaaaay to big. But I found that if you pick out exactly what you want to eat and push the rest away to take home, you get a healthy meal and you don't overeat! I got the small chicken skewer (which is quite large) so I ate like 3/4 of it. Then I selected 3 small potato portions and Rob took the rest home.
Yes the end is in sight! I'm super proud of everyone. We've been doing so great and we've all been working so hard. Keep up all the good work!
Yoooo. I will be running outside today later on with Bas & Diana. But I also want to do weights, so maybe I'll go and grab my weights from Rob's right after work. and do weights first at Bas' then start walking to goetz then running on the tracks. Come if you want, it'll be fun!
Good job with the class double! We are trying BOOT CAMP next sunday, ok? (Read my blog!)
Breakfast: 2 eggs 1 white + 2 WW Weight Watchers bread w. 1 kraft siongle light and jam + fat free yogurt
Snack: protein pudding
Lunch: Turkey Bacon Club w. cheddar cheese @ timmy's
Snack: 1 Slimdown bar + 1 kraft single light + few strawberries
Dinner: 6" Roasted Chicken from Subwway on WW w. HM
Snack: Protein shake w. soy + fat free yogurt
The Workout
* Cardio Plus class 40min * Abs 20min * 2 Bbal games
The class was ok. I found that I wasn't sweating as much either. Cause I do like the Cardio Pump and Crunch a lot better as well. But it was a lot of jumping around. And now my calves hurt! I'm up for trying the Bootcamp on Sunday too! 10:15 is it? HIGH FIVE TEAM :D
As for running today I will see. Gonna do 40min of weights at home, pick Rob up from the gym, and I think he needs to do weights at the Valley's so I might just do my cardio there. But I'll let you know.
You know what? I have a magic Bullet. I've had one for, I dunno, a few months now when they went on sale at Canadian Tire for $49.99. And it's still in the box :S I keep using my crappy hand blender that sounds like its going to break at any minute. I think I use it cause cleaning it is easier then cleaning the big blender. And I'm too lazy also to pull the Magic Bullet out of the box haha.
BTW has anyone tried the Special K chocolate delight cereal? I know you eat Speical K Mara, but I think you eat the plain one? I saw it at Longos for $2.99 and I think I will go back and buy a box of that and the box of fruit and yogurt cereal. I'm tired of eggs in the morning.
I've tried the Special K chocolate delight cereal, but I'm not really into chocolates. (Just twix and Chocolate covered almonds.) It's not bad, I do love Special K with Almonds. Yummmmmmmmmm. I also tried the Special K with bits of strawberries in it as well. It all depends on what you like, right?
I'll see you all at the gym tonight. Are we doing circuit? I'm going to the gym early though cause I want to start my work out early and go to bed early. I am soooo tired from work all this week. Plus RUNS HOUSE is on tonight! ;)
Lunch: WW pasta (1cup) + veggies, chicken breast w. BM Schewan sauce
Snack: 1 Slimdown Bar + FF cheese + handful cheeries
Preworkout: small bowl of Special K Choc Delight w. soy
Dinner: 1/4 cup brown rice + chicken breast, veggies + teryaki sauce
Snack: Protein shake w. soy + 2 turkey slices
The Workout
* 40min Weights - TurboJam
Friggin hard to do the weights today with the 7lbs weights. I was sore from the past few days of working out and my body was aching bad. But I did the whole thing and today (Thurs) I'm SO DAMN SORE, esp my arms. But its all worth it. Really starting to notice definition in my arms and shoulders and legs too. WHOOP WHOOP!
I've now tried the Special K cereal with Chocolate. It tastes better plaing then with milk. But I don't think that I will buy it again cause the cereal makes you crave a chocolate bar. Tries the Fruit and Yogurt cereal this morning (Thrus) waaaay better. I don't like the Vanilla Almond cerela Mara. I Find that is too sweet and the almonds taste like candy. If anything I like the Strawberry one. But don't you find that when you reach the end of the box, theres no strawberries left? Haha
I'm officially out of Protein powder and bars. FRIGGG!!!!! Well I have this nasty tasting coffee one but my choc and vanilla are all gone! Time to invest yet again in protein.. BOOO
Snack: 1 bowl Special K yogurt and berries + soy + 1 lean beef burger with BM ketchup
The Workout
* 30+min run outside - Approx 5.5km Ran from Aristia to Tompkin and back. High five Rob and Lou! It was a hard run b/c it was so damn humid. Gross sticky weather :S. I'm not a fan of this route b/c there are too many stoplights. It ruins the flow of the run when you're stopping at the lights all the time!
Special K's yogurt and berries are SOOO GOOD :D Better then chocolate delight!
Seriously considering carb cycling. Like high carb on my weight days and low to moderate on the others... Need to decide by Sunday.

Meal 3: 1 Slimdown bar + 1 apple + FF cheese
Meal 4: 6" Roasted Chicken from Subway

The Workout
* 1hr BOOTCAMP @ the Valleys Killer class! This lady whipped me and Mara into shape. It was basically difficult move after move after move with only 15sec break. Running, jumping over steps, resistance training, weights, cardio, abs Very difficult class to do. Jen you better come next week!

The Workout
* Interval Running - 30+ minutes Ran from The Valley's to bloor, back to the valleys down Central Parkwway - approx 5km
I liked this run to. Ran continuous the whole time. I suprised myself. I thought that the low carb would make me lack energy but I was actually ok.
First day of carb cycling was OK. Trying it again today and then normal on the weekend. I hit ALL my goals, yay so proud!
According to my weight, I'm suppose to eat approx 84g carbs and 164g protein. I was over my carbs by a bit and slightly under my protein and fat levels. But me and Rob worked it out and I came really really close so I'm quite satisfied.
Gonna keep up with the carb cycling until Chicago. Totally excited to see the results in the end :)

Meal 3: Cheat! Fam party - chinese food + ice cream cake
Meal 4: Cheat! @ Sizzling Jacks Bacon Egg and Cheese on white + home fries
The Workout
Nothing (rest day)
Uhh.. the Chinese food ice cream cheat was planned. Since it was a family party, its rude not to eat the food. But the Sizziling Jacks? :S It was after Arlenes bday and at 3am, theres not much to choose from! Next cheat - CHICAGO! Gotta buckle down!
Meal 4: Protein Pudding, cheesestring Carbs = 10-12g
Meal 5: (Postworkout) roasted pork, 2 small white potatoes with salt and pepper, deit pepsi Carbs = 30g?
Meal 6: Protein shake, FF cheese Carbs = 8g
Approx 70-80g of Carbs today to I'm hitting my goal :) Tommorow its back to normal eating (modearte cabrs) and then back to low carb on Thurs.Fri. Going to assess my results at the end of the week to see if I'm going to stick with the low carb till Chicago.
The Workout
* 40min TurboJam Cardio Party * 20min Cardio Abs
So hard to do this workout out low carb. I felt that I was dying out at the end. Or maybe cause the AC wasn't on in my house yet and I was sweating like craaaaaaaaazy.
Yay, class tommorow (TMC - Total Muscle Conditioning)!
Meal 1: protein shake with soy, Speical K Red Berries cereal with soy
Meal 2: Slimdown Bar, FF yogurt
Meal 3: 1 medium baked potato, roasted pork
Meal 4: protein pudding, kraft single light
Meal 5: Turkey bacon club on WW with ceddar cheese, honey mustard, lettace, diet pepsi + 1 small apple and 4 strawberries
Meal 6: protein shake with soy
The Workout
* 1hr TMC (Total Muscle Conditioning) - a whole hour of weights on the ball. Friggin jokes! I kept rolling away ahahah. It was quite hard cause I've never done any work on the ball before even though I have one at home! But it was quite a challenge doing some of the moves. Had to use the 5lbs weights for the whole routine. Found some parts ok and some parts really hard. Gonna work up to the 7lbs - think I can do it.
I like my TurboJam weight program better, but I think that I will at least go to this class for the next few weeks to change up my rountine a bit. I think weights on the ball for 1hr will benefit me. I'll still do Turbo weights on fridays at home with my 7lbs. So yes Mara I will keep going with you. And where is everyone.
I know you're prolly wondering what happened last night. I'll explain later.
I hope you guys didn't think that I was last because I was clearly NOT last! I was always ahead of Jay V. Even with the few stops I made due to Bas. Whenever I'd looked back, I couldn't see him. So I'd stop. Then run again and always up ahead of Jay V. Once I reached the vallies, I told Jay V. to just keep going and tell you guys that I reached that point because I had to run back and see where Bas was. Then towards the end, something happened and it just totally blew me off. =)
I just wanted to get that point cleared out! hahahaha. That I wasn't last!
Anyway, I'm off to the zoo today. I'm so tired, was up 'til like 2am. have a wonderful day, it's Friday!
Meal 4: @ Swiss Chalet (1/4 chicken white, rice, white bun) - POST WORKOUT AGAIN!
The Workout
* 1hr 15min of Bootcamp! * 2 softball games
So tired from working out all day yesterday. First the class made me siper tired. Then the game just wore me out. All that running around in the hot sun made me feel drainned.
Woo Swiss Chalet 3 times in the past 2 days. I just can't get tired of it.
I guess this is a "there and back again" type blog. I once was fat, then I was skinn(ier), and now once again I am fat.
I've made the decision (once again) that I need to make some changes, but this time, make them for good. I am married now. I have a house, a wife who loves me, a great family, an amazing support network of friends, and a dream of starting my own family. I have reasons... more then ever before, to take my life back...

I don't know how often I can fill this out since I'm quite busy, but I'll try to fill it out everyday.
Am I allowed to say that I'm SUPER EXCITED about this competition. I think its because for the last 2 weeks, I've been going to the gym consistently and trying to eat well. And in that short time, I'm noticing some small changes in myself:
1.) I noticed my work pants are looser *woot woot*
2.) I find that I have more energy
3.) I'm starting to feel good about myself again (due to the fact that I havn't worked out during the winter, I was starting to feel like a lazy slob)
4.) My mentality about food has TOTALLY changed
5.) I'm getting my endurance back and its so exciting to me
I'm so excited by my results (as small as they are right now) that I really REALLY don't want to cheat. At baskin robins the other day, I really wanted a scoop of something. But I figured, 1 scoop = 200 cals... and 200 cals = a 25 min intensive run on the treadmil. Now is that really worth it?
So here's day one of my eating habits. I think I still need to cut the carbs but its a nice start:
Breakfast: 1 bowl Rasin Bran Cranberry Crunch with Organic unsweetend Soy milk
Snack: 1/2 cup All Bran Strawberry Bites, Green Tea
Lunch: Lean Cusine bowl, Apple, 0 cal Ice Tea
Snack: Fat Free Yogurt, Cheese String
Pre-workout snack: 1/2 a banana
Dinner: Blue menu mac n cheese, chicken breast
Bedtime snack: protein shake with soymilk
Workout:
* 45 min Cardio (TurboJam Cardio Party)
* 20 Ab routine (Turbo Abs)
After reviewing my diet, I know where I need to make some changes. I probably need more protein in the morning. I should sub the all bran for a shake. And as a side note, to crave my sweet tooth, I bought SUGAR FREE Werthers Original. Only 7 cal per candy!
*Woot Woot*
Good luck everyone!
Im so proud of you. You know what you need to do, and how to achieve it, and most importantly, you have the drive to get it. Great job! woot woot! and yes,use my protein shake idea lol hahah.
and stop analyzing calories of ice cream... makes me feel bad lol. haha
you guys thought i was bad and anal with training and diet... wait till this one gets her feet wet lol.
Daily Diet [Wed Mar 28]
Overall a good day eating and excersie wise. I think I deserve a pat on the back.
Breakfast: 1 bowl Rasin Bran Cranberry Crunch with Organic unsweetend Soy milk
*** big fan of the unsweetend soy milk. Did you know skim milk has a whopping 14g of Sugar? Compared to unsweetened soy which has 3g. It takes awhile to adjust to the taste I must admit but I LOVE it now.
Snack: 1/2 cup All Bran Strawberry Bites + green tea
Lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken with pasta entre (Ok there was a major sale, i'm going to be eating this for awhile) + diet ice tea
Snack: Protien Shake w/ 2 tsp low fat strawberry banana yogurt and 1/2 cup organic soy milk and one cheesestring (also a sale haha)
Dinner: Sub from Subway (Roasted Chicken on wheat w/ cheese, lettace, onions, and fat free honey mustard) + diet coke
Preworkout Snack: due to the lack of food in Robs fridge (which there was an abundance of EXPIRED food), I munched on some organic baby carrots...not really a meal I know..
Postworkout: Protien Shake w/ 4 tsp low fat strawberry banana yogurt and 1 cup organic soy milk (I figured I needed the carbs I was starving)
The Workout
* 35 min run on the treadmill - increase .5 every five minutes. I start at 5.0 and make it to 6.5 and stay there for 10-15 min before going back down
* 5 min on the spin bikes because I was bored (haha)
All in all a pretty good day diet/food wise. No intense cravings. I still think I need to cut the carbs during the day. The mid-day protein shake helped. And I really need to get started on the TurboJam weight program which I hope to kickstart friday.
Daily Diet [Thurs Mar 29]
So today was suppose to be my rest day (because there are usually good tv shows on today). However, I decided to drag my butt to the gym to do some circut training with everyone. I must say, sitting at home watching Ugly Betty in my pj's after dinner made me want to just lounge. Thats when I realized how cool this competition is. I told Rob that I would go and if I didn't go, I didn't want to be called out on the wall of shame. And when I got to the gym, I actually WANTED to work out.
Breakfast: 1 bowl Rasin Bran Cranberry Crunch with Organic unsweetend Soy milk (man its always the same - i'm addicted)
Snack: 1/2 cup All Bran Strawberry Bites
Lunch: Subway (Roasted Chicken on wheat w/ cheese, lettace, onions, and fat free honey mustard) + diet ice tea
Snack: Protein Shake with soy + cheesestring
Dinner: Blue Menu mac n cheese with 1/2 can of tuna + a small bowl of campbells tomato soup because my stomach was still growling an hour later
Preworkout snack: 1/2 a banana
Postworkout: Protein shake w/ soy and 1/2 a mango blended - yum!
* note: I was quite undecided about the mango... I was going to put yogurt again to up the carbs a bit (since the protien shake only had 1g + 2g from my milk) but I rememberd my dad yelling at me about the mangos I made him buy that were turning color).
* Did I overdo it with the mango? I wasn't sure if that was too much sugar?
* Confession: I really wanted to eat the rest of the mango (other half + the seed) so I just smushed it and threw it in the garbage to avoid temptation
The Workout
* 30min Circut Training - Skipping + Jogging + Step + pain
* props to Rob for pushing me to go all out on the step near the end... I probably would've slacked if it wasn't for you
* High Five team :)
lol wth? u smushed the mango? was that really necessary?
Daily Diet [Mar 30]
Overall a pretty good day. Avoided temptation hahaha...
Breakfast: Raisin Bran Cranberry Crunch w/ soy
Snack: 1/2 cup all bran strawberry bites + cheesestring
Lunch: Lean Cuisine (chicken + pasta) and fat free yougurt
Snack: protein shake with soy
Pre-workout: 1/2 a mango. (don't worry Jen, I didn't need to squish it this time, I gave 1/2 to my sister and the seed to my dad)
Dinner: chicken breast + blue menu man n cheese
Snack: Protein Shake
So when I came home from Basils house the house smelled like baked goods. My cousin made lava brownie muffins. They looked like two-bit brownies only supersize. I picked up the plate, took a big whiff, set the plate down, grabbed a yogurt cup and my green tea, and went to bed.
*pats self on the back*
THE WORKOUT
* 20 min TurboJam Cardio
* 40min TurboSculpt weight routine
(I actually found this really fun and painfull at the same time. Oh the squats *tear*)
DAILY DIET [Mar 31]
The non-workout day.
Its good to have a break. Cause my throat is killing me. Thats why I brought my own tea bags in my bag today. *stupid con rob and bas!!!*
Breakfast: Raisin Bran w/ soy + fat free peach yogurt
Lunch: Tim HOrtons Ham and Cheddar cheese sandwich on whole wheat w/ lettace and honey mustard + diet coke
Dinner: Swiss Chalet - quarter Chicken dinner with rice NO BUN
* it was white rice booooo and quite a large portion. But I didn't feel too bad about it because I didn't really eat a lot during the day.
* Confession: Con's brownies smelled reaaaaaaaaaalllly good
Snack: protein shake w/ skim milk + some carrot sticks (my stomach was growling) and lots and lost of green tea
Overall it wasn't a bad day considering I ate out for lunch and dinner. Talked everyone out of going to Montanas or Kelseys to go to Swiss Chalet. I just figured that there were healthier options at Swiss Chalet than the others. Cause if we went to Kelseys - just too much temptation. Hey, I'm not THAT strong. I wish I was able to fit in more meals though. But its hard when you wake up late and are out with friends all day.. you kind of can't eat. Maybe I should carry a healthy snack in my bag at all times... but what??
I feel quite proud that I havn't had a cheat meal since Jen's bday where I ate Phad Thai. *gives self another pat* I'm glad when people ask me to eat bad I can say NO. And they just shake their head. But I'm really trying to make a consious effort. And I'm quite proud of it.
:)

Daily Diet [Tues Apr 3]
So wathcing the Pussycat Dolls and seeing all these skinny girls really REALLY makes me wanna lose the stomach flab. Had an awesome workout today. I think I'm even more motivated now to tone up then before and I really don't want to cheat AT ALL for the next while.

* 20 min TurboAbs
All in all a pretty good day. I noticed a big difference in adding more protein in my diet in the mornings. I wasn't even hungry for the most part. Might consider eating a extra small bowl and cereal and a shake or eating eggs more often...
Daily Diet [Wed Apr 4th]
Overall a pretty good diet/workout day considering I trading in working out for Stars on Ice woohoo! I'm also seriously considering giving up my Rasin Bran Cranberry Crunch cereal in the morning. Its just way to hig in sugar (18g) and carbs (37) per 3/4 cup. I think I may trade it in for Honey Nut Cheerios (also whole grain) which only has 10g of sugar and 24g of carb per 3/4 cup. I'm thinking of increasing protein in the morning (more eggs, add a shake) and sometimes having honey nut cheerios cause I just CANNOT give up cereal.
Breakfast: 1/2 protein shake w/ soy + 1 piece WW texas toast + 1 egg and 1 egg white microwaved! (its bland but ok with a little pepper)
Snack: 1/2 cup all bran strawberry bites + green tea
Lunch: Lean Cusine chicken pasta + diet coke + grapes
Snack: Protein Shake w/ soy
Dinner: Chicken Stirfry (chicken breast/red onions/yellow pepper/brocolli) + brown rice
* I think my portions were a little large in this meal
Snack: protein shake w/ soy + 3 tablespoons of strawberry fat free yogurt
The Workout
* 20 min run on the tredmill (pretty intensive - stayed at 5.5 for 5 min and than ran between 6.0 and 6.5 for the remainder
* 15 min run on the tredmill (I was in my two minute cooldown because the plan was to go on the eliptical for a bit and they were all empty and then BAM! Instantly full. What the heck. So I just ran for another 15 min instead.
I'm quite proud that I'm building my endurance with running back. I was running pretty fast today. I actually did a 7.0 sprint in the end. Second day in a row that I felt like my lungs were going to burst. But it feels so good to push yourself.
Daily Diet [Thurs Apr 5]
Breakfast: 1/2 protein shake w/ soy + 3 tbsp of fat free strawberry yogurt + 1 egg + 1 egg white on whole wheat toast (texas)

The Workout
* NONE - Went to see Stars on Ice so I'm going to work out on Sat booooo
Damn you Air Canada Center! I was surrounded by temptation. Friggin people eating cotton candy, popcorn, pizza pizza, ice cream. Friggin bastards. And damn emil eating his monster sized Pralines and Cream ice cream cone and taunting me with it! First time in a few weeks that I was actually tempted like crazzzzy. But no worries I prevailed! Havn't cheated since Jen's bday. But Easter weekend is coming up with means family Buffet :S

The Workout
* 35min run on the tredmil. I did an incline from 5.0 - 6.5 and back down

I'm quite pissed at the rate I'm going throug Soy milk. Its pretty expensive (4 bucks) and I bought a carton on Monday night and its Wed night and its COMPLETLY finished. I know I drink approx 2-3 shakes a day... And I know my sister steals some. But it's really starting to piss me off! And people keep eating my yougurt and cold cuts. What the hell. And no one replaces anything. It makes me quite mad that tommorow morning I will have to make my shake with skim milk (gross) or water *shudder. Plus, I have to rethink my snack at work for tommorow b/c I just can't put milk or water in my shakes. Once you go soy you can never go back. I swear!
I think you should make me a snack for everytime we go to the gym together...that is just a suggestion...ok girlfriend your doing wicked...YOU'RE NUMBER 1!!!!!! Hopefully your emotions are good!!!

Super intensive workout. I was sweatin' like a mofo. I used 5lbs weights for the whole 40 min. Given that I'm super weak it was quite the challenge for me. I'm really liking the weight routine with TurboJam. Makes it kinda fun.

Snack: Turkey Bacon Club (WW) from Timmy's w. honey mustard + few spoons of chilli + a few more bites of a WW bun
* err.. I think this was too much carbs at the end of the night. The sandwich should have been good enough so I shouldn't have taken a few bites of the bun from Rob's Chilli. I usually have a shake but I wasn't at home.
My 1 apple doesn't really count as a meal ahaha. My stomach was growling all damn day for some reason.
The Workout
* 45 min TurboJam Cardio Party
* 20 TurboAbs
I find that working this workout in the morning is SO HARD. I have to push myself so much because I have 0 energy. I usually do this workout after work (When i've had at least 4 meals in me as opposed to one). But all in all, I good week and good diet.
Oh yea. Last meal on Fri APr 13th was a bowl of chicken noodle soup from Swiss Chalet. I didn't have a shake :)
Whoops!
Daily Diet [Sunday April 15th]
Breakfast: Protein Shake w/ soy + fat free strawberry yogurt
Lunch: Mr/Greek chicken pita (1 stick) on WW w/ Taziki + lettace + onions
Snack: assorted crackers and cheese + bowl of strawberries/blueberries/raspberries
err.. not the best meal. But I was at Rob's family party and didn't eat the food there. And it was time to eat and I couldn't eat ice-cream like everyone else! I could have cut back on the cheese and crackers though...it was in front of me... bad excuse, bad habit.
Dinner: BBQ Chicken Pizza 2 slices - homemade with WW crust, chicken breast, red pepper, onion, partly skimmed mozz cheese, tomato sauce and Blue Menu BBQ sauce

Daily Diet [Mon Apr 16th]
Breakfast: 1 slice WW Texas Toast + 1 Kraft Single light and a protien shake with soy
Snack: all bran strawberry bites + green tea
Lunch: 1 Lean Cuisine (Chicken Pasta) + 1 apple + deit coke
Snack: Protein shake with soy
Preworkout snack: 1 slimdown bar
I bought this because I was sooo hungry. Numbers weren't bad. It was a honey oat bar 150 cal 2g fat, 15g protein, 15g carbs (but only 1g sugar)
Dinner: Chicken Stirfry on Brown rice (chicken breats, frozen veggies, Blue Menu Spicy Peanut Satay sauce)
This sauce is so friggin awesome. 2 tbsp is 50Cal and low in carbs and its soooo yummy. Great way to flavour chicken. I also bought Uncle Ben's brown rice that you put in the microwave and its ready in 2 min. Super easy, tasted ok, but a little pricy. You guys might want to consider this if you are pressed for time.
Snack: 125ml protein pudding (homemade!). It tastes SOOOO good. So here's an idea. But Jello instant pudding (Fat free-sugar free). Only 8carbs per serving but 0g sugar and 0g fat. Add soy milk to keep carbs down and add protein powder. I added 2 scoops and made 4 servings. Therefore each pudding cup was equivalent to a shake I normally had and SO TASTY!
The Workout
*Cardio Class: Cardio Pump and Crunch
Did Step for 20min (So difficult, I was huffing and puffing) and then abs, free weights, body bar and elastic bands for 40min

Snack: protein pudding (homemade) + few sips of a protein shake with soy
The Workout
* TurboJam Cardio Party - 45min
* 20min TurboAbs
I'm loving the TurboJam workout. I love the way my body is losing fat and gaining muscle. I'm starting to see major changes and I'm feeling good about it! I love how I'm cooking more. I love how I'm reading labels in order to learn more about what I'm putting in my food (and what I should leave out). I love the fact that I'm actually having FUN working out, cooking healthy, and staying active! Who else is enjoying this program??

Daily Diet [Thurs April 19th]
Breakfast: 1 protein shake w/ soy + fat free strawberry yougurt + 1 WW Texas Toast with 1 slick Kraft Single light
Snack: Protein pudding (homemade)
Lunch: Chicken Stirfry (on WW pasta)
Snack: Protein Shake w/ soy + handful AllBran Strawberry Bites
Dinner: Chicken Stirfry (on WW pasta)
Snack: Protein Shake w/ soy + fat free strawberry yogurt
The Workout
* 30min CIRCUT! (Skipping/Running/Step/Walking)
Who else found running the hardest part? Rob is right - when you sprint and stop sprint and stop, it totally wears you out
* 10 min run on tredmil (at 5.5)
Legs were pretty much sore from the circut. Had 10ish minutes to kill, so I thought I'd run for a bit to burn the extra 100 cal
I'm really enjoying how I'm having so much protein in my diet. Protein pudding is a BIG plus.
Try it people!
How am i finding it?
I like low carb days because i stay 'skinny' since my body can't retain any water.
Is it hard?
no. keep in mind, it's only been day 2. and i will be cycling my diet between low carb, mod carb, hi carb. so it's every so often i restrict myself. plus i get my carbs in after my workout. so its not a whole day w/o carbs.
What does it accomplish?
It's a good means to eat up excess fat. Your body always needs an nrg source. The primary source is carbs (stored as glycogen + water). w/o carbs, ur glycogen sources are depleted, water is dropped (why i look skinnier that day) and your body starts to use up its next preferred nrg source - fat. But u have to be careful, cause after that, the next preferred nrg source is protein.
Should you do it?
to shock ur body every so often, sure. of course you and i are at different levels. if anything do what rob wants to do. throw in a low carb day every so often to shock ur system.
Sorry if that one part got too technical. Hope this helps.
is the protein pudding prorx cause its prettymuch as thick as pudding
hahhahahahahah. no its different and better tasting, but pro rx would suffice lol
ps... jen sounds like me lol hahah. loser lol
Daily Diet [Friday April 20]
Breakfast: 1 WW Texas Toast + 1 egg + 2 whites + 2 slices on ham
Snack: Protein Pudding (homemade) + handful AllBran Strawberry Bites
Lunch: Blue Menu Chicken Pasta
Snack: Protein Shake with soy
Preworkout Snack: Slimdown Bar (only 1g Sugar but 15g protein 15g carbs)
Dinner: Blue Menu Chicken Tikka on Basmati + 1 apple
I'm really liking the frozen entres considering that it really makes you aware or portion control and fat/carb intake etc. The Blue Menu frozen entre's are really good depending on which ones you pick. This one is a bit high ion carbs (45g) but it was postworkout and it was basmati rice which is better for you than white. Its low in fat but calories are usually under 300 which may make you hungry quicker. I reccommend eating it with a piece of fruit.
Snack: Protein shake with soy
The Workout
*40 min TurboSculpt - weights
*20 min TurboAbs
Daily Diet [Sat April 21]
Breakfast: 1 piece WW Texas Toast + 1 egg + 1 white + 2 slices ham
Lunch: turkey bacon club on WW from Timmy's
Dinner: Wedding - see Wall of Shame + 3 carb/fat blockers
The Workout
* 20min TurboJam workout
I was super pressed for time. The plan was to run outside but my Mom made me drive her and my grandma around all morning. The wedding was at 1 leaving me with so little time to even work out and shower and fix my hair. I squeezed in a small 20min workout of TurboJam (more like 15min if you take away the warm up and cool down - SO UNFULFILLING!!!). Then it was off the shower and get ready. Was doing wedding stuff all day.
Eerr.. not the best diet and eating overall. But it was expected, cause I was going to a wedding. Sundays workout will make up for Sat (running + bbal practice).
Daily Diet [Sunday April 22]
Breakfast: 1 WW toast + 2 eggs + few spoons of fat free Blueberry yougurt
Lunch: bowl of BM Kraft Dinner with Tuna + diet coke
Snack: 1 protein shake with a mini mango + crystal light
Dinner: @ Montanas - 1/4 chicken + 1/2 potato w. salt and pepper + fresh veggies + pepsi
The Workout
* 1/2hr run outside - I don't know how long the run was... I think I ran more than 5km since we ran for 20min and I opted to add 10min more. I did better than I thought I would, considering this was my first run outside since the cancer run. But it was way too hot!
* 2.5hr of baseball - totally exhausting!
Did a lot of cardio today. And from the looks of it... didn't eat enough meals :S
Daily Diet [Monday April 23rd]
Breakfast: 1 Protein Shake w. a mini mango + 1 WW Texas Tast + 1 slice Kraft Single light

The Wrokout
* Cardio Pump and Crunch Cardio Class - Cardio, Body Bar workout, resistance bands, crazy squats and butt moves :)
Did the class with Mara and Jen, awesome work ladies! Had a great time! We were all sweating like crazy. Me and Mara were laughing so hard doing the resistance band workout because we were in so much pain! I like how much the instructor pushed us. Crazy woman haha! Weekly ritual indeed :)
i heard bout your pants that is spectacular!!!...lol keep up the good work and stay fit and keep on having fun my friend!!!
Hey lady,
Yes I was aware that conrad's comment was from body break. I just found it random and thus hilarious.
As for the protein powder thing...Its just for that particular day more than 50% of my meals and perhaps calories were from protein powder. Is it bad? Not necessarily. Apparently it just makes u gassy. I don't think i encountered that side effect. So my reasoning? It's just a protein source. It's not like actual food where i could be getting in other nutrients/vitamins as well.
Ya dig?
lol.
Daily Diet [Tues April 24th]
Breakfast: 2 omega eggs + 1 WW toast + 1 kraft single light + few spoons of Astro Zero Blueberry Yogurt
Snack: Protein Pudding that leaked into my lunch bag!! + handful Allbran Bites
Lunch: BM frozen Dinner (Chicken Schewazn) + 1 apple + diet coke
These BM frozen dinners are so yummy! I little bit small, the one I ate was only 200cal and pretty decent protein/carb portions. Plus low fat. And I like the flavours what what I've tried so far. + 1 apple
Snack: Protein shake w. soy + couple AllBran Bites
Dinner: WW pasta + red pepper + red onion + chicken breast + Ragu sauce (mmm!) + 2 jumbo Strawberry
(These strawberries from Longos are on steroids! They are Huge!)
Snack: blueberry protein shake
The Workout:
* 45min TurboJam Cardio Party
* 20min TurboAbs
I dunno, I was super sore - both from baseball on Sunday and the cardio class on monday. I could barely do my cardio workout with the intensity that I wanted because my arms were too sore and I couldn't punch properly! So it pissed me off a bit. And my Abs were killing so I couldn't do the Abs workout that well.
I've been working out straight since Monday last week.. I need a rest day soon. I'm sore all over booooooooo. I think I'll go light at the gym tonight. Maybe a light jog...*shrugs*
OH - and I've found the secret to making the perfectly think protein pudding. Make the pudding first and then add the protein powder! See you make the pudding first, mix it for 2 min, let it stand for 3min, then stir in the protein powder. Don't mix the protein with the jello mix together. It just turns soupy!
not dig "IT". just dig. goshums *shaking head*.
and there was no need for that gas comment either.
its wholegrain and wild rice actually. i have the brown rice too. im gonna try it later today possibly.
i dunno why pudding is so difficult for u and robert. *shaking head again*. lol
see you at the gym later.
Daily Diet [Wed April 26th]
Breakfast: 1 FibrePlus Eggo Waffle + 2 Tbsp Sugar Free Syrup + 2 eggs + few spoons of AstroZero Buleberry yogurt

Dinner: 1 Michalina's lifestlye (Chicken Primavera)
Snack: 1 blueberry protein shake + 2 slices of ham
The Workout
Uhh.. extreme cardio day! It wasn't the plan trust me.
* 1.5 hours of baseball practice
I don't really consider this much of a workout since I didn't even break out a sweat. But I was somewhat moving aroung, working on my throwing/catching, hitting practice, and jogging on the spot (I was cold!)
* 40min run on the tredmill
I thought I would go light since I was sore all over but I ran a really decent run. Stayed between 5.5 to 6.5 (peak at 7.5 at one point) for the majority of my run
* 8min walk on the tredmill (incline @ 5) Err.. I was gossiping with Mara
* 10min on Elliptical Err.. gossiping with Mara again
Overall a good cardio day. A little too long but gossiping and walking doesn't really feel like excercise to me.
I find that my endurance is getting a lot better. When I was running at 5.5 for 10minutes I was barely sweating. Maybe I should start high (6.0+) or add an incline? Something to consider...
I really enjoyed the eggo waffle in the morning. It felt like dessert. Its quite yummy plus it has fibre. The sugar free syrup (ed smith) is quite watery but only 10cal per tbsp and 2g of sugar. Its a nice treat in the morning.

This was GIRL NIGHT - the night of birthday cake and endless snacking. I HAD NONE!!!!! I'm so proud of myself. Coming straight from dinner, I must say that I wasn't craving the pizza or lumpia at all (and my car was smelling like lumpia too!). I think the bday cake is what make my mouth ache for cake! But in the end I just kept thinking - NO WAY. And I drank my shake and munched on my apple and yogurt for the rest of the night. I got my six meals in but when you go to bed at 3.. I guess I should have brought more food. Hence my stomach grumbling like mad all night. The green tea did NOT help.
Overall super proud that I didn't cheat and that I wasn't craving the junk food. *high five mara* :)

*also ate 1 cheesestring inbetween my snack and dinner cause I didn't get to eat until more than 4 hours later.
Snack: Protein shake with soy + 2 slices of ham
The Workout
OFFDAY *whoop whoop*
I could have went to bball practice but working out 12 days straight, I just really wanted a BREAK. So I did :)
I loved the trip to the mall. I didn't notice how damn LOOSE my jeans are. I friggin need a belt. They keep saggin on me! I had lots of fun shopping around with everyone trying on stuff. Liking how my shoulders and arms are starting to look more muscular *yay turboSculpt* and woohoo squeezed into a XS at Urban. Double whoop!
Glad to see that everyone is doing so well. I don't know how much I've lost in a month, but Rob weighed my and I came in arround 121-122lbs. That means I gained MUSCLE!!!!!! So exciting! And the fact that my clothes are looser means that woohoo, I'm losing fat.
I'm loving this program, glad to see everyone is happy with their results. Keep up the good work everyone!
:)
A look back onto my goals:
1.) BE CONSISTENT
Overall I've done a really good job with this. The ultimate goal was to workout 4-5 times a week. Since I've started this competition, I've done 6 days each week. I've also varied my workout between, cardio classes, the gym, and TurboJam
2.) I want to eat as well as I can...I am going to try to eat well everyday and find alternatives when people around me cheat.
Done and Done. I'm very surprised with my lack of cheating. I'm glad that I can go to girl nights and not pig out but bring my own snacks. I'm also glad I can persuade people from going to unhealthy restaurants and go to better places.
3.) I want to gain my endurance with running back
I have accomplished this goal. Starting out, the running was quite difficult (huffing and puffing). Now I can do a moderate pace and not break a sweat. I can run outside now and run long distances with no problem. If I do have a new goal with running, it would be to keep at it (esp running outside) and get faster (ie. cut down my run times while running long distances). I don't have an ideal goal yet in terms of time b/c I need to still get use to running outside before I can accuratly time myself.
4.) I want to flatten my tummy
Its getting there!
5.) I need to eat more protein so I need to find a way to cut the carbs *tear
I'm glad to say I've definetly upped the protein (I try to have 3 shakes/protein pudding a day). I've also cut off the sugary cereals, vanilla soy (its unsweetend now), and practically all white carbs (except if its post workout).
6.) I want to stay fit and active even after this competition is done.
I'm in the workout zone. And I need to look good for Sauble AND the cruise. So I don't think I will fall off this program after 3 months.
Workout Goals:
* running on the treadmill (endurance) - check
* elliptical on slower pace workout days - check
* jogging outside when warmer - check
* cardio classes - check
* TurboJam!!! (inc. the weight program and ab routine) - check
So far, I've been consistent with all of my workout goals. My workout week usually goes like this:
* Mon - cardio/weight class 1hr
* Tues - 45min TurboJam Cardio Party + 20min Cardio Abs
* Wed - Cardio on Tredmil/Elliptical 30-45min
* Thurs - Circuit with the Team
* Fri - Turba Sculpt 40min + 20min Abs
* Sat - usually rest day
* Sun - varies (sometimes bball practice, running outside, or going to the gym
I like my workout routine so far. I'm getting results and I'm super proud. I'm going to try to add in ONE more weight day. Possibly Wed before the gym. That way I get Wed and Fri weights + the weights I do in the class on Monday = 3 days.
As for Diet, I like what I'm seeing so I'm not changing anything. I will try to keep being innovative with my meal choices, finding new ways to make healthier meals.
Daily Diet [Sun April 27th]
Breakfast: 1 WW eggo waffle + 2 tbsp of sugar free syrup + 1 protein shake w. soy
Lunch: 2 WW dinner rolls + homemade lean chicken burgers + honey mustard, onions, lettace, kraft single light
Snack: 1 cheddar cheesestring + 1 apple + 1 kraft single light
Dinner: 1 WW dinner roll + homemade chicken burger + small scoop of WW pasta
Snack: few strawberries + protein shake w. soy
The Workout
* Ran outside - approx 7.3km
took me around 38 minutes. I didn't have a watch on me so I tried to add up all the songs that I listened to during my run, so my time is probably a bit off.
For those who are interested, I mapped out the route on my car (well from what I could anyways).
- Valley's parking lot to first stop sign in front of Dominion = 1km
- Dominion Stop Sign to Thronhill elementary school = 1 km
- Thronhill to the park beside Metro is 1km
- Park by Metro till Bloor street approx 0.6 km
If you run there and back its a good 7km+ for those interested in long distance runs.
Since it was a nice day, this is the route I ran, from the Valley, all the way down Mississauga Valley Blvd to Bloor and back. Took my quite awhile, the distance wasn't the problem, I wasn't tired at all (which surprised me), and it wasn't too hot. My ankle was just hurting (probably not use to the long distance outdoor running) but all in due time. Running outside at long distances excites me. I found this run harder on the ankles then the Erindale run cause it was all sun all sidewalk. At least erindale has soft dirt paths and forrest.
Here's another tip for all. Homemade lean chicken burgers - SO EASY SO YUMMY! I take no credit in making it, my Dad did. But I asked him how ne did it. Just buy a pack of lean chicken or turkey mince. Add spices to flavor, and then add an egg to make it stick together. Add WW bread crumbs to the top, glaze egg white on top to make the breadcrumbs stick and pan fry in either olive oil or pam. If you guys have time time, you can make a few patties and its a good source of protein and low in fat!
excellent job mary. ure intensity throughout this whole program is definitely motivation for all.
u're doing awesome. keep up the good work. which im sure u will. so no worries there.
*WHOOP*!

Lunch: 2 WW dinner rolls with sliced turkey cold cuts + 1 kraft single light + honey mustard + Nestea Zero
Snack: 1 Slimdown Bar + red grapes
Dinner: 1 Multigrain Tilipia + 1 small square of salmon + 1 WW dinner roll
Snack: 3 slices turkey breast
The Workout
* Cardio Class - Cardio Pump and Crunch 1hour - free weights, sliding disc things, areobics, abs, resistance bands
Allright people I was bursting with Omega today! Overall, I liked my meals. I had a lot of protein for breakfast but my stomach started growling after 2 hours! Maybe cause i'm working out more I should eat more?? Cause I'm sitting here typing and I usually eat my next meal at 12 but 11 came along and *growl* - Therefore, am I eating enough for breakfast?
I liked my dinner. The Multigrain Tilipia has a lot of fat (11g - but all good fats) and a lot of carbs (20g but 5g fibre no sugar) with 19g of protein. Thats why I decided to have a salmon square (only 90cal) for the added Protein and I ate it with a dinner roll. Needless to say, I was BURSTING WITH OMEGA and poly/mono saturates or whatever.
I had a late dinner (8:30ish) and was therefore so stuffed I technically missed my last meal. (Three cold cuts don't count I know!). Plus I went to bed at 10:30 cause I was so tired, so I ate the cold cuts while making my lunch and missed my 11:30 shake. Booo...
Ok so Mara and I were talking about the cardio class next week. Its step and then weights. But the next class (7:30) is the ball class. We are debating doing the two classed in a row... we talked to our instructor and she told us we can do it no problem (but she's also cardio crazy sooo I dunno...) any takers? Jen??

The Workout
* 45min TurboJam Cardio Party
* 20min Turbo Abs
* 1min with my Mom's super hula hoop
So my Mom has this working out hula hoop. Its this big hoop with ball things all around it. Meant to 'tone your abs' - anyways I tried it for fun. I could hula for 1 minute without stopping. Only problem was that it felt like someone was jabbing me in the stomach. It hurt so much I think I'm going to get bruises. And I don't think it works either!
Gonna start my Wed TurboJam weights tommorow. And possibly meet at the gym later at night.. ohh double workout :S

Overall good diet and workout day. I'm getting toned toned toned and lovin it!
So I tried WW couscous for the first time. Interesting taste but too many carbs per serving hence the 3 tbsp only.

6-10min @ 5.5
11-15min @ 6.0
16-20min @ 6.5
21-25min @ 7.0
26-30min @ 7.5
For some reason I was feeling quite stong today, hence all the heavy resistance. Overally, I had an intensice workout. I really felt like my legs were getting stronger. I think its from all the squats and leg lifts I'm doing with the TurboSculpt program. I could definetly feel the difference during my run (which is what prompted me to keep increasing the speed). And I definetly noticed it in the elliptical. Usually I start at 5 resistence and 10 crossramp. But today, it felt too easy so I ended up doing 10R and 15C the whole 15min - and I felt STRONG.
Or maybe it was the Preworkout AllBran snack giving me energy...
no im 100% sure ur getting alot stronger as well as building ur endurance! good job!

The Workout
REST DAY
Did a small bit of excercise considering I slept in but still made it to bball practice.
Lots of healthy food at the BBQ but I have a really bad tendancy to eat whatevers in front of me. I know that I avoided all the chips, pies, cookies *pats self on back* -- but I think I may have eaten too much fruit and veggies. Healthy I know, but all in moderation. Should have just stuck with a small cup of fruit, few veggies. But when you pick at it, you don't really consider that you may be over eating.
BTW, StoneyCreek bread has WAY too many CARBS. Hence the 1 slice only. Been thinking of trying the Weight Watchers bread... anyone tried it yet? Also on a random note, LIGHT cheese has 5g protein vs. FAT FREE which only has 4g. Interesting...
Daily Diet [Sunday May 6th]

The Workout
* 7.2km run - 45min
* 2 Softball Games
So yea, did the same run as I did last week (Valleys parking lot, all along Mississauga Valley Blvd to Bloor street and back). It took me about 5min longer then it did last week. I didn't think it was going to be as cold as it was. Hence, I ran in my shorts and sweatshirt. I found that this was a big difference. I was quite cold during my run (hands freezing, hardly sweating). I think I run best in hot hot weather (its what I'm use to). Also, the wind was pretty crazy and I was running against it which I think slowed me down more than the cold weather. A bit disapointed with my time but glad I did the run again. I think I might make it my weekly Sunday morning ritual -- anyone care to join?

15 min cardio on the Step (totally leaves your breathless), body bar, free weights, resistance bands, and various arm/chest/ab excercises using the step
Boo to you all who missed the class! I know it wasn't your fault. Had fun doing the class with Louroz though. He's a funny one. I think we should do the 2 classes next week cause he did that! And I told him we would try his class ince we tried his. And its back to kickboxing next week (boooo - step is way funner).
Tried sugar free jam for the first time. ED Smith Strawberry. Only 10cal per tbsp and 2g carbs. Not bad tasting. Just not as fruity and more watery. But overall, I think I will start using the Jam sometimes and take a break from the kraft singles (cause I'm getting bored of it in the morning).

I'm glad I still got to workout cause I was going to take it as my rest day and workout Sat instead. But I decided that with Atlantic City coming up (with possible cheats and 3 straight days of not working out) that I better step up the effort.
Oh yea, Buffet = postwork!
A really bad postworkout meal but still! haha

Breakfast: 1 protein shake + 1 WW Eggo Waffle w. sugar free syrup + fat free yogurt

* Ran outside from the Valley's down Miss Valley Blvd to Bloor, down Bloor to Central and back to the Valley's -- I really should measure out this run. I'm thinking its 5ish km but I really want to know for sure. Plus, I wasn't watching the time at all. Considering buying a cheap timex watch to use for running.
* 2 Softball games (woohoo 1-1!)
I had an awful protein shake in the morning. Why Gourmet's Artic Frappichino. YUCK! It tasted like coffee. For some reason I thought that it would just taste better.
Ran with my sister this morning. She slowed me down (cause I didn't want to get her lost) but she did better then I expected. Plus I didn't want to push myself - 8 days straight of working out and going straight till Friday.
I really want to start doing the Erindale run again since the weather is getting so much nicer.

For some reason I found it REALLY HARD to do my workout today. Maybe cause my house was so hot and I was dripping like a for the whole hour. But I felt really tired and totally lacked energy. Maybe it was cause I've been working out so hard without a break or maybe it was the fact that I really didn't eat a meal between lunch and dinner? Well I had the cereal but that didn't give me energy!!
Only 3 more workout days before freedom! Been working out hard, adding more weights, playing bbal with no breaks. I really think my body deserves the 3 days off (because of Atlantic City wooo!).
I decided to eat less BM Kraft Dinner. Ususally I can eat 1/2 the box. But I found that if I split my half in two, I'm still satisfied after I eat.
Oh yea, and I need new breakfast ideas. Getting tired of eggs.
Ohhh see, I don't drink POP at all. And I only drink ICE TEA when we're out eating, but i haven't had ice tea in awhile. I only chug on green tea, water & milk. Mostly watever & green tea.
Yesss, thanks for calling me.
see you at the gym tonight.
I can't miss anymore days. :S

Here are my workouts from Wed - Sat
Wed: 40min Turbo Sculpt + 25min run outside

Countdown to Sauble: New Workout Plan
Its nearing the end of our program and I decided that I need to step it out a bit. Not making any drastic changes since I eat well and workout hard. But my main goal is to add one more day of weights and the increase the amount of weight I use to challenge my body.
Monday: 1hr class with the girls.
I'm keeping this the way it is because i like how we do a little bit of everything (weights, resistance, cardio). I get a great 1hr workout, and thats good enought for me.
Tuesday: 45min CardioParty + 20min Abs
- leaving this the same as well. TurboJam still is a killer cardio workout for me, plus I'm not bored of it yet. Unless JenG lets me do HipHop Abs with her :)
Wed: 40min TurboSculpt with 7lbs weights. (Up from 5lbs - its such a challenge for me) + 30min of some type of cardio
- running outside, weather permitting, or gym with the team
Thurs: gym with the team (possible circut) or running outside, weather permitting
Friday: 40min TurboSculpt w. 7lbs weights + either 20min cardio or 20min abs
Sat: rest day
Sunday: weights @ the gym
Upper/Lower body supersets + 30min cardio (inside or outside) + baseball
I'm really finding that weights (and adding weight) to my program is whats making me see the major changes in my body. Doing weights at the gym with Robert today (Sunday), I was stronger then I thought! Need to work on doing the squat properly though. Weights as the gym, I admit, is not as fun as doing it at home. I don't like people watching me for some reason...
Jen - you're my inspiration
woot wooooooooot!

Jen, it was so hard this week.
Thanks for making me laugh. When you fell over *slaps knee* oh man...
Astoria is so great. A bit expensive but you totally get your money's worth. The portion sizes here are waaaaaaaaay to big. But I found that if you pick out exactly what you want to eat and push the rest away to take home, you get a healthy meal and you don't overeat! I got the small chicken skewer (which is quite large) so I ate like 3/4 of it. Then I selected 3 small potato portions and Rob took the rest home.
Yes the end is in sight! I'm super proud of everyone. We've been doing so great and we've all been working so hard. Keep up all the good work!
lol anytime my friend...anytime. *wink and gun*
Yoooo.
I will be running outside today later on with Bas & Diana. But I also want to do weights, so maybe I'll go and grab my weights from Rob's right after work. and do weights first at Bas' then start walking to goetz then running on the tracks. Come if you want, it'll be fun!
Good job with the class double!
We are trying BOOT CAMP next sunday, ok? (Read my blog!)
Peter is coming, I can feel it!

The class was ok. I found that I wasn't sweating as much either. Cause I do like the Cardio Pump and Crunch a lot better as well. But it was a lot of jumping around. And now my calves hurt! I'm up for trying the Bootcamp on Sunday too! 10:15 is it?
HIGH FIVE TEAM :D
As for running today I will see. Gonna do 40min of weights at home, pick Rob up from the gym, and I think he needs to do weights at the Valley's so I might just do my cardio there. But I'll let you know.
You know what? I have a magic Bullet. I've had one for, I dunno, a few months now when they went on sale at Canadian Tire for $49.99. And it's still in the box :S
I keep using my crappy hand blender that sounds like its going to break at any minute. I think I use it cause cleaning it is easier then cleaning the big blender. And I'm too lazy also to pull the Magic Bullet out of the box haha.
BTW has anyone tried the Special K chocolate delight cereal? I know you eat Speical K Mara, but I think you eat the plain one? I saw it at Longos for $2.99 and I think I will go back and buy a box of that and the box of fruit and yogurt cereal. I'm tired of eggs in the morning.
I've tried the Special K chocolate delight cereal, but I'm not really into chocolates. (Just twix and Chocolate covered almonds.) It's not bad, I do love Special K with Almonds. Yummmmmmmmmm. I also tried the Special K with bits of strawberries in it as well. It all depends on what you like, right?
I'll see you all at the gym tonight. Are we doing circuit? I'm going to the gym early though cause I want to start my work out early and go to bed early. I am soooo tired from work all this week. Plus RUNS HOUSE is on tonight! ;)

Friggin hard to do the weights today with the 7lbs weights. I was sore from the past few days of working out and my body was aching bad. But I did the whole thing and today (Thurs) I'm SO DAMN SORE, esp my arms. But its all worth it. Really starting to notice definition in my arms and shoulders and legs too.
WHOOP WHOOP!
I've now tried the Special K cereal with Chocolate. It tastes better plaing then with milk. But I don't think that I will buy it again cause the cereal makes you crave a chocolate bar. Tries the Fruit and Yogurt cereal this morning (Thrus) waaaay better. I don't like the Vanilla Almond cerela Mara. I Find that is too sweet and the almonds taste like candy. If anything I like the Strawberry one. But don't you find that when you reach the end of the box, theres no strawberries left? Haha

Ran from Aristia to Tompkin and back. High five Rob and Lou! It was a hard run b/c it was so damn humid. Gross sticky weather :S. I'm not a fan of this route b/c there are too many stoplights. It ruins the flow of the run when you're stopping at the lights all the time!
Special K's yogurt and berries are SOOO GOOD :D Better then chocolate delight!
Seriously considering carb cycling. Like high carb on my weight days and low to moderate on the others... Need to decide by Sunday.

The Workout
* 40min TurboJam Cardio Party

So hard to do this workout out low carb. I felt that I was dying out at the end. Or maybe cause the AC wasn't on in my house yet and I was sweating like craaaaaaaaazy.
Yay, class tommorow (TMC - Total Muscle Conditioning)!

The Workout
* 1hr TMC (Total Muscle Conditioning) - a whole hour of weights on the ball. Friggin jokes! I kept rolling away ahahah. It was quite hard cause I've never done any work on the ball before even though I have one at home! But it was quite a challenge doing some of the moves. Had to use the 5lbs weights for the whole routine. Found some parts ok and some parts really hard. Gonna work up to the 7lbs - think I can do it.
I like my TurboJam weight program better, but I think that I will at least go to this class for the next few weeks to change up my rountine a bit. I think weights on the ball for 1hr will benefit me. I'll still do Turbo weights on fridays at home with my 7lbs.
So yes Mara I will keep going with you. And where is everyone.
Heyyyy you!
I know you're prolly wondering what happened last night. I'll explain later.
I hope you guys didn't think that I was last because I was clearly NOT last! I was always ahead of Jay V. Even with the few stops I made due to Bas. Whenever I'd looked back, I couldn't see him. So I'd stop. Then run again and always up ahead of Jay V. Once I reached the vallies, I told Jay V. to just keep going and tell you guys that I reached that point because I had to run back and see where Bas was. Then towards the end, something happened and it just totally blew me off. =)
I just wanted to get that point cleared out! hahahaha. That I wasn't last!
Anyway, I'm off to the zoo today.
I'm so tired, was up 'til like 2am.
have a wonderful day, it's Friday!
