Happy Monday, all. Hope everyone had a nice weekend.
I took an extra break yesterday, I have been feeling really burnt out lately. Hopefully I'll stay on track with workouts this week. I'm still having some dread over doing them, and still not sure from where that is coming. Just tired, I suppose.
Pre: toast w/jelly Post: skinny mocha B: bagel w/PB L: leftover fried chicken; Greek yogurt w/granola; apple D: IP BBQ pork chops w/corn on the cob and hash browns
Exercise: treadmill (4 miles); Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps; Abs/Core Plus

Good weekend here for fun, not so great for food. Nothing over the top, just didn't track and drank all 3 days. We went to a seafood festival yesterday. I expected to eat a lot more than I did, but mostly ended up chasing DD2 around. lol! I got AF yesterday (as expected because I didn't mess up my BCP like last month, I know Rusty Red, can relate!) and I'm actually feeling better. I was edgy and eating poorly all day Friday. I was able to meal prep once we got back. Today's meals B: egg white oatmeal S: yogurt & fiber one cereal L: shredded chicken, sweet potatoes, salad & watermelon S: cottage cheese w/ granola, 100 call pack almonds D: chicken w/ asparagus & rice pilaf Rest day from the gym.

I posted in the motivation thread today, but thought I'd post here too, in an attempt to keep this thread alive (Rusty can't hold this place down on her own ) My call with the nutrition coach went well yesterday. I can't quite pinpoint why, but I felt better after the call - like, way better. She gave me two really good pieces of advice: one was to think outside the box on a plan for my weekends and the permission to not be "perfect" with my weekends, instead just try to get a little better. I know this logically, for some reason if I can't plan out my foods for the weekends I end up going way over board. And that's really hindering my progress. If I can just be a little better each weekend, each event that comes up, each time that "life" happens - then I can make progress. It's hard to explain but I keep getting more out of this than I thought I would.

It was raining when I woke up at 4am to go to the gym. And I WENT ANYWAY! It's going to get more & more difficult to get up and out as the weather gets worse. I find that if I have the plan to get to the gym, I will go. But if I plan to workout at home (like I wanted to yesterday), I find excuses not to. I need to get motivated to workout at home more because I may not get to the gym as much in the winter.
Today's plan B: 1 egg/3 white omellete w/ reduced fat cheese, asparagus & tomatoes, 1 slice of wheat toast w/ jam S: yogurt & fiber one cereal L: shredded chicken, sweet potato & asparagus and 1/2 orange S: cottage cheese, granola D: ? But maybe tuna salad Workout: butt, back, biceps + 3 abs circuits

Morning, everyone. I've stayed away for a few days to get my mind on track, I've been struggling lately. Still can't decide what I really want to do moving forward. But I did some major mileage in the past three days and it made me feel good, so it seemed like a good time to jump back. Eight miles Friday, four Saturday, and twelve yesterday, so I took a rest this morning. I was hoping to get a lunch walk to ease the tension in my legs, but it's raining. Hoping it lets up.
Morning Skinny Mocha B: bagel w/PB; deli turkey L: leftover turkey breast; Greek yogurt w/granola; apple D: IP spaghetti w/turkey meat sauce S: low fat chocolate mug cake w/Walden Farms chocolate syrup and chocolate PB Fit

I've been back on track since my weekend. Lots of beer, lots of food, but also lots of walking at a festival and I lifted at the gym both days.
My task this week from my dietician is to work on dinner meal plans. It's an area where I struggle. She suggested a "theme nights" like Taco Tuesday, etc. to help w/ the planning. I'm getting my 7 year old involved with the planning, which I think will help her with actually eating what I make. This week M: Italian - pasta primavera w/ shredded chicken T: Date night (we have a concert so the kids will have pizza with the sitter) W: Leftover night (the pasta) Th: Taco Thursday - Sheet pan chicken fajitas F: Seafood - grilled salmon w/ veggies
Today's plan B: egg white oatmeal S: yogurt & fiber one cereal L: skinny spinach lasagna & green beans S: deli turkey and a peach D: chicken & veggie stir fry Workout: Chest & tricep day. I usually add in calf work too, but woke up in the middle of the night with a painful Charley horse and it's still tight.

Lately I've actually found that my "special" days (Wednesday DQ day, Saturday pizza and DQ) are actually depressing me a bit. It's like, once it's over, damn, I have to wait another week. LOL
Let's be clear. I'm not giving them up. Noms.

I. Am. TIRED. Ran 14 miles yesterday and still did my workout this morning. If I want to make this RunBet, I have to run every day for the next two weeks because I have been slacking. We'll see if that actually happens. I'm not optimistic.
