Did not go hogwild! :D

Sunday, May 27, 2012

So I did have kind of a splurgey dinner also - we ate out and I got a pesto tortellini and split a grilled portabella (w/ cheese) and had a couple bites of spumoni... and some candy.

But really and truly, it wasn't as bad as my pre-tracking focus time.

But I didn't track, so I'm off format. I did weigh this morning

193 - for a dinner out the night before, not bad at all! I would expect an uptick even if just from sodium.

Haven't eaten much today yet, a marathon bar (210 cal) and an orange (80ish?) and a little bit of candy (grapefruit slices, do you guys know those?) but that's about it. Going to go out to eat w/ my marathoner pal, but will "not go hogwild" again. That is my goal. :) To be reasonable and mindful!

Another Solid Day!

Saturday, May 26, 2012

I'm feeling the soreness in the side glutes from my lunges on Thursday still - glad I did them!

Yesterday was a good day, and I decided for the sake of simplicity on the blog I'm blogging every morning about yesterday, but I weigh-in in the morning, so I'll blog about yesterday but the weight will be from today. Maybe that's confusing but I think it's kinda better because I'm blogging about the day and then the weighin is kind of the immediate result of that day. For loss, it won't matter much, but I'll see if something is causing the scale to fluctuate up, too.

I went to the local marathon's expo and was able to pick up some headbands and two singlets for a good deal! :)

NUTRITION:
Tcal - 1520
Carbs 187, Protein 92, Fat 52 (more protein, same fat and less carbs than yesterday)
Sugar - 2 ice pops (17 cal each, but pure refined sutgar)
Water - ???? What's wrong with me tracking this???? hhahaa

FITNESS:
4.2 mile run w/ Roscoe - 12athon Towel Day challenge

HOW I FELT:
Good!

WEIGHT:
192.5

CHANGES FOR TODAY:
Today will be VERY busy - and I will be going out for a couple of food related things. I will splurge on an ice cream cone at the chocolate factory, but my goal is for that to be my only splurge today and to keep everything else on track!

Stuck Stuck Stuck - but good day!

Friday, May 25, 2012

I was home even more than usual yesterday, and I didn't overeat! WOOHOO! :)

But the scale is just sticking... I know, the day before yesterday I went nutso on the sweets, but still... oh yeah. Next week is TOM, too. I usually get stuck/higher on the week before TOM I noticed in the past... ok so I stick to my guns through TOM and if I don't come out the other side with at least a little shift, I will be frustrated, but until then, I'm NOT ALLOWED TO GET FRUSTRATED!!!! :)


NUTRITION:
Tcal - 1589
Carbs 223, Protein 94, Fat 46 (more protein, less fat and carbs than other days!)
Sugar - 2 ice pops (17 cal each, but pure refined sutgar)
Water - I didn't ever figure it out specifically, but I know I got at least 64oz.

FITNESS:
Short run w/ Roscoe, and I did my ST!

HOW I FELT:
Other than a little stir crazy at times, good!

WEIGHT:
191.5 (today back to 192)

CHANGES FOR TODAY:
Great day yesterday. Track water finally!

Wednesday Food Madness

Thursday, May 24, 2012

So.... here's the deal. My DH had a really bad day at work. He stopped on the way home at a local deli and brought home sweet goodies for both of us. I ate them.

I did also have a little conversation with him later that it would help me a lot if he didn't do that in the future, that I thought it was reallyreally sweet and they were super delicious, but that I'm trying to get my diet back to the way it was before. He asked if it would have hurt my feelings had he got some for himself and not for me.

I said, "No" and I really meant it!!!! I would have been fine if he had just got the goodies for himself. Maybe I would have asked for a bite... that would have been more manageable calorically speaking as well... but in any case. My mind frame is really changing that now I only want the goodies when it's a splurge and/or I can fit them in my calories.

I'm still newly on this wagon train, and because I tracked everything, I am not going to beat myself up about it. I consciously made the decision to go ahead and eat and enjoy the goodies, KNOWING full well it would bring me over. Now my challenge is to try to keep in check this weekend with the marathon going on and going out to eat with my friend who is coming into town to run it. I know I can do it!!! If I don't stay within range, I KNOW I can not go "HOG WILD" - I'm feeling better eating reasonably and more healthy and I'm getting that good feeling back of being on track and I am not ready to let it go.

NUTRITION:
Tcal - 2720
Carbs 350 (WOAH), Protein 97, Fat 109 (woah!) (ew)
Sugar - marathon minis, chocolate cake w/ PB frosting, whoopie pie (woah)
Water - I didn't ever figure it out specifically, but I know I got at least 64oz.

FITNESS:
7 miles in the AM!!! :) I got in my run, all at once, early in the morning! It felt GREAT!

HOW I FELT:
Except for the blowup at night, I felt really great yesterday.

WEIGHT:
190 - maybe low fluctuation

CHANGES FOR TODAY:
NO CRAZY GOODIE SPLURGES!!! Today is a shorter run and ST day.

Tuesday Summary!

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

NUTRITION:
Tcal - 1803
Carbs 260, Protein 81, Fat 56 (less fat/more carbs than day before)
Sugar - marshmallow fluff, soda flavor ice pop, marathon bars? (I guess I need to count those, too)
Water - No clue... I did drink water! But I didn't track.

FITNESS:
1.7 miles w/ Roscoe, running, STRENGTH TRAINING! Did it!

HOW I FELT:
Pretty good - I got really hungry around 5:30 and ate a full size protein marathon bar and some minis - that was my dinner. Then after my meetings I got hungry and resisted for a long time, but decided ok I'll have some popcorn. So I went "over" but still below my sedentary RMR rate estimate of at least 1900, so I figure that is ok. I'm still going to track everyday and try to come closer to 1580 which is the max of my SparkPeople Range, but if I go over I'm trying to stay less than 1900. That way I can be a little more flexible.

WEIGHT:
192

CHANGES FOR TODAY:
Got up and did my 7 miler first thing in the morning, doing laundry today, chilling out. :) I had a great day yesterday so no real memos for today other than trying to remember/track how much water I drink... I've had one full green bottle and one full handheld amphipod so far... I need to figure out what my amphipod holds...
