Day 154

Workout – Off day.  With this body composition reading I do not need any off but taking a day off is actually OK.

Breakfast – chocolate protein shake shaken not blended. With the usual goodies.

Lunch – Large salad with evoo, cider vinegar and banana peppers. Baked chicken for protein. Small honey crisp apple. These are hard to find this time of year!!

Dinner – Collards and cabbage mixed, okra and  raw onions.  YUMMY.  Baked chicken, spicy. Nightcap skinny margarita.

 

Day 153

Workout – 4.5 miles at the park.  I am determined to get my body fat percentage down. Its not bad as most but this is my own personal goal. My weight is OK 136 today on the scale. But 33% body fat? Oh HELL NO, this is unacceptable.  Crazy thing is I feel lean and light as ever. BUT I am up-ing the ante but doing weight more often. Starting Tuesday after kick boxing class. I will check it in exactly 30 days.

Breakfast – Chocolate protein shake shaken not blended.  Flax, fiber, DT.

Lunch – Large green apple, Mardi Gras wings from publix.

Dinner – Collards, okra and baked chicken. 3 Hershey’s miniatures dark and roasted mixed nuts.

Lunch – Skipped it but had a small piece of chicken to hold me over.

Dinner – Met my home girl out, Six Feet Under…had the catfish appetizer bites with onion, jalapeño and fried okra. One margarita on the rocks with salt.

Dessert – roasted mixed nuts.

Day 150

Breakfast – chocolate shake, yummy!

Lunch- I skipped lunch today and had an early dinner.

Dinner – Cabbage and carrots, honey baked ham.

Dessert –  Hand full…or 2 of doritos and more ham. Yep, I messed up.  The storm had me stress eating! I also had that off limits cocktail, just a small one but one nonetheless.  I finished the night off with some nuts.  Back to the drawing board!!!!!

Day 148

I am back….picking this thing up starting today with the right posts. Dont be surpried if you see “the Lost Entries” segment again but for now let’s do this.

Workout – Kick boxing class.  My knee and hip is bothering me, go figure.  Maybe I am getting old? Nope just better.

Breakfast – I have actually had protein shakes for almost all of the missing days, mostly chocolate. Its the night time where I fall off. Oh and the cocktails. Today I had vanilla protein shake with 4 fresh strawberries.

Lunch – Cucumber, cherry tomatoes, 2 baked wing drums.

Dinner – sauteed cabbage with baby carrots. 2 baked wing drums. NO carbs! Plenty of water all day.

The Lost Entries

Ok sooooo I fell off.  But guess what…..I’m back on.  So to preserve my posts and keep my promise to myself to follow will a segment I will call “The Lost Entries”. This is how I will catch myself back up if ever I fall off again which is bound to happen in this thing called life. This will at least keep me honest!!

My last food post was April 13th, journal Day 135. I jotted down my meals on a random piece of paper what I have been eating for Days 136-147 and now have no clue where it is. Therefore, I will not post my food journal here but let’s just say I have not been as good as I would like to be.  I have been OK…OK for me is stellar for most but OK is not enough in my book so yesterday I started another mini cleanse to gain back a  little control.  14 days of clean eating, no alcohol, no junk, no snack.  Just clean whole food for the sake of what food was meant to do, nourish me! Oh and little to NO CARBS.  Not even healthy complex ones – maybe once per day at most, if that.

Sidebar: My 10th wedding anniversary is approaching and I plan to celebrate so I need to do this now! Alcohol will definitely be involved :o).

Honestly, I have had more chips, sugar, and saturated fat for a while. Truth be told, I blocked out the last 10 or so days of my life. No real reason, I am all good. Sometimes it just be like that!

What has been on point is my workout.  I tend to over compensate in one area when the other is lacking.  My meals have been bad considering but my fitness level has been UP.  I worked out hard 8 days straight during this mini hiatus.  Took 2 days off and been going ever since. Today is Kick boxing class, yesterday it was 4 miles, Saturday and Sunday a little more plus spot training like weights, ab ball, jump rope, push ups, dips to name a few.

Day 135

Workout – Kick boxing class. Intervals of push ups and sit ups, burpies and lunges. I heard about an awesome boot camp class today.  Lasts 24 minutes but is supposed to leave you wondering what the heck you just did. Think I  might try it out one day soon. Tomorrow starts me going back to Pilate’s with my homies.  Looking forward to it, been FOREVER since I have been on apparatus! I will be swinging from the rafters in no time.

Breakfast – chocolate protein shake just like yesterday.

Lunch – cucumber and carrots.  3 baked wing drums.

Dinner – Can of Amy’s southwestern veggie soup, sliced apple.
