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.

Workout – Kick boxing class. Intervals of push ups and sit ups, burpies and lunges. I heard about an awesome boot camp class today.

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.

Workout – I am on a role…3 plus miles 160 push ups. STILL no sit ups though, maybe tonight.

Breakfast – Protein shake, only drank about 1/4 of it. Was still drinking it for lunch, smh.

Lunch – like mentioned above, protein shake. About 1.5 ounces maybe 2 of tuna right after my work out. I rarely mention this but I always feed my muscles with protein after a vigorous work out. I believe its very important. BUT you must be careful with just eating anything after working out. NO carbs, sugar or fiber!

Dinner – Cheesecake Bistro…my home girl had a gift certificate, LOL. I ate a Caesar with grilled shrimp, dressing on the side and used oil and vinegar instead of the fattening creamy dressing! We shared spinach dip and chips. Long Island Ice Tea!!!

Still waiting on myself to do these 200 sit ups!! Bare with me while I bare with myself.

Workout – Zumba class. Late like I usually am and was not feeling it today but did the best I could!! By the way, those 200 sit ups did not happen yet. Still working on that. I am a step closer because I am actually remembering that I didn’t do them, before I never even thought about them!

Breakfast – Protein shake…they have been hard to get down lately. Going to switch to chocolate for a while soon.
