Weigh-IN

weight for the week 185.2

I now know my weakness when it comes to eating. I do really good eating healthy and then my hubby comes homes and then i become lax. Not really eating too much on the sweets but just eating out of schedule. Hmmmm I love my husband being home but I need to be stronger about eating better for me and for him. :)

Week 1 Day 5

breakfast: smoothie, milk and cheerios

lunch: leftover oriental salad

snack: apples

dinner: salad and pizza

didn't do separate exercise because husband was off, (his first day off in a while), and i was distracted. love that man!!

Week 1 Day 4

breakfast: smoothie - radishes, carrots, celery, lettuce, banana, orange frozen lemons grapes and berries with a muffin

the girls were a bit sick this morning, i think it was the spinach it goes bad pretty fast :( had to throw it out might need to make that a special shopping trip go twice a week just to get spinach instead of the big bag at costco

snack: cheese stick

lunch: rice, salad mix, mushrooms, and green onions

dinner: oriental chicken salad without the chicken and steamed broccoli

recipe: oriental chicken salad

2 chicken breast
2 tbs sliced almonds
1/2 head of cabbage finely chopped
1 pkg ramen noodles chicken flavored uncooked
2 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
2 green onions sliced

dressing:

1/2 c vegetable oil
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp vinegar

boil chicken or cook in small amount of water in frying pan until tender. let chicken cool, then dice. combing chicken with almons, cabbage, green onions and uncooked broken up ramen noodles. sprinkle ramen chicken seasoning packet over mixture

to make dressing: in glass jar combine oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and vinegar. shakes well pour dressing over salad and toss

refrigerate salad for 2 hours or more for full flavor and softening of noodles

just realized i only put 1/4 cup of oil in the dressing, hmmmm oh well i am sure it will still taste good. i looooove green onions they make any good salad taste much much better :)

mood: the day started good but started to go downhill about afternoon as i lost my energy and became overwhelmed by life. luckily i did not snack but i probably should have in a healthy way. i have been getting headaches and i know it is because of my eating. hmmmmm what to do? i would say go to bed :) night

Week 1 Day 2 the amazing journey

breakfast: green smoothie - orange juice, water, spinach, carrots, radishes, banana, orange, frozen:grapes, berries lemons and ice

workout: biggest loser cardio max warm-up and level 1 workout

heavy movement is still a bit hard to do comfortably especially with my huge incision and my lower tummy hurting the way it is. i hope the pain goes away soon but until then i might have to do less strenuous cardio workouts. :( but any workout is better than none, as Bob would say keep moving

breakfast: half almond poppy seed muffin, little kids cup milk and tons of WATER

lunch: green smoothie, celery and almonds

dinner: taco salad - chips, pinto beans, salad mix, green onions, tomatoes, ranch and taco sauce

exercise routine

yeah!! i have a routine :) today i did some weight focusing on biceps, triceps, and i did some squats. 4 sets of twelve and wowzer that last set was a kicker but i finished it :)

i am trying to figure out the best times to exercise. doing weights and then getting in some cardio. I was kind of off balance today so tomorrow i am going to do the cardio in the morning and then weights before bed.

when do you exercise?

a new day

breakfast: granola cereal, milk and green smoothie
lunch: corn chips celery some with peanutbutter some without, and green smoothie
snack: an apple with a little bit of diced almonds
dinner: noodles, steamed veggies and some alfredo

was really tired today didnt know if it was because of my poor eating or what or maybe just because it was monday. gotta love mondays.

Weigh-IN

It has been a while since I tended to the thought of weightloss. I was in Arizona for a week and therefore wasn't as careful as I should be, oreos every night, but when I came home and did my weigh in the numbers were . . . . . . . . 187.0

So I guess all is well I didnt gain or lose. I am going to try something new that my wonderful sister in-law Kimberly put together and I look forward to it :)
