ETA:  Bowl full of mush for breakfast (oatmeal, plain yogurt/greek yogurt, smashed banana)

Strength train legs with the BF

Snack

Turkey sandwich on whole wheat flat with half avocado and greek yogurt (yoplait honey yogurt is highly disappointing.  I will stick with dannon, or make my own.)

Carrots

40 minutes elliptical as L was begging to go hang out at gym daycare.   Okay!

Carrots

Whole wheat bread-- 4 oz of bbq pork, romaine lettuce with some croutons. 

Jamaica_Bride

Rock on!!!

Breakfast: Mush and a hard boiled egg white, green tea

snack: greek yogurt ( you NEED to try Chobani greek yogurt) and fruit water water water

Lunch: wheat noodle bowl w/ veggies and chicken ( oh and this was a lunch meeting at a restaurant, I could have ordered anything!!)

snack: raw almonds

Dinner: STARVING TODAY broccoli and a chicken breast

 

I don't think I ate enough today- I need to go shopping and grab more raw veggies and fruit!!!

Jodi&Joe

Egg white omelet with veggies and shredded cheddar

2 boneless BBQ ribs from last night and an apple w/peanut butter

steak tips (2), yellow squash and a salad w/1/4 cup candied pecans, chopped carrots/peppers/onions, lt balsamic dressing

I feel like my dinner portion was much better tonight than previous nights.  Not by design - I was just full and the steak was a bit dry tonight.   

I'm VERY tempted to have a bowl of ice cream w/whipped cream on it.  I'm holding out though, for two reasons -- weight and the last 4 times I have had ice cream, I've wanted to DIE from the pain!

And how did you do sexy momma?!  R9'er AWESOME job on adding in the leg training and cardio!  You go girl!

(BTW, I'm digging these check ups as well. I normally feel "pressured" by check-ins but not this one.  I like!)

Jamaica_Bride

I fricken LOVE these check ins! I totally trust and love both of you so I feel safe posting to the 2 of you (and all of you who a snooping in this post )

 

I'm going to measure myself tomorrow morning and NOT replace the batteries in my scale. The scale makes me neurotic!!

 

Rock it Robyn- I wish I had time to work out!!!!! (said as I sit on the couch)

Jodi&Joe

I need to 1. drink more water and 2. get raw almonds and 3.  get some yogurt!  I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow so I can get 2 and 3.  I suck at #1! 

I could be on my treadmill right now.  Or elliptical.  But I'm not. I'm ok with that though.  FOR NOW!  That WILL change though!

I have starting scheduling gym time, just like I schedule a client.    Thank GOD for a flexible schedule.   I'm doing cardio 4-6x weekly, and strength 3-4.   1 day of rest (and usually that day we do a lot of walking because of hunting, or something... :P )

I need to add in an ab work out at some point, but I can get motivated enough.

I see my bestie in 17 days, so maybe I should start that ab work out, like, now!


What are you plans for tomorrow?    I know that I need to plan in advance so I don't screw it up.

I'm going to make corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot for supper, sandwich for lunch, mush for breakfast.   Have an apple on my desk for a snack.   

Exercise will be c25k and arms.  Bench press will be my biatch!

Jamaica_Bride

Jodi- Just think about the changes we ARE making!! I think the three of us deserve a HUGE pat on our backs. We're making changes, awesome changes.

I am proud of you girls and of myself!

I swear- this clean eating has helped my mood and my disposition a TON. I feel really mint!

(as Shawn just offers me cookies out of the oven, that BASTARD!!!!!!!)

Jodi&Joe

Seriously, I'm going to come kick that guy'sASS if he doesn't stop taunting you with ice cream and cookies!!!  SERIOUSLY!  Kick.his.ass!

I do agree that we are making great changes.  We rock! 

It never feels like enough to me though....and I'm trying to change that mentality but it's hard. 

Truthfully, I'm not FEELING much better mentally.  At all.   I'm still exhausted.  And psychotic.  BUT, I do have my period right now so that is probably causing the fatigue.  I'll see how I feel in a week.

Jodi, I am just starting to feel better.  I started taking zoloft about 10 days ago, and met with a therapist for the first time on Monday.    

I'm noticing in little moments that I am not as angry and irritable as I have been.   Exercise, eating better, meds, therapy--- Something is changing.  And I.like.it!

I'm not happy with where I was a month ago.  I'm the only one that can change that.   The ways I have tried before weren't working, so it is time to try something new (hence-- gym membership and therapy)

Jodi&Joe

Funny because I've been the opposite.  I've been SOOO angry with Joe the last 2-3 weeks.  And these are normally things that I let slide.  I thought that once I got my period, I would be better but I've had it for 3 days now and there is no relief (for him) in sight.  Last night I was ok with him but then went right back to wanting to scratch his eyes out tonight. 

Just the things he says are annoying the crap out of me.

But I'm wondering if this isn't all connected somehow -- and that's a whole other post in and of itself! LOL
