Day 10-30 Day Challenge

Breakfast-
None, I could not get my eyes open this morning so Max and I had to rush around!
Lunch-
1/2 Cup Rice-125 Cal
Enchiladas-445 Cal
Salsa-20 Cal

1/2 Cup Ice Cream-190 Cal
Total Calories-1740
within 1200-1400 Range-NO, BLAH! I am going to up my calorie goal to 1400-1600. The more I looked at calc's for what I should be eating the more I realized I was aiming too low...thanks to Yen for helping me settle on 1400-1600. Since the average person underestimates calories it is good for me to aim lower in my range in case of those discrepancies. As my body changes I may have to adjust down to 1200-1400 again but for now I think 1600 is a great goal.
Exercise- Day 5, Level One of Jillian Michael 30 Day Shred
Accomplished- YES! And I am finally improving, its a small victory to do better at this but one that I needed

Accomplished- No, sad times. We had to go to church last night for a meeting so we ate after Max was in bed. I hate eating late! I know it affects my weight and it is a terrible habit...no more!
Bedtime-10:30PM
Accomplished- No again, but it was because I worked out, showered, washed my face, read and then crashed. I need to get to bed earlier though because I am tired this morning!

It's Monday (day 8) and I am not gonna let the weekend ruin my plan!
So if you have read the past two days posts you will gather that this weekend kinda sucked in the fitness/health areas. I ate too much, snacked too much, did work out but stayed up too late and did not drink enough water. BOOOOOOOO....
The point of the story is that it is Monday...a new day, a fresh start, another opportunity to make the right choices. AND it has been REALLY hard for me to be 100% honest with my bad food choices, overage in calories but I did it. I owned up to the damage and it helped. Here we go for Monday!
Food Journal
Breakfast-
1 Cup Cheerios-94 Cal
1 Cup 2% Milk-120 Cal
Breakfast-214 Cal
Snack-
None, I got a few sips of my coffee in, got busy and it went cold so I ditched it.
Lunch-
Penne Pasta-250
Marinara with Chicken-200
2 pc Garlic Toast-160 Cal
Demi Cup Gazpacho-45 Cal
655 Calories
Popcorn-100 Cal
Dinner-

Strawberry Shortcake-150 Cal
Chips and Salsa-160 Cal
670 Calories
Water (1) After Exercise
Total Calories-1639 calories
within 1200-1400 Range-Blah Blah, I seem to keep hitting this range. Need to be much more attentive to what I put in my mouth!

Day 6 of the 30 Day Challenge
WE HAVE PROGRESS!!
I weighed in this morning for a sneaky peek ( I am officially weighing in on Sunday mornings) and I have lost 3.4 pounds this week. It was just the boost I needed to plan out todays meals and calories and to get my workout in while the Monkey is at Grammy's house...yay!
In other exciting news, I am getting a bodybugg for Mothers Day! I am super excited, it will be a great way for me to be accountable to exercise and activity, something that I struggle with that I KNOW contributes to my weight issues. The main time frame when I gained weight was after I stopped dancing 15 hours a week, I ate the same and moved a lot less and it caught up with me, quickly. If you have not heard of the body bugg you can check it out here
This is what the contestants wear on The Biggest Loser to track all calories burned...even when you are just sitting around. To lose weight it is just math (as Barb from BABES says) you have to burn more calories than you take in. The bodybugg will help me do that and know exactly how much I need to take in versus burn. It was between a Wii Fit and the Body Bugg and Rob and I both felt like the Wii Fit would become a novelty in just a few months so we went with the body bugg. And no we are not paying full price, we found it on sale and I am getting an unexpected bonus next week. Most of it will go back into savings but Rob was so sweet to be sure that I got something great for my hard work and for Mothers Day!

Day 5 of the 30 Day Challenge
Day 5 of the 30 Day Challenge
Ok, these are the days that throw me off track! NO WAY am I gonna let that happen so I have to adapt. We woke up late, and even then I could not wake up! As a result I had no breakfast and have no food with me today at work. Bad news bears.

Water (1) After Exercise
Total Calories-1549
within 1200-1400 Range-Nope, ok part of my journey is learning to be 100% accountable and honest with what I put in my mouth. Yesterday (Day 5) was not my best day. I was starving by the time we hit our dinner out and had the bulk of my daily calories in that meal. I made BETTER choices...we split the appetizer, I had a cup of gumbo, with out the sausage, I chose a grilled dinner and lighter sides and still it was a lot of calories. I didn't want to type out all that food, it was a bit embarrassing. What is more embarrassing is what I might have eaten BEFORE I started the 30 Day challenge. YIKES! So, today I did not stay in my calorie range. I splurged at dinner. I should have prepared better for the day. But this is the journey, not every day is perfect. Learning to be honest about my struggle is a HUGE part of this path that I am walking.

August 14th
It's looming. It's the day I decided to change my eating habits and lose some weight. It's the day I went to my doctor and admitted I had issues. It's the day I cried my head off about it.
So since August 14th 2008 I have lost 20 pounds. To be honest I am frustrated with lack of progress. Say I lost 25 pounds a year on average. That means I have 3 more years of weight centered living to even get where I want to be and then guess what? I have to stick with the life changes or it's all coming back baby.
I wish I had a more positive outlook on weight loss this morning. Perhaps I should re-read my own post below and remember what the Voice of Truth tells me about myself. I admit that I have some ugly voices that tell me lie after lie about weight loss and gains. I hate those voices.
I started off my morning with a new 30 day challenge to myself. I have been in a SLUMP and I need something to kick my rear into shape, literally. I will probably be focusing my blog in this direction over the next month, including daily food journaling. Anyone is welcome to help me stay accountable! Simply post a comment that says, what the heck did you do today if I have not posted yet for that current day.
Back to the grind we go!
The Monthly Challenge Rules.
1200-1400 calories per day
No snacking after 8:30PM
Bedtime 10:30PM
8 Waters a Day
Week One-Level One of the 30 Day Shred Workout
Daily Vitamin

Wish me luck, AGAIN.
Always,
Jesi
