08willbegreat's Journal, 26 March 2008

Today has been relatively better. Didn't work out in the morning, but planned to do so after work. Breakfast was usual; no problem stopping for lunch, and snacked on a pear. Did drink water on and off--probably not as much--but the total must have added to 2L--so I should be ok.

Had quite a bit of work today, but managed to zip along and tackle task after task, and even got out at about 5.45 pm or so. Came home and went to work out for 30 mins. walking/running on treadmill (230K, 4 short sprint-intervals; rest was walking at about 3.2-3.8 speed).

It was getting late for dinner, so I decided to go back up and have dinner and then go back later to do free weights and get my laundry going simultaneously--so that's still on the agenda right after I finish writing my journal here. Meanwhile, dinner was good--made a boboli-crust pizza with lots of veggies and a spinach + orange salad (with more veggies). I'll have to find a good recipe to make home-made pizza that's no high on calories--this one was ok--not like a real pizza from a pizzaria!! (Probably coz I used fat-free kraft cheese that didn't melt as well, and the veggies could have used [pre-grilling or sauteeing before throwing them on the crust).

okie-dokie, that's the gist of the day...weight's been relatively stable, but can't really expect much seeing that I haven't been working out as much lately. Hopefully tonight's weight-session will help (after I do it, ofcourse!)

Meals for the days:
Breakfast: the usual go lean cereal with skim milk (3)
snacks: 2 cups coffee with cream (2)
1 pear (1)
Lunch: previously-cooked bean curd with veggies (4.5)
Dinner: 1/2 small boboli pizza with sauce, fat free cheese (4.5 total), and veggies (red pepper, yellow pepper, hot pepper, portobello mushroom, onion, squash)
Salad: spinach, orange pieces and orange juice as dressing, remaining veggies from the pizza above, croutons (1), walnuts (2)

Total points: 17 pts so far

Will update after my weight-session

update: 10.46 pm: free weights for 30 minutes: done! :
Bicep arm curls 3 sets, shoulders lateral raise 3 sets, upright row 3 sets, upright press 3 sets (this was hard!!), Triceps bench dip 3 sets (too easy--don't think I'm doing this right!), legs squats 1 set, split squats/lunges 1 set.

Sounds like you are cruising along as usual! I use whole wheat tortillas for my pizza crust and because I'm not wasting big points on a thick crust, I can afford to use part-skim mozza. And I bake it on a pizza stone so the tortilla crisps up nice and it tastes like a normal thin crust pizza! Keep up the great effort!

Hey, what do you do - you always sound like you have so much to do! Great job on the workout today!

Once again, it definetly sounds like you are getting the hang of this! Go back and read your journals - taking the time to plan, cook, and eat healthy meals wasn't this effortless just a short time ago, let alone fitting in an awesome cardio AND weights workout, balancing your hectic work schedule and laundry/life. You are in the groove!!!!! That's all that matters. Weight is just a number, it'll catch up with you sooner or later, but building the healthy habits and making it all happen eaiser is what it is all about. YAY! P.S. Thanks for the heads-up on chick-pea bloat! It made me feel so much better. It's easy to say weight is just a number, but it is another thing entirely when your OWN scale is creeping upwards :D hahaha Keep up the great work! Your food sounds delectable as usual -- dare I say that all the vitamins/antioxidents are working their magic and fueling your day to give you the energy and clearheadedness (is that a word?!) to accomplish so much in the workplace and make time for cooking, working out and domestic chores? There I've said it. Fitness gives you more energy too. It's a healthy 'vicious' cycle that will end up giving you the weight loss you want. Let's just assume that you are gaining muscle and losing fat, k? Do you typically gain muscle tone relatively eaisily, like the suposed mesomorphic body type? Don't give up! You are doing SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO well :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

That sounds like a great day all in all - good work!! I have a couple of reasonably low-cal pizza recipes in my Cookbook if you'd like to take a look. My favourite is the Pesto Mayo Pizza, which is DIVINE!! Finely grating gruyere makes a little bit of cheese go a long way and it has a great flavour too! GO TRAILBLAZERS!!!
