Saturday's log
Woke up a little before 10 am, puttered around on this website and other sites on the internet looking for recipes and such, made my grocery list, and headed off to buy 'em. Gave myself an hour, but it took more like 2.5 hours! Fitting all that stuff in the fridge was quite the trick; had to load and unload everything a couple of times. After that I was supposed to go work out and then cook, but I don't know how/where, I got sidetracked (despite having changed into my gym gear and being all ready to go out--any minute now--now, or perhaps in 10 mins?)...10 mins. turned into more, and then I was starting to feel tired, and thought I'd take a nap (oh, my excuse was I wanted to run, but my ipod needed to be charged first)..anyhow, took a few hours' nap, and woke up to realize it was 9.45 pm! Yikes! Where'd the day go??
Anyhow, finally did manage to go downstairs at about 10.30 pm or so, and did my day 2 of c2k program--was hard, but at least I knew what to expect today...at the end of it I was really sweating, so that worked! Didn't do much else besides stretching and such. Came back home and had my protein mix, and am gonna stay up until 12.30 or so, and then be sure to wake up at 6 am!! I feel if I have the whole day, and get my work out done first thing in the morning, I'll be able to get a lot done tomorrow. Well, now I had to add today's pending stuff to tomorrow's to-do list so I'm really behind!!! Ah well, will just have to work faster, more actively, and be more efficient, and hopefully the morning workout will give me much needed energy and a mood-lift!
Meals of the day:
Brunch: Pasta salad left-overs (4), with brocolli
Snacks: lots of grazing throughout the day today
ww icecream (2)
1 large plum (1.5)
1 large banana (3)
1 tbs reduced fat peanut butter (2)with 2 stalks celery
Walnuts (2.5)
1 rice cake (1)
peanuts (2)
indian gram chana (1)
Dinner: skipped! Slept through it :)
Post-workout at 11.15 pm: protein mix with skim milk (3)
Total points: 22 points
water intake: good
Exercise: 30 mins of walk/run on C2K day 2 + stretching etc.= 40 mins total
Tonight my new plan goes into effect:
1) Sleep early (preferably by 11 pm, so I can get at leat 7 hours of sleep)
2) Wake up at 6 am, and NO MATTER WHAT work out at 6.30 am (this is my own mini-challenge for myself this week)
3) workout MORE: the c2k and alternated with other gym cardios, + daily 1 additional 30 mins. exercise--no matter what (e.g., workout DVDs, walking outdoors, ab crunches, etc.)
4)Continue to cook and eat as last week, with the following modifications,
5) be sure to have a big salad with ALL of my meals,
6) have smaller meals every two hours or so--crackers, fruits, veggies, (and others from the great list cherbru put up in minichallenge 2)
Oh! and if anyone's reading this far, THANK YOU, my AWESOME BUDDIES FOR WALKING ME THROUGH MY PLATEAU. I'd have been discouraged without the support of you guys!!
