So the eating's been totally the same. Apparently, that's how it's going to be for now. Eating well until I get home from work and then binge on whatever.
I am also doing lower impact exercises cuz both legs still hurt, especially my calf and I don't want to completely knock myself out of working out.
Tues WO: I was going to PC but when I got there the only spots left were at the very front and we had a sub. I wasn't feeling it so I just did machines. 30m ET, 30m cybex, 30m on stair cllimber (like a treadmill with steps-different from a stair stepper!) new machine.
Wed WO: 6am RIPPED, 835am ab blast, 9am RIPPED, 945am gentle yoga.
Thurs WO: 915 interval

The Little (or Big) engine that could....
That's what I'm trying to be at least. I'm feeling very discouraged. Last week I basically doubled my workouts and ate well except when I got home. About 80-85% clean. So I think that a big loss, at least 5lb or more isn't too much to ask. So I did the weigh in yesterday and lost 2.2lbs. REALLY? I'm busting my butt for 2.2lbs?
Then I thought I'll take measurements. It's been exactly 9 months since I've started tracking my weight and trying to be healthy. I can compare them and maybe that will make me feel better. Not really. So here it is:
9/26/11..................................................................6/25/12...................................Loss/Gain
wt: 265.4...............................................................237.8......................................-27.6
neck: 16.0.............................................................15.5........................................-0.5
chest: 45.5.............................................................43.0........................................-2.5
armL: 20.25..........................................................19.0........................................-1.25
armR: 20.75......................................................... 19.5........................................-1.25
waist: 46.25...........................................................43.0........................................-3.25
hips : 51.25..........................................................47.75.......................................-3.50
thighL: 32.25.........................................................32.75.......................................+0.5
thighR: 31.75.........................................................32.25.......................................+0.5
L.belly:54.75..........................................................50.5........................................-4.25
So on the surface it looks pretty good, right? But not really bc you have to think 9 MONTHS! If I had lost only 4lbs a month/1 lb a week I would have been at 36lbs lost and if at 2lbs a week that would have been 72lbs. Sickening. At 2lbs, COMPLETELY DOABLE WITHOUT STRAINING, I would have been at 193.4. Under 200lbs, I don't remember when the last time that was and so close to being under 190. ON top of which I gained in my thighs. After 9 months really? I know it's good...I could have stayed the same, gained wt, blah, blah, blah. But really the air is totally deflated out of my balloon.
I will say to my own credit I did soldier on.....here's my stats for yesterday. Not perfect but it is what it is.
MON: ate fantastic until home and then went crazy. I had some chips and italian bread and white rice.
WO: I did 6am RIPPED (45m), 835 ab blast (20m), 9am RIPPED(40m), 945am gentle yoga (75m)
TUE: will update later.

Birthday Weekend
I did alright. It could have been a lot worse.
SAT: I didi turbokick at 8am and then went to work.
BF: watermelon, peach, flax seed and bean powder smoothie (coconut milk)
LC: "fried rice" brown rice/barley mix, broccoli, carrot, egg, and shrimp used Pam spray and 1 T sesame oil and 5 T of soy sauce(which is bad but could've been worse)
SN1: 4 oz fresh mozarella
DR: 8 oz mozarella/8 oz ham
SN2: 4 oz mozarella/8oz ham and handful of gummi bears (sent from Johanna for bday)
Not the best but it could've been a lot worse.
SUN: no workout bc I worked 10hrs and am really tired (5am-3pm) but I've really been up since 4am.
Food was pretty good until I got home. I think I'm just going to write this day off for my bday. I get one day right? I'm trying for a perfect week tomorrow. My calf muscle on my left leg hurt when I do any type of jumping though. I might have to do low intensity. Then my right leg is a weird sore. Old age I guess, I'm going to keep doing the yoga and use the icy hot.

FRI Food
BF: Smoothie made with mango, pineapple, cocnut milk, bean powder and flax seed.
LC: 2 c of miso soup, 1c brown rice/barley mix and 10 shrimp, 1 apple
DR: 3 c salad (romaine, toms, cukes), 20 shrimp (1cup), 2T french dressing, and apple
SN1: Red Bull Sugar Free and 6 peices of big red gum (60cal together)
SN2: 1.5 celery stalk with 1.5 T of PB and 14 raisins, 3 carrots with 1/4c jalapeno dip (reg sour cream and mayo)
SN3: 2 sandwiches made with whole wheat sandwich thins, 5 pieces of deli turkey and 2 pieces of deli swiss with mustard.
10 cups water
This is a really good day for me. But I definately could improve. I ate the gum...it was sugar free, the jalapeno dip was full fat (gone now tho), and the french dressing was full fat. But I don't want my cals to go too low bc I don't want my body to think it's starving and today was a really heavy workout day.
Tomorrow, I'm going to see if I can eat super clean.

Tearin' it up Friday!!
Yeah, I'm awesome! Especially considering this morning I was really contemplating skipping class. But I got my butt up and did the 6am RIPPED. Then went back and did ab blast class from 835-855am, Core Interval 9-955, and Fit yoga 10-1055am.
Go Cheryl! It's your birthday! Woot, Woot! Anyways, started great and will have a good rest of the day until I get home. That's the test what will I eat? I'm hoping momentum will carry me through the rest of the day.
I'm doing good on my eating so far too. Will post food blog when I get home.
I'm working tomorrow...on my bday...cuz hot weather sucks and I need AC in my car. If I worked 3rd shift it wouldn't be so bad but at 2 in the afternoon it's brutal. I need $$. Blah!

Discombobulated Thurs
Workout for today: 545-6am ET (more like a warmup), 6-7am PC, and 915-1030 Fit Yoga. We had a substitute for PC and she was ok. She did a lot of pilates/big ball things which isn't my thing. It's good for the body to get variety I guess. But the regular instructor is hardcore. Then the 915 Interval class was cancelled and I really didn't feel like doing a machine, so I went to fit yoga instead. I did sweat again not like the regular class but I liked it.
But today wasn't a real hard workout day....I think that the universe might be looking out for me. Some time in the last couple of days my right leg has been really sore. Almost painful but not quite...I think that the easier classes, especially the yoga helped out. So I should be ready to kick butt tomorrow.
I 'll do my food log tonight when I get home.

WED Food Post
Ok I went to an interval class for my second workout. Apparently the regular instructor is in Texas with her husband until Aug. We had a substitute and she was ok. I think they're having rotating instructors, so I'll keep going to see what others are doing. On to the food: I'm thinking og putting the different foods in the sparkpeople tracker to see how many cal each of this stuff is but that will have to wait for another day.
BF: smoothie made with coconut milk, bean powder, strawberries, mango and watermelon.
LC: egg white omelet with mushrooms, toms, jalapeno, chicken bacon and feta cheese. Whole grain oatmeal. and 2 slices of watermelon.
SN1: small salad with romaine lettuce, toms, cukes, and imitiation crab meat. 2 carrots and half cup of cukes with ranch dip (lite sour cream) and protein shake
SN2: Lg salad with romaine lettuce, toms,cukes and imitation crab meat. between both salads I had 2T of regular french dressing.
DR: 2 bowls of miso soup with 1.5c of barley/brown rice mix. 18 medium boiled shrimp (they fit in a 1c bowl).
At east 10c of water, probably lots more! It was hot as heck today and my car has NO AIR. Crap another thing to add to the money sucking list!

6/17-6/20 +W/I
Yea! you're back!!
WI is 240.0....I don't know? I keep going up and down the same 5lbs. That's up 2.2lbs....but it was aunt flo week. We'll see next week.
My new diet strategy is gong with the healthy flow of whatever I feel. If I feel like only veggies for 2-3 days then fine, if I feel low carb for couple day fine, and so on and so on.
So my strategy of the moment (since MON) is healthy eating-no white stuff (flour, sugar, carbs). And try to stay mostly with seafood, occasional poultry. I think I might go to ATL with Pam and Em at the end of July and I'm trying to get right. So I decided I was going to at least 2 classes everyday. How am I doing so far...
MON: Diet I did excellent until I came home. For about an hour, I ate not so good stuff. Not terrible bc it was like dairy and 1 piece of Mary Jane candy and 1 hershey kiss but I can't keep doing that. But on Exercise I did excellent did the 6am RIPPED class and the 9am RIPPED class. The same teacher teaches it and she even joked in the 6am class "if you guys have time come join me for 9 o'clock RIPPED and 12 o'clock powercut."She kinda chuckled and I was hehehe....little do you know, you will be seeing me.
TUES: Diet same as MON, except no candy. Lots of dairy, and a reuben sand, a bite of stroganoff. Exercise excellent again: 6am Powercut, 30 min on ET, then another 15 min before my 915 Interval class. The second 15 min wasn't on purpose. I forgot the class started at 915 so I got there at a quarter til, didn't wan't to "waste" time sitting so I just hopped on the ET for 15.
WED: So far so good. I'm thinking I'll blog every bite of food that I put in my mouth today and that will keep me on the straight and narrow. I'll have to write stuff down and when I get home put it in a separate blog. Also, got the first workout over..RIPPED. It was especially tough today she changed up the acronym...it was like ERPIPD. Tough! I'm going on line to see what the other Y's have at 9am bc I don't like the cardio kickboxing class this Y offers at 9. Soo, off I go. More later tonight.

6/12-6/16
So on Tues, I did no workout and no food. It was one of those days where I was super tired.
On Wed, I went to RIPPED. I got up at like 430 (wide awake up) and was like "oh , hell no!" I tried to go back to sleep but sleepy time came around 530 and I just got up. If I stayed in bed I would have done nothing again.
Thurs, nada on food and working out.
Fri, I overslept and didn't get up until 615. I was ticked! Really, I was in the mood for some RIPPED and didn't want to do another class. Also no other RIPPED classes are offered during the times I could go.
Sat..I'm getting ready to go to turbokick 8am. Then I go to work at 10 am. Also, today is Mav's 4th Birthday!! Holy cow!! It's been 4 years since the little thang arrived!

6/5-6/11 +WI
Last week I worked out 4 days: M=RIPPED, T=PCC, F=RIPPED, SA=Turbokick. I've been eating whatever. Fastfood like McD and Chick fila. I'm in at 237.8 which is +2.2lbs. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
I did workout today, RIPPED this morning. I think I'm going back to low carbs until my birthday. And I'm going to TRY to only eat seafood and eggs as my protein with occasional poultry. BF this morning was 2 egg omelet with mushrooms, jalapenos, green onions and salsa + peach. If I have a carb it's only 1-2 servings and it's going to be in the morning before noon. What counts as carbs for me will be healthy grains and fruit.
Blah....I hate this but what other choice do I have. I haven't heard from you so I hope everything is okay.
