6.11.11

I am SORE this morning! Shin splints are so awesome :P

Yesterday I forgot all my fruit I bought for the weekend at the office so sometime today I'm gonna have to get it just haven't quite made it to getting ready today. I've been lazy.. Mainly because of getting woken at 4:45 am by the dogs. Then when I finally feel myself getting tired at 6, that's when bb boy decides he needs to start yelling for me. Usually I would probably let him sit in there and play/talk for a little while but with it being 6 am, I didn't want anyone else waking up too.

I have yet to take a nap and as soon as hubby gets home from work we're heading to Odessa so I'm feeling it's going to be a long, irritating day. On the upside I get to see my dad and stepmom today. I haven't seen them since Christmas so I'm pretty excited. Going to be on my best behavior tonight to make up for last night though. Eating out is always a favorite a mine, which is one of the reasons I'm over weight to begin with. So hopefully I won't go back to my past mistakes and order the worst thing I can possibly get. I have a eating out guide from Michael Thurmond's 6 week body make over so I'm going to be taking it with me to get hints on what to get, wherever it is we are going.

Met My Goals

Protein My Goal – 60-129 Today – 79

• You know that protein is an essential nutrient, and you're doing a great job of meeting your body's needs!

Carbohydrates My Goal – 165-239 Today – 166

• Carbohydrates provide your muscles and your mind with energy. You're eating the right amount to fuel both!

Went Over My Goals

Fat My Goal – 33-57 Today – 65

• While some dietary fat is essential for good health, too much fat—especially the wrong kinds—can increase your risk of lifestyle diseases and weight problems.
• Eat at home. Restaurant food is notoriously high in calories and fat. Often a single meal away from home can contain more than a day's worth of fat. Limit your dining out, or use these tips to make the best choices away from home.

Calories My Goal – 1220-1570 Today – 1621

• Eating too many calories can lead to weight problems, which can increase your risk of several lifestyle diseases.
• Eat from a smaller bowl or plate. When a small amount of food rests on a big plate, you feel deprived and want to eat more. Slim down your tableware and you'll feel more satisfied!

6.10.11

Well, I decided against walking last night. By the time I dragged myself off the computer it was already after 10 and pitch dark outside. So instead, I decided to wake up at the butt crack of dawn and walk.

It's not like it's a change though, I'm usually up at 5 it's just that I'm usually spending my time doing what I really love...reading. And this morning I wasn't able to at all. On the plus side though, I have TONS of energy. I finished walking at 6 and I turned on the music and just danced.. I don't think I've had that much energy in 3 months. Glad to see it again.

I did pretty good throughout the day but went off the path at supper. Potato encrusted cod and macaroni & cheese. The cod was only 230 calories but I went a little crazy with the macaroni. oops, oh well. ;)

No more exercise for me tonight. My shins are already hurting me from my walk this morning so I'm gonna head to bed early.

Good night!

Spark Your Way to a 5K

Today I've started a new challenge on Spark People called Spark Your Way to a 5K. I'm doing the rookie program for walking because I KNOW that If I try to run a 5K that I'll probably pass out. I've taken a break on the whole dieting things lately but I'm ready to get back on. I haven't gained any but I also haven't lost any and I'm horribly out of shape. 

New goal for this time around is just 10 lbs gone by August 15, 2011. It's doable.. lets just see if I'll actually do it ;) 

Today I did pretty good. Went under on my carbs but considering I have hardly anything healthy in my kitchen, and we ate out tonight, I still didn't go over my limit. I'm about to head out for my first 15 minutes of walking. I was considering the treadmill but I'm tired of staying in the house. Plus when everyone else is already sleeping the treadmill seems incredibly loud in our itty bitty house.  

I'm very optimistic this time around. I'm tired of always being tired and there is this weird thing going on with my heels. I'm thinking it's from the pressure of my weight being on my feet that make my heels hurt constantly. Anytime I walk it feels like I have hundreds of needles shoved into my bone. First thing in the morning it's about 10x as worse. This is the reason why my first goal is 10lbs. This way if I get some weight off and the pressure/hurt goes away, I know what the problem is and I can continue to fix it. If not, atleast I've lost something and look better ;) 

I'm going to quit yapping and go do my walk.

Until next time,

Steph
