Wednesday 9/17/08

Finally! halfway through the week! I'm making it slowly but surely!

1 cup oatmeal 2 eggs
2 oz. turkey + banana
lentils + veggies & chicken
apple + 2 tbsp pnb.
10 slices salami
pumpkin crack (threw it away finally!)
2 glasses of wine.

hmm... so looking at this, I do well during the day, but I am really hungry. I think when it comes to dinner and night I need to have as much of a plan as if it was during the day. I'm thinking of adding a V8 somewhere in there to have more veggies. maybe make soup for dinner? Chicken broth w/veggies?

Today: 45 minute unscheduled ride. dixon loop. too many stoplights! slow speed and it felt good on my legs. My legs felt a little sore and tight, I should really stretch more. but legs feeling like they're getting A LOT stronger! Feel the blood in my legs, like they're very bubbly or something.

Tuesday 9/16/08

1 cup oatmeal 2 eggs
1 banana 2 oz turkey
brown rice, veggies, pork about 3 oz.
apple + 2 tbsp pnb
lots more pumpkin crack! akk!
piece of bread w/mayo & 3 oz. chicken w/ dribble of cheese.

sigh... pumpkin is the death of me!

Weight trained in the morning. 3 sets of 15 reps.
shoulder presses
bicep curls
chest presses

squats
leg presses
hamstring curls

rode 1 hour during lunch. felt great! dixon loop, nice and slow and hardly hit any stop lights!

I would like to get an ab routine down to do every day.

Monday 9/15/08

Rest day...
B-fast oatmeal & 2 eggs
2 oz turkey & banana
chicken 4 oz. + veggies & brown rice
10 kisses :( snack sized cruch & butter finger bar

A very emotional day with Bryon leaving. I tried to resist the kisses and the chocolate and I'm glad I stopped when I did. Sigh...

Rest of week, 9/11/08-9/14/08

WOW! I can't believe where the time has gone!

I'm not totally sure about my food for the rest of last week, but I stuck to my guns for the most part. I did drink on Thursday night with Jon, drank a lot on Saturday night with him on the town as well. I'm not too proud of that, primarily because I missed my ride the next morning and my dad got very mad with me.

But workout wise I did pretty good.

Thursday: rode after work for about an hour and a half. low heart rate.
Friday: 3 sets - 15 reps each
shoulder raises - 5lbs
leg presses - 85 lbs
chest press - 20 lbs
ham strings - 55
back row - 45
thigh lifts - 55-45lbs
crunch
Saturday - saturday warm up on Univega up to Bonita. about 2 hours.
Sunday - missed Sunday. :(

*need to eliminate this. no added fats necessary. According to the Daily Plate this added over 400 calories to my diet and about 40 grams of fat. This could have been replaced with more whole grains and vegetables.
