Oh well

Friday was a bad day. My car broke for the third day in a row and things were just not going well - not even close. I left work at noon and when MS asked me what I wanted for lunch I said, "Comfort food." We ended up at Redrossa for pizza. At least it was better pizza than Pizza Hut or something full of grease. Of course then we went to BK for supper. I had a whopper jr. and a few fries.

Saturday I had the leftover piece of apple pie I had made for Butterbar. I needed to do that anyway since I tried a different recipe. Then we went to the Pinewood Derby race for Alex (Alison's boy) and had pizza there - Valentino's this time. Then turkey and cheese slices for supper with popcorn as my treat.

It's been a rough weekend.

I'm on Phase II now, kind of. I'm not going to stress if I eat popcorn or something, but I am going to be more conscious of what I'm eating so I'm not eating it all the time. Hopefully that will help. I'll weigh in tomorrow and see what the damage did over the weekend.

On the workout side, we're still doing P90X and I'm going to try to run today. It's supposed to be 30 degrees so that will be good. Until then, I'm going to have some breakfast and start working on my running scrapbook.

Checking in

I see I forgot to post my weigh in from Monday. I was at 153.2 before working out and 153 after, so we're going with the 153. :) That's almost 5 pounds down in a week. YAY! I'm at my pre-marathon weight, which is a nice thing. Now, I just need to surpass the marathon weight (150) and get to my long-time-ago weight (140).

So week 1 of P90X is done. I love the X Stretch day. It's awesome. Yoga X kicks my ass. And I'm struggling with everything else too. But it's working. My legs are feeling more solid than they have and I'm looking forward to looking hot this summer in a bikini.

P90X

So MS and I started P90X Wednesday morning, doing the lean program, and it's kicking our asses. It's good though.

This morning was Yoga X and I really enjoyed it, what I could do. I have to work on my upward dog - that needs a lot of work, as does the balance stuff. But since it's only the first time doing this program, I'm feeling pretty good about it all. I just wish it wasn't 90 minutes. That's going to be tough to do AMs before work, but I guess I'll make it happen.

Too much

Yesterday was not a good day for food. I didn't have anything ready for breakfast so I ended up eating SF candy and a piece of string cheese. Finally I got JJ's #12 Unwich (w/o mayo) which helped. Then I snacked on some pistachios during the afternoon. But I didn't get to dinner until 8 and so I just had eggs.

Yesterday just wasn't a good day altogether. I wasn't feeling right - not sick, but not mentally there. It wasn't pleasant. I'm hoping that's going to go away.

Day four complete

It's been a good week so far. I have been enjoying some SF candy to get me through, but meals and such have been fine. Truthfully, I eat like this most of the time anyway, but often I'll have toast with my scrambled eggs in the AM or bread with my chicken at supper...or Popcorn.

MS and I started P90X on Wednesday with the Lean program and it's going well. It's tough to get up at 4:30 but it's the only time that works for both of us to workout together, and I will admit that working out together is much better. We're accountable to each other and MS can play the guilt card pretty well.

So I weighed this morning on his scale, just for kicks and I was at 152. I don't really believe his scale, plus it was after our workout, but it was nice to see that number anyway. His friend is retiring from the Navy in June so I have to get lean and toned before then in case I can go along (some schedule conflicts I have to work out first).

It's been good. This weekend will be tough when he's at work, but hopefully I can stay strong. :)

Today it begins

Alrighty, then.

So here I go! 157.8 this morning. I blame some of that on the white trash pizza and bag of white cheddar Old Dutch popcorn I had yesterday.

I'm starting off well - eggs with cheese and Crystal Lite. MS is starting Phase II today so my challenge lies ahead. But what I did was go to the grocery store and I bought my favorite low carb Breyer's ice cream so in two weeks I'll have a treat ready for me. It'll be good. :)

Can I just say...

I am very excited to get on Phase I. So much so that I think I'm going to start tomorrow. I would have started today but it's been a helluva week at work and I needed me some popcorn tonight.

But tomorrow should be a good day to get back at it the right way. I can't wait. I'm going to start with some breakfast with KG and then go from there. Yay!

Not quite there yet

I'm still sick and it's really annoying. I really want to get on Phase I by Monday and on P90X by then too.

MS has been doing really well on Phase I. He's doing great, in fact. I had called him the other day to see if he wanted to order Girl Scout cookies and he said, "No, do you want me to go off my diet?" :) And despite my reassurance that he would be off the diet and working harder than he is now (due to spring and concrete and gardening) he could burn off those extra calories, he still said no.

I'm so proud.

But I need to get crackin'. I'm not feeling fat, but I'm not feeling great either. I did lose 4 pounds (last Friday since the Saturday we got home from Hawaii). But I think that's because I was sick. :) Sometimes sickness is a good thing.

Today...a setback

This is probably a good thing though. I really need to get healthy or I won't be able to start P90X with MS.

And since he made me drink OJ the last two days, I decided to have an actual sandwich for lunch. SBK and I went to Wild Sage Grille for lunch and I had a buffalo sandwich with lettuce, tomato, pepperjack cheese, and then a tomato veggie soup until I found the mushroom and so I quit eating that.

Otherwise, I had a SB bar for breakfast, and popcorn for supper. I drank a lot of CL today and one DMD. It's been a bad day.

My intent is to start Phase I as soon as I can breathe without worrying about dripping from the nose. Hopefully the weekend. I won't feel right if I make MS stick to Phase I during the Super Bowl and I can eat anything. :(

Quick (sick) food update

Monday I was not hungry, but ate 4 egg whites, way more pistachios than are allowed, a SB phase 2 bar, and broccoli and cheese steamer. Lots of liquids - crystal lite galore. And I rested.

Tuesday I went back to work. I forgot to boil eggs so I had a SB bar for breakfast, a string cheese, JJ's #12 Unwich without mayo, a diet Mt Dew, lots of Crystal Lite again...and then i got home where MS made me drink 2 glasses of OJ (!) and we had my chicken standby with broccoli, tomato and shredded cheese.

Not doing too bad considering. I'm feeling a little better today, but forgot to boil eggs again and since I'm still sick i'm drinking another glass of OJ. Hopefully tomorrow I can get back on the SB Phase I track.

Sick

We're starting our eating plan today. MS and I went shopping last night and he had some trouble with the lack of fruit thing for two weeks (hopefully he won't overindulge in 2 weeks) and the lack of bread thing. But last night we made our meals for today, boiled eggs for breakfast, and loaded him up with Crystal Light. I need to get my own food for my apartment today.

This morning we were supposed to start P90X but as MS got up to exercise and i could barely move, though offered to come watch, he opted to curl back up in bed with me for an hour. So pictures and weigh in will come maybe Wednesday. I need to get healthy first.

But the eating plan begins! ... Once I can eat something, that is.
