As for my food intake, I am quite proud of myself! I have been making choices to up my protein intake and of course, choices to lower my sugar intake. I am also shooting for lowering my sodium! Lots of Tuna Whole Grain Rice, Protein Shakes, Peanut Butter (natural), Fruits, Veggies, and Low Sodium Black Beans! Not to mention, trying to get more Fiber in my diet, also!

I am still at work, so my water is increasing. I am hoping to get between 18-20 glasses of water down total (I am at 13 glasses at the time of writing this).


How did you all do today?


OH! And by the way, I started my own Instagram account for this challenge. I figured it would help me in regards to keeping my photographs and keeping my updates!

Took my Day 1 photos (front, side, and rear view). Figured I can use that to keep my updates! Anyone wanting to do the same, feel free to join me! I use Instagram with another account usually... I just made a new one for this challenge, specifically!

Um - you go to school, and work full time, and still work out for over 6 and a half hours?!?! Do you sleep? Are you Superman? I am in awe right now....

A few days a week, I only get about 4-5 hours of sleep which sucks but I make the most of it. I try for 7-8 the other days, and give myself one sleep in day (usually on my rest day - Sunday!).

I go to school from about noon until about 3... work out from about 3:30-7:30... go home, shower, make a protein shake, and head to work (10pm-6am). I eat lunch and dinner at work... and usually get in a load of cleaning and count the calories (i'm set to sedentary on here), as well as about another 40ish minutes of walking (probably more, but whatever). Home by 7... bed by 7:30 ish.

lol so that's it in a nutshell! For a while I was making the excuse that I had no time for working out, and I am trying to make my gym time more of a priority. of course, if I have a ton of schoolwork to do and I cant get it done between work/school, I will reduce my hours at the gym.... otherwise, it works! for now.

Hi all! Checking in for day two. Yesterday was great, I did a seven mile run and burned 593 calories and then did an hour of yoga (didn't wear my HRM). I ate allbut 54 calories and feel great today. I am working out with my trainer at 9:00 am and I generally burn upwards of 600 calories.

My starting weight yesterday was 129.5 (goal 123)

Have a great day!

Day 2 Successful (so far, any way! My day isn't over until 7am or so TOMORROW :X)
I woke up SORE SORE SORE from all of that weight training yesterday. But, I pushed myself to get up and make it out to the track with my dog, Dude. He and I ran/walked about 7 miles in about 2 hours. Some miles were ran, some were walked, and some were a mix of both. I pushed myself to KEEP GOING even when I was getting bored or tired. I even SPRINTED for the first time in quite some time! Woohoo! I stretched about 20 minutes and will probably stretch throughout my shift at work outside of my cleaning/walking/other duties. Hoping tomorrow isn't too bad, as it is supposed to be a weight training day. I am, however, also taking a yoga class so that I'm sure will help (and that will DEFINITELY be before lifting!!!)

as for today...

Workout:

120 minutes walking/jogging
20 minutes stretching
35 minutes walking (work walk)
120 minutes cleaning (both work and home)

Calories Burned: 1522

Food:
ate a full breakfast of eggs, toast, peanut butter, and a banana! lunch was a mixture of an after workout protein shake and 2 servings of whole wheat pasta with some tomato/basil sauce... and some parmesan cheese . dinner hasn't hit yet... but most likely I will be eating what I ate for dinner last night... whole grain rice, black beans (low sodium), lettuce, salsa, avocado (probably a whole one today).... maybe some sour cream. to snack.... tuna and triscuits! maybe an apple or two, also.



I noticed ALREADY a change in my day 2 picture, as opposed to my day 1 picture. very very slight, of course, but still a difference! It's going to be cool to watch this throughout the month! Also, it was my first day in FOREVER not stepping on a scale. This may be a long month because of that reason... :X and the soreness, as I'm not used to lifting!

mmm... not so great. too many snacks, which are my downfall. yesterday was an in and out day all day, so i never found the time to grab something proper to eat until dinner time. now dinner time I am proud of as it was all homamade, even my the pancakes!! and my kids eat everything-which is always a plus, as they can be quite picky.
anyway today seems to be going a bit better. the sun is out, and I have spent some time with the kids in the garden. I shall report back later, with hopefully, good news!!

well yesterday was not good exercise wise-though I did do alot of walking! food wise ok, again not great-lots of fatty foods but I know that when I go to my parents thats my treat for the week!

Today, I am taking my son down to his friends in a bit, then going down to my parents again so gonna bus it halfway and walk the rest. Then this evening Ill fit my weight training in.
