What is your daily routine?

Sigh. I love to eat, so I work out a LOT

Wednesday

I also walk my dog twice daily, about 3 miles total -at least, so long as the weather doesn't prevent me from doing it.
My fitbit reports I take an average of 25,000 steps daily but it ranges from 15,000 (lots of meetings days) to 40,000 (no meetings, I can get my work done on my walkstation)

As t o Food?
I try to push about 50 carbs about 1 to 2 hours before a work out. I generally get at least 50 g fat, 100 protein and 40+ fiber daily. My sodium is under 1,000 and frequently under 500.
I always include a 'luxury' meal weekly. It's not a cheat! I plan for it. I also drink at least 1 glass of wine if not 2 or 3 per week.
I generally don't eat a lot of red meat - lots of fish, veggies, fruit, etc. Found some good snacks: Kay's Naturals, Quest Bars (170 ish calories for 20 g protein and 17 g fiber! gluten free - best combo I've found), roasted chickpeas, somersaults . . . .

If you want to chat more, friend me.

I lost 110 pounds! and I am keeping it off. My body fat is 17 - 18 %

Depending upon active my day is looking to be and when the luxury meal falls, I eat between 1,700 and 3,000 calories.

A typical day for me would be...

8am... Bowl of fruit and fibre
9am... 20 minute brisk walk to uni
.... Dont tend to have lunch normally just a go ahead bar...
3pm... 45 minutes on cross trainer OR 20 minute yoga sequence and 10 minute ab workout
5pm... Low calorie tea.. normally chicken, sweet potato mash and vegetables
9pm... would normally get a bit peckish and have another go ahead bar or some biscuits

My times vary a bit, since I'm a knocked up stay-at-home mom, but it's something like this:

up somewhere around 7-8, get the kiddo and myself some breakfast. it varies, depending on the cravings of the week. can be cereal and milk with some fruit, cottage cheese and fruit, bagel & cream cheese and fruit, or occasionally eggs and bacon, french toast, or PB toast and fruit. read the news and play with my kid.

I usually have coffee midmorning, otherwise I'll be too tempted to lay down when i put my nearly 1yr old down for her AM nap (9:30ish) once she goes down, I start cleaning. I sweep, swiffer and vaccum every day, clean up the kitchen from the night before; i mop every other day as well as some laundry. with a little one, i swear i could probably do a small load every day!

somewhere around 11:30-12 kiddle gets up, we do lunch- mine varies, but it usually involves salad of some fashion, sometimes a sandwich, maybe some fruit or a yogurt.

midafternoon, if it's nice and the sidewalks are clear (we live in the NE, so snow is a factor) i try to get outside and walk with the kiddle, but if we don't get out there, i usually find i have the most energy for working out sometime in the afternoon. every other day I do upper body strength training with 5lb dumbbells, some pilates-type leg excercises and finish off with some yoga. in all, it's about 40 min. on the days I don't do that, I try to get in a 45 min yoga sequence or get outside and walk, or take the kiddle to the mall and walk. (sometimes this happens a little earlier in the day and lunch is afterwards, depending on kiddle's schedule and my energy level)

late afternoon is a small snack, maybe some fruit, cheese and crackers, or an indulgence of some fashion, while kiddle has a snack of her own.

Dinner is usually between 6-7; my husband is usually at school or the lab until about 6; dinner is highly variable. this week was stroganoff, salmon, chicken enchiladas and then leftovers, tonight is going to be thai red curry with chicken…

I usually have a snack before bed, otherwise I'm friggin hungry as all hell- often times a yogurt or a glass of skim milk with chocolate syrup…

i try to shoot for 10pm bedtime, but it's usually later than that, lately, closer to midnight.

Weekends: Don't usually schedule in exercise, but we're usually outside geocaching so it happens naturally. Still watch what we eat. I fit it in, but try to do it outside, geocaching, hiking, walking at the gun range while husband shoots, fishing, etc.

Not the best food choices, but i'm losing and trying to start making some better decisions. As long as it's in my calorie goal and i'm still losing, sometimes convenience doesn't bother me one bit.
