Food: on target.
Assessment: getting back to the routine and some new goals. Looking for significant fitness improvement this upcoming year.0 -

Happy Thursday! Just a couple of clients today. Shopping is all done and there's just a couple of presents left to wrap. House is done and now all we have to do is wait for my BIL and SIL to arrive tomorrow and party!!!
Cardio:jog/walk- 3 miles (500 calories)
Strength:chest- incline bench, Hammer bench, dips, seated flyes. 8x8 method
Assessment: Even though I had a Burrito Supreme yesterday, weight went down.0 -
Big calorie deficit today. Ran out of time to eat much, but what I did manage was super healthy and low-cal.
Gym Workout Total Burn - 467 calories
CARDIO:
Treadmill - 5.0 and 6.0 intervals - 20 minutes - 227 calories
Stationary Bike - 17 minutes - 117 calories
STRENGTH TRAINING - 35 minutes - 123 calories
Standing Tricep Extension - 3x10x30
Seated Cable Row - 3x10x45
Oblique Abdominal Crunch - 4x40
Abdominal Crunches - 4x40
Leg Press - 3x10x130
Toe Press - 3x10x40
Seated Lateral Pull - 6x10x60
Standing Calf Raise - 3x20x60
Food: Only 993 calories for today. Not intentional, just the way it fell. I had ham, veggies, low-cal cottage cheese, a smart ones frozen meal and a shrimp and bacon salad....so nothing I ate carried any weight to it. But I'm not left hungry or anything, and I'm actually glad for it today.
ASSESSMENT: I needed to feel that control again. The stress of impending holiday eating, whether I'm doing any of it or not, is overwhelming me. The need to control something that's hard to control...people all around me and the need to enjoy a holiday...I don't do well with my ED anxiety over it. *shrugs* Happy Holidays, I suppose. I'm attempting to reach 154 lbs. by christmas eve. My weigh in Saturday morning is stressful enough....hoping I did enough in 16 days to lose 3 lbs! No point in pushing yourself if you don't believe you can do it.0 -

UPDATE:
Reached my "mini-goal" of losing 3 pounds in 16 days [by christmas]. Weighed myself 12/23 at officially 154.5. A total loss of 21 pounds in 99 days, or 84 percent weight loss from original goal. Actually felt disappointed over not losing that last half pound to 154.
Food: Overindulged at Christmas. Havve hung around 2,000 calories both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Probably overestimated a lot. Disappointed.
MONDAY:
12-hour work day. Logged the extra four hours of retail work on a sale day as walking, 2.0 mph, for 240 minutes. MFP says its a 710 calorie burn. Calories was up around 2,000, but still "under" after calorie burn allottment. Still felt bad about eating chocolates.
TUESDAY:
12-hour work day. Same as Monday.
ASSESSMENT: Eating much more then normal for the energy during extra work hours. Not a lot of sleep. Also am dealing with monthly cycle. Not feeling great over any of it. Can't wait to get back to the gym next week. No weigh ins until next week.
Keep a tumblr blog about all of this if you ever have a chance to read. Follow link: http://dreambig-gohome.tumblr.com/0 -
