Wednesday Accountability

in Not Engaged Yet
Good morning and happy Wednesday! We're about half way through the week, the weekend is within reach. Let's switch it up a little today. In addition to writing out your meals and exercise, add in something you're proud of yourself for today and something you could work on. 

B: Tea, fruit cup, my "egg salad" -- I even chopped up celery for it today! (4)
L: Lean Cuisine meatloaf and mashed potatoes (6)
D: FI and I are going out to dinner at THIS place tonight. I'm torn right now between ordering the filet mignon and the scallops. If I get the steak, I have to show some self-control and only eat half (it's 10oz). But I'll know how many points I'm eating (I'd really have to guess if I got the scallops). We shall see. 

E: Rest day

I'm proud of myself for being active 7 of the past 9 days. The only days I didn't really do anything was last Friday (I had a wedding) and Saturday (I was a little hungover and needed a lazy day). 

I could work on adding more strength-training into my workouts. I try to do the upper body machine on the express circuit at my gym but I have no idea if I'm doing the right amount of weight/reps. Basically I'm winging it and I have no idea if I'm doing any good.

    B- scrambled eggs with spinach, onions, and tomatoes, coffeeeee
    L- english muffin with one tsp PB, almonds, grapes
    S- fiber one 90 cal brownie
    D- shrimp stir fry

    E- I'm getting my flu shot this morning so it will depend on how I feel...would like to do zumba but might end up doing something a little lighter (yoga?)

    I'm having a really hard time coming up with something that I'm proud of right now.  I could work on balancing my workout schedule a little more in terms of cardio, strength, body areas, etc.

    For upper body, I aim to do 2-3 sets of 10ish reps for each type of lift (I only have free weights available at my apartment gym, so this might not apply to circuit training).  For selecting the weight, I try to find the weight that allows me to do at least 8 reps, but then the final few reps should be a bit of a struggle, particularly during that third set.  I rest a minute or two between sets.  I am usually sore the next day, and sometimes on the second day too.  I feel obligated to add that I haven't actually lifted weights in a couple months, this is just what I used to do.

    B: oatmeal (160)
    S: hot chocolate (60)
    L: steamed veggies (175) + protein bar (190)
    S: hot chocolate (60) + nuts (170)
    D: soup (140) + saltines (120)
    Total: 1075
    This is way less than I should be eating.  I will need to add another 300 calories or so somewhere. 

    I am proud of myself for doing my hair and makeup this morning.  Since I have been so sick for the last week, I just couldn't be bothered.  I actually feel prepared to take on the day, instead of just taking another nap.

    I'm not sure what I need to focus on right now.  I haven't be running lately, but that isn't really something I can change until I feel better.  I suppose cutting out unhealthy snacking.  I bought some candy corn yesterday that I definitely didn't need.

    B: Left over hashbrowns and omlette from Sunday's breakfast
    L: Salad with chicken, feta, tomato, and ranch
    S: Apple
    D: I think fajitas

    E: JM 6wk6pk

    I am a negative nelly this week. Things money wise are finally starting to catch up to me from all the weddings and showers I had this summer. On a brighter note, I completed three applications yesterday. One for a new full time job and two part time positions. Handed one in at BWW and had an interview on the spot. I have my second interview there tonight. Wish me luck, I really need this.

    I could work on getting more workouts in and looking into how to budget myself better.

    I'm jealous of your dinner out, rdr!!

    B:  2 eggs, 1/2 toast, 1/2 tsp orange-fig fam, 8 oz skinny caramel macchiato (255)
    L:  chicken broccoli ginger stir fry (285), Texmati rice (107), XL peach (87)
    S:  large apple (120)
    D:  ST chicken cavatelli, but with elbow noodles (281 for large thigh and 114 for soup)

    that puts my total at 1250 cals.  I went over last night so I am trying to be more careful today.  however, if I do exercise, I will probably have a 75-100 cal snack...  probably some frozen grilled chicken strips for extra protein.

    E:  I usually don't do any on Wed because they are very busy for me, but since I didn't do anything last night (TOTM, I always have one day of crazy-extreme fatigue) I should do something today...  so probably something fast, 30 min or less.

    something I'm proud of:  health-wise, not much right now.  however, I'm really getting things done at work lately, and juggling a lot of different responsibilities.  I'm doing that well.  also, I went and bought a couple Cooking Light magazines...  I'd starting doing mostly Martha Stewart recipes, and while they are so tasty and wonderful, they really aren't as low-calorie and "healthful" as I'd like.  so I'm proud that I'm doing something about that, instead of just whining about not losing weight.

    something I can work on:  getting back into exercising, especially since I'm having surery in 3 wks (from today!).  also, I need to figure out how to keep exercising while on crutches/non-weight-bearing.  I am going to call a women's gym near my house and see if they offer anything I could do.  if not, I'm going to call my orthopedic surgeon and get some ideas.

    You're welcome!  One of my best friend's works at a gym and I made her teach me how to lift weights (and actually get results).  I should warn you, if you over do it, you will be sore the next day and extremely sore the second day.

    I made it to the gym yesterday and played tennis! I thought about weighing myself, but I weighed myself on Wednesday last week, so I should really do it today at the gym. Honestly, I'm kinda worried because I wasn't very good over the weekend, and because I had a lot of sodium yesterday (stupid soy sauce). Still, even if my wieght goes up a little, at least I'll know it, which I've avoided doing for a while now.

    Today
    B: Coffee with a little cream and half sugar/half splenda: 150
    L: 2 slices of leftover homemade pizza (one plain, one veggie) - 600
    D: Not sure yet - I have a feeling I'll end up splitting a hero with BF if we go to the gym & then I don't want to cook. - I'll estimate 700.

    E: Gym! and maybe tennis (-200)

    I'm proud of - committing myself to a weigh-in every week. It's going to take a while to get used to eating right consistently (I always really screw up on the weekends), but at least with a weekly weigh-in I'll finally hold myself accountable. And I know that once I drop 2lbs or so, I'll get really motivated, because that's what's always happened in the past, so I need to just keep doing my best to get to that point.

    I can work on - making it to the gym more often. BF and I both "want" to go, but if one of us isn't that interested in going for any reason, we both just decide to skip it. I need to push us to go more often and not always accept his excuses.

    <div>I know you don't do WW but they have really awesome recipes in the WW recipe books at the grocery store. It lists the calories and all that in addition to the points. My family and I had a big dinner last week and everything we made was from the book and every. single. thing. was absolutely delcious! They're a little pricey, I want to say $10 for the whole book but it's worth it if you want to try some new, yummy stuff! </div><div>

    </div><div>I don't know if this is an option for you but I bring my gym stuff to work with me so that I have no excuse to go home. You could do that and tell him to meet you at the gym. That way, you're taking the initiative and not really giving him the opportunity to "talk you out of it." Before I started doing this, my FI would suggest going for drinks after work, doing this, doing that.  Now he knows I go straight to the gym from work and anything we want to do happens after.

    sounds similar to the Cooking Light (CL) books I bought.  I marked almost every page, so I'm really excited.  they even have a 30 min or less section.  I haven't seen the WW recipe books at the grocery store, so maybe I can find it on Amazon.  I will look for sure, thank you! 

    the surgery is for bone spurs on my feet.  I had it done to my right foot, 4 or 5 years ago.  now it's time for my left foot.  they'll be detaching my achilles tendon and letting it reattach over the reduced bone area naturally, instead of stitching it back... that's why it takes so long and I can't put any weight whatsoever on my foot, to let the tendon reattach...  then I have to "teach it" how to move again.

    I'll be working from home for 4-6 weeks then wean myself into a walking boot off of crutches.  it could be a good 6 months before I'm able to relearn jogging, but I want to keep my heart healthy at least and find some sitting cardio.  my arms will get plenty of work on the crutches, and I found a few ab moves I can do without needing my legs.  but cardio?  all I can think of is shadow boxing in a chair.

    EDIT:  no swimming/water...  can't get it wet for a while.

    B: Eggs and turkey sausage and a little bit of potatoes.  I was hungry this morning, and I wanted to eat.
    S: Orange
    L: Skinny Shepherd's Pie: turkey, mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, tiny bit of gravy.
    D: Probably grilled chicken and veggies.  I'm heading home tonight.

    E: Running.  I got home too late last night, so I did some ab exercises instead of run.

    Proud of: Not losing my mind yet.  This job search is getting really hard on me.

    That place looks delicious rdr!

    B: Hard boiled egg with toast and black coffee
    S: Pineapple
    L: I think I'm going to go to Whole foods and get some soup. I'm hoping they have a tomato one, it's cold here today and it just sounds good
    D: Not sure, luckily I don't have to cook tonight so I may just have a bowl of cereal or leftovers from over the weekend.

    E: Zumba. Yesterday I walked 2.5 and then had stop because it was getting so dark.

    Something I am proud of is not turning in homework assignments late and making sure I know exactly what is due this week/weekend. I've had the worse seniortitis since last quarter.

    Something I could work on is trying to get out of bed early in the mornings. I wake up at 5 am normally but, the last two weeks I've kept hitting the snooze and then I'm almost always late for work.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Wednesday Accountability : I don't know if this is an option for you but I bring my gym stuff to work with me so that I have no excuse to go home. You could do that and tell him to meet you at the gym. That way, you're taking the initiative and not really giving him the opportunity to "talk you out of it." Before I started doing this, my FI would suggest going for drinks after work, doing this, doing that.  Now he knows I go straight to the gym from work and anything we want to do happens after.

    <div>Good suggestion, but we both work from home most of the time, so I always have my gym stuff "with" me. We go to the park to play tennis almost every day, so I just need to push us to also go to the gym afterwards, even if it's only going to be for 15 minutes, because I know that once I'm there I want to get a full workout in and I never actually leave after 15.</div>
