Re: Tuesday Accountability
I'm so annoyed, I didn't go to the gym last night and have no time the rest of the week ugh. I had a crying breakdown last night when I got home from work I'm surprised I got dinner on the table. Poor BF is about to flip out on someone at my job. Long story short, our manager is MIA and needs to make some MAJOR decisions in regards to our new system that goes "live" on Friday. No one has heard from her at all.....Anyway, onto my accountability lol.
B-lo carb monster (1) potato bread (2) PB2 (1) sf rasberry jam (1)
S-yo crunch (5) grapes (0)
L-leftover cheesy chicken (13) side salad with rasberry vinagarette (0)
S-clementines (0) cheese stick (2)
D-leftover parm meatloaf (9)
L: ST salisbury steak and 4.67 oz skillet potatoes, blood orange (404)
S: pink lady apple, 1/2 oz almonds (162)
dessert: fruit, ~50-100 cals
E: either JM yoga (approx. -110) or 30 min jogging (approx. -215)
net: approx. 1060-1150, although if I do the jogging I will probably sneak in something extra with dinner.
I never have time to go to the gym (seriously, my schedule is ridiculous) so sometimes I will just do 20 minutes of jogging/running in place while watching a show or waiting on a casserole in the oven. it burns about 7 cals a min for a 120-lb woman, so in just 20 min I can burn about 140 cals! maybe you can sneak in something like that... or an HIIT interval?
sorry it's so rough. I totally get it and it sucks! hug!

6:00, be there or be square!
I like the idea of doing pushups after potty breaks, commercial breaks, etc. I'm going to do that this week. I'm also going to go up and down the two flights of stairs we have in our house for a half hour a day lol.
Can't wait to get back to the gym next week!
Still here and still fabulous!
[QUOTE]Aw Buddy, I'm sorry work is being a pain. Regarding the working out thing, I came across this workout yesterday and figured I'd share. It's a 20 minute workout and all you need is a jump rope. It says you'll burn 200 calories in those 20 minutes. CLICK While it's not cardio, I've gotten myself into doing push-ups.<strong> I read somewhere that at the wedding, the part of you that everyone sees is your arms </strong>and that realization was horrifying to me. I did 60 yesterday. 10 at the gym and then 10 each time I went to the bathroom. My favorite part is that not only are my arms sore but I 100% feel it in my abs too which is another place I need a ton of work.
Posted by rdr716[/QUOTE]
<div>It is SO true. While not every part of me was perfect, there are definitely pictures where I just sit there and admire my arms (yes, Tiger is vain). You've got plenty of time to work on your arms, and I think that's a great idea to do a few pushups every time you go to the bathroom!</div>
Still here and still fabulous!
[QUOTE]Day 2 - back on the MFP bandwagon: B: coffee with cream & sugar: 215 L: Sweet potato with light butter and brown sugar: 441 D: Skinnytaste chicken parm and salad: 600 E: Hopefully making it to the gym tonight! S: If I do go to the gym, I will eat back those calories with an apple and some PB.

<div>I think you might be off on your potato calories. Also, you might want to eat more protein with breakfast and lunch. :-)</div>
Rdr - I think I need to try that today. My arms are probably one of my least favorite parts of my body.
B: Whole wheat toast w/ PB - 6 Banana - 0
S: Turkey Jerky - 2
L: Lean Cuisine Cheddar & Potatoes - 5, Carrots - 0
S: Pop Chips - 3
E: 40 minutes elliptical - +4, Abs/Push ups - +2 (or so)
I am so sore from working out yesterday but, I am going to fight through it.

See above, I am eating exactly what I should be for WW (32/32) but I am low on my calories according to my calorie tracker. So what do I do? I am out of weekly points (though I could dip into activity points if I wanted to, though I wanted to save those for Thursday) so I don't want to go over on WW tonight. Thoughts?

<div>Fruits and vegetables are 0pp, yes? Add some more to your day for extra calories without changing points. An average sized serving of fruit is around 100 calories. Medium banana, apple, cup of grapes, a few cuties etc. </div>

If it was me, since I'm always confused, I would stick with either WW points OR counting calories.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Tuesday Accountability : Someone else suggested this on FB. Thanks! That makes sense to me. I still just wonder how the two can be so off.
Posted by LivLeighton[/QUOTE]
I've never done WW, so I have no idea. I get that WW makes it easy for people, but "real" calories make more sense in my head. I blame the scientific training. Either way fresh fruits and veggies are the right way to go.
