You know what really pisses me off? When I went to DMH this morning there was a lady in her late 50's or early 60's that looked better than I will in at least a year to a year and a half.
I took a step back this weekend. It was my 24th birthday and I went to my girlfriend's house for her brother's graduation cookout. I had a cheeseburger and macaroni salad and baked beans then I took a bratworst for the road. Then, once in Indy, we went to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. We had the nacho appetizer and then i ordered the turkey burger. It was gross so I only had a couple bites of it. Did I mention that I ordered two mixed drinks?
The next day, we went to O'Charley's for lunch and I had one roll and fiesta grilled chicken with black beans and rice and tomatoes. No breakfast. Then once back in town I had Panda Express for dinner: oragne chicken, greenbean chicken and noodles..oh, and three cream cheese rangoons with plum sauce. Then, went out and I lost count of how many drinks I had but they were double shots of raspberry vodka and lemonade and random jello shots. I didn't feel so good the next day.
The next day I ate: Macaroni and Cheese (white noodles), half a leftover cheeseburger from the cook-out, crackers with cream cheese, and then Regular size roast beef meal from Arby's with small curly fry and a large ice water.
I didn't do well but I did much better than I would have before I started paying attention to what I consume. Before, I would have stopped at the gas station on my way out of town and gotten a soda, probably not diet, then a chocolate candy bar king size and a bag of skittles and maybe some beef jerky or gardetto's then ate everything that I ate anyway.
So, I can't beat myself up too much.
I did rebound myself today though, I worked out at DMH and added 9 minutes to my whole program. I had a meal bar and kiwi for breakfast, chicken noodle soup for lunch, and then grilled turkey and cheese sandwich with onions and grilled asparagus. I only drank water today and a 12 oz gatorade.
Okay, it felt better to get all of that off my chest. I've also started reading old issues of fitness magazine and I am considering getting my own subscription but I will share my favorite articles with you. Summarized of course.

What kind of meal bars do you eat?
ReplyDeleteYou can save money by just reading Fitness magazine online. Shape is a decent one too. But be VERY careful about what you read in those magazines... a lot of them are psuedo-science and are only backed up by small sampled studies and based on shaky foundations. But they have good recipes, exercises, and the like usually.
ReplyDeleteAlso don't feel too bad about a setback. It's gonna happen... a lot. Last summer I was working out 5 days a week, two hours per day, and drinking no soda and eating right, and I couldn't get below 168. My goal weight was 150. You'll break it eventually. (I haven't but I'm also relatively sure I have hypothyroidism which is screwing my entire body up.)
I get the meal bars from Aldi's and they are part of their Fit & Active brand. I really like the taste of them, their price and they don't seem to be too heavy or too light. I eat them with a piece of fruit though.
ReplyDeleteI will check out online, but I don't always have my computer with me when it would be handy to have a copy on hand. But I'm also getting a Kindle for my birthday so we'll see what I do about that.
I have read some articles that I don't agree with but I do love the recipes and the normalcy of the women that are on diets and their success stories and their struggles even.
i hope its not your thyroid! That could be a pain in the butt! We have the same goal weight. Wanna race?! LOL.
Haha we could but honestly you'd probably win. I am... not well, to say the least. Here's hoping they figure out what's wrong with me before long.
