Stalled in my tracks

I'm not really "off track" so much as kinda stopped on the track. Leasa will probably come blaring up and crash into my caboose b/c I'm just sitting still. lol

Anyway, I had my dear aunt Flo come and visit this week, so I'm not even daring to weigh myself. After not having a period for a year and half to two years, I can say that I didn't miss it. ANd it's not so much that I've been eating *bad*... but I haven't necessarily been eating as good as I should. I did have a banana nut muffin at the hospital yesterday. And it was fabulous. And then I regretted it. Ugh.

BUT I did go and do kickboxing on Monday, planning on tennis tonight (are you in ladies?), and then at least kickboxing on Thursday too. I need to fit in another day of the gym during the week - probably Friday.

Mallory asked about our plans... on a totally random side note, every time I say "the plan" I replay the scene from "Ten Things I Hate About You" in my head and it makes me giggle silently. :)

So here's THE PLAN

limit carbs
cut out most added sugars - most cereals, breads, processed/canned foods, yogurts, etc.
Eat lots of veggies and fruit, although I should cut down the amount of fruit I eat probably
Increase my protein with egg whites, ckn breats, etc.
Go to the gym 2-3 times a week
Tennis once a week
Increase my outside activity with the kids and NEW PUPPY :)
Weigh myself 2-3 x per week
Keep a food journal

So "now that you've seen THE PLAN".... lol - yup, I'm a nerd. I'm ok with it. I know Mallory gets it even if no one else does, lol ;)

  1. I totally got the reference lol! I think the important thing is that you have a plan and a guidline to go off of. Then someone throws a wrench in the plan. like when your boss buys you lunch from 7th street Deli and the little italy sandwiche looks amazing! Anyway, sounds like a great plan and I can't wait to hear the results!

  2. Right on to you for even wanting to weigh yourself more than once a week! Sounds like a great plan you have set up. Just remember to "Keep It Real!" Don't get discouraged when life happens and you lose yourself in a moment of indulgence. It's OK to enjoy something in moderation and then get back on track. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole basket of chips and salsa at Dos Hombres with no guilt. Just tanked the water and got back on track. That is until my trainer kicked my butt at the gym today! lol

  3. So are you going to go show other people "The Plan"?

    So here is my comment about your plan, I think it sounds great I just think it's really sad that you have to limit the amount of fruit that you eat. If you take away soda, chips, pasta, candy, bread (as in only eating bread for a meal), cookies, cake, ice cream, pizza. The only thing left that I enjoy eating is fruit. So how do we limit that too?
