Last Saturday was my ‘high calorie’ day. I got up at 5am to workout before our little kids Christmas program practice, adult choir cantata practice and going to Des Moines for the rest of the day with Joel and Nate. I ate a yogurt for breakfast and so since it was my ‘high calorie day’ we went to Chili’s for [...]
This week was tough on me. We got a major snow storm so I missed Tuesday and Wednesday nights of working out. I also made homemade chili and ate it all week. That would be 2 bowls for lunch and 2 for supper for maybe 3 days last week. Definitely not good when you’re trying to cut back calories. So [...]
Well I am no officially 10 weeks into this last round of my journey to 100. I say last round becuase I will NOT have to do this again once the weight is off and I’m back where I want to be. Then I will start the maintaining phase which I am really looking forward to. Honestly I’m not averaging [...]
I can’t believe it’s been 9 weeks since I’ve started working out again. It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. I have come a long way – even from where I was when I worked out January-April. I did take May-September off but my stamina is way up. My intensity on my cardio is way up. I can tell [...]
I forgot to post my update of my journey last week. The last time I posted was two weeks ago. Last week was ok. Not a great week. I missed 2 workouts and splurged once too many times. I lost 3 pounds. This week was better. I still missed one work out – last night – but it was worth [...]
This week went by so fast. I made some HORRIBLE food choices this week. Last Saturday was my “high calorie day” – a cheat day – where I can eat whatever I want. Well my cheat day turned into 3 days. It was not good. Last weekend I had: Saturday – 3 taco meal from Taco John’s and a LARGE [...]
Some people have been asking me what a typical meal looks like for me. Or how I can eat healthy and still get full on a meal. It’s pretty easy. Above is a picture of a typical meal at my house. Sometimes I do a chicken breast, veggies and yogurt. Other times I’ll do a sandwich, fruit and yogurt. For [...]
I can’t believe I’ve been at this for six weeks now. It was a good week overall. I thought I would have had a bigger loss than I did. I’m down a notch on my belt and my t-shirts are fitting looser but my arms are starting to fill them out better. I’m starting to be able to tell a [...]
I have been asked by a few people recently what my workout looks like. Honestly it varies but here are the workouts broken down by days. This gives an idea for what I do. Sunday: Day off Monday: Chest/ Triceps/ Cardio Cardio – 45 minutes of hills intervals on the eliptical working up to 7mph. I also try to get [...]
This is week 4 since i began my journey again. I’m excited about how it’s going but I feel like it should be going better. I haven’t been eating my “snacks” between each meal like I should be so maybe I’m getting enough caloric intake right now. That could be it. Still I’m pretty happy with where I’m at right [...]
