I’m a little down today. I was angry a while ago and took it out on the weights. I’ve been so diligent with my diet and have been working out really hard. I’m so frustrated to see the scale up 2 pounds from when we started the challenge. It makes me want to give up. I know though that with staying-power will come results….eventually. A little pity party and then i’ll be okay. My plan is to re-evaluate and keep a close eye on my macronutrients this week.
Macronutrient Plan: 1300 cals per day. 130g protein, 130g carbs, 29g fat
Today’s Meal Plan:
B: 3/4 c carton egg whites, 1/3c oatmeal, 1T flaxmeal
SN: Chocolate Cherry Smoothie (want the recipe??)
L: 1.7oz chicken, 2pcs ww pizza w/spinach (no cheese)
SN: 1 apple
D: 3 oz chicken, garden salad (no dressing), 4 pcs brown rice/shrimp sushi

My cheat last night ended with a few too many chocolate chip cookies. Whenever I have a drink, my resistence to dessert is lower. I know this, and will work to be more in control.
Started training for a March 5k. Yes, I know, I’m a half marathoner, why am I training for a 5k. Well, I’d like to beat my previous 5k times, and the pace is so different for halfs than for 5ks. So I ran the 3.1 plus miles today as a baseline. I’m going to plan long runs on Sundays to keep up on my half endurance, and work during the week on my 5k times as speed work.
Today’s Meal Plan:
B: 3 egg whites, 1 fresh apricot, 1/2c kashi crunch
L: 1pc ww bread, 1T PB, 1T Fig Preserves, 1c skim milk
D: 1 cup of black bean soup, 1 multigrain roll, 1/2 chocolate protein bar
SN: 1c coffee, 1/2 c skim milk.
SN: Balance Trail Mix Bar

I’ve had a phenomenal eating week. I’m on a roll. Tonight the younger members of my family and I are going to a dinner show. It is a fake “Family Reunion”. I just looked over the menu, hope you’re sitting down (it’s a buffet): caesar salad (i’m sure it’s already dressed), chicken parm, sliced beef with sauce, stuffed scrod (i’m sure it’s loaded with butter), penne with vodka sauce, potatos, and veggies, coffee/dessert bar. Would it kill a restaurant to make things that aren’t all souped up with fat? I guess the average american likes it that way. I thought about telling them when i get there that i have dietary restrictions and ask for something like, a piece of beef w/o the sauce etc. But i’m not sure i feel comfortable. i have a friend with a serious garlic allergy–she calls ahead everywhere and restaurants are very accommodating. My plan: stick with veggies, scrape off the sauce on the beef, and stay away from dessert. A protein bar on my way there should help keep my impulses at bay. I tend to tell myself, “aw, you’ll run it off tomorrow”, but we all know that only sets my progress back.
Today’s Meal Plan:
B: 3 egg whites, 1 mini ww bagel, 1/2 T light cream cheese, 1/2c blueberries
SN:
L: 2oz chicken on garden salad, 3 baked apple chips, 1T gorgonzola crumbles, 1pc multigrain roll NO DRESSING!
SN: Greek yogurt, Kashi crunch, banana
D: Dinner Theater Show. Ate healthy options at the dinner, had vodka and club soda and half pc of cheesecake.
