food and stuff

so if i work out after midnight does that count as working out for the next day or the technically previous day? anyway, i biked 7.5 miles, did abs and pushups last night.

breakfast in the caf (12:00pm)
-1.5 cups rice krispies
-1.5 cups raisin bran
-1.5 cups 2% milk
-1/2 cup fruit salad
-1 stick of pocky

okay. so i know i've been bad. i admit this. today i had a cadbury egg, at least 2oz of mixed nuts, AND a fun dip (though that was 50 cals...). but you know what? it's okay. it's o.k.a.y. i will not give up because i slip up. i will not give up my happiness because i fail like anyone else. because its not a failure until i quit. it's a roadbump.

i was about to give up on this blog today. this inspired me:

Neck: 13''
Shoulder: 22''
Bicep: 11.5''
Chest: 34''
Waist: 30''
Hips: 37''
Thigh: 24''
Calf: 14.75''


I made progress in my thighs and calves! insane for what i felt like was a week of failures! just goes to show soemtimes you get yourself down more than you think you are!

i bought alli today. i'm hoping this will help regulate my intake of fat and also it will help me lose weight faster. I am going to be using the alli site in order to track my progress but i will still try to update with food progress. i felt like it was easier to track when i was writing in a physical notebook so i may keep that up instead. i'm not sure yet. i feel very compelled to run right now though.

I bought an entire pound of salmon at the grocery store last weekend and cooked about half of it today so I should be using lots of it in the next week and I'm super excited!)

Food and Exercise Feb 9, 2010

So last night, I didn't complete my log yet. I was very bad. My roommate and I went out to buy some ink for our printers and got caught in a storm of traffic. We were going to a Pure Romance party and were running superrr late because of the traffic so we headed straight there and guess what? BBQ chips and pink lemonade were sitting abundant after I hadn't eaten in almost 5 hours. Let's just say I ate my weight in BBQ chips and felt awful afterward. I tried to balance it out and ate some roasted chicken when I got home. sighhhhhh. But I did over 100 squats so that was cool!

Food and Exercise Feb 7th, 2010

So I woke up this morning, feeling much better than I was last night. I went down to the cafeteria and had:

Brunch at caf (11:30am)
2 egg omelette with tomato, ham, red and green peppers, and onion
1 bowl of rice krispies with 2% milk
fruit salad (grapes, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, pineapple)


Snack at home (4:20pm)
1 clementine

Beginning of dinner (5:15pm)
1 half pita
1 1/2 tsp. hummus
1 med. pear
3 tbsp. mixed nuts

Rest of dinner (7:45pm)
2 pieces whole wheat bread
1 slice swiss cheese

Snack at home (10:10pm)
1/2 pita
1 tbsp hummus

Snack at home (12:30am)
too many mixed nuts

Only after I ate did I realize rice krispies are a processed food!! Oh well, these things happen and I will not let it defeat me! Unfortunately, right after I finished eating, I started to feel very sick again. I'm now chillin in my bed, probably going to take a small nap and then try to get some homework done. I'm hoping I'll feel good enough to start week 2 of my 100 pushups program sometime today! Yoga didn't happen this morning as my friend who I was goign to go with has gotten veryyyy sick with the flu. Hopefully we'll go next week!
