Post workout

1 scoop protein powder

1/2c soymilk

 

Breakfast

1c soymilk

1/3c dry GF steel cut oats cooked

1tsp cocoa powder

1tsp agave

1tsp peanut butter

 

Morning snack

8 kale leaves

1/2c pineapple

Because I feel the need to munch on something and because I don't have any way to make air popped I used 1 tbsp oil and 1/3c kernals on the stove. Won't feel as guilty about this as I would with all the oil I used to use to make my popcorn.

Ok I think it is time I find someone who wants to help me out during binge moments.... Last night wasn't good. I can't turn to my friends cause they aren't that supportive and will tell me I have earned it. I might need to look into OA at this point. I have taken away my treat from my bakery and will now have to wait another week to go. Good thing I don't need coffee yet. Damn you evil gluten!!!!!! Not a fan of doing triceps alone cause I don't have my buddy to spot me so I can go harder. Oh well

Trainer wants to weight in Wednesday morning which is a good thing since I won't have thunder thigh effect going on. Started training for my first 5k in 1 month. I did it in 46:15 and that was at a 1:50 walk at 3.0 and 1:10 jog at 5.5-6.0. I am icing my knee now and will take something to help with the achiness I am feeling in it

Today I decided I want to eat some normal food so I opted for a vegan tuna wrap and a thai sesame peanut wrap. Will have to make sure I get some excellent cardio sessions in to help burn off some of the sodium and calories lol

 

Ran 2nd 5k on treadmill did it in 40:20!!! I started off with 5.5 jog 3.0 walk and ended with 7.0 jog and 3.5 walk. I am slowly getting there

Ok so trainer decided we are going to do what he likes to call the "Recovery" week. High reps low weight.... Really?? Me low weight??? BAHHHHHHH.... I was actually kinda bored with my workout today lol but let me just say this going up the steps to do cardio, doing the upright bike and then walking down the stairs felt uncomfortable or as my workout buddy Chris likes to say my legs feel powerful. I managed to do a higher cal diet for the weekend and actually maintained my weight. Trying out a new idea to see if it really helps cause I need all the help I can get. Now if only they made a pill to kill cravings.....

 

AM cardio: 20 min upright bike lvl 4 manual program

It took every ounce of willpower I had to NOT load on more weight for the squat and leg press. I really wanted to try to hit 540 lbs today just so I can say yeah I can lift over a quarter ton lol!!! Wednesday is weight in and measurements day..... This week is supposed to get colder so I will be pulling my chili and cornbread out of the freezer so that I can have some wintertime yumminess for dinner this week, well after my weigh in that is lol. Yes I am nervous and excited to see how I have done according to the trainer's results not my own.

Nothing worse than coming home to a smokey house that stinks of fried flesh... Yes people my folks were frying up steaks (GAG!!!!!!) Talk about an appetite killer.... Not only that they brought in a chocolate strawberry cake thing from Hy-vee that is torturing me!!! So I will finish off my allotted soymilk and pour me a cold coffee. There is nothing sweeter than coming home and my boxer climbing up into my lap to snuggle with me!!!

Last month when I weighted in with my trainer I was 184.4 lbs with body fat of 33.1% this month I am down to 175.8 lbs with body fat of 31.9%. Ya know what??? I will take it! My measurements didn't change much. Lost .5" in shoulders, gained .25" in chest, lost .5" in my calves, lost .25" in my hips, lost .25" in my thighs and waist stayed the same. Or something to that effect on the measurements. Guess next week I will hit the weights harder to try to build more muscle! Officially ready for this week to be over now If my trainer wasn't so diligent about checking my journal I carry I would lift heavier and lie to his face hahahah but I can't so I won't even try.....

Will update my workouts done yesterday later.... found out last night that my fun run was canceled with no notification other than a refund confirmation. I was looking forward to it too!!!!!! Going to sign up to do a Harvester's Thanksgiving Day run I think instead which gives me more time to get used to running

So today was kind of an emotional day. I even cried a couple times today.... So I went for a run after work and did a 5k on the treadmill in 37:51! Now I am munching on 2 peanut butter sammies with a cup of soymilk which is a comfort meal for me.

So loving my calves today!! I need to start working on my winter diet which will be full of soups, stew and chili. Just need to make sure I get enough of a variety of vegetables, legumes and grains to keep me full and help me lean out. I have been thinking a lot about going raw but with winter fast approaching I want hot foods that will warm me from the inside out and raw foods have a bit more of a cooling effect on me.

After I finish off this box of steel cut oats I am switching to millet because I can buy it in bulk cheaper than a box of gluten free steel cut oats and I am trying to do everything I can to cut costs right now because funds are super tight. Oh the joys of being poor lol!!!

Thanks PPW!!! Most people who actually have seen them in person want my calves including my trainer, his gf, my training buddy and one of my best friends. Was funny cause I went to sit down last night for a set of incline DB press and my trainer's gf was like omg I want your calves out of nowhere. Warms my heart
