Monday

I didn't write down all of my calories from yesterday...but I do have a list:

2 C. coffee w/ creamer
1 protein shake w/ banana
120 oz. water
1 cucumber
1 serving veggie lasagna
1 apple
8 honey-wheat pretzels
1 rice cake
10 tortilla chips
1 tofu dog w/ chili
1 graham cracker

Exercise:
20-min. sprint run
abs
40 push-ups

Sunday

I decided that Sunday will be a good day for juice-fasting. Our doctor recommends doing it once a week to give your digestive tract a break from having to digest food. It feels really good to take a break from eating and get nutrients just from juicing. I did still have my coffee...that will be one big hurdle to cross when I get the nerve to try - I am FOR SURE the ultimate coffee drinker...just love the dang stuff!

Here's my juicing from Sunday (I will try to get more juice in me next time...)
2 C. coffee
10 oz. fresh orange juice
12 oz. fresh grapefruit/apple juice
20 oz. fresh carrot/green pepper/celery/spinach
1 C. hot tea

Below 140...yah!!! :)

I stepped on the scale and read, much to my surprise, 139.5 pounds!

I've been fighting to get below 140 for a great long while now.

I'm mostly surprised b/c I didn't work-out very much this week b/c I've been battling this sinus thing AND I was on my period...two strikes against weight loss.

I'll pick back up tomorrow on my writing down foods that I eat.

I want to change my "free" day to Saturday. One reason is that since I weigh that morning I think it would be the best day to take a little more lax. Also, I want to start juice-fasting on Sundays. We'll see how it goes/how I feel about it. I have juice-fasted in the past...but it's been years. I always feel great, energized and "light" after doing it. But I've never been consistent on it.

I've been naughty...

I haven't been eating bad...or not exercising...but I haven't been updating my blog like I said I would...every day.

I had a really rough week last week. And I am not feeling well now. Yesterday I went to bed at 6. I've had horrible headaches for the last few days that have pretty much knocked me out. And also sinus issues. I have to go get ready for work now...ugh!

I gained a 1/2 pound last week...back to 141. But, I started my period this week so I pretty much expect that. I went 20 days from cycle to cycle this last time. Sure would like to have a normal 28-day cycle! It's exhausting having your period every 14-21 days!!! For the past 2 1/2 years.

That is all for now...I will be better. But not promising anything until I feel better. Thanx, Janet, for the comment and holding me accountable!!!

Ok, Tuesday was a bad day for me...and you know when you have bad days EVERYTHING is bad, right? Well...I did good the whole day and then ate chocolate hearts right before bed. :( Anyway...I don't have my food recorded (b/c I threw away the slip of paper I wrote on)...

My exercise was: 20 minutes on the stair master and 10 minutes on eliptical. Abs, push-ups and bi's/tri's. It was a good work-out.

I had a GREAT w/out yesterday morning and definitely needed the extra calories...I was hungry a lot of the day yesterday.

My w/out: 3 miles intervals - from 10 min/mile pace to 7:47 min/mile pace. Jumping lunges/squats/and bench work. 40 push-ups and abs. It was fun to jump yesterday...I love the intensity!
