I had Special K for breakfast, then had 1/2 a packet of plain oatmeal mixed with 1/2 a packet of brown sugar oatmeal with walnuts around 1:30 p.m. Then I had some Select Harvest minestrone soup around 3:30 p.m. Came home and the family had thin crust pizza (my portion is cheese only) so I had about 5 pizza squares and then a cookie...not saying that's a good thing, but do have to be honest.
I went to boot camp class at the gym and either I'm getting stronger or Nicole (the instructor) went light on us today. I didn't feel like passing out at the end like I usually do. So I went and did another 26 minutes on the "Cardio Death Machine" increasing the cross ramp from 10 to 14 and the resistance from 8 to 13 in random intervals.
THEN...even though we did some weight lifting in class...I did a set of:
- 25 lbs chest fly (machine)
- 20 lbs overhead press
- 20 lb dumbbells chest press
- 15 lb dumbbells bicep curls
-15 lb dumbbells tricep extension
After that, I was pretty wiped out.
Last Thursday, I didn't feel like making dinner and just wanted to get home and relax. I swung by Taco Bell and ordered 2 tacos off their "diet menu." Now, I think the fact that Taco Bell is marketing a diet plan like Subway did is completely ridiculous; but I do appreciate the "healthier" option. This was the first time in my entire life I ordered tacos without cheese. You see, they just substitute salsa for the cheese on your taco. Last week was my 2nd week of salads for lunch and I was growing pretty tired of them. Also rather sick of cleaning the Foreman grill. So this week, it's safe to say Taco Bell inspired me. Scary, isn't it?
There's what I bought. Shredded lettuce, reduced sodium taco seasoning, chicken, salsa (hiding behind the seasoning) and some whole wheat tortillas. Cooked up all the chicken in the seasoning and threw it in a container to bring it all to work for the week!
Now, as many of you may already know, I have a serious problem with raw chicken. It completely grosses me out. I freak out about it touching other things and am always scared I didn't clean anything that touched it enough. And, to top it all off, I have to wear latex gloves while handling it and those are still not enough of a barrier for me. So I think next week I should put up a video of myself cutting chicken up just so you can all have a good laugh. This was my first time having to cut it up (I always cook it in one whole piece or make Nels cut it if he's around) and it was not fun.
Tomorrow I'm going to start writing down my calories for a few days, because I'm not seeing weight loss results and don't have a grasp of how I'm doing in that area. So, hooray for measuring everything I eat...yeah that's sarcasm.
Gonna be sore in the morning! Good night!
Good Job and the food choices are great! How can anyone have this much willpower.......
