Today I am grateful for my inner strength.
At times over this wonderful Yom Tov I felt like just taking a bite, just having a nibble, just enjoying my Yom Tov...after all you don't gain weight from eating on Shabbos and Yom Tov....ha ha ha.
Well this morning I stepped on the scale hoping for a big number but all I got was minus .7 I am now 198.2. I wanted bigger! I felt all the times I said no should add up...but I took a deep breath and acknowledged a loss is a loss no matter how small! Today I will start gyming again and I hope the weight will go away a tid bit faster!!!
My plan for the day is to go to the gym for an hour, go to zumba for an hour, take my boys to soccer, make a food plan for the week, and STUDY!!! I need to do major studying over the next few days!!!
So for now I am peculating my coffee, I plan to drink a large, dark, hot coffee..
Breakfast:
2cups coffee with low fat milk
1/2 cup oatmeal
heaping tsp peanut butter
splash cinnamon
small apple
Post workout snack:
blueberries blended with coconut milk splash of vanilla and cin
2 eggs
Lunch:(to go)
Cut up veggies
2 cheese sticks
4 corn thins
fruit
Snack:
I hope to make a big soup for the week
Dinner:
Chicken
baked Potato
brussel sprouts and broccoli
Drink lots of water (hot tea at night is my thing!!!)
I will try to do 24 min on the stationary bike tonight as well!!!
Have a fabulous day!!!
Note: zumba was canceled so I didn 1 1/2 hrs on the arc trainer (according to the machine I burnt 1000 calories) For lunch I didnt eat the corn thins, I didnt make soup but i had some dried mango (without sugar) and dinner was mixed lettuce with sliced beets and a little bit of corn, butternut squash and chicken
I felt the same way. I walked so much, my clothes fit better etc. But it's not just about the loss, you didn't gain! I read once that most people gain over the holidays because they're more sedentary and lose muscle tone as well.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up! You're doing great!
g'morning nami! sounds good but I would try to incorporate protein in every meal --especially breakfast; so maybe add 4-6 oz of cottage cheese.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it is my understanding that its better to make breakfast the cardinal meal with protein & the fat so you may want to consider switching the oatmeal for the eggs (switch breakfast for lunch).
Just my 2 cents.....
g'luck!
Tnx guys! The peanut butter has protein but you are def right!Breakfast should be the cardinal meal as you say!!! I will def try!
