'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/1

39 days till the big day....

yesterday, I had leftover pasta for dinner not the best, since I know carbs go stright to my butt.... and it was my off-day for exercise....

today I had another low carb salad for lunch, and DEFINITELY will exercise tonight.

One problem, though.... I'm taking a class... (I know, I'm faculty, and still a student... what can ya do?) At any rate, the final is coming up, so I'm going to have to study / hibernate.... so far, I'm acing the class, and I don't want to mess it up in the 11th hour, but I'm simultaneously hoping to maintain the diet/exercise during all of this... So we'll see this week!


how are you doing?

I walked 25 city blocks to work today...took about 30 minutes...so that's my cardio ! I've been eating like a bird today since my 2nd fitting is tonight !!! An apple, a banana, cucumber slices & water. I'm having a NICE dinner after the fitting I'm officially down 13 pounds as of this morning !! I'm just so happy I reached my '2nd fitting goal weight' !!

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/1

Oatmeal for breakfast (plain w/ sweet and low), apple and 1 oz of sharp cheddar cheese for lunch w/ a diet pepsi. Probably have an egg white omelet for dinner. Going to the gym later too

Oooh, and after I checked in yesterday, I did go rollerblading, but only for like 20 minutes (to my mom's and back- about a mile or so...I sat at mom's for 10 minutes..lol- so actual rollerblading is only 10 minutes). Then I had chicken breast with a little cheese melted on top and carrots (I did put a tiny sliver of butter on them). THen FH came home from work with McDonalds. He bought me a cheeseburger. I ate the mystery meat patty off of it. Bad enough- but at least I got rid of the carbs.

Oh well, I'll make up for it today.

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/1

Hello ladies! Sounds like you all had a pretty good day!

Lets see....I had a cliff bar for breakfast before I went to the gym. At the gym, it was my cardio day so I did 70 minutes on the eliptical. Then I went home and walked the dog for a little over a mile. For lunch/dinner I had beef & vegetable low sodium soup. I'll probably just have celery sticks with peanut butter or something like that durring American Idol.
Didnt have much of an appetite today.

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/1

Did my Turbo Jam video (kickboxing) yesterday - actually two of them, which lasted about an hour & 15 minutes

Today I did 45 minutes on the elliptical while watching Celebrity Fit Club.
I Harvey.
Then I did about 45 minutes of weight training.

shocking that a cookie would make you give into temptation

you're still doing really well!

Re: 'almost the big day exercise thread' check-in 5/1

I've been pretty good today. Walked up 6 flights of stairs total today and back down, and was ok for food:

+plain cheerios with skim milk and a banana for bfast

+lunch i was bad: tuna fish sandwich on a croissant with pickle on the side (it tasted soooo good though)

+yoplait whips yogurt for snack

+salad for dinner

I'm probably 200-300 cal over my target for the day, but I'm happy that I forced myself to walk up the stairs at work instead of taking the elevator.
