I'm dedicating this post to keeping track of my workouts and meals! I've been on-again, off-again with working out and eating healthy and it's time I stay on it! I started being serious about this on April 10, 2010 and I hope that this will be a lifetime commitment. My goal is to work out 6 days a week until I get back into shape and 5 days a week after that to maintain. Here we go…
Saturday, April 10, 2010 DAY 1:
W/O: 3 miles on the treadmill (mostly running) using Couch-to-5k plan. Time: 45 minutes. The longest running interval was 5 minutes in the plan, but I ended up running 11 minutes straight when I reached the last running interval. Then I walked until I reached 3 miles. This is actually my 4th week doing the Couch-to-5k plan, but I haven't been doing it 3 days a week like I was supposed to. I'm doing a little better than I thought I would!
Bfast: Protein Meal Bar
Lunch: Turkey on Rye Bread
Snack: Strawberry frozen sorbet
Dinner: Baked Chicken Breast marinated in Italian Dressing w/ green beans
Drinks: WATER, lots of it!
I probably didn't eat enough today, but I wasn't hungry at all. Probably because I ate so much last week!
Sunday, April 11, 2010 DAY 2:
W/O: P90 Sculpt ¾ using 8 pound weights. It was easy to push play, but I was completely exhausted after doing the lunge/squat reps. But at the end, I did 25 pushups and 25 squats and felt great!
Bfast: Protein Meal Bar
Snack: Grapefruit
Lunch: Leftover baked chicken breast w/ green beans
Snack: South Beach Diet bar
Dinner: Hamburger Helper & kernel corn (not the best meal, but I had to settle for what we had on hand).
Drinks: All water except 2 glasses of decaf sweet tea
Monday, April 12, 2010 DAY 3:
W/O: I had a lot going on today, but I finally got my workout in at 9 p.m. I did the 5k program - week 4. Time: 30 minutes.
Bfast: Protein Meal Bar
Lunch: Leftover Hamburger Helper & kernel corn (mainly corn)
Snack: Grapefruit
Dinner: Chicken and Noodles, green beans
Drinks: All water except on glass of tea
Tuesday, April 13, 2010 DAY 4:
W/O: GREAT DAY! I was so sore from my past few workouts that I could barely walk to day! And it really didn't help that I had to sit at a desk all day. I still did Power 90 Sculpt 3/4 when I got home. Today is our busiest day of the week with the children's activities, but luckily we had some leftovers so I didn't have to cook! We went to boy scouts and found out we were going walking. Too bad I was wearing my Sperry's and not my walking shoes, but we walked about 2 miles. Feeling much better and the soreness is gradually decreasing!
Bfast: Pack of Toasties crackers
Lunch: Leftover Noodles and Chicken with green beans
Snack: Rice Krispie Treat....I needed something healthier but this was given to me by a student!
Dinner (early): Leftover Noodles and Chicken with green beans (This is getting old now! It was good, though).
Snack: Strawberry fruit sorbet and one spoonful of chocolate ice cream...the kids were eating it and it looked so good! I savored that little spoonful!!
Drinks: 2 glasses of tea, rest water
Tomorrow I'm going to the grocery store! I am out of healthy foods and I'm having to go to the vending machine at work to get breakfast! Bad and costly!
Wednesday, April 14, 2010 DAY 5:
W/O: Well, it's midnight here and I've been going nonstop all day long. In fact, I'm working on some homework assignements now. I also had a cake to bake today. Unfortunately, I didn't get to work out. I plan to do both sculpt 3/4 and some cardio tomorrow to make up for missing today. Of course, I did walk that extra 2 miles last night, so thank goodness for that!
Bfast: Pack of Toasties crackers (vending machine again)
Lunch: Turkey and swiss sub with mustard (school cafeteria food, but not bad!)
Snack: Strawberry gummy fruit snacks (supposedly made with 100% juice)
Snack: Super late dinner, so I ate a granola bar when I got home from grocery shopping.
Dinner: Catfish Nuggets (Yep, fried) My hubby caught them last night and cooked them tonight. I didn't eat any french fries and ate about 4 nuggets. I'm still a little hungry but I was trying to be good and not eat many since they were fried.
Drinks: 2 glass of tea and rest water
Thursday, April 15, 2010 DAY 6:
W/O: Power 90 Sculpt 3/4!! Feeling great! I did my workout before I picked up the kids today. It's getting easier for me! My friend, Joy, asked if I wanted to go walking, and as BAD as I wanted to go, I couldn't because I had a ton of homework to do and It's 1 a.m. now and I'm still not finished!
Bfast: Yogurt
Lunch: Ham and cheese sub
Snack: Granola bar
Dinner: Catfish nuggets, mac & cheese, and corn (No more fried foods after today...but I only ate about 4)
Snack: Strawberry fruit frozen sorbet (I normally don't snack after dinner, but I've been eating dinner early and staying up really late studying)
Drinks: 5 bottles of water, 2 glasses of tea
By the way, I'm sitting here staring at a cake plate full of cupcakes...and I haven't eaten a single one. I didn't even lick the icing when I baked them last night!
Friday April 16, 2010 DAY 7:
W/O: Today was my REST DAY. I thought about making up the other day I missed, but I really didn't get a chance. We are giving my brother-in-law and his fiance a lawn and garden shower tomorrow so I have a lot of cakes to bake. I also had 2 other cake orders. I baked a total of 5 cakes tonight!

W/O: 5k run...5 min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk, 5 min run, then 5 min walk. I would have ran another 5 min, but I started getting terrible heartburn while running. I guess it was heartburn...it eased off after a while.
