Re: Dine & Dash - Monthly Check-in
Breakfast- oatmeal w/ blueberries
S- yogurt and pita chips
L- chicken, couscous, brocoli caserole I made yesterday
D- veggie burgers
I have not lost any weight BUT I'm not trying for that. I do notice a little more stamina in my running/cardio which is what I am going for.
I do want to do more running this month. I would also like to start drinking more water.
I will keep on the same work out plan C25K and then strength training one or 2 days a week as well.
::points to your ticker::
You have an excuse
B: 1 piece of wheat toast with 2 poached eggs, green tea
L: whole wheat pasta with tomato basil sauce, salad
I've only lost about a pound, but I wasn't really trying very hard this month. . . I'm starting wave 1 of the Sonoma Diet today (although my dinner is a little bit of a cheat with the cheese and mayo on my sandwich - they're light though). I want to lose 10 lbs.
My goal is to get back to my old routine: 3 days at the gym during the week, and a walk, jog, bike, or gym day each day of the weekend. This weekend we went for a long walk on Saturday morning, and went to the gym for 2 hours on Sunday.
B- egg white omelet w/lf cheese, unsweetened soy milk
L- whole grain pasta w/marinara and some Parmesan, apple
S- almond butter
D- no clue. We didn't get a chance to go grocery shopping this weekend and are realllllly running low on staples. I hope we go tonight...
Activity- maybe just some pilates. I have a sh!tload of work and am having a crappy Monday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm still bouncing around the same 5 pounds as usual. I need to kick it into high gear and really make exercise a priority. It's been slacking the past week or two due to work. I also really need to watch it on the weekends. It's not that I eat more than normal, it's just that I don't stick to my normal nutrition, and I think it's biting me in the a$$.
My short term goals are more water (I drink a lot as it is, but feel like I should be aiming for a bit more) and more exercise. I also need to stop with the little indulgences here and there. They add up quickly. Plus, I find that if I allow myself an indulgence I'm more likely to keep allowing myself to have more as the week(s) go on.
I need to kick-start my workout plans again. I think I may try the elliptical again, even though it's not my favorite. But I want to mix up my time at the gym. I have plenty of videos at home, so I'm good on that front. I should be getting new sneakers delivered today, so that should be some motivation to get out there!
I know, but I have already gained everything I was supposed to and I still have a while to go so I was really trying to stay on track. Really, it's just too hard (or I'm too lazy).
B: a slice of banana bread
L: leftover turkey sandwich on wheat with spring mix greens & mayo
S: 3 thin mints
E: 30 day shred lvl 3 this morning. I need to workout harder & more often - like twice a day, my body just doesn't respond unless I'm jumping around all damn day, my metabolism can bite me.
I've lost 3lbs this month, really not a big deal cause I kick around about 5 normally. Unless it's 10+ I don't see it as progress! I need to drink more water too. Meh.
Breakfast: Cereal
Snack: Small slice of cake
Lunch: Taco Salad
Dinner: Potatoe Soup
Workout: Walk a mile
No plan for over the weekend. I only ate 2 meals a day if that, so I'd say I did well. Plus, I ran a mile through the airport due to a delayed flight -- so good exercise =D.
How much weight have you lost? Honestly, I didnt weigh myself to begin with and I havent for a while. I think I've lost a pound or so. I am doing this more to feel healthy and I have been feeling better.
Do you notice a difference in tone/strength/hunger? Yes. I can workout much more easily -- need to start uping it, Hunger is about the same though.
Will you set any new short term goals this month (more water, more work out, less meat more veggie, etc)? Only goal is to try to eat healier still. I need to not eat out as much.
Will you start a new/different workout plan? Same workout plan until it's warmer. Then I will kick it up to 2 miles (if my knee can handle it).
I haven't eaten anything yet today. I'm home sick and am super duper nauseaus so blah...im sure i will eat something eventually.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How much weight have you lost? down 3 pounds
Do you notice a difference in tone/strength/hunger? no, because I am not doing well on my activity =(
Will you set any new short term goals this month (more water, more work out, less meat more veggie, etc)? I need to cut out more carbs. I cut WAY back and am smart enough to know that I can't do NO carb but I need to at least cut down. I rely too much on pasta for meals....more water on the weekend.
Will you start a new/different workout plan? I need to get more strict on my work out plan. I just never feel well right now so I am afraid of puking all over the floor.
Breakfast: Honey Nut Cheerios w/skim milk, banana, 25 calorie hot chocolate
Lunch: English Muffin Pizza on whole wheat english muffin and 2% mozzarella, cherries
Snack: Low fat cottage cheese, Kashi TLC dark chocolate oatmeal cookie
Dinner: Turkey lasagna, salad
Activity: I just scrubbed the kitchen floor on my hands and knees. I think that counts for today!
How much weight have you lost? 1.4
Do you notice a difference in tone/strength/hunger? Not really.
Will you set any new short term goals this month (more water, more work out, less meat more veggie, etc)? Work out more!
Will you start a new/different workout plan? How about I will actually start one!
B-skinny bun, eggbeaters, slice o cheese, coffee
S-mixed frozen fruit (thawed)
L-a mix of veggies, chicken breast, quinoa, crystal lite... and a granola bar?
S-Chobani yogurt
D-IDK... wine.
*****Did you do what you planned yesterday?*****
Yep-C25K-week 4, day 3. hula hooped a bit while waiting for DH to get off the treadmill
What do you plan to do activity wise today? strength training, take doggie for walk around short block that will take 30 min. zzz...
How much weight have you lost? 4.6 lbs. (I also gained 3 at the beginning... , but ok, 1.6 loss)
Do you notice a difference in tone/strength/hunger? Toning-YES! Esp my knee area, strength-knees don't hurt as much, hunger-nah. BUT... I need to reevaluate what I eat when cause I think it is affecting my workouts-ie-protein before/after workout due to the intensity for me.
Will you set any new short term goals this month (more water, more work out, less meat more veggie, etc)? Goals-each month I do 5-6 days/wk of workout-I will get a pandora bead... Also, see above answer...
Will you start a new/different workout plan? I'm going to alter my strength training plan... ie-instead of stationary lunges, do traveling ones and add more weight. Do the same type of workout, but at a higher level-pushups on the yoga ball with legs out further...
Sounds like a good dinner to me!
sad when you can't remember what's in the fridge---except THAT! Then again, makes for quick cleanup!
Me too! I've been eying my bottle of DiSaronno on the counter and keep wondering if I should just have that for a meal one of these days lol.
B- whole wheat bagel w/fat-free cream cheese and trop50 oj
S- banana, sugar-free pudding, south beach protein bar (not all 3 before lunch, lol)
L- healthy choice rotini and marinara
D- weight watchers smart ones santa fe rice something or other
*****Did you do what you planned yesterday?*****
No, but then again I havent been very good with the Dine and Dash lately :-( Although I have been doing good :-)
What do you plan to do activity wise today? None - not feeling well
How much weight have you lost? 10.6
Do you notice a difference in tone/strength/hunger? Some...but considering I have 90 more pounds to go, not a whole lot yet. I can notice that I've lost weight, but that's about it.
Will you set any new short term goals this month (more water, more work out, less meat more veggie, etc)? Work out more, less sodium.
Will you start a new/different workout plan? I'm going to make my workouts more consistent...not being working out on a regular basis, and I need to work better at this.
I've been tracking my sodium on SparkPeople. I'm sure I'm not getting a completely accurate number, but I can usually stay around 2300mg/day. It's hard though, especially when going out to eat. I was shocked when I started noticing how much sodium is in things.
yes this! I DO use a little salt to cook BUT nothing compared to what is in these frozen lunches. . .I think I may start just making bigger dinners so that I can bring my own cooking to work for lunches
I have lost a couple of pounds. I'm getting better about sticking to the diet every day. I need a motivation event, and we have a summer getaway that I want to be bikini ready for. Can I lose 30lbs in 3 months? idk
My hunger is subsiding because I am back to my small meals all day schedule. I am not hungry at night, until J makes something and the smell wakes up my taste buds.
I am trying to get more walking in this month. I may start taking an earlier train and walk from the train station instead of taking the shuttle. We'll see. I have to get well first.
Are you doing any special "diet" or sticking to a particular eating plan? 30lbs in 3 months would be really tough, but it's probably possible. . . Sometimes I wish I could take a month off of work, go to a fitness camp, and get to the place I want to be weight-wise, and then just have to maintain when I get back. But that is in no way realistic. Boo.
