Ahhhh Long weekends are the best.
Yesterday we had a big night with friends over and lots of food. I need to make a better plan before we do that again, I don't need to eat 3.5 slices of pizza. that is just crazy talk.
Today has been better. Food is good. I got convinced to go out for lunch again, which was poor on my part, but I'm not going to let that ruin my day. She did try to get me to go out for dinner with them again this evening, but I told her that my diet doesn't allow for eating out that much in one day, so we would have to pass. Felt quite proud of that actually.
I have 50lbs to go right now, and that's a big goal for 3 months. I can't be waisting it on eating out when we have a fridge full of great veggies that we bought yesterday!
Husbeast is at the office today, so I'll be making dinner and I'm about to go have a shower when this is done.
I walked the dog for 30minutes at a good clip this morning. Hip is feeling good. No soreness from the walking. I then did my weights for the day. Very proud.
Bent over row:
right arm: 3 sets 10 reps
left arm: 3 sets 10 reps
Military press
right arm: 3 sets 5 reps, 7 reps, 8 reps
left arm: 3 sets 5 reps, 7 reps, 8 reps
Upright row - 2 handed:
3 sets - 10 reps
Bicep curls:
right arm: 3 sets 4 reps
left arm: 3 sets 4 reps
I have my food planned out for the day, so I'm going to post it now so that I don't have to worry - this IS what I'm going to do for the day and that is that.
****O.M.G. I just went to the website for La Mad and looked at the calories. Sweet zombie jebuz, good think I worked out today. That... is crazy. I'm going to have to really buckle down this week. REALLY.BUCKLE.DOWN. Yeah, eating out is just really not worth it at all.

Saturday Success!
Got up this morning to a hearty breakfast, did about an hour of weight lifting, had a good lunch at Specs, bought a valentines gift for the Husbeast, helped a friend make some "diaper cakes" for a baby shower that is coming up, got some great food at the market and came home and had almost the same dinner as last night, because it was so stink'n awesome. Watched some BL on netflix (Season of Sam), and am posting this up before reading in bed.
Awesome day.
Food:
bfast (590)
eggs - 155
1.5 jenni-o sweet italian turkey sausage - 240
green onion - 5
2 slices toast - 100
1T HP sauce - 60
coffee - 30
lunch (596)
1.5c coleslaw (vinegar kind) - 140
4 deviled egg halves - 256
2 sm bags of pop chips - 200
diet rootbeer - 0
snack
coffee - 30
snack 2
Chiobani lemon yogurt - 140
dinner (511)
1/2 spaghetti squash - 44
1.5 jenni-o spicy italian sausage - 240
onion - 12
pasta sauce - 70
2 slices bread - 100
1T icbinb - 45
dessert (300)
3/4c ice cream - 200
1/2c cherries (frozen) - 100
total calories - 2,167
So, I've been hitting the 1900 - 2300 calories range for this week. I certainly could have gone without the yogurt this afternoon, or the dessert tonight. I had forgotten about that yogurt actually, when I decided that I was going to have ice cream tonight. A good lesson to track in one place all my weekend food.
However, I am feeling good about this calorie range. I'm eating well - there was some "junk" in there, but pop chips and diet pop are a significant change in my dietary habits. I mean. I LOOKED at the calories on the bags of chips before deciding. Whoa. Who is this masked woman?
I did one of the quick online basal metabolic rate tests. I'm sure that this are not entirely accurate, but I do think that they are a pretty close range enough to be usable.
My daily calories burned are 2094. That is should I lay in bed and do nothing (might I remind you we live in a three story townhome, so I see a good amount of stairs in a day). So for now, I'm going to aim for good foods, and a calorie range of 1,900 - 2,300.
I'm going to be checking back in on this BMR every 10lbs lost, so that I can stay on top of the less calories that I need to haul my decreasing a$$ around each day!!
I'm excited for my Weigh-in tomorrow - my first "goal weight" weigh in is on Wednesday. I'm kinda pumped.... Icelandic Ponies here I come!!
And now... for my inspiration, I shall instate the PONY OF THE DAY.....todays icelandic pony is brought to you by this website.
adorable!
Awesome day.

Back to Training!
Weights today!!!! I was joined by a girlfriend of mine as we went to a session on power/weightlifting today. I didn't know how I was going to hold up in the hip department, but it was excellent. Once I'm done here, it's going to get iced and stretched out again.
We were three from 11 - 1pm lifting with lots of other people, so it was low rep, high on speed and power. Great full body workout, and I'm tired! Lunch that was provided, it was low on nutrition and high on calories, but since we were working so hard I'm not going to be too concerned about it.
The Husbeast made an amazing breakfast for us. eggs cooked in tomatoes with toast. SO delish.
Tonight we have dinner out with friends for a birthday - we are going to go for sushi. My plan is to make sure to eat the leftovers from yesterday before we go, so that I'm slightly full, and then drink a LOT of water/tea to help keep me filled up while I'm there. But I'm looking forward to some spicy tuna, sashimi and edemame!
Food (so far):
bfast
1 lrg tomato - 33
1 egg - 78
.4 oz cheese - 36
2 slices toast - 100
1T icbinb - 45
1tsp peanut butter - 47
coffee - 30
snack
chocolate chip cookie lara bar - 230
lunch
3 med slices pepperoni pizza - 850
snack
coffee - 30
pre dinner
2oz Chicken breast - 85
1T franks Red hot wing sauce - 0
1/4c cauliflower - 6
2 beets - 44
Total - 1,614
My estimation for this evening:
3 pc spicy tuna roll - 200
2 pc california roll - 75
4 salmon sashimi - 156
1/2c edemame - 29
1 glass champagne - 78
estimated total: 538
so if this happens it will be approx 2,152
So that is what I'm shooting for!!

Meatless Monday, Weights & Weigh In
MEATLESS Monday! I come home at lunch and watch The Chew most days - it is bliss being so close to the office. Today they had meatless monday as the theme and it fit well into today's eating, so we decided to skip the meat tonight at dinner to round out the day as veggie only.
After work I got in a 20min walk with the dog, and then hit my weights program. I was determined to get in three sets. AND I DID!!
Set 1.
10 sumo squats with KB between legs /crunches - 50
15 KB swings / planks - 15 count
10 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm /wall sits - 25 count
10 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm / push ups - 20
Set 2.10 sumo squats with KB between legs / crunches - 40
15 KB swings / planks - 12 count
10 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm / wall sits - 25 count
10 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm / push ups - 20
Set 3.10 sumo squats with KB between legs / crunches - 50
15 KB swings / planks - 12 count
10 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm / wall sits - 25 count
10 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm / push ups - 20
And here I am... all done and sweaty.
The dog was less impressed......
Food was much better today, ate well, and enjoyed my food, but didn't feel panicy or like I needed to consume more. I saw the treats that were out on my co-workers desk, but really didn't have much interest. I was really busy today, so that always helps.
Food:
bfast
Liberte Yogurt - Apple Crisp - 270
Coffee x 2 - 60
lunch
5 Raw Almonds - 35
1/2 box Toasted Pine nut couscous - 345
1/2c curry lentil soup - 150
Edemame - 55
Snack
Better Oats oatmeal - 160
dinner

1T ice cream - 25
1T baileys liquor - 24
Total: 1,528
Weigh In:
The good stuff.... I weighed in this morning with low expectations, that were not unfounded. My feet and hands were puffy, I was retaining water from all the salt that I had on Saturday and Sunday and I could feel it. My feet were swollen all day today in fact, it wasn't until I finished my weights that I finally felt mostly normal.

Couch 2 5 K - Day 3
I made it to Saturday morning. and I've already done a days with of chores and its only noon.
8.30am we dropped the car off for a service and upgrade for some recall that needed doing. The Husbeast and I went off to the HEB for an early morning shop for the next 10-12 days of food. Its so much less savage in there with fewer people.
Beets, cabbage, onions, potatoes, oranges, onions, kale, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, ground turkey (2 pks), hot sausage (1pk), shrimp, provalone & sharp chedder sliced cheese, better oats oatmeal packages (5 boxes various...spiced plum is one of my favs! if you haven't tried it), frozen mixed veg, frozen brussel sprouts steamers (2), flavored couscous packages (4), pasta sauce (2), whole wheat pasta, whole wheat gnocchi, heinz beans (3), Amys tomato bisque soup (4), Natural Peanut butter, TP, ibuprofen, kitchen sponge (2), gluclosamine.
A couple of other things I can't remember... $152.00... not too shabby.
Evening meals planned for this weekend and coming week:
bubble and squeek with sausage (mashed potato with chopped cooked cabbage and kale)
Couscous & acorn squash
Spaghetti Squash, pasta sauce with ground turkey
Beans & toast
Soup & grilled cheese
"jacket potatoes" stuffed with tuna and mixed veg
gnocchi and pasta sauce
Couscous with shrimp & brussel sprouts
Tammys "dog food". Sauteed ground turkey, chopped onion with taco seasoning with frozen mixed veg over rice.
Pasta with sauce & brussel sprouts
Need to stop and get some more eggs and bread... they were forgotten and I love eggs, beans and toast for lunches.
Running:
Got home and called my running buddy, was over there at 10 and we did day three of the couch 2 5K. Running portion - 2.52km. Walking extra 1.6km. Total of 4.12km for me today.
It's just so much easier to get out and do it when there is someone to go with. I'm still enjoying it. I know that its going to get harder, I just have to keep reminding myself that it is not supposed to be easy. Just get out and do it.
Weights:
YES!!!!! I did it!!!

Weights Wednesday!
First off, food was a good deal better today. More on that later.
Bed too late last night, I'm going to be tucked in and reading before 10 tonight. Have my water and am ready to hit the hay now.
Today's exercise was with my 25lb kettle bell and my Husbeast. He is a big boy, and he has some weight to lose as well. Of course he is going to kick the ass out of dropping 20lbs before I can even turn around and get a sniff at a 5lb loss. No fair .... stupid male testosterone. Side note. Is anyone else out there finding that testosterone underarm "deodorant" stick commercial as hilarious as I do?? I can just see some mom yelling...."STAY OUT OF DADDY'S ARMPIT THERE ARE DRUGS IN THERE!!!!". haha crazy ol world.
Okay.... workout. So we worked one on and one off. While one was working with the KB, the other was doing some other exercise - just knocking out as many as you could in the time it took the other to finish the KB exercise.
Each KB exercise took about 30-45 seconds (guestimate), so that was a damn long plank and wallsit, just saying!!! I was tired and sweaty when we were done. Also, in hindsight, we are going to need to walk the dog first, or get some sort of warm up, it was hard to just jump right to it.
Set 1.
15 sumo squats with KB between legs
crunches
25 KB swings
planks
15 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm
wall sits
15 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm

Set 2
10 sumo squats with KB between legs

15 KB swings
planks
10 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm
wall sits
10 KB High Clean pulls - Right arm

Legs are feeling it for sure. More stretching tonight before bed and some rest is going to be excellent.
Food:
Lunch
Subway ft long – wheat bread, roasted chicken, shredded cheese, ranch, mustard, veg – 554
