So created this blog 2 years ago with the idea of losing weight for the sister-in-laws wedding. And while I did loose some weight it was primarily through participating in a cleanse. Which is to say that the minute I began eating again the weight came right back on. I tried starting up this blog again, and again stopped with the diet, exercise, and journaling. That was over a year ago? And here I am...
Feeling chubby and suffering from food hang-overs. Bleahhh. So when Angeleen said she was starting a health/weight blog and was looking for accountability I thought, "hey, maybe that's what's missing. I have had no accountability." Well, here we go. Gonna change the status of this blog from private to ::gulping sigh:: public. Yikes.
So, don't know if this will interest anyone, but I will be recording various health minutia like weight, food and water intake and exercise.
Today's stats:
Weight: shoulda done it first thing this morning and didn't, will record tomorrow MORNING.
Foodage:
Breaking fast: 2 cups of coffee with heavy cream and cinnamon, 2 pieces of vegetable fritatta (onion, sun-dried tomato, mushroom, and spinach cooked in bacon fat till tender, add 6 eggs whisked with heavy cream, salt and pepper, top with parmesan and broil till puffed and golden- perfectly legal Sommersizing food. Heh, I love this "diet"). Finished with 24 oz. of water.
Snack: apple and 16 oz. water
So far so good. Now to exercise...
Exercise:
Today's Crossfit suggests:
"Cindy"
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Squats
OR
"Mary"
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 One legged squats, alternating
15 Pull-ups
Having no place to do pull-ups I think I'll try my own combo:
"Mardy with a twist"
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
5 Dumb-bell over head lifts (used 15#)
10 Handstand push-ups
15 Squats
And should most likely keep a trash can near by for throwing up in.
Exercise update: holy crap!
Rounds completed: 11.5 (timer went off before I completed my last round of squats though I went ahead and completed them anyhow).
I can't believe I attempted a Crossfit workout even a small, modified one such as this. I found myself giggling (manically?) through the 3rd rep at my insanity and stupid "go big or go home" mantra. I need a better mantra. Maybe, "get thee behind me Satan!"
I ended up modifying "the Mardy" even further... my handstand push-ups were totally pathetic, with my elbows bending maybe a half an inch so I changed this to a a slow 10 count handstand (note for later: handstands are easier to do when concentrating on keeping the abs tight). Still by the end I could barely lift the dumb bells, the handstands left me breathless and the squats, oh sweet mother the squats! I'd complete 6 squats and would have to pause for a moment to remember what number came next. All in all it felt good to push myself, then I decided I needed chocolate to recoup...
Snack: 7 squares chocolate (milk chocolate with fruit and nuts- not Sommersize legal, need to keep to dark chocolate), which turns out to be about 200 calories, so... I played on the new Wii Fit Plus till I burned off the offending buggers (an hour).
Lunch: 3 ham and cheddar roll ups, a handful of homemade pickle chips and spicy mustard for dipping. 16 oz. ice water
Dinner: was tuckered and didn't have the umph to eat. Wanted to keep the metabolism up and running though so... apple, 16 oz. ice water.
Off to see Avatar tonight so will most likely indulge in a Diet Coke with lots of ice. And that is the end of Day 1!
...or so I thought.
Late Night Snack: came home from Avatar (fun movie BTW) starving! Protein anyone? Apparently the vat of Coke Zero that the movie theater calls a small didn't fill the meat hole in my stomach. Swung through Muchas Gracias and got a Carnitas burrito. Now eating a burrito at midnight usually not a good idea, BUT I just ate the all meat filling. No adverse side effects. Next time should probably just go to bed or eat at a proper time.
