A cheat meal once a week. I like that description. Me, I'll have a cheat meal of just food or a cheat meal of just beer. Cuts my calories down. :)

There are some cultures where they take naps in the afternoon, even in the office. The workers will lay their heads on their desks, turn out the lights, take a power nap. Wouldn't that be cool if we did that in the USA?

I'm sorry you are feeling discouraged, but you seem to have the right attitude - you are willing to pick yourself back up and keep going.
 
Patty, I say we start a Siesta movement!

We do have a couch at reception at work...but I think the others wouldn't like to so much if I napped there.

Today I honestly thought of pulling a Costanza and sleeping under my desk... :D

Did well with food today...although what I found strange was that I wasn't really that hungry today. I was just a bottomless pit yesterday, and after the two workouts yesterday, I thought for sure I'd be really hungry today...but not so much. Normally the day after a workout I'm much hungrier than usual.

9:00am : Protein shake with EvoPro, milk and frozen blueberries (was in a rush)
11:15am: Apple, 1/4 cup raw almonds, yogurt
12:30pm: Tuna wrap (tuna, reduced fat mayo & alfalfa sprouts on a whole wheat and flax wrap) and a plum
4:00pm: Another tuna wrap, large baby spinach salad (8 cups) with olive/flax oil & balsamic vinegar
6:30 pm: A few baby carrots and a couple of spoonfuls of cottage cheese
8:30pm: Cod filet with a red pepper, yogurt for dessert
11:30pm: a few spoonfuls of cottage cheese

And I only had 3 cups of coffee today (4 yesterday)...so I'm into my second week of reduced coffee consumption - yay for me.

I went for a 30min walk at lunch and took the stairs up afterwards...not a whole lot, but it's something.

I got my new supply of Greens today, so I'm pleased to be back on those with my regular supplements.

I have a big day tomorrow with two workouts again. Now I'm off to bed!(yawn) :)

Gooooood afternoon...today is going fairly well. Forgot my gym stuff as I was taking my son to school this morning, but I went back for it...luckily the school is only 5min away.

Took the stairs up to work this morning again...and had a pretty good workout at lunch (weight workout #2). Started off with just a quick 5min on a stationary bike to warm my legs up a little...and it must have been the bike because I found the tension kinda tough...very strange (I am a cyclist...well...I guess I'm not currently one...a former cyclist awaiting his triumphant return...yeah, that's it)...anyway...did the following workout

Single-leg presses with a balance disc - 3x10 reps each leg
Hamstring curls on a stability ball (SHELC's as Steve calls 'em) - 3x10
Standing barbell press - 5x5 reps
Lat pulldowns - 5x5 reps
Bench press - 3x8 reps
Barbell rows - 3x8 reps

Food for today:
8:00am - 1.5cups of blueberry oatmeal (with protein)
10:15am - Apple, Yogurt with 2 tsp of flax seeds mixed in
11:00am - Evopro protein shake
12:00-12:35 workout
12:35 - Whey protein shake
1:15pm - Tuna wrap (tuna, reduced fat mayo, alfalfa sprouts) and 1/2 cup each of broccoli, red pepper and cucumber with olive/flax oil and balsamic vinegar

So far 3 cups of coffee today (1 half&half creamer and 1 milk in each) and lots of water.

My food today has been a little more protein-heavy than most days...the oatmeal I had has protein powder, I had a protein shake after my morning snack cause I was still hungry, then I had a full scoop of whey protein after my workout (I forgot that I put a full rather than a half scoop) which is 45g of protein per scoop. I may end up having more protein today than usual, but today is a tough workout day, so no problemo.

Man....my posts are getting longer...I'm talking too much these days...sheesh :rolleyes:

It's all good though doc -
Looks like a great day of food and exercise! It feels GOOD being on track doesn't it?
:D
 
Thanks M :)

Yeah...it does feel good to be on track...the hard part is being consistent and keeping it up to see results. I'm feeling pretty good about the plan...
 
Yes, it can certainly be difficult to be consistent. You're doing so well though. Don't doubt that for a second!
Your food and your workout sounds great.
 
LMAO...well I'll do my best...but Ontario is is pretty freakin big, you know...

What do you suggest Mal...satellite tracking maybe...?

ya know how to whistle don't ya?

Oh wait - she's not a dog or a cab - she wouldn't show up just cuz you whistled.

jusst yell - Yooo Sunny free beer :)

Hey, there will be no being gentle. I could have been. But he keeps insisting otherwise, so now he has to face the consequences. I'm positive he's grossly underestimated me.
I'd like to introduce you to my cat o' nine tails... I call her Kitty...
 
so....back to food...

Food for today:
8:00am - 1.5cups of blueberry oatmeal (with protein)
10:15am - Apple, Yogurt with 2 tsp of flax seeds mixed in
11:00am - Evopro protein shake
12:00-12:35 workout
12:35 - Whey protein shake
1:15pm - Tuna wrap (tuna, reduced fat mayo, alfalfa sprouts) and 1/2 cup each of broccoli, red pepper and cucumber with olive/flax oil and balsamic vinegar
4:30pm - 1 cup basmati rice, one cup of pinto beans (cooked in my crockpot) and about a tbsp of salsa for some flavour
5:45pm - 1/3 cup cottage cheese, baby carrots and an orange

Still only 3 coffees today - which is good. Hopefully tonight isn't too much of a killer class, but if it is...it'll be a lot of calories burned! Sweet! :cool:
