(Day 19) Saturday, October 15, 2011
Today is my make up day for yesterday's Fast food failure. I was doing so good (1240 calories!) and then after that fast food, BAM, calories jumped all the way to 2,100. What in the hell! I even went Chicken Grill Sandwich instead of the regular Whopper. I'll have to be really, really good today.
So, my plan right now is to workout on an empty tank, and go for at least 40 minutes. I know by doing this I won't tone any muscles or whatever, but I am sure as heck I will burn a bunch of fat. I just finished drinking a glass of water too, so at least there's hydration in my system.
Oh, and yesterday I felt so bad after the fast food because after the meal, I went to church and this lady I haven't seen in a while said to me: "Wow, you lost some weight didn't you?". I have NEVER heard anyone say this to me before. I was SO pleased with myself, and I felt horrible at the same time.
According to my calendar, there is about 5 weeks left until the Thanksgiving family gathering. I want to lose another 10 pounds so I can surprise even more people, especially those bitter aunts that scoff at me about my apparent pudginess. I'll show those ladies!
Have a great day everyone!
Day 19 - When is your favourite body part to work on? Why?
Right now, it has to be my abs and chest. Because I'm big, the two parts on my body that I hate those most is my big belly and rather volumptious chest. Although it's not as pronounced as it was before, I did have a bad case of man boobs! I want to tone both these areas doing pushups and crunches - which are both easy, and painful, and quite effective if done correctly.
Just a quick update for you guys! It's around
1:25PM and I just finished cooking my breakfast. My workout was fantastic. I think without food, I burn tons more calories because my body was on fire! And I didn't feel too dizzy or exhaust. I learned that water is such a great hunger surpressor, so I made sure to drink tons of water during the workout. I'll post a pick of my breakfast soon!
My Breakfast!
After a bad dinner, I decided to treat myself to a healthy breakfast. It was around 400 calories because I didn't have any chicken breasts so I had to use thighs (otherwise it would been closer to 300!). However, it still fresh, and on a very healthy, nutty whole wheat slice, so I can say this breakfast was a complete success!
Snacks!
Half of a Banana. I figured I should munch on something before dinner. 50 Calories doesn't seem bad at all!
Hungry and Thirsty? Canteloupes are the answer!
My Lunch!
It was a simple salad with chunks of half-serving chicken thighs in it. Unfortunately I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. Sorry! I'm making a better version of the salad for dinner so keep your eyes peeled for the next meal!
My Dinner!
=( I forgot to take a picture again. Sorry. It was Salad, Tomatoes, and Chicken Thigh. It was really good
