Hey,
Thank you so much! You're right - I should add something substantial to the salad - and I actually started doing that because there is NO way I can starve my self!!! :)
Thank you so much for dropping by my diary!!

Working from home today! LOTS to do! I did HIIT this morning!
I'm wondering if this is enough for the day though!
SO here's how I did it: (I did a count down so that's why its looks funny!)

Start at 18 mins warm up
15 min 20 second sprint @ 10 mph
Walk @ 3.5 mph
13 min 20 second sprint @ 10 mph
Walk @ 3.5 mph
11 min 20 second sprint @ 10 mph
Walk @ 3.5 mph
09 min 20 second sprint @ 10 mph
Walk @ 3.5 mph
07 min 20 second sprint @ 10 mph
Walk @ 3.5 mph
05 min 20 second sprint @ 10 mph
Walk @ 3.5 mph
03 min 20 second sprint @ 10 mph
Walk @ 3.5 mph
01 min 20 second sprint @ 10 mph

SO over all I did 8 sprints! I want to get to 10 (like I used to last year but I want to make it gradual so I don't stop) I think I'll do 8 sprints twice a week for 4-5 months and then increase to 10.
I'd really appreciate some feedback.
I weighed myself this morning - I'm 132.2!!! I was SO SO SO upset - I've been good with food and workouts :( Granted, this weekend I did get a LITTLE out of control BUT not enough to GAIN almost 2 pounds!!!
My husband did get a little mad at me for weighing myself everyday and getting upset..he said it depends on a lot of things like the time of dinner last night etc etc - (I ate later than I normally eat)

I hope the scale is kinder to me next couple of days!

Back to work!

your sprints are looking good, your husband is right, it is not a good idea to weigh everyday especially if you find it upsetting, It is normal for your weight to fluctuate (mine can go up and down by around 1kg each day)

the fluctuations can be caused by a lot of variables not just when you last ate but also factor involved with your last workout etc like dehydration or fliud retention in the muscles after a hard workout. My weight is often up for a day or 2 after a hard heavy leg training day while I have DOMS.
 
Hello I just wanted to say hi and thank you for taking the time to read my diary!!!! Keep up the good work! At some point you wrote down the menu you had for the day wondering if that was enough, I notice that you didn't really have any proteins on there, I find that proteins help me eat less.

Thank you so much - That helps a lot! I'm sure I'm over reacting! :) I didn't realize that leg training could also influence the scale weight! BUT I can see that happening - you just 'feel' heavy! I have those days - when I KNOW that I'm going to be heavy. :) Thank you!

Hey,
You're right! I should watch out for the protein!! Thank you! :)
 
I'm up for my 5:00 AM meeting! (fun)

SO far, had my coffee and oatmeal for breakfast!
Hopefully we have a snow day today too...! :)
 
Hiii!

I've been MIA because we were on the road the last 2-3 days! We drove to Oklahoma from NJ! Was fun. I
Funny thing is that I LOVE to travel but I hate changing my food habits etc that come with all the traveling! :)
I was 130.2 yesterday! I don't understand why I'm not losing! I eat low cal stuff (I count calories religiously and don't go over 1000 (NET) per day and I exercise and burn enough! I hope this is some kind of plateau!
I can't wait to be in my 120(S) AGAIN!!
 
I've decided to just do the challenges. I don't think I bring value to me or anyone else by writing in this diary so BYE everyone :)
