I am very sore today. I fell down the stairs last night. Couldn't believe it! Was on my way out the door for a jog and was rushing and slipped on the top step and tumbled all the way down. I'm ok except for a sore back, neck and head and a few scratches. I couldn't believe it!

I didn't want to miss a workout today so I took my dog for a 45 min walk and was pretty sore so that was it for me today. Just lots of advil and heat.

Breakfast
Plain oatmeal
Skim milk

Lunch
Plain low fat Yogurt w/ tbsp honey
Smart ones entree

Dinner
2 chicken legs
1/4 cup whole wheat pasta with red peppers, garlic and olives
Skinny cow

Snack
Had about 2 tbsp banana bread batter....had a couple tastes while I was baking tonight
 
Oh gosh, glad you didn't get hurt worse but sorry to hear you are hurt at all! I think one of the scariest things in life is that split second where you find yourself off-balance on the stairs and think you're going to fall... my heart is always pounding after a moment like that. Take care of yourself!!! Oh, and sorry if my last post came across as a little self-centered... it wasn't intentional, but after I re-read it definitely sounded like that. :doh:

I was trying to share how I keep myself motivated... I should have just said be sure to take some time to look back at how far you've come and how good you're doing, and the lack of desire to go back to where you started will help keep you moving in the right direction!
 
Hey Jesais,

Just joined this site and read your diary. Inspirational. Keep up the excellent work. I wish that I had 1/4 as much discipline as you do. Maybe I can develop it.

Agreed MysticBlue! There is just NO way to be sexy falling down the stairs! Haha

Feeling much better today, thank you. Think taking it easy yesterday and putting some heat on everything really helped.

Laura! I didn't take it as self centered at all! I always enjoy reading your posts. I think we are similar in many ways. Not taken that at all :) I always appreciate your input.
 
So I had a chat with my bf this morning. I brought up that I'd like to get toned. I know the weight loss will come, I'm more concerned about getting my body back in shape. He used to be a personal trainer so I asked him his honest opinion.

He said I was doing well with eating. One suggestion would be to increase my protein intake.

In regards to working out he said I'm doing more of a maintenance plan. I was suprised to hear that. But looking back on it, boot camp is really the only workout where I feel completely exhausted after.

So this is the new workout plan we created:

Mon
1hr Boot camp

Tues
1/2 hr leg weights
1/2 lane swimming
1hr leg/ab sculpting class at gym

Wed
1hr boot camp

Thurs
1/2 leg weights
1/2 lane swim
1hr jogging

Fri
OFF

Sat
1hr spinning class
1hr run

Sun
1hr run
1/2hr leg weights
1/2hr lane swim

Right now that seems like a LOT to me! But I want my toned body back. I used to run long distance and do competstive swimming and played soccer. I want that body back. I want to feel healthy again. I still have about 40-50 pounds to lose so I have a long way to go.

Anyway, going to start my new schedule tomorrow. May have to make some adjustment. My bf said I very well may have to increase my calorie intake since I'll be working out a lot more. So we'll see.
