rough morning

Well..I did my weights last nite for 30 minutes around 8pm as well as my abs and squats..not sure if it was too much too late or what, but i woke up in the middle of the night w/ a tension headache from hell...I didnt sleep much at all so i never made my walk at 6am. I got a little shut eye this morning and I did 10 minutes of jump rope, 10 min on my walking machine, 30 jumping jacks, my hand weights, abs, and some kick boxing...all added up to about 40 min of exercise. Im planning on taking a walk w/ the kids when my son gets home. I have to say the pumped up work out woke me up..but i know ill be dyin tonight.
Food so far:
B: 1 small omelet w/ ham & cheese
1/2 banana, coffee w/ milk

Snack: 1/2 banana w/ 1tbsp of PB on a whole wheat piece of bread

not sure what else today...gotta go to the grocery store to pick up some fish for dinner and some stuff for the house...ill catch everyone later!
 
hey K. thanks for the post :)
but don't be so hard on yourself, like you said it's the week before your period so your probably rataining water(sucks to be a woman sometimes :rolleyes: )or it could be bc your doing weights and your getting some muscle.what ever it is it will work its self out im sure.
i always wrk out in the morning(and again at night)it really gets you going :)
heres to a good day and to that scale moving down tomorow :D
(just a thought do you measure your self bc sometimes you go down in inches and not wt)
 
I agree with Smiley, you should do your measurements. I know when I was going through those tough times the scale said I hadn't lost but the measuring tape said a different story. I think you're doing great!!
 
Thanks ladies..you're awesome..thanks for the upbeat motivation. I think im down today because i missed my walk due ot my headache. I still kinda have the headache and i think its from all the jumpin I did this morning in my work out. Im going to do some just plain cardio tonight and take tomorrow as a new day. I think im going to redo my measurements..i havent done them in a while so ill give that a try. I just went and did a huge grocery shopping and brought home some really good choices. I found these granola bars that are made up of roasted peanuts and some honey.. not too bad on the sugars and definetely a good boost of energy and protein for a mid day snack.

Thanks again ladies.. and i wont let it get me down
 
the rest of my day

The rest of my day I felt better...did go out to lunch and had an awesome salad that was done like a steak n cheese but no bread & it was lean sliced beef and 1 oz of cheese, onions, mushrooms, lots of greens & a ff honey mustard.

Snack: 1 sweet n salty granola bar (they are awesome... has roasted nuts w/ honey..very good)

Dinner: 1/2 a swordfish steak on the grill w/ ginger teriyaki marinade..mmmm, asparagus, and butternut squash cooked w/ 2 tbsp of butter (i didnt eat that much butter, just cooked in it) and cinnamon and nutmeg. 1/2 piece of whole wheat bread.

Dessert: angel food cake sliced w/ berries and ff whipped topping... wicked good.

Im way under my cal today... Im going to have something just not sure what...definetely something w/ high protein.
