Backwards Progress + What I Didn't Do

Happy hump day!  I'd love to start this off by saying that my scale is a lying whore, but I can't, she's an honest whore and I hate her this week.  Ironically enough the word of the week for my Biggest Loser contest is "Progress."  Sonofabitch.  Backwards progress or is it backward progress, fuck if I know.  I'm up 1.3 pounds which sucks a big one.  Surprisingly enough, I'm not mad at myself because I know what I didn't do and I know why no loss this week.  So I'll just take this as a challenge to make next week my bitch.  In my defense I was out of town this past weekend AND came back home on Sunday with a cold that kept me from gymming on Monday and Tuesday (my two best gym days!).

Word of the week shoulda been horseshit.
Also, I figured this would be a good opportunity to give you a little glimpse into what I have been doing/eating, which has seems to be working quite well for me.  Plus, a few of you have asked in comments and I don't want you to think I'm ignoring your ass!

So, exercise wise, here's what I try to follow:

Monday
5:30am gym, 30 minutes on the elliptical, biceps + back
6:15pm one hour of hot yoga (to the sweat drop down my balls boobs)

Tuesday
5:30am gym, 30 minutes elliptical, triceps + chest
5:30pm body pump w/ my bff, typically ending in spaghetti arms/legs

Wednesday
5:30am gym, 30 minutes elliptical, shoulders + abs

Thursday
5:30am gym, 30 minutes elliptical, legs legs legs

Friday
5:30am gym, 45-60 minutes elliptical only

Now when I say try, I mean try.  If I don't have time I don't have time, I'm not gonna stress over it.  I figure if I'm there I'm doing better than if I'm not there.  When it comes to food I'm as mindful as I can be.  It's a huge help that my husband is a healthy guy, which means we typically don't have a house full of crap.

Breakfast
8 oz of 1% milk
1 scoop of Muscle Milk ("Ma! Where's my protein?!" Don't know whatthefuckI'mtalkingabout? Google that shit.)
Daily vitamin
Folic Acid (pre-baby baby)







Lunch
This is an iffy one, but it usually consists of a yogurt, some kinda grain (brown rice or a sandwich thin), some kinda fruit, and a granola bar of sorts.  Today's lunch is complete with 2 "Ones" (aka prunes haha).  Why some marketing mastermind didn't put them in double packs and call them "Twos" is beyond me, woulda been fucking brilliant.  Either way, I'm eating two of those bastards.







Dinner

Once again, I luck out by the fact that my husband is a healthy eater.  It's not always the same, but usually consists of a lean meat (fish, chicken, tuna, venison) and some veggies.  I try to avoid carbs with dinner.  And I rarely have dessert, but if I'm craving it I'll something like granny smith apple slices and then shoot peanut butter spiderwebs all over that thang.

Now I just have to do all the shit I outlined above in such a detailed manner and not fuck up next week when weigh in time rolls around.  If I gain again next week you have my full permission to punch me, straight shot, right to the babymaker.


Outfit of the day!

Happy hump!

  1. Wow! You're a workin' out fool! I wanna be you when I grow up =) ... So just one more question =) ... Do you count calories or anything along with everything else - or do you just try to eat as healthy as possible. This is something I am debating... I am doing the infamous cleanse here in a few days and my goal is to stay eating as "clean" as possible afterwards - just trying to decide if I want to do calorie counting as well ... Sorry, I know these questions probably get annoying after awhile =)

    1. Pshh! Not annoying! This is my 10th post, ask whatever you want, I'm down. I do count calories. I use MyPlate (just the free version) and try to keep track. Most days I'm eating so much of the same that I'm not crazy worried, but I find it super handy when an unexpected event comes along and I need to figure out what I can afford to eat/drink. I'd suggest doing it just so you can really develop the good habits you want to maintain.

    1. They were small so I needed two. In my defense, I didn't eat them at the same time!
