Day 3 recap

Breakfast: 2 waffles with golden syrup

25 minutes into my 30 minute ride to the soccer pitch I noticed my phone was blinking. At the next light I took a look… the fields were closed. Time for plan B. All I had to do was come up with plan B…

• 20 minutes on the Bowflex
• 4 mile run
• 1/2 mile walk (cooldown)
• 20 minutes on the Bowflex

Then it was time to weigh myself…

Yep, it shows me as being down 8lbs in the last 2 days… a 3.7% loss. Of course, this was before lunch, and directly after exercise, so add a couple back on, but still it’s looking good. For the others in the contest… don’t expect this again from me, my target is 205-208, so I’m almost (back) there…

Lunch - Harris Teeter Tomato & Rice soup

Dinner -Red Curry Rice, Tortilla chips, Raspberry Yogurt, strawberries

Day 2 recap

Breakfast - Weetabix flakes & soy milk

3.5 mile run / jog / walk.  Why not a 3.5 mile run?  Well, I ran wearing some new tracksuit pants, which apparently were not designed for running.  Yes, I had my own Janet Jackson moments as my ‘wardrobe malfunctioned’, which meant that I had to cinch the front of the pants to keep myself decent, which wasn’t really great for running.  I followed that up with 20 minutes on the bowflex.

Lunch - 1/2 Starbucks egg salad sandwich… ok, ok, and a wine tasting of ~5 wines, which means that I had a few crackers with cheese.

Dinner - Tomato soup & a crab cake w/no bread.

Tomorrow = soccer in the morning, always a good workout as long as I remember to warm up first…

Day 1 recap

Breakfast - 2 Weetabix in soy milk.

Lunch - 1/2 a mayonnaise sandwich… ok, the sticker said tuna salad, but I think Giant tends to overdo it on the condiments.

Snacks - none

Dinner  -none… not by plan, but I was so tired I fell asleep at 5.30, and didn’t wake up until 10pm.  Watched a movie, then went back to sleep.

Day one temptations…

Of course day 1 would be the day of an all day client meeting, complete with bagels, cream cheese, cookies, alcohol filled chocolates, etc…

Game on…

So thanks to a few dinners out this week, I managed to move the scales the other way, just to give me a little bit of a chance in this contest.

Today I start this moving in the other direction. When I did this last year I checked my weight daily. If it went down, I was motivated by my success, and if it went up I was motivated to try harder. It’s not a lot of fun, but it’s a great feeling to see those numbers go down over time.
