Default Re: Weight Loss Journal

Well yesterday I left work and went to the gym to run 2 miles, cycle for 4 miles and then did a thighs & butt strength training circuit.

immediately after the gym i was starving so i went to Quizno's and got the veggie sandwich on wheat bread in the regular size (minus the double cheese...FAT). i brought it home to have a big glass of water with it (opted out of soda and chips...that's the pitfall for most).

I think today I'll take the workout day off - when I start a workout plan I usually like to alternate every other day until my body gets used to it. getting sore muscles is a good thing but to work out on top of sore muscles can be damaging.

this morning i woke up late because boyfriend and i had a fight last night. i was cranky but it's all good this morning. we spent the night in separate bedrooms and just cooled off.

i got my typical coffee w/ splenda and skim milk. i'm eating my cinnamon Weight Control oatmeal. I went to the market before work and picked up:
- banana
- apple
- acai drink (it's better antioxidants than even pomegranate)
- black olive hummus
- whole wheat pita bread
- lean cuisine ravioli and veggies (only 290 calories)
- peeps... oh come on now... it's PEEPS!!! 2 for $1 sale too!!! i allow myself a little "treat" at 5pm or when i get stressed but like my chocolate covered jellies - no more than 100 calories.

i'm doing okay so far. i did notice however - i go to Planet Fitness gym. I'm not sure if anyone here knows of it - it's a chain - but it's pretty awful. I used to go to LA Fitness which i LOVED but of course, that was in the posh suburbs of my former long island residence. now that i live in crapsville Vermont, i have no other choice. anyway - they are all about this "judgement free zone" thing. so much so that i noticed - THEY REMOVED THE SCALES! there is not a single scale in that entire place. so today i'm going to have to go out and buy a scale to monitor my weight because...they don't have one. i find that ridiculous.
