May Motivation Monday

What happened to everyone yesterday????

We have to be accountable EVERYDAY, good or  bad!

For a special day, I did fairly well...did have some dessert, but made me dump...my hair was dripping w/ sweat.  We had ribs and brisket, spinach salad, mashed potatoes and corn casserole.  For dinner I had some steak and a baked potato.

Today's plan: 
Already exercised 30 minutes and took vits/supplements
lots of liquids
2 protein drinks
chicken and rice leftovers for lunch
ribs for dinner w/ something as a side dish.

What's your Plan?

Taking a few mns to reevaluate and relize that this month my goals need to be simple  - too much going on with Tim leaving to push hard - that will be for Jun to keep busy and sane

so work out often - keep pushing weights
no more than one treat a day
try to lose but be ok with maintiaing this month

I know that not working on losing wieght improving fitness when tim is home will come back and bite me in the butt in 4 years but gotta deal with now

Honestly, I don't usually remember to post on the weekends. I had brunch with my mom and then we finished painting our downstairs guest room. Plus, my goals are really more around the work week, so I don't have anything to report on the weekends.

May Goals:
1. Workout 5x/week unless I start losing too much weight again. Then I'll have to adjust to keep the weight in check.
2. Wednesday, 4/22 I could barely eke out 100 crunches with 40 lbs. on my shoulders. 5/1, I did 220. By the end of the month, I'd like to be at 700. And hopefully, I'll have awesome little contours to show for it.
3. Do something that brings me joy each day.

Today, I've got a 12:15pm group fitness class. I have no idea what I will do that is joyful.

Okay my food sucked big ones this weekend. Four words – Potatoes in the house! Ugh. I gotta get over those quick OR just never bring them home. Saturday I didn’t eat so much but what I ate was horrible, i.e, potatoes. Yesterday I stuffed my face and it’s stiuck to my butt and tummy this morning! I am up 4 pounds from my lowest. 156! GAWD! That is disgusting.   So I have fruit and protein and veggie salad for breakfast and lunch. I must detox and get a grip for at least 3 ½ days before we head out for the long weekend. I know Thursday night is manna from heaven – Enchiladas from the most awesome place in Yo ***  That’s my Mother’s day treat.    Accountability is no fun sometimes!

ok, i have been to yo *** I really could have used some awesome enchiladas when i was there. lol.  That was THE proverbial small town lol. I swear that places rolls up the sidewalks at 7pm lol

Exactly!

that's why we have to get to Shiner, drop off Madeline and get in the car and head to Yo *** quick, so we can get there and get food before they close at like 8pm.

I remember we went to the Dairy Queen one time at 8:25pm.  It was on our way home from a visitation for my grandmother and we needed food.  They were locking the doors even though the sign said Close at 9pm.  When we said, 'hey we need food. Why are you closing." .. the manager boy said, "but Maam, it's a SCHOOL night!".. lol

exactly!!! Oye that place made me NUTS lol

I'm here!  Haven't been tracking this weekend, but put everything in FitDay again today.  Planning on hitting the gym today and at least 2 more days this week.  I need to set aside some time to do some structured goal planning.  I'm past some of the craziness and need to refocus. 

Here's what I've got planned food wise today:

Protein Shake w/ strawberries
1/2 ham/cheese/mushroom omelet
1/2 avocado
1 or 2 SF oatmeal packets
Ginger Tilapia
Grapes
Maybe a small salad from the cafeteria depending on hunger
Cottage cheese w/ ham & olives
RF cheese stick
1 oz turkey lunchmeat
2 savory muffins

Pretty sure I'm making Cheesy Jambalaya with sausage tonight for dinner.

*Starting weight 164.4.  Goal for May will be to reach my surgeon's goal of 160.  Ten months out and be at goal?  HECK YEAH!!  Scale is at 166.2 this morning - after the week I had last week, I'm not the least bit surprised.  Grab 'n Go is not the ideal way to lose weight.

*Exercise minimum of 3 times per week.  Walking, recorded program ..... just something that has me moving.  No formal exercise last week at all.

*Stick with getting 64-80 ozs of water EVERY day.  So-So here

*Post on this topic each day to keep myself in check.  (Exemption 5/15-5/17 due to RYD Obesity Conference in Galveston)  I think I've missed a few days over the last week between babies being born and going to funerals.

*And the BIGGIE - quit smoking.  Well, yeah this one is still a work in progress.
