I’m working on getting back to the strictest form of the Wagon Plan.  I am still a snack hound and it’s NOT working out for me.  My workouts are going well tho – I went this morning, skipped Monday because I went Sat morning right after Friday and acted a total FOOL!  My dude invited me to his gym and wouldn’t ya knkow they had all NEW equipment so I had to do the gym rat roll and try EVERYTHING out……. Ended up TIRED than a mofo Sat, Sun AND part of yesterday……LOL

 

Full body today – found a couple machines that gave me a good burn, so I am going to shake up my full body routine, and put a lil cardio back in.  I’m working on a tight menu – 1600 cal a day.

 

B – protein shake, toast, sausage links

L – eta (change of plans): 2 kfc grilled chicken legs, green beans and mashed potato w/gravy (individual size)

S – 100 cal choc pretzels, skim milk

D – Taco Bell chalupa

 

Already did my vitamins and looking to get 80 oz of water in.  I am drinking Sam’s Choice flavored sparkling water to mix things up – still drinking my tea when I get home too.  

     Hey Ms #1MM, thanks for holding it down.   I should have been back down to business this morning but I had the priviledge of sleeping in... so I did. 

Yes folks, I took the long weekend off.  From EVERYTHING.  I just had to walk away for a minute. 

On Saturday morning this weight gain thing hit a high of just shy of ten pounds in two weeks.  I blew a gasket.  Crossing over into the 160's again when keeping calories below 1000 was my breaking point. 

I could literally see it comming.  On Friday I watched my lower body visibly expand.    So now the weight gain is joined by water retention.  I'm over 50% water and that's after having come down some.  At best, I know the last couple of pounds gained is not body fat. 

Soooooo, over the three day weekend I ate what I damn well pleased and did nothing of any value.  I bought a **** load of snacks.  Tasted everything, then trashed it immediately so I could not continue to eat.  (I know better than to keep that stuff in the house.)  I thoroughly enjoyed my junk food dinner.  Last night, pizza & wings.  Throughout the weekend, air popped popcorn. 

I'ved cursed and sulked so now I'm back on the program.  I just have no clue what program exactly.   Last night I was online researching what the hell may be causing this weight gain.   I hate all of my options.

For now, just the basics which have not been working.  Protein, water, vits, exercise...   I've got to stick with it regardless.  Even if just to avoid bad eating habits. 

Nothing wrong with sleeping in - heck - I take EVERY chance at that I get! 

I've done the weekend off thing - I feel you on that, sometimes you need to just unplug and unwind. 

You know I feel your pain. 

 The freakin' four feet of snow in Baltimore threw me off my workouts. I missed almost 2 weeks at the gym. Anyway, I ended up using the free gym at work today, and I was TRYING to run for 30 minutes on the treadmill. It felt like I was running to Florida wearing steel-toe sneakers. Not a good look! 

So, I am recommitting to my workouts even if I can't make it to my gym (The YMCA) there is a perfectly good gym at work and it doesn't take me out of my way to use it, I just go at the end of my workday. Once the four feet of snow melts and I'm not parked 4 blocks from my house, I'll be able to easily leave in the mornings at 5 am to go to the YMCA and get back to my normal routine.

DAMN SNOW!!!!

Hello All,

This new job has me actually working so I'll be checking in at different times. I'm holding it down!! Still haven't been working out like I know I should/could but I survived the pouch test and lost 6 lbs while doing it. This weekend I didn't do too bad but I could've done better. Nevertheless.................I'm determined and there is nothing like a made up mind.
