Morning! Tess, could you please share some of that weather?! Thunderstorms for the morning commute are not good. Thats two days in a row now. Calling for almost 90% humidity today and in the 80's. Love summer, but you can keep the humidity. Time to start the summer updo's!

Well, after my 4 days off the wagon, I managed to gain 5lbs. I have to assume it was bloat, cause I managed to lose it all between Monday and Tuesday. I didnt have the greatest day yesterday. Woke up hungry! But at least those 5lbs are gone now.

Trainer kicked my BUTT last night. 8 minutes of burpees, 6 minutes of squats, skaters, shadow boxing with 8lbs weights. OUCHIE, Im hurting today, but I CAN DO IT!

Eats for today:

Iced coffee w/ cream
Pure protein bar
Roasted turkey and green beans
Strawberries and string cheese
Bison burger and a couple Pop Chips

Off day from the gym for me. Feeling like an epsom salt bath tonight!

 I would love to send you some of this weather but you will have to take the humidity with it too! 
When I am working out my muscles, I always tend to gain about two pounds from water weight due to the muscles needing fluid to repair any stretching that I did to them.  Keep up the good work, you are a winner!

Evening Botts:

Well, I am having issues.  Over the past few days I just thought it was my sweet tooth kicking in and I needed to detox but the problem is I am always hurgry.  My eatting is out of control, I am not feeling full as I once had and the protein shake seem like a waste of time but I am hurgry right after intaking 8oz, 270 calc and 52 proteins.

I was informed that my body has now adjusted to my meal plan over the past 4 months so now I need to switch it up a bit.  So, I am going to adjust my meal plan by adding in more food and taken out a protein bar and cutting back on the protein shakes.  I am also burning about 700 to 900 calc a day with a moring workout and an evening workout

Todays eat...honestly:

4oz of cooled coffee with my med's
Protein coffee shake 270calc/52P
16oz of half/caf Coffee with 5 creamers!!!!!!
Quest Bar Vanilla Almond 200calc/20P
Sun Chips a full bag 210cac/3P
1/2 of a protein meat stick 40calc/8P
Tomato & Cucumber Salad with 4oz of Grilled Shrimp (5 pcs) 165cal/23P
Balance Protein Bar - Cinnamon Bun 200calc/14P
Bag of Fruit Chews 150calc/0P
2 small Oatmeal Raisin Cookie for the take out shop
1/2 Cheese Burger & Fries (calc & Portein) I don't know - from the take out shop
Snack will be a Sensa Chew (to stop the hurgry feeling)

Yes, I had water and Crystal light today as well

Time to create a new meal plan my old one is no longer working.
