Wow -- the end of last week went downhill in a hurry from an energy level perspective. I have a pretty bad cold that I'm hoping the sunshine will bake out of me.
Thurs: 4hrs sleep (system implementation)
Calories burned: 2399 Calories consumed: 1708 (22p, 50c, 54f) Deficit: 691
I took a walk at lunch to wake up and when I came home DH had bought pizza -- I had a slice and went straight to bed (i.e. high carb, fat #s)
Fri: 9 hrs sleep but woke up with sore throat and congestion. Felt like crap and had fasting blood work so didn't workout in the AM.
Calories burned: 2489 Calories Consumed: 1565 (26p, 41c, 33f) Deficit 924
I worked at home yesterday so didn't move much. I made myself workout in the PM because my calorie burn was so low @ 5P. 30m aerobic dance + Opt 1 and recovery
Comments:
I feel like this week was a FLTS break-in period. I want to do better and continue to see results.
My action plan:
Uploaded the FLTS and Opt manuals to Staples so I can get hard copies made. I'm guilty of skimming and jumping in with the program. I did listen to the FLTS audio on the drive to/from work last week though.
I have some protein powder and PB2 on the way. I tried powder in the past but the kind I had made me gag. I've been having a vitamuffin (100cal) with a smear of almond or peanut butter in the AM pre-workout for about a month. I'll replace that with a Pre/Post w/o shake. That will help with upping my protein and lowering carbs. I usually have chicken or tuna on a salad at lunch. So my other trouble spot is grab and go dinners. I will plan my meals the night before rather than guesstimating some protein, some veggies at feeding time. And I plan to cook a few meals ahead of time for the week.
I do get a gold star for tracking 100% of everything that went in my mouth this week. I was really obsessive when I first got my Bodybugg in Jan, but haven't been consistent the past couple of months.
I'm getting ready to do some cardio and pack up for a short weekend trip. I will stay the course. I have food tracking software on my palm, so I have no excuses for getting off track this weekend.
Ending this week at 236.2 Down 2.8 lbs. (noticed I had a typo earlier in the week on my weight. Wishful thinking I guess)
