So today was a strange day. I had a huge paper due that I put off forever that was due by midnight tonight. I submitted It by 11:59. Cutting it close a bit? Absolutely. But I felt good about today.... kinda. I feel weird because I drank tonight. I think of all things... this might be the hardest part. Learning how to drink on my "lifestyle change". I went over to a friends house and ate a bunch of crackers and hummus. I don't 100% regret that choice because I did not eat very many calories before I went.
Here's what I ate prior to the get-together:
2 (100 calorie) breakfast bars
a char-grilled chick-filet sanwich (410)
and a chicken brest
TOTAL - around 800 calories
not very much which i KNOW is bad. BUT I think I definitely reached my gaol with the cocktails and crackers.
ready for the kicker???....
I DIDNT WORK OUT TODAY!!! AHHHH!!! Im so upset about it. Im on day three and already I dropped the ball! In fact... I may go run now. No, I had one too many cocktails I think...
So tomorrow, instead of running for 30 minutes... I'm gonna workout AND swim. Our gym has an indoor pool and I have needed excuse to do it so... when better that now, right? But YELL AT ME! I EFFED UP!!!! I feel like crap for not working out.... ugh
Tomorrow Im kickin ass and takin names, yall! Im gonna be better. I am doing this for ME. As for tonight, Im gonna do some crunches with Chris then call it a night. Its something right?

ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you for doing this. You are so talented and inspire me so much.
I really think you would like "Insanity". Scratch that. I don't think you'd LIKE it...in fact, you might hate it. But it is crazy and intense and a fantastic workout.
So just keep doing what you're doing. If you ever need someone to go to the gym with, you've got my numbah! Love you! :)
you need you need you need you need you NEED a WORKOUT PARTNER!!!!! You have to have someone to hold you accountable EVERY DAY!
ReplyDeleteBe careful of the cocktails honey. I know not drinking is out of the question but try to stay away from sugary drinks, it's just useless calories. Now don't skip another day for the rest of the week. That was your one day off, I'm holding you to this. I love you, and I better not hear of any more cheating.
ReplyDeleteDont give up!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCrunches were INTENSE so they should take off 15-20% of your guilt. But the rest can stay for motivational purposes.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest thing about gym for me is making it fit in our crazy schedule. I know there are only 5 weeks but you may look at the calendar and set up some kind of schedule. Just a thought!

Ryan, people have off days! You sound like you are doing well though. The first few weeks are going to be hard.. but it will get easier and soon working out will be an addiction.

ReplyDeleteI'm with Paul. You can't NOT drink, but switch to red wine. No mixed drinks or juice drinks! I'm going home to yoga.

ryan youre doing so great!! so proud of you, it will get easier once things become more of a habit and routine. i need to stop eating oreos lol, or rather stop buying oreos so that they are nowhere near me.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work
Love, Rach
We love you. We know you can do it. We'll send a Care Package of asperagus. Love mom and dad
ReplyDeleteryan, i'm so happy for you, and i know you can do it. just remember that you must do it for yourself, seriously.
ReplyDeletei find it helpful to ALWAYS have healthy snacks with me: almonds, fruit or veggies, and i love all the kashi granola bars. also, smart pop popcorn is low calorie/fat and has tons of fiber, so it is a good alternative for chips. the more produce you eat, the fuller you will feel, and the less you'll spend on foods that aren't as nourishing to you.
i miss you and hope to see you soon!

Alcohol will get you! vodka and wine are two of the lower calorie options i think. Here is a good alcohol calorie chart.
