- Monday: Overall my eating was pretty good. I didn't get enough water or protein though. It was a rest day, so I didn't do any training, except for a 20 minute walk in the park for the doggie.
- Tuesday: Eating was a little higher than my upper limit. I did do a 2.25 mile run and then did an upper body weight session.
- Wednesday: I ate too many fats and not enough protein. I went to the gym and did 30 minutes of cross training on the bike.
- Thursday: A little high on the calorie intake and again, not enough protein. I did 2 miles of running and a lower body weight session.
- Friday: Way too many calories. Kevin came home and surprised me with In-N-Out for dinner! I should've just had the cheeseburger and I would've been fine, but no, I ate the fries! I found out the burger and fries were almost 1000 calories. I ate too much and I felt bad, but was ready to go to the gym on Saturday.
- Saturday: Eating went well. Kevin and I went to a BBQ and I didn't stuff my face! Sometimes awkward social situations make me eat more, but I refrained and made myself talk to Kevin's labmates. I started out the morning with a good workout. I did 30 minutes of biking and 10 minutes of rowing and finished off my gym session with an upper body weight session.
- Drink more water!
- Eat more protein.
- Don't eat In-N-Out
I also wanted to let you guys know of a really great site that I've been using: sparkpeople.com I have been using it to track my caloric intake and exercise session. You can set a lot of nutrition goals and exercise goals and it's has a lot of valuable information. I am using it to track my calorie intake, fat, carb, protein, fiber and water intake. You can even get weekly meal plans and exercise plans based on what you like or don't like. So if you're vegan, you can get a weeks meal plan made for you that is in your calorie intake range and the other ranges you've set your for yourself. I really think you guys should check it out if you want to keep track of what your eating and in my case, not eating (damn protein).
How was your week?

Lisa! Excellent progress, especially about refraining from the emotional eating at the BBQ - parties are a big trigger for me too, although I generally drink more (and there's a lot of calories in one of those foofey umbrella drinks!). I'm gonna go check out sparkpeople.com too.
Hi Lisa -
thanks for turning me on to sparkpeople.com. i've tracked 2 days now - and it's just what i needed - not preachy or naggy...
