Tomorrow I’m weighing in and going to measure again. Then I will wait 2 weeks before checking in again. My food diary is on myfitnesspal.com. And my workout log is handwritten. I have been taking HOT-ROX as directed. I just hope me doing 1 hour of cardio per day for 3 weeks and doing strength training 3 days a week for 3 weeks, I don’t run myself into the ground. So far, a week will have gone by tomorrow, so good. I feel as though this is it! About 15 more pounds until I hit my goal weight!

Just an update…
My goal weight is 135lbs.
Then, when I reach that goal, it will probably change…
Day 11/21 is complete.
Wow! 9 more days until the end of my 21 day plan of 1 hour of cardio a day and 3xweek weight training. Today was a weight day! I will be typing up all my workout and posting them when I have time. I just dont have time.
4 more days on this cardio program. I’ve been feeling really down and out lately. I feel like I’m running myself into the ground. So this morning, my husband gave me HOT-ROX then awhile later, gave me some Power Drive, then fed me breakfast after awhile. I must say, I feel loads better. I wonder if it’s all placebo? Oh well, it’s working so far. I burned 600 calories on the treadmill today. Ate a typical snack of prunes, yogurt and cashews.
Now, just gulping down some more water and typing this log entry. Just to clarify for whomever may find themselves reading my boring training log, my husband buys all of our supplements through his login, that’s why I’m still at a level 0. Also, the pictures on my profile are from a long time ago. I haven’t kept up on photos but my measurements and weigh-ins are up to date. I’m pretty much trying to lose all the weight. On my own before committing to a strict program such as the Indigo Project or V-Diet.
I want to make sure I’m ready for it should I choose to do it. This Friday is another weigh-in. I’ve worked my ass off, and pretty much kept myself in a calorie deficit. I track everything on myfitnesspal.com, it’s free and simple to use. I barely have to do anything because others have entered the info for most food already. All I have to worry about is weighing and measuring portions.
I can’t wait to be back in the States where I can actually eat meat. This island is inhabited by large noodle and rice eating diabetics. Just a few more months and sweet paradise…USA!
My goals are to get professional pictures done and post those as my progress pictures. So close…
So…cardio didn’t seem to work for losing weight. It seems I’ve gained muscle and lost fat, but am a steady weight. I’m really sick of dieting. I’m taking a couple days off before starting a new routine. The next phase will be 1600 calorie diet (only 100g carbs/day) as many veggies as I can shove my face with, because I always feel like I’m starving.
And weight training. My goal is to be able to do 1 real pull-up by the end of 4 weeks. Maybe reach some PRs while I’m at it. I don’t want to focus on the scale and eating as much although I’m still keeping tabs on everything. I just want to look at measurements PRs and pictures. My husband suggests that I take pictures soon. Which I probably should. I’ll think about it.
I just ordered some more HOT-ROX some mineral supplements and some Power Drive. Which I think will help for while we’re still down in the Caribbean.
Breakfast was difficult today because the store has been running out of eggs.
Delmonte fruit cup
1/2 c cottage cheese
1 serving cashews
Today’s workout was tough! But I got through it and feel pretty good about it:

B.
Leg curls 0lbs 1x5
Leg Ext. 20lbs 1x5

I think planning ahead is going to really help me cope with dieting better and to track my carb intake. Trying to keep calories under 1600 and carbs at or below 100g.
Better?
Looking good woman!

I’ve also been taking HOT-ROX right at 7am then waiting about 20 mins and downing some Power Drive wait 20 minutes then eat breakfast. I eat my fruity snack right after my workout. Then at around 1pm I take HOT-ROX again wait twenty minutes and eat lunch.
I plan on cleaning up my diet and getting better nutritional supplements when I get back to the States in February. Until then, this is pretty much my regimen.
Jumped around in a bouncy castle today with my son. Does that count as a workout?
I’m sick so I am taking a few days off my workout schedule. Sticking to my diet though.
So, it is Thanksgiving Day and I haven’t been able to workout because I’ve been sick. Tomorrow is a weigh in day…sounds kind of like I’m setting myself up for a bad weigh in, huh? Well, I’m not in the States so, over eating a thanksgiving dinner is out of the equation. As long as I watch my calories, I think I’ll be ok. I did go to the doctor the other day and weighed 148.6! Which means I’m only 13lbs from my goal of 135! I’m so close! Just have to workout and I will feel better about all this sitting on my bum.
I was playing at the playground today with my (almost 2 yo) son and I did 1 full pull up from a hang. Without jumping off. Just hanging and then pulling. I am so amazed! I thought it’d take me until February to do one full pull up. Now I have to set a new goal.
1st goal: 135lbs.
2nd goal: 5 pull ups
Deadline: 2/14/2012
