Week 1, Day 7 - THE GAUNTLET

So today I ran the gauntlet on my workout! Or as I also like to call it my "LAST CHANCE WORKOUT"! I'm doing a weekly weigh in like they do in the biggest loser. So anyway first what I grubbed on today lol.

Breakfast - 1 pancake, 1 egg, 1 toast, 1 turkey bacon, 1 glass orange juice

Snack - 1 granola bar & cup of coffee

Lunch - Sandwich (home made: ham, dijon mustard, pepper jack cheese, wheat bread), 1 serving chips, 4 apple slices, 1 diet caffeine free diet Pepsi.

Snack - 1 granola bar

Dinner - 1 cup of chicken marinara (chicken, noodles, marinara sauce)

I guess I should mention that I drink at least 2-4 bottles of water. I must say I overcame a major hurdle. Boss wanted to buy lunch but he wanted Nujo's pizza, I told him unless he ordered healthy I would eat my own lunch. After all today I had to run the gauntlet at night!

So the workout the gauntlet or last chance workout which is a culmination of absolutely everything so here goes, I'm gonna get a list of each machine one of these days lol:


15min Bike 80-100rpm!!
15min treadmill (4mph = 1 mile)
1 set of 10 on all upper body machines
1 set of 10 on all leg/lower body machines
1 set of 10 on all abs machines

Pool work
1 breast stroke lap
2 kicking laps
2 butterfly lap
1 power walking lap
1 porpoising(up&down free dives) lap
1 underwater only lap

I'm pretty whooped but you know its good! I'm a bit hungry so I'm having a few apple slices to suppress it (natures natural appetite suppressant). I will post my updated weight with tomorrow's summation.

Tomorrow I will post a current side/front pic of me with my current weight.

I think I should a been watching what I ate at a much younger age!


Take care all!

Week 1, Day 6

Today I tried something different. Initially I was going to work out at 4:30am but today when I woke up at 6:45am my alarm clock was off. So I found out that the power strip isn't working, has a short in it or something. So anyway here's my meals read further to see what I did differently today ;-)


Breakfast - 1 toast, 1 pancake, 1 egg, 1 turkey bacon

Snack - Coffee

Lunch - 12" Ham on wheat with all veggies, light mayo, honey mustard, red wine vinegar, and a little pepper, a bag of baked lays sour cream and onion (btw the boss bought this lunch)

Snack - 1 serving doritos chili chips (forgot to bring a granola bar to work)

Dinner - 1 cup pasta salad (containing: noodles, salami pieces, cheese pieces, veggies, fat free italian dressing)


WORKOUT:

So here's what I did differently. I was gonna go to workout after work like I've done in the past week when I missed a morning. Well I got tired of it and was convinced to go later by my friend. So I went around 930pm here's what I did.

15min Bike 80-90rpm
20min treadmill (3mph)
1 set of 10 on all abs machines

Pool work
1 breast stroke lap
2 kicking laps
2 butterfly lap
1 power walking lap
1 porpoising(up&down free dives) lap
1 underwater only lap

So I've decided I'm gonna go at ngiht. It seems to work out a lot better for me. Its easier to go then. The morning is good because no one is there but by noon-2pm I crash and have a hard time keep going. Working the day shift isn't good. So I am hoping this keeps me going.

Tomorrow I run the gauntlet and do upper, abs, lower, cardio workout! Saturday is the weigh in.

Week 1, Day 5

I'll keep this short and sweet here goes:

Breakfast - 1 toast, 1 pancake, 1 egg, 1 turkey bacon

Snack - Coffee

Lunch - Sandwich, Chips, Apple pieces ... I'm sad to say this next part, the boss said he was buying lunch and promised something healthy next thing I know he bought me 2 regular hamburgers, 1 angus burger, 1 reg. fries from Macdonalds (total calories for McDonalds 1420 sad just sad)

Snack - Granola bar

Dinner - 1 cup pasta salad (containing: noodles, salami pieces, cheese pieces, veggies, fat free italian dressing)


WORKOUT:

15min Bike 80-90rpm
15min treadmill (4mph)
1 set of 10 on all upper body machines

Pool work
1 breast stroke lap
2 kicking laps
2 butterfly lap
1 power walking lap
1 porpoising(up&down free dives) lap
1 underwater only lap

I have decided after today that when the boss says he's buying lunch I'm going to tell him if its not Subway I'm not interested. This is irritating he's not helping me at all!

Just to say I added a pic here goes

Week 1, Day 4

Howdy all. So as I journey to find myself there comes speed bumps in the road to slow ya down somewhat. Here is the run down:

Breakfast - 1 egg, 1 bacon, 1 pancake, 1 toast, 1 glass Orange juice

Snack - NONE (coffee don't think it counts but oh well)

Lunch - 12" Spicy Italian (boss treated)

Snack - Granola bar

Dinner - 1 cup chicken pasta salad (noodles, chicken, salami, cheese, veggies)

I think overall thats not bad, it ain't great but not bad. Compared to yesterday anyway.

The gym was unbelievably busy today. You had to sign up to use a cardio machine so I got almost all done. The pool was packed to so no pool work so here goes.

Workout

15min Bike @ 80-90rpm

1 set of 10 on all leg machines


That was it. Wish I coulda got more workout in. But like I posted on facebook better 2/3 the workout than 0/3 the workout.

Looking at this picture of me makes me happy and sad all at the time. I was happy doing what I was doing but sad because I want to look good in a wetsuit!. Until next time I bid you farewell.

Week 1, Day 3

Okay so today was disappointing. I am very very disappointed in myself. I need to learn to have more restraint when it comes to offerings of people buying me meals/food. I also need to start being more disciplined about what time I wake up. I am shooting for an 0430 wake up/workout time but thus far the temptation to hit snooze or reset to 0630 had just been too much.

So therefore I'm moving my cell phone and alarm clock across the bedroom!!

So here is what happened today:

Breakfast - Jack in the Box, 2 sausage breakfast jacks, hashbrowns, and a diet coke

Lunch - Nujo's pizza 3 slices all meet pizza

Dinner - (sad to say) 3 leftover pieces of the pizza

WORKOUT

15min 4mph on treadmill
15min 80-90rpm on bike
1 set of 10 on all ab machines

Unfortunately they had an adapted aquatics class going on so I wasn't able to go in the pool. Just kinda added to my disappointment.

But for every failure comes opportunity. Lets see what tomorrow brings.
