Day 150

The Lost Entries

Ok sooooo I fell off.  But guess what…..I’m back on.  So to preserve my posts and keep my promise to myself to follow will a segment I will call “The Lost Entries”. This is how I will catch myself back up if ever I fall off again which is bound to happen in this thing called life. This will at least keep me honest!!

My last food post was April 13th, journal Day 135. I jotted down my meals on a random piece of paper what I have been eating for Days 136-147 and now have no clue where it is. Therefore, I will not post my food journal here but let’s just say I have not been as good as I would like to be.  I have been OK…OK for me is stellar for most but OK is not enough in my book so yesterday I started another mini cleanse to gain back a  little control.  14 days of clean eating, no alcohol, no junk, no snack.  Just clean whole food for the sake of what food was meant to do, nourish me! Oh and little to NO CARBS.  Not even healthy complex ones – maybe once per day at most, if that.

Sidebar: My 10th wedding anniversary is approaching and I plan to celebrate so I need to do this now! Alcohol will definitely be involved :o).

Honestly, I have had more chips, sugar, and saturated fat for a while. Truth be told, I blocked out the last 10 or so days of my life. No real reason, I am all good. Sometimes it just be like that!

What has been on point is my workout.  I tend to over compensate in one area when the other is lacking.  My meals have been bad considering but my fitness level has been UP.  I worked out hard 8 days straight during this mini hiatus.  Took 2 days off and been going ever since. Today is Kick boxing class, yesterday it was 4 miles, Saturday and Sunday a little more plus spot training like weights, ab ball, jump rope, push ups, dips to name a few.

Day 135

Workout – Kick boxing class. Intervals of push ups and sit ups, burpies and lunges. I heard about an awesome boot camp class today.  Lasts 24 minutes but is supposed to leave you wondering what the heck you just did. Think I  might try it out one day soon. Tomorrow starts me going back to Pilate’s with my homies.  Looking forward to it, been FOREVER since I have been on apparatus! I will be swinging from the rafters in no time.

Breakfast – chocolate protein shake just like yesterday.

Lunch – cucumber and carrots.  3 baked wing drums.

Dinner – Can of Amy’s southwestern veggie soup, sliced apple.

Day 134

Workout – Off Day

Breakfast – chocolate protein shake, hemp milk, hemp, flax, chia, fiber, diatomaceous earth, MSM, 1/2 cup berries.

Lunch – Large salad, green leaf lettuce, olives, grape tomatoes, red onions. Cider vinegar, evoo, sea salt, Bragg aminos. 5 baked wing drums.  Usually don’t have this many but was hungry!

Dinner – Chocolate protein shake, bee pollen, organic local honey, palm sugar, fiber, maca powder, cacao nibs and powder.

Night Snack – Havarti cheese and turkey breast, less than 2 ounces.

Day 133

Workout – Its Sunday…I skipped it. Was a gorgeous day but I chilled ALL day. Hard.

Breakfast – protein shake, vanilla with all the stuff.

Lunch – Turkey sandwich no bread.  Havarti cheese, spicy mustard.

Dinner – more junk food. Cheese popcorn and nuts. Some other things I am forgetting. Oh Reese’s mini cups for dessert. LOL. That is not funny, what am I LOL-ing?

Day 132

Workout – 4 miles and 216 push up…BUT those sit ups are another thing.  I am still talking myself into doing them, LOL. Stay tuned.

Breakfast – fried egg in evoo, whole grain English muffin, 1/2 teaspoon almond butter and 1/2 teaspoon strawberry preserves. 3 sausage links.  YUMMY

Lunch- meals were ALL wrong today. Ate a big bowl of collards for lunch.

Dinner – skipped it but ate junk instead.  chocolate covered raisins, pecans, walnuts and almonds were my dinner.  along with a couple skinny margaritas!

Day 131

Workout – 3.5 miles 176 push ups.  It was humid out today so getting this much in was a bonus! Not really ready for the humidity!

Breakfast – Vegan protein shake…like normal.

Lunch – I skipped lunch.  Made a pot of collard greens for dinner!  Had a spoon or two while cooking them.

Dinner –  big bowl of collards with okra. Baked chicken wings and Coleslaw.

Day 130

Workout – I am on a role…3 plus miles 160 push ups. STILL no sit ups though, maybe tonight.

Breakfast – Protein shake, only drank about 1/4 of it.  Was still drinking it for lunch, smh.

Lunch – like mentioned above, protein shake.  About 1.5 ounces maybe 2 of tuna right after my work out.  I rarely mention this but I always feed my muscles with protein after a vigorous work out. I believe its very important.  BUT you must be careful with just eating anything after working out.  NO carbs, sugar or fiber!

Dinner – Cheesecake Bistro…my home girl had a gift certificate, LOL. I ate a Caesar with grilled shrimp, dressing on the side and used oil and vinegar instead of the fattening creamy dressing! We shared spinach dip and chips.  Long Island Ice Tea!!!

Still waiting on myself to do these 200 sit ups!! Bare with me while I bare with myself.

Day 129

Workout – Zumba class.  Late like I usually am and was not feeling it today but did the best I could!! By the way, those 200 sit ups did not happen yet.  Still working on that.  I am a step closer because I am actually remembering that I didn’t do them, before I never even thought about them!

Breakfast – Protein shake…they have been hard to get down lately. Going to switch to chocolate for a while soon.

Lunch – The rest of my shake, a little fruit and 4 baked lemon pepper wing drums.

Dinner – can of Amy’s southwestern vegetable soup and 3 ounces of tuna. Nuts and raisin’s for dessert/night cap!

Day 128

Workout – Kick boxing class.  Full class, good work out.  A long arm routine with weights.

Breakfast – Vanilla shake.  Its been taking me longer to drink them and I have been eating breakfast a lot later for some reason. I should be eating within 1 hour of rising!!  I have to do better.

Lunch – Small spinach salad, tomato, carrots, mushrooms, green and red peppers, scallions, cucumber. 2 baked wing drums.

Dinner – 4 baked wing drums, lemon pepper. Sliced small honey crisp apple.

Today starts those sit ups…stay tuned to tomorrow to see if I made good on my promise to myself!!
