Today was pretty rough. AF was doing a real number on my hormones, making me very emotional and just feeling depressed all day long. It royally sucked. I can't stand feeling like that.
As a consequence, my input is low. I really didn't feel like eating this morning, though I did have a caprisun so I wasn't lightheaded after my biking and then a little before lunch, made myself eat a fiber one bar. I had a late lunch of two chicken tacos from Taco Bell. (It's not a GOOD thing that they are now on the 89 cent menu...lol) For an afternoon snack, I had a tbsp of peanut butter to see if that would help. It didn't. Dinner was Birds Eye 3 Cheese chicken skillet meal. I had watermelon and the rest of the grapes this evening to end my day at 1210 calories.
Output: I got up this morning and did 30 minutes on the bike. I wanted to do more but hit snooze one too many times. This afternoon, I got in a 10 minute walk around the building to see if that would help my mood, and sadly, it didn't help either. Guess I just need to wait it out. This evening I did another 30 minutes on the bike. D and I both had rough days, he went to bed early, and I had frustrations to work out. :(

Kickin booty day
Well...AF was...and it was MY booty bein kicked. All. Day. Long. It sucked.
Since it was quite the rough day, most of the morning I really didn't feel like eating at all. So I had nothing til lunchtime, and then it was a yogurt and a cheese cracker snack mix baggie. My afternoon snack was a tbsp of peanut butter and then for dinner we had nekkid chicken strips from Popeyes with mashed tatoes, and yeah, I had the biscuit since I was so low on cals...lol My evening snack was grapes and a 100 cal bag of popcorn to end my day at 1231 calories.
Output was light but I did get my hour in. This morning, I got up early and did 35 minutes on the bike. Then this afternoon I got in a 10 minute walk around the building, and this evening did another 20 minutes on the bike. There will be no 3 mile walking for another couple days or so til AF is gone. :( I miss it.

Quiet, stay at home day
Which was badly needed after yesterday! We left twice to go grab food (in serious need of a good grocery run...lol) but otherwise lounged all day. I'm pretty sure I was dehydrated after yesterday and just whipped, so I needed it. I had a headache most of the afternoon/evening so laid around watching episodes of Law and Order: SVU...lol Thats my fave version of L&O.
I woke up starving this morning after not eating enough so D and I hit up Burger King for breakfast. I got a sausage/cheese croissanwich, a bacon wrap, and small hashbrowns. Yeah, not great choices, and I so could have done better elsewhere...lol Oh well. I didn't eat anything else til dinner, except a Capri-Sun juice pouch. Dinner was a chicken nugget kids meal at Wendys with some ketchup to end my day at 1635 calories. Not awful on cals for a weekend day, but I feel like BLAH.
Output: not much, with the headache and AF going, I really didn't feel up to walking 3 miles this morning. Unfortunately, Fridays are my real "off" days, so I still did 30 min on the bike this evening once my headache finally dimmed a bit, while watching a movie. Today is just going to have to be my half day for the week. It does mean I'll have to have a full hour each day up until Friday, but thats ok.

In exactly 3 months...
I'll be walking a half marathon! Well, hopefully by this time I will be DONE walking a half marathon...lol Yup, its on September 27th, and I am so excited!
My training buddy and I hit the trail this morning at 6am to get in our 6 mile walk. I had no specific goal on time, although I was hoping to get it in under 2 hours. And score! We did it with 4 minutes to spare...lol But I will say, that did include a bit of slow down a few times as kid's needs required (we had 3 kids with us, 2 on scooters and D in his stroller). Not enough to really make a big difference, but we probably could have shaved off a couple minutes from that if we'd been super focused and not talking...lol. But what fun is that??? Regardless, I am giddy. lol It rocks to meet a new personal record for distance walked EVERY SINGLE WEEK! I love it!
Ok food eaten today...I'm posting this kinda early in the day, so will have to come back and edit it. But before the walk, I had a Fiber One bar, and then Gatorade throughout the walk. After it, we hit up IHOP, where I had a Senior Omelette (don't laugh) with bacon, cheese, and salsa. Only difference, its a 2 egg, not a 3 egg omelette. And then 1.5 slices of whole wheat toast with some butter and jam. Yummy and no way could I have eaten more! Dinner was at Celebrate Freedom. I had a slice of pepperoni pizza and a margarita flavored snocone. When we got home after midnite, I had another Gatorade to end my day at 1678 calories. Kinda low actually for my output today, but its ok.
Output: an almost 2 hour, 6 mile walk. We spent the evening/lateeeee evening out at Celebrate Freedom (from about 430 til midnight), and I am EXHAUSTED. But I'm excited because I beat another record for cals burned. At midnight, my count was at 5047 calories burned! OMG! It makes me REALLY glad that D and I can chill at home and sleep in on Sunday morning!

A light day
Since tomorrow is going to be our 6 mile walk, and its my off day anyway, I kept it light today. I did really up my water intake though, felt like I was floating away all day!
Breakfast was a Fiber One bar. Lunch was a Weight Watchers ziti meal and some Bugles. My afternoon snack was a fat free yogurt. Dinner was a CFA Kids Meal with ketchup, and then some grapes in the evening to end my day at 1220 calories.
Output, not a thing and it rocked.

Almost the weekend
So close, yet so far. Only one more day but that still seems like forever! lol Today was a decent day at work aside from the construction going on in the office behind me which made me think they were going to come right through the wall at some point! Yeah I had to leave my office a few times before I ended up rocking in a corner.
I ate decent today, though I did have a rough time deciding on dinner, and really wanted a burger. More on that in a sec. Breakfast was a Fiber One bar. Then my morning snack was a Slimfast bar. Lunch was a Lean Cuisine pizza, and my afternoon snack was a fat free yogurt. Dinner was...well...a burger. But I did ok. We went to Braums and I gotta kids meal with ketchup only on the cheeseburger, and kids fries with a bit of ketchup. After our walk, I had a Gatorade and some grapes to end my day at 1370 calories.
Output: I did 3 minutes at lunch time of lunges while waiting on my food to heat up. Then this evening we did a 54 minute 3 mile walk. Then I did a few minutes of stretching to finish my day.

An ok day...
I had a better day today than yesterday. I gave myself the leniency to have something I'd been wanting but can't usually have due to the diet, not a "splurge" per se, but it wasn't something I normally allow myself.
I had a chocolate donut for breakfast. My coworker brought them in for his birthday, and I looked at my Fiber One bar, looked at the donut, looked up cals, and then swapped out the Fiber bar for the donut. And it was totally worth it. lol A bit later, I had half a banana (cause the other half was YUCKY). Lunch was a Weight Watchers Ziti meal. My afternoon snack was a fat free yogurt. Dinner was Taco Bell. I didn't have the strength to resist going but I didn't do BAD. I ended up having a pintos n cheese, and 2 chicken soft tacos. Later in the evening, I had a packet of instant oatmeal (don't ask why, it sounded good at the time...lol) to end my day at 1376 calories.
Output: got up early this morning and did the 32 minute WATP. This evening, D and I did about 30 minutes of a fast jam session. We were both sweaty and giggly when it was over, I think we both needed that!
