Thursday Accountability Report

4 Comments

I love my late days at work: the one day per week where I go in from 12-9pm instead of the normal 9-6pm.

Typically, I use the morning to sleep in or run errands. Today, however, I used it to get a kick-ass workout in!

I had a bit of a cheat meal for dinner (it wasn’t my plan, but I succumbed to peer pressure), so that negated some of my efforts. Still, though, I’m pretty happy with how the day turned out.

I plan to spend my ENTIRE evening tomorrow at the gym (I have no school, no work, and no plans), so I’m sure I will make up for those sugary margaritas and greasy nachos on Friday!

Bon appetit, my friends!

Wednesday Accountability Report

Awfully tired today, so this post will be short and sweet.

I didn’t make it to the gym, but I did squeeze in two 15 minute walks around the lake during work.

Hoping to wake up with some energy in the morning so I can squeeze a workout in before I head into the office at 11am.

I hope everyone had an awesome HUMP DAY!

Weigh-in Wednesday!

Leave a comment

Despite yesterday’s caloric debauchery, today’s weigh-in was positive! Yay!

Here’s the breakdown of the morning report:

Weight: 125.4

Waist: 26″ even

Hips: 35″ (up slightly?)

Right Thigh: 21.25″

Left Thigh: 21″

Right Bicep: 9.75″

Left Bicep: 10″

The scale and waist measurements are down, and the rest have remained the same or only slightly increasing. Not exactly sure how my hips got wider (second puberty?), but I’m not stressing it.

Not bad considering I just started on Monday the 19th! I’m down almost 7 pounds in 10 days. A little fast, but I’m not doing anything extreme or obsessive, so I’m happy with my results!

Bon appetit, my friends!

Monday (Holiday) Accountability Report

Leave a comment

Amazingly, I avoided the barbecues and managed to feast on fresh seafood (steamed, not fried) for lunch today. I splurged a bit on sweets (had a serious craving today for chocolate I couldn’t seem to satiate), but my exercise today more than cancelled out my cheats.

I’m hoping the return to work tomorrow (yay, regimen!) will help me stay on track and get below 125 by Friday. So close!

Bon appetit, my friends!

Sunday Accountability Report

Leave a comment

I spent my Sunday trying to stay busy and keep my mind occupied, so I found myself wandering the outlet malls and people-watching for several hours.

I rounded down to 2.5 hours of walking on my calorie counter, but I pretty much walked circles through the mall from 5pm-9:30pm, pausing only a few times to try on (and purchase!) a few fun items.

All and all, not a bad day.

My first weekend (in a looooong time) without a MAJOR, no-holds barred cheat day. I’m pretty proud.

Bon appetit, my friends!

Saturday Accountability Report

Whoops! I’m a little late posting this. Last night turned into my cheat night (VODKA!), so I crashed hard and forgot to post my accountability report for the day.

Here’s how I did:

Definitely not a horrible day. In fact, I still managed to get a workout in and didn’t fully kill myself with eating. I did consume a boatload of carbs, though, which I’ve been trying to keep moderate. Oh well. You have to live, right?

Bon appetit, my friends!

Friday Accountability Report

Leave a comment

Whoops! I almost forgot to post this!

I’m proud of myself for two reasons today—

One: I ordered pizza (and breadsticks!) for my team meeting today and didn’t have any, despite the ridiculously delicious smell and the sight of all that gooey, cheesy goodness.

Two: I only had a small serving of FroYo at Jason’s Deli, which is a huge testament to my will power, as I typically have a cone the second I walk in (before my salad!) and again before I leave.

Not a bad day! Let’s hope I can continue to stay strong over the weekend. A holiday, too!

Bon appetit, my friends!

I had hoped to make it to the gym this evening, but I ended up working from 10am to 9:30pm and I’m just too exhausted to squeeze any more into this day.

I cheated and had a little candy today (bad!), but managed to offset it with a healthy dinner and a couple of walking breaks at work.

Here’s how I did:

Not too shabby! Although, it’s probably not a good thing that I’ve had beef jerky for lunch two days in a row. Whoops!

Bon appetit, my friends!
