Monday: Arms with Lauren
Tuesday: 40 minutes on the treadmill and got to an incline at the 3.5 setting
Wednesday: This is leg day - tomorrow! I better get to bed. I'm exhausted!!!
I've been eating well but it may because of the fact that my metabolism has kicked it up a notch or that I haven't had my patch on in awhile, but I am STARVED!!! It's quite annoying.
As a side Mommy note....today is a BIG day!!! Our daughter, Hailey, peed on the potty with her pull up on!! We told her she just needs to sit on the potty for 10 seconds last week, then we started adding counts. Tonight, Brent got up to 100 and she was still there. When I took her in right before bedtime, she sat on the potty with her pull up and asked me, "If I make a pee on the potty, will I get the gift on top of the refridgerator??? (a game I purchased 6 months ago." I said, of course she would - not thinking that she would indeed pee.
Well, she peed on the potty!!! Then she smiled sweetly and said..."Now, can I get that game on top of the refridgerator??" I said, "Absolutely!!!" And she said, "Are you happy or sad?" because I think she saw I was about to cry (of happiness of course!!) and I said - "I'm so happy, sweety! I am so proud of you!"
So, it was a big night of putting the batteries in her game and letting her play with it. She was even tracing the letters by herself with the game!!! For most kids, this is a big "so what!" For our kid who has struggled with self-esteem issues and has been in therapy for over 3 months now for sensory integration...it's a HUGE deal. I'm just overcome with happiness and joy for her. And what's most important is that she is proud of herself!!

Week #5: Workout & Eating Recap
Monday: Arms with Lauren
Tuesday: Cardio for 30 minutes on the bike
Wednesday: Legs with Lauren
Thursday: No Work Out
Friday: Chest and Back with Lauren
Saturday: No Work Out
Sunday: No Work out
I was bad with my cardio, I admit. I missed 1 cardio day as I did Sunday and Tuesday. I ate pretty well but did do a cheat night on Friday night where I had Mexican food and a beer. Lauren told me she would measure me on Monday. This comes after 2 frustrating weeks of not losing anything! Last week, I actually GAINED 2 pounds and had a major tear fest in the bathroom by myself. On this Friday, the week of Week #5, I weighed 154.5, so no more weight loss. So, Lauren told me not to get discouraged because she could "see it" in me. I also feel like my pants are fitting better, and I can fit into pants I wasn't able to before.

Week #4: Monday and Tuesday
Monday:
My eating was ok but I did skip a snack. My major pitfall I believe is I ate a chicken and brocolli dish from our local Chinese restaurant. I'm thinking the oils in the sauce were bad! Also, the sodium. Darn me!!
Work out: Arms and Abs with Lauren
Tuesday:
Work Out: 35 minutes Cardio on the bike
This is today and seeing that I'm caught up with my posts, this is what I ate:
Breakfast: 3 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 banana, 10 almonds, 1/2 cup cooked oates, coffee
Snack: Skipped as I had no groceries!
Lunch: Large veggie salad with chicken at Whole Foods with red raspberry vinagerette and oil
Snack: 1/2 cup cottage cheese
Dinner: 2 whole wheat tortillas for 40 carbs, buffalo burger and veggies and 2 tsps of low fat sour cream, carrots
Late Night Snack: I'm pretty full, so don't think I'll eat before bed
Had a really bad day today at work - hoping tomorrow is better.

Week #3: Saturday and Sunday
Saturday:
Work Out: 50 minutes of P90X2 Plyocide - Brutal! My lungs were burning for two hours after.
Eating: I ate pretty well, but I did eat some of the "Steamers" with Brocolli and cheese. The bag says 45 calories and 0 fat, but since it had the "faux cheese" I'm guessing it wasn't the best thing to eat. Perhaps too many carbs and I ate a bit serving.
Sunday:
Work Out: I didn't work out - skipped day #3 of working out. Stupid me, but we were so busy I couldn't get it in.
Eating: I ate pretty well, but missed my snack in the am. I went to a movie with my family and had a good handful of Reeces Pieces. Ugh! I know. Major cheat and my downfall.
Did I tell you on Friday I was not down any LBs?? Same as last week: 154.5 pounds. Seriously??? I worked so hard! Lauren says she can see it in my arms. I hope so, as I'm not seeing so much yet.

Week #3: Thursday and Friday recap
I can't believe I forgot to post since LAST Wednesday! Almost a week. So bad of me. I just have so much going on and had to take off a couple days from work to take my Mom to an appointment and my Daughter to an appointment. Such is life of a busy working Mom, right?
So, Thursday, I didn't work out - DAY OFF. My eating was pretty regular and spot on
Friday Workout: Chest and Back and Abs with lauren
Frieday eating: I ate pretty well thruoghout the day, but I took Friday as my 'Cheat Meal' at night since Brent and I were able to get away for a few hours.
For my cheat meal, I ate: wings, a bison burrito with light cheese (not so bad!) and shared a bread pudding for dessert. Oh, and not to mention those 2 Heifewezens at the Brewery! Yum!! We went to a movie and my husband got popcorn. I just had a diet soda.
