RES Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Well, here we go again....Last challenge I managed to get back on to food tracking and exercise on a regular basis...problem was, my short term goals are to not only feel better, but I would like to lose this extra 30 or so pounds I have hanging around, and the workout plan I was following wasn't doing it...but when I was following my workout plan last year before the holidays/family time/chaos at work, I was consistently losing, so we're going to go back to that, with a few minor changes. Keep the elliptical three times a week, reduce the carbs, do yoga on the weekends, and something on the other two days of the week, even if it's just walking around the neighborhood or more yoga. I'm going to keep tracking as well as posting the recipes when possible, 100% including cheats...Grading will be like this EllipticalA – All 18 workouts (+3 STR, +2STA)B – Skipped 1-3 workouts (2 STR, +1.5 STA)C – Skipped 4-6 workouts (+.1.5 STR, +1 STA)D – Skipped 7-9 workouts (+1 STR, +.5 STA)F – Skipped more than 9 workouts.Other/YogaA – All 18 (+2 CHA, +3 DEX)B – Skipped 1-3 (+1.5 CHA, +2 DEX)C – Skipped 4-6 (+1 CHA, +1 DEX)D – Skipped 7-9 (+.5 CHA, +.5 DEX)F – Skipped more than 9 workouts.Eating/TrackingA - Eat right, track daily (+5 CON)B - 2 cheats, missed tracking (+4 CON)C - 4 cheats, missed tracking (+3 CON)D - 6 cheats, missed tracking(+2 CON)F - More than 7 cheats I need to work on my sleep as well...that's a bit tougher because I go to bed by 10 every night, even weekends, I get up at the same time every morning...for for whatever reason I'm either waking up during the night or do not feel like I'm resting, because I'm absolutely drained lately...And now I'm off to stalk find my favorite nerds!! 3 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

RES Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Oh wow has this been a Monday or what???Had a nice update typed out and the internet ate it (must be as hungry as I am!)The girlfriend is still at work, her week to cook...dinner is done (crock pot) but I'm being nice and not eating without her (I need to work on IF is what I'm telling myself)Typical Monday, such a mix of good and bad... The good, pushed myself to 15 minutes on the elliptical, up from 10Breakfast - henceforth known as "The Usual" bacon, spinach, egg scrambleLunch - leftover baked spaghetti I made last weekDinner - Crockpot Chili The bad, get a call from one of my kitchen crew, she's sick...get to work and find that the head of nursing thinks she's in charge of my EVS crew ...to top it off they are calling for rain, ice, and wintry mix tonight, oh did I mention I have a 43 mile drive to work (one way)? So...no justification for it, but I had a piece of spice cake, with cream cheese frosting...It's only once, It will not happen againbut today 2 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

Mistr Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Your work is just one thing after another, isn't it? I totally understand why the spice cake called your name. While it is always more fun to eat dinner with the SO (especially when she cooked), sometimes getting fed in a timely fashion is more important. Hungry = grouchy in my world.

RES Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Woke up this morning with every intention of getting on the elliptical, but I could barely move...this weather has my RA acting up big time, takes a couple hours to get going on days like this...but once I did get going, I made up for yesterdays missed workout with a 135 piece truck. Breakfast - usualLunch - leftover baked spaghettiDinner - Broccoli Breadcrumb baked salmon, no butternut noodles this time, cutting it up and putting it with brussel sprouts Left work early (actually closer to on time) due to the weather, I will be so glad when this gray, gloomy, rainy, COLD, mess is gone!! I need sun...need sand and salt water too but right now I'll settle for sun! Is it bad that I could go to sleep this early? Pain is exhausting... 2 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!
