Allie and Josh's Biggest Loser Million Pound Match-Up space

Well to be completely honest, things have not being going very well. This past weekend we went out twice. Not healthy either. Monday was the only day we made it to the gym in the last week, I can credit that to Joey still being sick with a runny nose and they wont let him stay in the daycare if he's sick... But Monday we were able to get a baby sitter so we went and did approx. 20 minutes of cardio and about 20-30 minutes of various muscle exercises. I didn't really feel in while doing it, but my shoulders were soar yesterday, a little today. Today, when we hit the gym I would really like to work my legs out a little more. I think instead of the tredmill I'll try and do 20 minutes on the bike, I usually feel like I've accomplished a bit when using the bike. as far as diet...

eek.

For one thing we have limited resources at the moment, But we really need some produce at the house. We have hardly anything. So I think after the gym this evening we'll do some grocery shopping. My hardest thing is to have variety. I really need to set up as close to a weekly chart as possible... ugh it's all just so stressful, even more so with the finance sitituations.

 

I really feel like what I need is a boost, both mental and physical. HELP!

 

 

 

Well. Last night's work out wasn't too bad or good I don't know. I was able to stink to the treadmill for 20 minutes at 3.5 and I went over a mile... I think I'm not completely sure about how that figures... then we did some different weight machines... over all... I felt like I was stressing the same areas over and over... SOO tomorrow we are suppose to have our second complimentary meeting with a trainer and at this point I am going to ask how to specifically target: 1. the back of my arms 2. the back of my legs and 3. my stomach. I think that the hour of cardio we did on Saturday did the most to my actual abdomin... and being that is were I lease desire my *extra body weight* I would like to specifically know how to get it to go away... lol Now I know that only concentrating on one thing isn't going to do any good... but I do want to know how to work out that one area, just so I know that I'm not going to the gym every other day and doing the same stuff over and over... we shall see...

 

Dinner after the gym wasn't as *horrible* as it could have been. I had about 8 oz of grilled turkey (over 2 hours) and at dinner I had 2 slices of whole wheat bread with about 1 tbsp light miracle whip and onion and a little salsa... I know that it wasn't necessary and I didn't need the extra sodium... BUT... late evening snack I gave into 1 low fat yogurt with my low fat granola...

 

Today the diet has been going well. I've had two protein and 2 startches some celery and an apple and 1 oz of cheese... and i'm almost to 80 ounces of water...

The plan of attack for Dinner is: Fish... either grilled or baked steamed frozen veggies and maybe 1/2 of baked potato... possibly a small salad

No gym tonight, Joey has his first runny nose ever! (I think it's this funky weather) and we can't take him to the gym day care if he's sick... not that we were going to go today anyway... but tomorrow for sure!

 

Well I hope everyone is doing well... I've been monitoring the scale... but I think Tuesday are going to be our actual *weigh in* days... so we shall see :)

Welllllllllllllllll.................

 

This weekend didn't go quite as planned... It wasn't as bad as it could have been... but all the same... I think... no I know that we consumed way too much sodium... But... We did not eat out! not once! so go us :) Friday night we had Lamb, steamed bok choy and one slice of bread. and then... I had a yogurt with low fat granola.... and a turkey sandwich, one slice of low fat cheese, on two slices of bread.... eek

 

Saturday we did get up to go to the gym :) I was laying in bed, had happened to look at the clock and it was just pass eight... and I did lay there a few minutes... thinking to myself... "I could just stay in bed... just keep sleeping.... no one will know..." except I would... and I did tell my Memere that we would be over there after we went to the GYM... so she would know... ugh... BUT In the end I did get up, got dressed and then had to conquer the ogre... JOSH :) once I was able to get him up and going I made breakfast that consisted of one slice of whole grain bread and about half a suggested serving of egg whites and once slice of cheese, I made one for each of us... and Joey, and we shared an orange and an apple. and then off to the gym we went :) We attended the "BODY PUMP" cardio class... I really didn't know what to expect, but it was a little harder than I had thought it was going to be... I was able to keep up with most of the class... Josh's arms were still soar from previous gym visits so he didn't do so bad considering. That lasted about an hour. After the gym we went and saw Memere and Richard (grandparents) for a bit and after that we decided that we would go to the beach. It's about a half to 45 minute drive. We took our time on the way, stopped at a few shops and around lunch time we got pretty hungry... and thats when it went icky... I dind't want to eat out so we stopped at Walmart. I got us one of their sub sandwiches... turkey on wheat... no mayo, but we did get the super big one instead of the "normal to small" size one... and then some whole grain chips.... and a package of buffalo pretzil bits.... and a box of 100 calorie oreo bites.... and water.... It's not as bad as it could have been... but it's still not what I should have done... ugh.... but it's been plaguing me all weekend... "I shouldn't have done that... we shouldn't have done that..." We ate at the beach and then headed home...

 

For dinner we had whole wheat pasta with mixed veggies and ***alfredo sauce... it was the package kind so I was able to use light margarine and fat free organic milk... but it was still a lot of sodium...

 

On Sunday I woke up, late, and more soar than I have ever been. My legs were throbing and my lower abdomin... under the fat so I knew it was my muscles or lack there of... lol but I took it pretty slow all day... it hurt the most when I went to sit down... over all it was a pretty lazy day. I did manage to give Chubby and Joey a bath... not together... and do some light house work....

 

As far as diet, we didn't really eat, "breakfast, lunch, and dinner". I don't exactly remember what we ate during the day... but for dinner I did make 4 oz turkey burgers, steamed some more bok choy and a salad. we ate the turkey burgers on pita with light miracle whip and one slice of cheese. for an evening snack I had a light yogurt with low fat granola... so all in all it wasn't that bad, but it could have been better.

 

We are planning on going to the gym tonight. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, I'm still a little soar in my legs, but just the front... so I'll probably try and do atleast 10 minutes of cardio and then try and concentrate on the muscles on the back of my body... back of legs, back, buttom, arms... we shall see...
