It's exactly two weeks until I'll be filming "Hit the Road" a Weather Channel travel show with my pen pal Jenny. Exciting, I know. But frightening that we'll be driving down the coast of CA donning bikinis (cringe). It's one thing to snap a photo in Miami and delete it if my love handles are protruding, It's another thing to have a camera man following as I clumsily fall off a surf board in a bikini. yikes.
So starting tomorrow I'll be daily posting my weight, eating and exercise schedule. Feel free to join me on my way to super skinny!
Summary 4/8;
Exercise: None
Eating: Refusing to publish that, but picture what 3000 cals & 200 g of sugar would look like
Summary 4/9
Exercise: AM Spinning & PM Pilates
Eating: 1 scoop care 1 protein powder with 1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese || 1 cup mixed veggies with 1 tsp olive oil and garlic || 2 small apples || 2 adora dark choco calcium supplements || baby carrots & 4 tsp garlic lover hummus || 1/2 cup fresh fruit || 1 scoop care one protein powder || grilled brussels sprouts and broccoli with balsamic vinegar || 2 glasses of sweet red wine
Damage: Cals 1069 Fat 34 g Cholesterol 19 mg Sodium 967 mg Carbs 98 g Fiber 13 g Protein 44 g Sugars 53 g
Reflections: ok, happy about the cals. happy about the 2 gym appearances. Happy that for the first time in probably 2 months i didn't dive into the peanut butter or a bag of nuts (my addiction). At pilates I was rather unnerved by the bulging of my stomach in C-curve, and I'm mad I got the sweet red wine to bump up my sugar intake, and that I couldn't have just one dark chocolate ... but all in all, I had a pretty good day! I even said no to homemade coconut vanilla cake at work!

Reflections: hm. welp didn't need the mimosa. or the sangrias. or the 2 dark chocolates. or the glass of wine when I was already very buzzed. Fail.

Reflections: Victory, right? With only 534 cals and not a rumbling belly? Wrong. Not nearly enough protein and way too much sugar and sodium (the salsa and olives are the culprits). Happy that I didn't waste half my calories on alcohol today though. success! Summary 4/8;

Reflections: I'm embarrassed about posting how much I've been slugging 'em back! But yestd was Marathon monday and the entire city was out celebrating an 80 degree day. Plus my boss surprised us with office Mai Tais, can't really say no, it'd be rude! I need to cut back on my sodium bad. I'm holding on to water weight and looking puffy. My goal for the next 5 days is to keep carbs and fat low, cals around 1000 and protein up around 30 or 40. The day before I leave maybe I'll skip fruit (even though I lOVE it) to keep carbs and sugar at bay.

Reflections: Nice not putting any alcohol in my system. could've done without the sugar laden trail mix, but I've been seriously lacking in solid protein, so nuts are a plus!
Summary 4/18
Reflections: LOVED enjoying a sit down dinner with my mom and dad tonight. Especially a healthy one! Today was a great day of eating and exercise. I didn't need the post cereal, but it just tastes so good!

Reflections: Feeling bad about breakfast and eating more of that dreaded sugar laden cereal, but I made cookies tonight and did not even eat one! (hence the glasses of wine). Talk about will power - I've don't work on cookie dough before, so I deserve a pat on the back AND 2 glasses of wine.
