Dammit dammit dammit...
I must keep tracking my food everyday. I haven't tracked my food on my tracker since Tuesday. Although I have been tracking it in my head, but I have gone over my plan yesterday and thursday, and possibly wednesday as well. :0(
To undo most of the damage I went for an extra 5 km hike last night, and will do something today as well...(turbo jam maybe? I have missed it these past three weeks!)
Anyways, have already tracked my breakfast and will continue to track EVERY meal!!!

Day 16 & 17
Oooops forgot to post yesterday...
Things are going good! Except must refrain from taking nibbles of things lying around...baaad habit to get into, and I have put a stop to it today!
Otherwise, sticking to my meal plan, making it to bootcamp, yay me.
Oh, and I measured myself today, and have lost 1 inch of my waist and .5 inch off each thigh!
Wheeeeeeee....!!!!!!

Day 15
Week 3 has begun...
It was upper body day today, and to make the regular routine even harder, we are now encorporating sprinting drills in with our pushups, bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, rows, etc... and we are now up to sets of 20.
I managed to get through the weekend mostly on plan...I did make a coffee cake on the weekend which I had two pieces of. However, it WAS made with whole wheat flour, oats, tons of berries, low sugar, and no oil, so not bad...it did bump my calories for Saturday up to 1400, but whatever.
I also neglected to go to the Saturday class to make up for the missed Tuesday, but whatever. I'm really trying to beat myself up for things.
Today's menu
1 piece toast
1 TB peanut butter
1/2 cup yogurt
1/4 cup blueberries
Wonton soup
Veggies
Baked chips
Turkey meatloaf
Mashed potatoes
mixed vegetables
Total calories: 1200

Day 6 & 7
I have completed Week 1, with every bootcamp class attended and 100% on my meal plan!!!
It wasn't easy this weekend. Its so easy to go off course when you don't have the normal workday structure, but I didn't let it get the better of me...yippee!

Day 5
I fucking hate bootcamp, and I fucking hate my meal plan. The only thing good about today is that it's Friday.
Today was gauntlet day, where we do total body mixed with sprinting drills. Every muscle is screaming in pain, and I can barely get up after I sit down. Ugh.
To make things worse, my hunger is out of control today and it's donut friday. However, I WILL persevere and stick to my meal plan!
Today:
1 egg & 1 egg white
1 piece toast
1 Tbsp peanut butter
coffee
1.5 cups spaghetti
1 cup sauce
red pepper and carrot sticks
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 turkey sausage
1 serving rice and beans
salad???

MEH.

It was legs day at bootcamp, so it was lots of lunges, squats, leapfrogs up hills, step ups on benches, more lunges, more squats, and so on and so on...my legs were burning pretty bad, and they feel like jello now. Thank god I sit all day at work. I also have rowing practice tonight, and my arms are still pretty sore, so I'll see how that goes.
Still sticking with the meal plan! I have not so much as had one nibble of something that wasn't on my plan. Just hope I will be able to make it through donut friday tomorrow!

Day...3...
Today was TOUGH.
My abs were still burning from all the crunches, planks, etc from yesterday, and today was core day. Started with the regular 1 km run, and then it was full-on ab assault for 45 bloody minutes. It was nuts - crunches to plank to blossom (which is NOT as nice as it sounds) to side bends, etc etc... I can barely lift my arms, and everytime I laugh I feel like someone is stabbing me in the stomach. It can only get better, RIGHT???
To make things more difficult, I am REALLY hungry today. I think this meal plan is starting to catch up with me a bit, so today will definitely be a challenge. But I am sticking to my plan, come hell or high water!!
My menu for today:
1 egg, 2 egg whites
2 whole grain toast
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 bowl soup with shrimp wontons and vegetables in beef broth
Caesar salad
4 oz flank steak
1 sugar free pudding
Total Calories: 1173

Day 1
I'm off to a damn good start, if I do say so myself :)
Bootcamp started with fitness assessments and measurements, so that we can compare at the end. So while I don't think I'll be posting a before pic (ick) I will post my measurements.
They were:
Bicep 12"
Chest 40.5"
Abdomen 37.5"
Hips 41.5"
Thigh 24.75"
Calf 15"
I did better in the fitness assessments than with the measurements...beat everyone else in the 1 km jog (5:02) and the squat hold (2:01) so I'm pretty pleased overall. Plus I really like the instructors.
I have also stayed 100% on plan with my eating today!
Today's menu:
1 egg& 2 whites
2 slices back bacon
coffee
bun
100 gr turkey
honey mustard
apple
1 turkey sausage
1 serving lentils &rice
green salad w/ 1 tsp oil
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup blueberries

'Twas the night before bootcamp...
Yoga mat...check!
Dumbbells...check!
Big bouncy ball...check!
So what can I say...I am sick of looking at all my cute tops and sexy jeans that have been collecting dust at the top of my closet, and feeling like a sausage in a scuba suit every time I try anything on. And with my high school reunion coming up in 10 weeks (ugh), its time for something drastic. So I'm starting Survivor Bootcamp tomorrow, 5 days a week, for the next six weeks. I'll be blogging about it here in the hopes that it will keep me on track and out of bed at 5:30 am. I'm following their meal plan also, so that means about 1200 calories a day (doable), and no alcohol (errrr...).
How bad can 6 weeks be??? I guess I'll find out soon enough...
p.s. I'll post a before pic tomorrow!
