Day 5 - Jan 5, 2013 - Back to the gym!

Starting weight - unknown
total weight loss to date - unknown (scale battery dead)

Breakfast (a late breakfast) - home-made omelet - 2 egg whites, 1 whole egg with 2 small sausage patties and peppers with a bottle of water

Snack - 3 little mini rice cakes - this amounts to 25 calories

Lunch - i had a late breakfast, so didn't have lunch.

WENT TO THE GYM!!!!!  WAHOO!!!!!  Was not going to because I wanted to watch football, BUT i brought the headphones and watched the game while on the treadmill.  Was a great move!  did a 5k+.1 miles- a.k.a. 3.2 miles, it took 35 minutes and 45 seconds and i burned 516 calories!  Then went and did 12 sets of upper body lifting and 200 abs (on machines.)  I know that the machines don't work the abs as much as doing them on the floor, but it was either use the machines or take a full out break.  I was exhausted and it took all my energy to do the machine ab workout.

Dinner - Sirloin Steak - approx 6 oz, 1/2 serving of egg noodles, cooked carrots + broccoli, steam fresh mixed veggies, and a small salad with Cucumbers, lettuce, shredded cheese, chick peas and red wine vinegar.  I am FULL! (of good stuff!)  Had a seltzer with this meal.

THe fun part is that I definitely made meals for the next few days while I was at it.  Made 2 chef salads, 2 cold cut sandwiches (which are cut in half for snacks - like cold cut sliders) and made a steak left over meal with all the veggies from today.  Looking forward to eating it all and having NO EXCUSE to get food from the cafeteria or 7-11.  Kristyn got bananas today so we can make morning smoothies tomorrow.  WAHOO!

I really hope this keeps up.  I'm enjoying it.  Thanks to some of my friends who have been encouraging me.  It helps.  But boy is it time-consuming trying to be healthy, between cooking and working out - - - - - - - I may need to quit work!

So far, the only thing I could say i may have done differently is eaten twice as much steak and more egg noodles, with less veggies.  I probably would have snacked on some peanut butter cups too.  Kristyn's parents gave me a bag of like 150 of them.  THe mini ones - - -  THey stare me in the face every day.  So far, I have only had 2.  I forgot to blog that last night - before I went to dinner, I grabbed two and snuck them in and forgot about it since i went right to bed afterwards!

Snack - In the event that I actually am in the mood for what I am expecting to do, tonight, i will have another 3-4 mini rice cakes (whatever is left in the bag) and an italian ice.  If I stick to that for the night, then I won't have to log on here again until tomorrow night.  Lets go with that!  If i don't, then I will come back and change it.

Ok, I also had a piece of cheese and a piece of pepperoni.  Thats it. :-)
