April Challenge

 

Ok everyone. Here is an April Challenge should you choose to do it. I realize that the days are off but just adjust them accordingly.

Here is a quick recap of my day yesterday and then I will be MIA until Monday.

Yesterday was legs.I think I mentioned that yesterday afternoon.

I walked and then worked with Eric. We concentrated on Hamstrings and then went over and did the leg press for my glutes. I ended up doing 2 sets of 12 reps at 400 lbs. Next time I want to increase the weight.

By evening I still felt fine and worked my shoulders. 

Then came time for RPM.

Oh holy $hit. First was 2 warm up songs. Then 3 mountain tracks back to back. Think HIGH HIGH HIGH resistance. Then you go up the mountain you have to come down. 3 tracks of speedwork. And if that wasnt bad enough, then there were 2 tracks of intervals before 2 cool downs. SHIT SHIT SHIT on a stick. I got down on the floor to switch my shoes and I had trouble getting back up.

I burned 1009 calories at the gym last night and that was from RPM. 

Today I weighed....JUST KIDDING! No scale today. In fact, some of us from the gym have sworn off the scale. Me for a long time, others for a month.

And today I am sore. 

Especially my hammies, glutes and calves. 

Today is a rest day. In fact, I am resting until Monday. Then Monday night I have Zumba class then I work with Eric. I want to hit the legs REALLY hard again to carry me thru until Friday. I can work my upper body while at my parents more easily than I can do my lower. Then Friday I am working with him again and depending on how well I worked my upper, we will decide whether to work upper body or lower.

Ok. I really have to run. I still need to shower and pack for the whole family. 

Toodles and have a great weekend and step away from the chocolate and jellybeans!!!!

Sigh. I HAVE to do it....

This is going to be down and dirty and quick. Hmmm...that could be bad taken out of context.

Anyways

I did my new progress pictures...

And I will post them. Just hang onto your shorts.

I did two different sets. One is every other month since I started working with Eric. The other is from March 1st til today...so 28 days.

And in the March photos you can see that my weight went UP but that my size went DOWN. Because of this, Eric told me today to throw away my scale.

To STOP weighing myself.
Sigh. I am gonna have to do it. It is obvious that I am making progress and as long as I dont fuck up and keep doing what I am doing, the number on the scale doesnt matter. I'm gonna be increasing in weight because of muscle.

Its so hard! It is like breaking up with a boyfriend of 3 years. You know the relationship isnt going anywhere but you are scared of being without someone. UGH.

So anyways...yup. Bye bye scale. Today is the last weigh in number you will see. 158.5.

Yesterday was a rest day for me and I still managed to lose a pound.

This morning I walked 1.5 miles and then did legs with Eric. And we did one of my favorite moves. The leg press. Last time we did leg press with serious weight was when I did 400 lbs 6 times. Today I did 400 lbs 12 times. And not only that, I did 2 sets of 12 at 400 lbs. Talk about progress right?

Tonight is RPM. Before that will be shoulders.

Ok enough is enough.

Picture time and then I am off to study while the house is quiet.

Now for the really impressive pictures from March 1st til today. This gives me a great idea of how I am doing because I am wearing the same "too small" swimsuit.

Love this side shot. Eric noticed how well my quads are doing. See the size difference???
And as you can tell, weight doesnt play a factor when toning. The scale went up 5.5 lbs but obviously I got smaller and tighter. I had no idea how much until I looked at the photos side by side.

Ok so that is it for today. Hope you enjoy. Not sure if I will be on here much for a little while. I will be taking care of my mom next week and helping her out as she recovers from surgery so I doubt I will have a chance to blog. Never fear though. I will be back!! You can always reach me by my email!!

Tip of the Day:

Feel the Burn?

I posted this because I like her abs. Yup. Ab envy, right here.

That and the phrase is nice too. But oh those abs.

Ahem...anyways...onto yesterdays recap.

First I will start off by saying that my eating was right on. No binges, no bad food.

It helped going to visit my grandma last night. I didnt get home until about 9:30 so "dinner" was a little bit of pork, some scallions and hummus. Then it was time for my casein shake which I added some peanut butter to.

I had taken a banana with me in the car and had eaten that on the way home too so that I had something in my tummy.

My workout yesterday was great.

First I walked a mile at 4.0mph, incline 7.0. Then I foam rolled until Eric was ready.

Then we hit the upper body.

Up first was an bentover row on a "machine" that you add weights to. So it wasnt like you pick your weight. You add the free weights. It is an odd little machine and hard to describe.

After that, he had me do pushups on a bench. Feet on the floor, arms on the side of the bench to help relieve pressure from my shoulder. He said they were looking good.

We repeated the rows adding more weight then he wanted to see if I could do pushups straight on the ground...regular style. I could!!! First time with no shoulder pain!

Then back to rows.

Then he said "how do we make these harder? Declined pushups." Fuck. I hated these doing P90X.

Feet on the bench, hands on the ground and I was able to pump out 10 of them. WTF? Really? I was impressing myself. LOL.

Rows again.

And finally for the hardest challenge we did clapping pushups. But instead of clapping, we just concentrated on me picking my hands up off the floor. I did 10 of those. And those babies were a challenge.

After that we moved onto pullups and tricep dips. I can tell I am getting stronger. My dips by the end were only needing about 80 lbs of assistance from the machine. And my pullups just over that. Slow but steady progress.

Abs were next. We used the incline bench where your feet are on the platform by the floor and you bend your upper half so your head when bent into an upside down "V" is down by the floor. Then you crunch up and return back down.

My abs were still sore from Monday night with the big balance ball but Eric had me take one set of those to the next level by using a 7lb weighted ball instead of the balance ball.

But because we worked my upper abs so hard the night before, we stopped those and did obliques on the inclined bench too and just alternated between those and the regular inclined sit ups.

From there was 15 minutes of RPM. Eric was subbing for Melissa. Each instructor has a different style and gets different followers. I love Melissa. She is a great trainer, she sings to her RPMers, and has lots of fun. Eric....well he is intense. And yesterday while I was looking for intensity, the class was not. I just wasnt feeling the energy that we usually have in our regular group. I made sure to pump up my resistance right away because I was only getting 15 minute and let me tell you....my legs were MUCH more sore than I originally thought. In those 15 minutes, I thought I was gonna DIE! But I made it thru.

Calories burned 521

Today I am SORE with a capital S. My abs NEVER get sore but today, ouch!

And arms...ouch!

And butt...ouch!

So not surprising that my weight was back up to 159.5. I think I have some lactic acid buildup. No biggie. I dont really sweat the weight much anymore.

And today I think I am gonna take a rest day. Concentrate on my certification.

I was going to work shoulders, but I will have time to do that tomorrow before RPM. Today I am just going to concentrate on stretching and getting rid of the soreness so I can hit my legs hard again tomorrow. It is crazy Thursday tomorrow afterall.

I still plan on eating as normal today. Oatmeal for breakfast, hard boiled eggs, veggies, hummus, eggs for lunch...tuna for dinner. Casein for snack before bed. yadda yadda...

And tomorrow (or maybe tonight) I am planning on taking new monthly pictures. Call me selfish, but I want to make sure I take them BEFORE Easter dinner. LOL. So watch out for progress pictures probably next week. I am excited. I'm hoping to see some good progress now that I am back with Eric and am working out 3 days a week. 

My question for you today is:

With Easter on Sunday, what are some healthy things you can put in your kids Easter basket?

Tip of the Day:

A Bit of Arm Ego

Morning everyone!

So let me just jump right into it because today is a VERY busy day for me.

Yesterday was a great day. Well wait...I should take that back a bit.

I went to teach Zumba and no one signed up! Seriously. Now last week I only had two of my regulars. And I knew they wouldnt be making it this week, so while not surprising, it was still disappointing.

The owner did tell me though that she is getting good feedback on the classes and they like us and she would tell me if they didnt. Which means that they will probably be having me take over the Thursday class soon as well as add some morning classes to the schedule. Woot!! It is a great start to me having a decent income to pay the insurance or car payment.

Because I didnt teach, I headed straight to Powerhouse. I had brought a clementine and a banana with me to have after Zumba, but I kept hearing Eric in my head. "Thats not a meal. Where is the protein? Where is the veggies?" So I went to the Coney Island that is a couple shops down from the gym and ordered a vegetarian egg white omelette with a side of sliced tomatoes. Grabbed it and went to my car to eat. Well damn it, they didnt use egg whites. Regular eggs. No biggie. I didnt eat hard boiled eggs for lunch like usual because I was out and needed to boil more.

So I had about 1/2 to 2/3 my omelette (it was huge!) and my whole 4 slices of tomatoes and went to the gym.

Eric was there waiting on a client he squeezed in at 7 so I told him I was here. He wasnt sure if he was going to be able to start me early or not but I told him no biggie because I had literally JUST eaten and wanted my belly to settle a bit. He thought that was a good idea too so I just went and walked on the treadmill.

I did 4.0mph at 7.0 incline for 2 miles. Then I foam rolled until he came and got me.

Then we did squat and then long jumps. He took a towel and placed it on the floor for me to stand behind. Then he had me jump as far as I could go forward and took the other towel and marked it.

Then he had me jump back and forth over those two towels 10 times fast. Jump, turn around, jump, turn around...

Then we did squats again.

This time for the long jump he had me add in 30 quick squats after I did the 10 jumps. Oh how this man likes to torture.

But I keep going back for more...isnt that Stockholm Syndrome?

After we completed three times on that circuit, he had me do deadlifts then backward lunges.

Complete that circuit three times adding weight to the lunges each time to hold in my hands.

Then was abs.

We did the big balance ball ab crunch.

Balance ball in hands above head. Crunch up both hands and legs, place ball between legs and lower. Raise again TAKE ball from legs and lower back with ball above head. That was ONE!

We did that 10 times for 3 circuits. Whew.

After that we were done.

I went home and had a casein shake but added some pretzels and natural peanut butter to it. I like it like that after a workout. Gets me some regular protein and carbs and adds some flavor.

Today I go back to the gym in the AM to work upper body. First I will probably do some walking with an incline to flush the legs. Then upper body time.

One thing I didnt tell you that Eric told me Saturday was that he has a client that says they want MY arms. Me. My arms. How cool is that??? I didnt think my arms were that special...YET. But someone else does. Makes me want to work them harder. Get them more toned.

Anyways...once we do that, Eric is subbing for Melissa for RPM. I told him I would come in for 15 min of the class but I have to be gone by 10:30 to get Landry. He thought it would be a good idea too so I can come in and flush the legs after last night. So we need to get cracking and get started. I probably wont wear my cycling shoes today because I will be in there for such a short amount of time so it will be interesting to see how it affects my stride.

Then once I get home I will have the rest of my omelette, some pretzels and hummus and more veggies. Then tonight I will be going to visit my grandma to watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Fun times.

Oh. My moms surgery went well yesterday. It took longer than anticipated because the damage was worse than they thought. But she is recuperating nicely in the hospital and has some good pain meds. I spoke to her twice yesterday.

I think that is the news for me today. Oh geeze. Today I weighed in at 158.5. Lost a pound from yesterday. Sort of interesting I think. I did less on my Monday than normal and lost weight. Ha.

And I am a good sore today. Not a pain sore. So I think the problem I was having in my leg is all healed.

What is on your schedule for today?

Tip of the Day:

Weekend Wrapup

Lets see...

Where did I leave off last week?

Zumba was Friday night. I did some squats and leg work before that which felt awesome. I ended up burning only 569 calories the entire time at the gym which meant that I must have been dogging it during Zumba but it really didnt feel that way.

That night I imbibed in some alcohol...ok...maybe three. And I had some hot wings. I thought the damage was done but in the morning I had only gained a half pound to 159.5. I thought that was good and I was fine with it.

Saturday I taught Zumba. I had two people. One was a regular and the other a brand new drop in person to the gym who had never taken a Zumba class before in her life. So we went a bit slower and did some different songs to mix it up for my regular too. Before class I ran a mile on the treadmill as well for a warm up. While I was there, I burned 719 calories.

That night I went with K and saw Oz. I didnt get popcorn or pop. Instead I packed a baggie with pretzels, almonds, a few semi sweet chocolate chips and some cocoa nibs. K bought me a water.

The movie was awesome. Tornado scene a bit close to home but all in all a great movie but something you should NOT take the kids to.

Then I was off to the bowling alley for a birthday party for one of my RPM peeps. She is turning 29 and wanted to celebrate her last year being in her 20's. I didnt bowl but I did great. I stuck with water and didnt touch the pizza they ordered. Quite a few people got smashed. I dont know how they were gonna work out the next day. LOL. When I got home about 1am I had some of my left over wings. It had been a while since I had anything and I wanted to stick with protein.

Sunday I woke up actually having lost a half pound. Down to 159.0.

Yesterday was a rest day for me. I was busy back and forth visiting my grandma in the nursing home and then my aunt and didnt get home til dinner time. She isnt doing well (my grandma) and so I want to try to spend more time with her. Wearing on me with a drive one way of almost an hour, but I am trying to bump up the visitations.

I think it only fair to support my parents and aunts and uncles as they are preparing to lose their last surviving parent. I would want the same if it were my mom laying in that bed.

Here is my question to you...and it is sort of eating at me.

I messaged my cousin and my other cousins wife on FB. Same conversation, both together. Stating that grandma isnt doing well. 2 weeks was a significant difference. She cant talk because she has a form of Parkinsons so her body is literally freezing into a mummy like state. Because of this, conversation and visiting is VERY hard unless you have someone to chat with and she can listen in. I asked them to please start to visit her once a week with their parent (who visits every weekday except thursday) or to take my cell and if need be I will come down as well. They live in the same town as her nursing home. I live an hour away. They havent been AT ALL to see her. I know it is hard. I know they are busy...hell we all are busy...but I wanted to let them know that she is sliding fast and I dont want them to have regrets of not seeing her.

WELL...

My cousins wife (and her husband (my cousin)who is NOT on FB) live in my grandmas house (just as a sidenote)

And today when I checked to see who read the conversation, it said she (cousins wife) "left the conversation". No acknowledgement or anything. No...I will talk to your cousin. Nada.

Is that rude? Selfish? Or am I reading too much into it?

I am only asking for 30 min to an hour one day a week to just go in and talk. It really pisses me off.

I dont know her very well. They dont come to a ton of family things...not that we have a ton of family things. I just think that you read a long pleading letter, you at least say yes...I will talk with so and so. I mean, it is her father in law that visits 4 days a week. How hard is it to go with him one night when you live in the same town?

GEEZE!!

Anyways...Enough. Let me know what you think. As you can maybe tell, I am fired up about it.

So today.

Woke up to 159.5. I am fine with it because yesterday was a rest day.
Tonight is Zumba class. I wonder how many people I will get.

Then I head to Powerhouse for legs with Eric. Yummy. Favorite body part because it needs the most work.

OHHHHH And on Friday I signed up with ISSA for my personal trainer certification.

This is no joke people.

The book they are sending me is 700 pages but I could start working online for it immediately.

The first chapter is all about metabolism and how the body uses triphosphate and uses it into diphosphate during exercise and how it has to be brought back up to a tri phosphate. No joke. Chemistry and biology.

I made it thru that unit and took the practice quiz and passed with 7 out of 8- which I think the one I got wrong was a misleading question.

Now I am onto unit 2 which is basic cell makeup leading into organelles and systems etc.

This is not easy people.

Eric said that this is why a basic meat head cant be a trainer. LOL.

Once I get past the first 2-3 units, it should get more interesting. There are 33 units. Right now, I am on unit 2. This course takes people 10-12 weeks to pass IF you can study about an hour a day. I am hoping that by the end of next week, I can be into unit 15. The boys will be with grandpa up north and I will be helping my mom while she lays in bed recovering from foot surgery. I should have LOTS of time to study.

I know there is no rush, but it would be nice to do it and get it done. Then I can go back and really concentrate on the meat of the book and what I REALLY need to know. I still need to get certified in CPR as well before I can take my final test.That isnt a problem. My brother in law can teach me because he is licensed. Makes it easier.

Ok I *think* that is all the news for now. I will be on and off this week because of the need to keep studying so just bear with me for a while. I should hopefully be able to still write quick blog entries in the morning but I have been trying to study when the boys are still sleeping too.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Tip of the Day:

Mindfulness and Girl Crush

Morning y'all!

First let me start off by saying my workouts rocked yesterday.

I ended up running one mile and then walking another for warm up yesterday in the AM. I didnt want to run the whole thing and have my legs spent for the evening. Good decision on my part.

Then I worked with Eric on upper body. We did chest presses and spiderman push ups for one circuit. Then tricep dips (on the machine), laying down tricep presses using a weight and then a static exercise where you squeeze a balance ball to all hell for 30-40 seconds. OUCH! That was another circuit. Then we moved onto abs. I did an elevated scissor kick, then twists using a weighted bar and then kettlebell swings. It was a great workout. Not super high cardio but I burned 477 calories in the hour.

Then that evening I went back and worked on my shoulders. When I was done with that it was time for RPM+. Oh man! It was insane! Over 65 minutes of hard core bust it out fast paced cycling.

Calories burned in the PM at the gym: 731

My eating was insane yesterday. Not in a bad way, but in a way that I was always hungry yesterday.

I didnt eat any junk. Just good for me stuff but man!

It was funny because I had made a comment on facebook about being hungry all day and that I had just eaten a bowl of oatmeal and half a banana. Eric yelled at me on it saying I have to feed my muscles a well balanced meal. Well that morning at the gym he said to eat some oatmeal before RPM. Man!

So when I saw him between shoulders and RPM he asked me what I had eaten. This is what I told him:

Breakfast was my pancake thing with blueberries and my wheatgrass. Then after the AM gym I had a protein shake. Then for lunch I had a half a can of tuna, scallions, celery and hummus. Then for snack I had a Larabar. Then before leaving for the gym I had some roast beef, oatmeal (3/4 cp uncooked) and a half a banana. I think I had a pretty well rounded meal as far as protein goes.

He laughed and said he was trying to help. He thought that when I said I was still hungry that I had skipped a meal. ROFL. Ah no.

So then he told me that when I go home to eat some more. Finish my tuna. It is an easily digested protein.

So I did. Dinner was my half can of tuna, some roasted red pepper hummus and some pretzels.

Then I had my casein shake.

And I wasnt stuffed.

This morning I woke up at 159.0. It wasnt from what I ate. And I burned over 1000 calories yesterday so it wasnt because I had too many calories . My only assumption can be that it is muscles. Hey! I will take that!

But I do have to say that I am having a very hard time with weight going up. I know I said it yesterday and I will probably keep saying it. But as my weight creeps, I am starting to have nightmares. Seriously. Of me gaining the weight back. Ridiculous I know, but nightmares just the same. It isnt an eating disorder...I had over 1600 calories yesterday...but maybe more of an obsession. I am just so mindful of what I have been eating and I have been working so hard to get to a certain weight that it is hard to see the numbers go back up. My clothes still fit fine and everything...I just feel like my head isnt to where I want it to be yet. My body knows what I am trying to do and it is responding...my brain hasnt caught up from the "we are trying to LOSE weight, not GAIN" mentality.

NicoleWilkins

I know what I want...I want to look like Dana Linn Bailey...or Nicole Wilkins...bodybuilder and fitness competitors...This is my ultimate goal... So I may have to put the scale a way for a while. I really want to chronicle this journey which is why I still am doing the daily weigh ins. I want to show with my pictures that I can weigh more but be smaller and fitter. But man...this is screwing with my head!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dana Linn Bailey

And I have a HUGE crush on Dana Linn. One of the other instructors at the gym turned me onto her and I just love her. I know she looks SUPER built in the photo I posted...and she is. But when she isnt working out, she looks softer...but still well defined. Slowly I am getting there. It is a marathon and not a race and I have to keep reminding myself of that. And I know it will take a while for my brain to catch up too. Hopefully when I post new progress pictures and I see that things are firming but I am weighing more, I will know I am on the right track.

So today I dont have much on the docket. Just Zumba tonight. And because I need to get to the gym SO EARLY to sign up for class, I will probably do my abs and my calves today.

And I am cutting back the calories a bit today because I am obviously not working out like my Thursday.

So here is what is on the docket today for my food...as of right now...

Breakfast. Oatmeal with flaxseed, blueberries and applesauce. 2 hard boiled eggs. Wheatgrass juice
Lunch: half a can of tuna (or roast beef), celery, scallions, hummus, 2 hard boiled eggs
Dinner: clementine and tuna
Snack before gym: cheese stick
Snack before bed: casein shake

That puts me at 1120 calories for the day. Goal is 1210 so I have some wiggle room PLUS I will be burning at the gym.

OHHH and I forgot to tell you all yesterday. I bought my first pair of skinny pants. I went to Kohls the other day to pay my bill and to wait to Dicks to open to get lifting straps and I was looking at the clearance rack. And there they were. A pair of pleather Vera Wang pants in a size 8. Oh baby. I thought...what the heck...I will try them on. And I found a really cute pink loose top on the clearance rack as well. Vera Wang again. I found some other things to try on as well but they were a yeah no or didnt fit sort of thing. And these pants...they slid right up. Not too tight but then again, they hug the curves because they are a skinny pant. And with the top I look oh so cute. They were mine! The pants? $10! For Vera. The shirt? $7. For Vera. The outfit cost less than $20. I would say that that was a great deal. I cant wait to wear them.

I was going to tomorrow night for my friends birthday BUT we are going bowling and somehow I just dont see the rocker/pleather pant look going well with bowling shoes...

Tip of the Day: I hate to keep harping on this, but this stuff is SO bad for you!!

Slaying the Snacking Dragon

I know I have posted this before, but it is my mantra, my inspiration, my motivation and something that keeps me going.

Yesterday was a great day.

I FINALLY was able to play with my Kinect Zumba Core game. I did the Intermediate class that was 48 minutes long and burned 388 calories. It felt like I burned way more than that though. I was DRIPPING with sweat. My only criticism with the game is that there is too much down time between songs. It is probably great for someone starting out that needs water after every song, but I dont and I wanted it to be quicker to keep my heart rate up. I think that is why the burn wasnt quite there.

Eating was SPOT ON. Seriously. No unplanned snacking whatsoever.

For breakfast I had my oatmeal and hard boiled eggs. Lunch I had that raw protein shake. After a while I got a little hungry but instead of going to pretzels and junk food, I had a scallion, some baby carrots and some hummus. Dinner I went a tad off course because I wanted some of the dinner I made to see how it was. New recipe for a loaded baked potato and buffalo chicken casserole. First I ate what I had planned on. A cheese stick, clementine, some pretzels and a half can of tuna. THEN I had some of the casserole. It was DELICIOUS!! but definitely not diet friendly.

I decided that I wanted to go to K's house and go running on her treadmill. I have a Martian Marathon (10k) coming up on April 13th and I want to make sure that I can run it. I havent really been focusing on distance but instead on speed so I need to readjust a bit for it. So last night I headed to her place and started running. OMG! I forgot was it was like to run in her basement. Our basement is cold and a great place to run. Hers is in the laundry/furnace room and it is HOT. I got two miles in before I said forget it and did a quick walk with a high incline. I did a total of 4 miles though. Her house will be a great place to run in the summer. Cool in the basement. But for now? Oh boy. Great in a pinch and great for a sweat. In an hour I burned 550 calories. Not bad.

A total of 938 calories burned yesterday.

By the time I got home I just wanted to sit on the couch and veg. And I didnt snack. Aaron went downstairs and ran on the elliptical while I drank my casein shake. That might be the trick to slaying the snack dragon. Evening workouts. Now a lot of my workouts are in the evenings so it doesnt really apply those days- Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays- because I get home, have a quick dinner and my shake and go to bed. It is the OTHER days I am worried about. And yesterday I did apply the gum technique after my lunch protein shake. That helped immensely! So....baby steps people!

Today I weighed in at 158.0. A half pound loss. One thing I am noticing is that my weight doesnt fluctuate by 2-3 lbs a day anymore since I started weight training. It must be the muscle that is getting added.

And while I am ok with that, it is still a VERY hard thing to step on the scale and not see the numbers budge OR (gasp) to see the numbers go UP. When you have been doing weight loss mode for 3 years, it takes a while for the head to readjust- at least for me anyways.

Ok. Onto my crazy Thursday.

This morning is some running and then upper body with Eric. Chest and triceps. And my chest still hurts from Tuesday and we didnt even DO chest. So boy am I in for it today.

Then tonight is shoulders and RPM. And not only is it RPM, but RPM+. Which means 65 minutes of cycling HELL. Oh yeah. Bring it.

Here is what I am planning on eating for the day:
Breakfast- egg white oatmeal omelet thing with blueberries, my juice with wheatgrass
Snack- Powerhouse protein shake post workout
Lunch- celery, scallions, hummus, 2 hard boiled eggs
Snack- pre evening workout- Apple pie Larabar
Dinner- clementine, string cheese
Snack- casein shake

This totals 1469 calories for the day. Right now before working out, this is over my allowed calories by 259. Obviously I will be burning WAY more than 259 calories for the day so I am not really worried about being over and just want to make sure that I have enough to eat and keep me going.

Ok so that is my day... how does your day look? Do you have any crazy days like mine?
