Countdown to Vegas! My goal this week: get down to 133 lbs. by Saturday.
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008I usually find it easier to stick to a plan if I have a goal.
Right now, I would love to lose some of this post-show water and fat, adn get back down to the 126-lb range. My target date will be the USA’s in Vegas…I won’t be competing, just watching, but who wants to go to Vegas looking like a cow??? I have 8 weeks to get my game on…I know I can do it!!!
Yesterday was almost a wash…i managed 45 minutes of cardio in the morning, but didn’t get any other workouts / cardio for the rest of the day. For breakfast, I had 4 egg whites and a 1/2 cup of grits. I’ll need to remember to have some fruit for breakfast, because by the time I was ready to drive to work, I was hungry again and ate 1/2 cup of BareNaked Fruit n’ Nut Granola in the car. I ended up finishing the bag the rest of the day…that’s about 1540 calories!!! For lunch I had a small salad (romaine lettuce, tomato, and fat-free ranch dressing) with 4oz of chicken. For dinner I had 1/2 box Carr’s water crackers, 1/2 carton spreadable cheese, and 4oz grilled chicken breast with 3/4 bottle of Smoking Loon Merlot. I had a rough day and needed some soul smoothing.
Today I am back on track…I got up at 5am, and was at work and ran on the 4-mile trail out back in 45 minutes, then did some abs.
Meals / Supplements:
Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 3 scrambled eggs (whole) and 1 1/2 cups diced fruit (grapes, papaya, canteloupe, honeydew melon, strawberries). 1 Venom pill
Mid-morning snack: 3 scrambled eggs (whole) and 1/2 cup diced fruit (see above). I forgot my bottle of Venom so I took 2 "Thermo Fire" (Prolab)
Lunch: 4oz chicken, 4oz yams, 1/2 small salad (no appetite =( )
Workout: Squats: 20 @ 45lbs, 10 @ 115lbs, 8 @ 135lbs, 8 @ 115lbs, 15 @ 45lbs; Split-leg squats: 15 @ 30lbs, 15 @ BW, 15 @ BW; Sumo squats: 15 @ 15lbs X 3; Single-leg wall squats (BW): 15-12-12; Walking lunges: 10 (each leg) @ BW X 4
My clothes are finally starting to fit, and my face isn’t as puffy. I am still waiting for the x-ray results on my ankle to see if I have a chipped bone or not. I hope it heals soon!
On a positive note, 24-hour Fitness had a "Family Special" sale this weekend, so I was able to add my brother on to my gym membership for only $12/ month forever. YAY! 
I want to help him lose weight, put on some muscle, and feel good about himself! Anyone have any advice to get him unhooked from World of Warcraft?
