185lbs, I met my goal weight for this week, and definately on track to my goal range. I have 5 weeks before may 31st to reach my goal of 170-175lbs, I CAN DO IT!!! My diet has been the same as the last two weeks, still taking my cheat meals, but I think i’m going to cut them out for the next 5 weeks, or atleast not every week, maybe every other week. My weight is dropping ,but i’m not quite sure where the weight is coming from (i.e legs, butt, thighs, abs) a little confuse bc to me when i look at the update pics, i look the same. I guess they always say the person can’t tell the subtle changes on themselves but others can. Hmmmm, i don’t know about that one. As i sit here eating my oatmeal and turkey patties, I wonder to myself, "WHAT IF I DO REACH MY GOAL…..THEN WHAT DO I DO" i say this bc i never been to a point where i stopped trying to lose weight bc i reached my goal, i never been at my goal weight, and i’m so close i can taste it. But say i do get there, do i still eat strictly? do i still work out 6-7 days/week? can i not have a cocktail or two with friends, or carbs at night……I’m afraid just thinking about it. I’ll cross that bridge "WHEN" not if but "WHEN" I get there!!!

Goal for next weigh in……. 2lbs

Ok so week 8 was the the second week of eating only oatmeal and brown rice as my carbs and eating carbs usually around1pm (lunch) but no later than 3pm ( if i eat an apple bc i’m going to the gym to burn it off) I must say this no carb at night after the gym is working magic baby!!! I’m down 3lbs this week, and i feel so much leaner and tighter. Here’s a sample of my day of eating is like.

Tuesday 4/15/08

Breakfast- 1/2c oatmeal made with 1c water, 1tbsp of Natural Peanut butter, splenda,

                 2 slices turkey bacon

Meal 2- 1/2 pure protein bar (this only has 2 g sugar per bar)

Meal 3- 1/2 protein bar

Meal 4- 1cup brown rice (cooked), 4-5 oz ground chicken with taco seasoning, diced tomato, sprinkle cheese(1/8c), fat free sour cream (i rarely eat sour cream, i’m lactose intolerant)

meal 5- ( 30- 1 hour before gym) 1 apple, grande iced coffee with splenda (energy)

Cardio- 5:30pm

warm-up 5 mins 3.0, then i do intervals, increasing every min…. start at 5.5/5.7/5.9/6.1/6.3/6.5/6.7/6.9…..then back down to a walk, by the time i get to 6.5 i’m dying.lol I do that a few times, usually at intervals of 5 for the next, instead of 8. I go till a little over 2 miles of after 30 + mins.

Meal 6

chicken breast (boneless, skinless)

1c green beans

water

Thats just one day, usually lunch is brown rice with some type of protein, ground chicken, or chicken breast or canned salmon cooked with one egg (my version of chicken friend rice).

I passed my goal for this week by hitting 188lbs, goal for next weigh in is 186lbs. On to week 9!!! 13 lbs to go

Ok so two weeks ago when i weighed in on saturday, i weighed 195.5 , almost my whole orignal amount, i was devastated, so i didn’t post that weight. Now i’m currently at 191, 5.5 lbs lighter than i started, weird how your weight flutuates like that. then again, a couple days before that weigh in i ate sushi and pizza , TERRIBLE, i expected it i guess. Anywho, Week 7 i decided to mix it up a bit, The only carbs I ate this week were oldfashion oatmeal, brown rice, i ate a apple once or twice and cantelope once, but the rest came from veggies such as broccoli,and all those veggies that come in the stir-fry packs. Also I only ate those complex carbs in the morning and for lunch, then i workout at night so after I only ate protein and veggies. Thank goodness for the 0.5 lost. I"m going to keep this routine going for a few weeks and see what happens, my goal for the next weigh in is 189. Oh yea, also I added in HIIT this week again, 2 sessions.
