I really am doing better. Really. I swear. I look better than last year, and I generally feel better. I'm on a decent routine of exercise (but it needs more ab work), and I'm occasionally getting the lower-body/cardio work I need. I've changed my morning routine to include breakfast, daily, even if it's a can of high-protein Boost and a breakfast bar. Dinners are my downfall, still, when I slip into overeating mode. Do I really need a 27-ounce prime rib? No, but my stomach is that big. When I eat enormous amounts, it's not just because I want to eat, it's because nothing fills me up.
Except Slim Fast. I swear, it's some sort of stomach-shrinking miracle elixir to me. Wanna stop eating? Drink a Slim Fast. Scary how quickly I go from ravenous to no-no-i-can't-eat-another-bite.

And, a really great couple weeks, then I forgot a re-scheduled appointment with my trainer today. Of course. I am eating better and I'm seeing some improvement in my skin, and around my waistline. Bought a magazine for "how to lose your fat" or some such, and also "how to get great abs in 28 days".
Ha friggin ha. Not going to happen.

Two more weeks with spotty attendance. But, I'm going biking tonight, and hitting the gym tomorrow and Friday. If it wasnt going to rain on Saturday and Sunday, I'd consider putting in some time cutting firewood for my parents. That's a really good upper-body workout.

What the ??? No posts for a month? Sorry folks. I missed almost 2 weeks of gymtime due to my being out of town and my trainer being out of town... and I'm not happy. My diet is slipping and like I said, I'm starting to look like the old flabby me. Bleh.

Ok, so that week and last week totally went to hell. I'm starting fresh this morning. Really.
1 can Boost, butter pecan. (yuck.)
1 Honey Nut Cheerios bar.
20oz. Diet Coke. (i needed the caffeine.)
Why am I gonna be a nazi about everything? Because I looked in the mirror last night and I looked worse than when I started this all a year ago.
Yes. One year ago.

Ugh. Day two:
1 can Boost Plus, vanilla.
lots of water.
20oz Diet Coke.
1 Honey Nut Cheerios bar.
2 McChicken Sandwiches, plain. (I'm poor at the moment... so grilled takes a backseat)
2 five-piece Chicken Nuggets from Wendy's. No sauce.
More water.
I am so ashamed. But poor. I ate for approximately $7 today.

Ok ok... so I started biking. I'm up to 5 miles this week. Yes, my legs hurt a bit, but hey, it's worth it.
I also started watching what I eat. For this one week, I'll keep a log on here.
So far, today:
1 can (8oz) Boost Plus (360 cal, 14g fat (1.5g sat), 380mg pot, 45g carb, 14g prot)
1 bar of Honey Nut Cheerios (160 cal, 4g fat (1.5g sat) 120mg pot, 26g carb, 6g prot)
2 McChicken Sandwiches (the small ones*) (740 cal, 36g fat (6g sat), 72g carb, 31g prot, total)
One 16oz. Prime Rib (OUCH!) (1202 cal, 78g fat (31 g sat), 1535 mg pot, 116g prot)
Baked Potato, small, with sour cream (327 cal, 17.3g fat (8.9g sat), 751mg pot, 39g carb, 5.3g prot)
Sauteed Mushrooms (36 cal, 2g fat (.5g sat), 100 mg pot, 3.9g carb, 1.5g prot)
and lots and lots of water.
Holy crap, I almost forgot the dessert. For the record, I had to estimate on this one, too. (by doubling)
Banana Cream Pie (Max & Ermas) (780 cal, 39g fat (11g sat), 475mg pot, 95g carb, 13g prot)
* Note: McDonalds had not updated their website with current sandwich information so I improvised by multiplying everything times 2/3.
