Challenge Day 9

Diet:
B - Non-fat Greek Yogurt
S - whole grain crackers
L - spinach salad with turkey and oil and vinegar
D - BBQ chicken, a few bites of potato salad, and green beans (okay, I also stole a few of Bennett's fries...)

No exercise again today. I slept in this morning (trying to recover from only 4 hrs of sleep the night before), and I have too much work to do tonight :( So many deadlines!!!

  2. * Sorry I had to delete my previous post because I made too many typos... but what I said was, you ate pretty darn good- celebrate that success! Some days you won't get to exercise but you'll eat well... other days you'll exercise but may splurge on some junk food... what matters is you are making some progress. Keep it up- eventually you will have more exercise + diet days! :)

  3. Maybe your expectations are too high. Rather than trying to get up so early to workout, find 30 minutes at some point in the day to do some light walking. When you start out small and at least reach those goals, you'll feel better and start making more time to exercise.

  4. Also, how can you possibly have enough energy with the amount of food you're taking in? Make sure you get enough fuel throughout the day!

  5. I agree with Alice Anne. your body will go into starvation mode if you don't take in enough fuel, you won't lose any weight and even worse your metabolism will be out of whack big time.

  6. Thanks for all the encouragement girls!!! I really appreciate it. I defintely need to eat more - I'm just having trouble finding the time to eat, much less plan what to eat!

  7. yes, meal planning in advance is hard. Especially when you're the only one in the house who does it (looking at my husband!). I tend to do mine when I'm in meetings or on the way home from church. But it is so worth it to have a plan!
