Today was a crazy day because my daughter had to be at an audition pretty much all day. Didn’t weigh, had to eat out for lunch. Tried to keep it healthy.

Breakfast was 3 eggs

Lunch was at Quizno’s. I had a veggie sub on wheat and Lays Baked Chips.

I didn’t snack on some nonfat Greek yogurt because I just need a little extra something at the time.

Dinner is going to be a turkey party and eggs to up my protein since lunch was all carbs.

Weighed in at 221.1 this morning.

A solid 21.1 from where I was hanging at for so long. My trend line has me at 220. So, I have 20 lbs or so to lose to get back to where I was.

I have reset my goal on my tracking software to reflect a 20 lb loss. I will reset it when I get back to there. I’m thinking 25lb increments after that. What do you guys think?

1/2 a protein shake

3 eggs fried in 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil

For lunch I had:

1 lean turkey party

1 slice of Ezekiel Bread

1 cup steamed broccoli

Overall, this was a good day. The kids had cookies and ice cream around me and I was so ready to get back in the game that I was not tempted at all. I’m ready to win my battle of the bulge…

Getting Back In the Game

shrinkingninja — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:16:23 +0000

I’ll be the first to admit… I was burned out. The diet was routine. The workouts were long and intense and I was at another plateau. Stuck at 200 lbs for what seemed like forever. No matter what I did, I could not budge the scale.

Now, following the holidays… I find myself bloated. Twenty pounds heavier and bored with not eating right. I’m ready to get back on track. Getting back into the game.

I’m tired of my clothes feeling a little snug. I’m tired of tugging at my shirts. I’m tired of not being proud of myself when I look in the mirror. I miss working out, and although I am limited with what I can do due to a recent knee surgery… I miss it. I crave karate and p90x….

Monday, is the day. Monday is the day that I will get my life back on track. Monday is the day that I will be resolved to eating right. Monday is the day that I will at least ride a stationary bike and do ab ripper x.

Monday is game day! Monday is game on!

New Year Resolution

shrinkingninja — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 21:55:27 +0000

My New Year Resolution is to get back to posting on here like I used to. I started working at a new job in September and I just got off track with it. Unfortunately, I also gained some weight back. While my job was very physically demanding and I do believe I built some muscle, I know all to well that some of that is just more weight.

So, starting Jan 1… Maybe sooner… I will be posting weigh in and my meals. Maybe with pictures or a video. I’m not sure yet.

I am going to be slow going with working out since I just had knee surgery… But I hope to be back at it soon.
