Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

Well, I didn't do much tonight, I bought a floor mirror so I had to lug it around! The guy who brought it out from the back of the store didn't bring it out to the car where I was waiting! I waited a while and finally went in and my mirror was sitting there... lol oh well... so I lugged it everywhere and it was heavy. Never made it to Wally world for weights but maybe tomorrow after work(I think my dogs will need their big 50lb bag of purina by then too!lol). I still need to do some sit ups. I wasn't hungry at all tonight so I made 2 eggs and bacon and ate most of it. I am not hungry but man I feel like I am in need of a TON of water! I don't know why! Probably those nasty pork rinds, I don't like them but I wasn't prepared at work today so I ate what I had there that was legal!

Don't be jealous, I just started. In fact today was my first day, you should have seen how slow I was going, you would have laughed, hard. Do you guys have Academy's in Tenn. That is where I got my hand weights, they were pretty inexpensive, I even got the nice ones that are wrapped in felt. I got mine for about 2 bucks each.

I can't believe you are working 16 hours tomorrow, that is gonna be tough. I used to work 16 hour days in the emergency at a hospital. I worked 16 hours on Sat. and then another 16 on Sun. so I could go to school during the week. Get plenty of rest afterwards, I was always trashed on Monday and absolutly no good to the world.

Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

Ok, I had a pretty great eating day and I feel like sharing so I'm gonna post my menu for the day.

Breakfast:
3 scrambled eggs, w/1 ounce shredded cheese, and pace picante sauce

Lunch:
6 oz. of tilapia fish with hot sauce and lime juice

Snack: 2 HB eggs, with mayo and LC ketchup

Dinner:
Small steak with butter/sour cream sauce
1/4 cup cabbage
1/4 cup cauliflower
2 brussel sprouts (I only got two cause I didn't know if I would like them or not, pretty good)
1 cup mushrooms

I splerged a little and ate 4 small strawberries and 1 tiny piece of cateloupe for desert.

I did go over a bit on my calories so I will do a bit more excercise tonite, when I am not so full.

I hope everyone is having a nice Friday. Jon and I are staying in, he's upstairs putting Abi to bed and then we are gonna watch Hitch, I'm excited; he's never seen it before and I have, but it is so funny I can't wait to watch it again.

Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

I don't think we have any academys but walmart should be fairly cheap. I think I want to get some 2lb weights and then maybe some 5lb. We have a barbell set, but it is too much trouble to chnge out the weights to just 5lbs,I'd rather just have them handy! My fingers have been getting a workout on this computer though!!! LOL Have a good evening!

Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

That's great Rikki, congrats on the ab workout.

Even though I did some running this morning I decided to do my 3 mile tape tonite. I looked over my menu and was about 200 calories over my BMR. I felt kinda guilty about this so I went ahead and popped the tape in, thinkin I would only do a mile and a half with no weights. Well the mile and a half came and went, and I finished the tapes WITH weights. I am so glad because I really wanted to work out my arms some tonite, and I did that.

I burned a total of 600 calories today.

I am so anal, I have a written log (besides fitday) of all the calories burned through excercise and eating less, at the end of the week a tally them up and devide by 3500, supposedly this is how many pounds I have lost this week. Well I am taking a complete day off tomorrow, so I did my tally and I have a 4,800 calorie deficit for the week. If I am doing my math right that means that this week I lost 1.37 pounds. I guess we will see on the 6th. Geez, I just smelled myself and I stink...off to hit the shower and then try to sleep.

Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

haha! I hate when I get smelly but I guess it means I have been working out hard, soit can be a good thing?! If I take a shower immediately of course! LOL Well, I just wanted to pop my head in before work... I probably won't be able to eat a lot today, too busy. I need to make sure I find something for breakfast, so I am gonna go! Check in with yall later!!!

Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

You are our cheerleader Sarah. I feel great about this challenge and would love to continue after September.

I am taking a REAL rest day today, no weights, no walking, no rollerblading, no nothing. I want to give my body a day off before the next 6 WEC.

The gods were nice to me and I finally got 7 hours of sleep last night. I have been averaging about 3 a night, so I am very happy with 7. I feel refreshed and completly energized. I met up today with some people I haven't seen in a few months, I shared the amount of weight and inches I had lost and they started clapping for me. I felt so good, I almost cried.

I am going to lay around all day today and enjoy being at home with absolutly nothing to do. I hope you girls are having a nice day so far, and will come back and check up on ya later.

Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

I can do this! I wanted to take a day off from excercise, but all day I have been walking around my house with absolutly nothing to do. I am so restless! I can't handle it. I think I'm gonna do my 3 miles.

Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

LOL- you guys are great! WOW 7.3 mi! Holy cow! I just got off of my 16 hour day and it is about Midnight! Yikes, I have to be back at work at 7 in the morning! Not too much sleep for me tonight that is for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yoly- your rest day is supposed to be for rest!!! But I know the restless feeling! However, I don't get to have it very often! When I am tired I definitely take advantage of my nothing to do time!!!!

YOU girls are doing wonderful!!!!

I am glad to hear all the water cravings could be from ketosis! Yeay! I am dinking 2 lc beers tonight to try to get myself to sleep mode! After 16 hours of being wound up it is hard to go right to bed! and I definitely need some rest before 7!!!!

Catch up with you tomorrow!!!!

Re: Do the ICES CHALLENGE with Sarah and Yoly

Ya get some sleep sweety. Yup today is my 7.3 mile day AHHH I'll do it though I am stubborn as all ****. HE HE. I told yoly this but if you get some Melatonin it will help you get into sleep mode. What is happening is your stress hormone Cortisol supresses the melatoning and makes it so you are in the fight or flight mode you can't sleep you toss and turn your mind is racing this is what happens when you cortisol is too high and it also hampers your ability to lose weight. So the melatonin helps take it for a couple of days you'll notice a HUGE difference. Of course I'm not a doctor but, it worked really great form me better then any sleeping pill ever did and it's natural and you don't wake up feeling groggy either.

Any how I better go how's everything Yoly girl hopefully well.

I'll check back after my psyco run
