Monday: A Week of Planning

Hey NeverEver's!

So Sunday went away before I even knew it was gone. Which is why I didn't post yesterday...I was sucked into playing a game all day. Oops. 

But I made up for it today...Monday that is ^_^

Yup I totally agree with the dog. It would be so much better if there was no such thing as a Monday Morning. But, because the world doesn't want to listen to us morning haters (they really should) the morning started off slow. 

What was really important though, since I was preoccupied yesterday, was to go grocery shopping for this weeks meals. Planning is half the battle right? So it was time to get started. 

So here is the cooking plan ^_^

Meatless Monday: Tomato Soup w/ Cheese & Avocado Sandwich 

Tuesday: Chicken Nuggets w/ Veggies & Salad

Wednesday: Steak Asian Style 

Thursday: Orange & Herb Chicken Strips

Friday: Left Overs

Saturday: Most likely eating out because of the 5k

Sunday: Chicken & Waffles 

Yup so that is the plan and I am basically going to be playing around and not really following any certain recipe. 

The idea is to use fresh vegetables, fruit and meat with no preservatives and other un-healthy things. I never really did anything like this before and it is going to be really fun to share all of this with you! 

Who knows I might create something awesome? Probably not...I would be happy that it is edible and the family likes it. 

So today's meal was pretty awesome!

Hello Tomato soup with cheese & avocado sandwiches!  With the weather being cold and really windy outside it was soup kind of weather. Since I remembered that tomato soup and sandwich that I got by one of my assignments last year...I wanted to recreate it. 

It almost worked ^_^. The soup tasted so good but it didn't have the 'spiciness' that the restaurant soup did. But it did hit the spot and my Mother in Law share a sandwich with me. 

So the soup was just normal tomato soup and some extra water. Nothing fancy but man did it taste good! Now the sandwich was with sourdough bread, 4 slices of provolone cheese, 1 Kraft Low Fat American Cheese, and half avocado. No butter, or oil. Just toasted the bread using the George Foreman Gill and it was delicious! 

This is the weeks plan for food. Now on to exercise. 

Now I did make it to Day 7, which is 1/14, and I HAVE to finish this AB exercise. I know that it is almost the end of the month but I also know I said I would finish it! So I will be finishing this. Tomorrow is going to be Week 3 Day 2 Exercise! 

So, yup, I am going to be finishing this even after everyone else has been finished. However, this isn't the only thing I will be doing this week. Here is the plan!

Monday: Rest Day (not on purpose but it happened)

Tuesday: Week 3 - Day 2 AB Exercise / Jog 2.2 miles (not sure if at gym or outside)

Wednesday: Nike Training Club 

Thursday: Week 3 -Day 3 AB Exercise / Jog 3.2 miles (not sure if at gym or outside)

Friday: Rest Day - Maybe a walk to loosen up the muscles for the Color Run

Saturday: Color Run 5k

Sunday: Rest Day

And that is my plan. Can't wait to share with all of you my weekly success! Plus maybe some recipes?!?

Have a great Monday NeverEver's! See you all tomorrow

Manic Weigh In Monday: Day 28 + Spinning

Hey NeverEver's!

I have to say...there is a reason why I avoided spin. I watched them all spinning on the bikes that go no where. Listened to the instructor say 'Turn the knob a turn and half, We will be feeling it this song' and watched while the people come out drenched but still smiling!

While watching I always said 'That is to hard' or 'You aren't at that level yet, workout some more and then you can go to that class'. Well today I decided I was tired of listening to that inner voice telling me I couldn't do it yet.

So before I was able to talk myself out of it, and I am a good talker outer, I signed myself up for Spin at 24 Hour Fitness. And to MAKE sure I went I made sure everyone who follows me on twitter knew I was going...I wasn't going to back out now that there was 'internet pressure' on me!

Well the results were in someways exactly what I thought it would be...VERY FREAKING HARD!! But I made it through. Only stopping 2x, and that was to get more water and I only went during a 'Water Break'. That is where you sit in the 'saddle' and drink water while still spinning. I wasn't always able to stay out of the 'saddle' but I made sure if I sat my rump down I still moved my legs!

I am proud to say that when I walked out of the class I was one of those 'drenched but still smiling' people!

Anyways back to my Weigh In Day!

Have to say...I didn't lose a pound last week. Although I really am not surprised as I was dealing with some lawyer issues and was traveling all over So. Cal. i have to say that I am more proud of the fact that I didn't GAIN any weight! Now that is something to celebrate!!

Here is my stats for Monday;

Not a bad day

I will say I am disappointed that I didn't hit my Calories Burned Target. But there is always tomorrow, and tomorrow is Les Mils Body Pump!

So I wanted to add a new thing here for Manic Weigh In Monday's...that is my weekly schedule, or what I am planning on doing! Here it is

• Tuesday: Les Mils Body Pump, followed by 45 minutes on a cardio machine, not sure which one though
• Wednesday: There is a new class called H.I.I.T or (High Intensity Interval Training) which I want to try. If there is no post on Wednesday night it means I didn't survive the class ^_^. Also looking for a new job, yay fun!
• Thursday: I really want to do a Zumba day for Thursday, but it depends on the H.I.I.T class. I might make this day a walk in the park day!
• Friday: My Wonderful Day of Rest!
• Saturday: Also a sorta day of rest as the Hubby and I use this as our day together
• Sunday: Gym workout with a buddy, never know what I will be doing ^_~

Okay NeverEver's, so what do you think about the 'Weekly Schedule'? What are your plans for this weeks work out? 

Have a good night NeverEver's!
