Training and Food Journal: Sunday, January 4

Today was a great day as I continue to stay on track and maintain my commitment to the Tight Curves Transformation Challenge. I haven't officially weighed myself but I can tell that my weight and body shape have changed since December 10th. I was going to have Allan shoot some new photos on January 1st, but I think it would be better to do it on January 10th to show my first 30 day changes.

What a way to start the New Year and the second third of the Tight Curves Challenge...still feeling crappy AND with a migraine. Ugh! But there is good news, I took my migraine medicine and I feel better now, and although it is the end of the day I am sure that tomorrow will be OK. I had a great nutritious dinner at a friend's house and I that made me feel a lot better. I need to get back on track with my nutrition and fitness program!! It's not only getting me in better physical condition, it's my stress relief and I definitely need that right now...

No nutrition and training to report today. I didn't eat poorly, I just didn't follow my program at all. No cardio and no weight training.

Happy New Year! I did not do a very good job of starting off the year right. I had a great evening ringing in the New Year; however, not only did I not get enough sleep, I had too much celebratory beverage and paid for it dearly today. I have no training to report, although I have been diligent and not missed a day of cardio in weeks, it is still no excuse. Today's diet was a wash as well. Tomorrow is a new day and I will start fresh. No need worrying too much about my missteps today.
I am cranking up my training as well so look for some new photographs of me showing my progress in the next day or so. It's a new year and I am ready for a new me!!

2008 comes to a close...

I am determined to stay on my fitness and nutrition plan as much as possible today; however, I will be ringing in the New Year with friends and won't be denying myself a bit of bubbly and a beer or two. Not overindulging...so I won't be angry with myself tomorrow. I will avoid eating anything not on my program tonight at the party and can feel good about myself that I am keeping on track with my nutrition. My dinner will include plenty of protein to keep me full through the evening. No temptation!

Training:
AM: 30 minutes elliptical
PM: 30 minutes treadmill
Weight training: Chest and triceps

Food:
Pre-cardio: 1/4 apple and two Tight Curves Fat Burner capsules
Post-cardio: Tight Curves Protein in one cup skim milk
Lunch: 2 slices Very Thin Pepperidge Farm wheat bread, 5 slices turkey breast and lettuce and 1 oz. mozzarella cheese
Afternoon snack: 1/3 cup cottage cheese and 1/4 apple
Dinner: Chicken tenders and sweet potato
Lots of water

I ate some things not on my nutrition plan this evening at the New Year's Eve celebration, but overall not bad.
