Monday's work out

Housework: 1 load of laundry washed

Errands: Picked up something for a friend

Work out: 40 mins. of adductor, abductor, Hammer Strength ab machine, triceps, squats, quads, calves, back extensions, chest press, torso twists with medicine ball, curls, body bar bent over rows, shoulder shrugs ... came home after a quick errand and then did 1000 sweat points (whatever that means ... 4 songs) with Just Dance 3 on the Wii. That was fun!

Early lunch: garden salad with 1 tbsp Caesar dressing, 1/2 tuna sandwich with reduced fat mayo on whole wheat bread, water, 2 strawberries

Snack: TBD - likely the rest of the strawberries, maybe yogurt

Volunteering tonight, sent work emails, working a couple jobs today. Craft time!

I'm back!

I keep getting off the wagon so to speak but climbing back on. Great weekend, although extremely busy. House is a complete mess - I haven't been home.
Saturday went to the gym for a weight lifting workout and spent 10 mins. walking the track with my daughter. Had some Party Mix as a snack late at night. Not good but whatever. We all need a break sometimes.

Sunday's dinner was full of veggies: salad, carrots, sauteed peppers and mushrooms, mashed potatoes without salt and some roast beef (small piece). Dessert was a small slice of cake. Had 3 glasses of wine.

Monday - today! Omelet with 1 egg, egg whites, red pepper, mushrooms, tomato and 2 tiny cubes of spicy cheese on a toasted whole wheat English muffin, water to drink. Off to the gym soon for a work out.

What I don't understand is the people who never exercise and lose large amounts of weight fast or steadily and even though I make bad choices sometimes, I am always active, rarely sitting for extended periods and trying to think about everything I put in my mouth. Damn genetics! I hope I can achieve my goal.
