From Jan to March/April, here is what my workout schedule will be.
Monday - Cardio, Pump & Crunch Class Tuesday - Yoga Class & Circuit Wednesday - Weights or Turbo Jam Thursday - Low & Tone Class Friday - Weights or Turbo Jam Saturday - Weights or Turbo Jam Sunday - Boot Camp (maybe) and Skating Practice (3 hours)
Saturdays & Sundays will change depending if I have a skating competition or not.
I plan on eating at least 5 meals a day (every 3 hours).
My goals for 2008 are: -Complete a Triathlon -Either Run a 1/2 Marathon (and beat Rob's time) or run a Full Marathon in under 5 hours -Look good & Feel Great for Vanessa's Wedding (Aug 8/08)
Workout: Skating (2 hours). Now Normally I shouldn't count skating as a cardio workout b/c sometimes I feel like I don't get a good workout. But I must admit, I worked so hard in practice today so it should count for two cardio days (j/k)
Meals (not so good, but I'm working on it): 1. Large Tim Hortons steeped tea with two milks & one sweetener + breakfast sandwich with sausage 2. Steeped tea (again and same as #1) + granola bar 3. 6 inch grilled chicken breast sub from subway 4. the other half of my 6 inch grilled chicken breast sub from subway 5. Minudo & Rice (and I cheated. I had one nacho chip with cheese)
1) are u planning on beating my time from last year or my new time that i will set this year? muahahahahhahaah!!!
2) minudo? lol fob.
3) its great to see u setting goals and working at it. you are a fiend when it comes to physical activity! frig, you trained for your marathon in the snow! as much as you dont wanna count skating as a workout, you do so much physical activity that you prolly dont even need to workout seperate from that.
the only thing i would say is get that diet on track! its good that you are working on it, and for sure its hard, but it'll come soon enough. its just about making the right choices in whatever situation that you find yourself in. also planning ahead will help keep you on track. lastly, once you and my bro both get on track, i know you guys will do well. trust me, i know how the habits of one person in a relationship effects that of the other person. when both of you are on, all of this will come together. you'll see!!!
once you get your diet down, you prolly wont even need to do extra workouts with the physical load that you have. good stuff!
Workout: Circuit-however many minutes. Good Job everyone! We're going to listen to Britney next time. It motivates me faster :D
Meals: 1. 2 Eggs with a little bit of mozeralla cheese + 2 slices of white bread (toasted) with margarine 2. Minudo & rice 3. My leftover of meal 2 + yogart and cereal 4. Fried chicken (minus the skin) + rice (I was so hungry from work I couldn't wait to cook something healthy) 5. Beef Stir fry & noodles.
I must admit, I think i'm getting better. Tomorrow is the big test (b/c I work from 8am to 9:15 straight with no breaks except my hour drive from Mississauga to Georgetown)
Good job Tracy! Are you still in pain from circuit? Where have you been? you missed todays class. And by the way, I don't know about the Britney Spears music though.
Tina. No pain from Tuesday's circuit. I guess I didn't work as hard (considering I took one small break in the beginning to pee).
Anyhow, Wednesday I DID NOT work out (I'm so tired after skating). but I did eat healthier.
Meals: 1. Large Steeped Tea (2 milks + 1 sweetener) & 12 Grain bagel toasted with butter & cheddar cheese. 2. a slice of 12 grain bread with cheese & 1 boiled egg. 3. a boiled egg, yogart & trail mix 4. chicken casear wrap 5. the other 1/2 of the chicken casear wrap 6. Emil's fried rice with egg & sausage.
wow, i fit in 6 meals. okay meal 4&5 were only an hour apart, but still, that's pretty good. I'll work on getting more rest in the beginning of the week so I can workout on Wednesdays.
Meals: 1. a slice of 12 grain toast & two boiled eggs 2. michelina's beef stragonaff 3. mac & cheese with Tuna (for those who like this, don't use a lemon & pepper favoured tuna. it's GROSS and very lemony) 4. a granola bar 5. 1 hot dog -- i'm really upset about that meal b/c I was at the arena and they had NOTHING healthy. 6. chick pea & couscous salad
Ugh, this weekend is a write-off! I'm only posting what I did so that I can look back and read what my meals were during my skating competitions:
Saturday, Jan. 12/08 Workout: 1.5 hours Skating
Meals: 1. half a 12 grain bagel w/ butter & cheddar cheese 2. scrambled egg with cheese & rice + a chicken wing 3. three chicken fingers 4. filos pastry with spinach (two small slices but really really heavy) 5. one fried egg + one strip of bacon and rice
Sunday Jan. 13/08 1. 1/2 a 12 grain bagel toasted with butter & cheddar cheese + steeped tea w/ milk and sweetener 2. the other 1/2 of the 12 grain bagel w/ cheddar cheese 3. a flattened squished up, double cheeseburger from McDonalds --Emil stuffed this into his jeans pocket b/c you couldn't bring 'outside' food into the Hersey Centre 4. Mr. Noodles soup - chicken flavoured 5. Rice & ribs cheat: 1 maple dip donut
Skating Competitions Kill me when it comes to eating b/c it's so hard to find time to eat and find something healthy to eat. I get so stressed that sometimes I dont' even eat.
Workout: Cardio, Pump & Crunch (60 minutes) Initially I didn't plan on going to class, mainly b/c I was lazy. But I happened to look @ my before pictures that I took on Sun Jan 6 and let's just say, that was enough to motivate me to come to class.
Meals: 1. Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal + 2 boiled eggs 2. mac & cheese + tuna 3. Michelina's Fetticuni Alfredo + crackers + a handful of trail mix 4. steak + scalloped potatoes.
Though, I was craving another Maple Dip Donut, I'm proud to say I didn't eat it. They're so good though!
Workout & Meals for Jan. 8/08 Workout: Circuit for however many minutes
Meals: 1. extra large steeped tea (2sweeteners 2 milks) + sausage breakfast sandwich on a 12 grain bagel 2. Michelina's fettucini alfredo (mmm, so bad for me, but i'm okay w/ it b/c it was a small portion) 3. Mechlina's beef stroganoff 4. rice & chicken & hot dog- some filipino dish my cousin made up. i don't know the name of it 5. two eggs (scrambled) with cheese & rice.
Workout: none. I don't know if it's b/c I'm getting sick or the fact that after 5 hours of standing on my feet, I just can't work out anymore????
Meals: 1. a boiled egg sandwich with cheese (2 slices of 12 grain toast & 1 boiled egg) 2. lean cuisine Chicken something (it was only 220 calories but it didn't fill me up) + 1/2 a cinnamon bun 3. maple & brown sugar oatmeal + 1 boiled egg 4. Smoked salmon & egg sandwich 5. teriyaki beef & rice
Workout: none. I'm coming down with a cold. I don't know if my back is sore from Monday's class (still) or that i'm getting the flu. Either way, Guitar Hero was the most exercise I had on Thrusday (jan 17/08)
Meals: (from what I can remember. somehow when I'm sick, i don't remember much) 1. blueberry bagel w/ margarine & jam 2. wonton soup with rice (that I added) and roast beef (b/c the soup wasn't enough) 3. beef stir fry with pork chops & rice (I don't know how I combined the two, but by 6pm I was REALLY hungry and just stuffed my face with any food that was at home) 4. 1 small bowl of pancit (mmmm)
no workout/meals posted for Jan.18-Jan21 b/c I was sick So I couldn't workout during that time b/c i felt like crap. I went skating on Sunday, which wasn't a really good idea b/c the arena was SO COLD!
I plan on going to yoga tonight (tues), but not circuit. at least not yet.
Workout: Mind, Body & Core (60 mins) & Circuit (however many minutes we do it for) Good Circuit everyone! it was NKOTB that inspired me today :P
Meals: 1. Mamon (x2) mmmmmm 2. Lean Cuisine Chicken in peanut sauce (i think) 3. Chicken & Pasta (something Emil made on Sunday) 4. Roast beef + Rice 5. Scrambled eggs & rice I had another 1/2 a mamon in there, but i don't remember where. it was frickin good. mmmm
Workout: None, but coughing should count as a workout b/c my abs hurt. And my chest feels like it's run out of air (like I had just sprinted to first base).
Workout and Meals for Jan. 24/08 Workout: coughing - all day. I'd say 24 hours. not just a clear my throat cough, but those chest coughs that feel like your chest is going to rip open b/c an alien wants to come out. yea those ones.
Meals: before I begin, this was the worst day for meals. 1. timmy's breakfast sandwich w/ sausage + tea 2. mac & cheese + tuna 3. 1/2 a medium french fries from McDonalds 4. about 4-5 cups of popcorn from the movies (with no butter yea me :|) 5. minudo & rice + a tiny piece of lasanga oh i feel gross just thinking that I had popcorn for one meal. But they didn't have food at the movie theatre and i was craving popcorn anyways.
I'm missing posts b/c i've been sick and I forgot what my meals were. I've also decided to rest and not workout again until this cough goes away. so no posts until then.
So I've changed my workout plan. I'm trying this new thing so I can have my sexy arms sooner (for a wedding at the end of March).
Anyhow, officially it started Feb 18/08, though I didn't do the workout according to plan. Instead, my workout of the day was Snowboarding, which was a quick cardio and worked out my legs (ahaha that's my excuse).
Meals & Workout for Feb 18/08 Meal 1: breakfast sandwich w/ sausage (from timmies) & Small steeped tea Meal 2: Cheeseburger & French Fries with Orange Pop Meal 3: 1 maple dip donut Meal 4: Swiss Chalet - Single leg combo with french fries Meal 5: two slices of Banana Bread
Workout: Snowboarding
As of Today (Feb 19) I will avoid french fries and Donuts since it seems to be my weakness for 2008
Workout and Meals for Feb. 19/08 Workout: 60 mins. Mind, body & Core + weights (approx 25 min)
Meals: 1. Fruit explosion w/ steeped tea 2. Chicken Teriyaki w/ rice & seaweed salad 3. Blueberry & Cranberry Bran Muffin 4. the other half of my chicken teriyaki w/ rice and seaweed salad 5. (snack) banana loaf & a small piece of pork chop 6. steak with rice and sauteed mushrooms & onions (mmmmmm)
OMG i haven't posted in ages. I'm not sure if i'm going to post everything anymore. I find it helps me, but when I stop working out it almost discourages me. For the past week i've been doing BFL cardio. I would like to do the BFL weights but I don't have a spotter who'll watch me, which is why I wouldn't push myself.
But there will be a break from my routine this weekend b/c of Blue.
Foods to avoid starting March 16/08 at 9:09 pm 1. Donuts 2. French Fries
umm, those are basically all I can think of at this moment. I had too much of the above at blue mountain this weekend and have deicded I"m not allowed to eat any of the above two until the Cruise.
Meals: 1. 12 grain bagel toasted with butter & cheddar cheese 2. Carrot Muffin (it was supposed to be a cranberry, blueberry muffin but the Tim Hortons lady gave me a carrot muffin instead) 3. Fettucini alfredo & chicken 4. Chicken breast & rice 5. Roasted pig with rice & 1/4 of chicken breast
glad to see you back tracy! i know you can keep the diet clean! and in terms of the weights, just push yourself enough that you dont need a spotter. and also consider using machines instead of free weights untill you feel safe with the resistance training that you have!
Workout: Mind, Body & Core (yoga) 60mins. I had planned on doing BFL cardio too, but 1. someone took my treadmill & 2. I had to get home in time for Dancing with the Stars to see Kristi Yamaguci
Meals: 1. 2 slices of white toast w/ cheese & 2 boiled eggs 2. grapes 3. 1/2 a sub - grilled chicken something 4. the other 1/2 of my grilled chicken something sub 5. strawberry yogart, granola & almonds 6. (post workout) rice & chicken breast & shrimp -- very random but very good
Workout: none. (I was SO TIRED from yoga & Lisa's class the prior two nights my left shoulder gave out).
Meals: 1. 12 grain bagel w/ butter & chedder & 2 boiled eggs. 2. Muffin & yogart with granola & almonds 3. Noodles - similar to pancit, but not as good. i should have had a sandwich & a granola bar. 4. French fries - my cheat meal 5. pasta & chicken leftovers from Blue Mountain
ahaha Mary you caught on with my lechon the other day...I decided to try to show that I'm not such a big fob and write down roasted suckling pig instead.
Meals & Workout for Thursday March 20, 2008
Workout: None. Emil took me to watch Disney on Ice Princess Classics and he bought me tiara (that lights up). I didn't want to take off the tiara all night, and figured I couldnt' run with a tiara on :P
Meals: 1. Plain bagel toasted w/ butter & chedder & 2 boiled eggs. 2. Blueberry & Cranberry Muffin 3. Swiss Chalet - quarter chicken (dark) with rice. Unfortuantely, the portion was so small i even ate the bread, which I normally don't do. 4. one Orange 5. Chicken Fingers with French Fries and Popcorn. damn that snack food at Sky Dome.
I too have changed my workout routine. I'm going to try out this Hot Yoga classes this week, so I'm not attending any classes at the Valleys for the week of March 24. Also, my skating at Georgetown will come to an end on April 5 (YAY!), so I will be able to attend the On the Ball classes.
Here is my tentative schedule until May 3rd.
Sundays - Boot Camp Monday - Cardio Pump & Crunch Tuesday - Hot Yoga Wednesday - On the ball Classes Thursday - Hot Yoga Friday - Weights - BFL Saturday - rest (?)
QUESTION: do you guys think it'll be too much for me to do weights or add cardio on top of the classes I do? Or would I burn out if I worked out 7days in a row?
i remember reading the roasted pig thing but being confused lol. why not write pork? lol haha. i suck! you're a fob!
as for the routine, i think you should add some sort of weights on one of the yoga days. yoga is a good workout and it works flexibility but it isnt resistance training. add another bfl workout on one or both yoga days.
as for working out 7 days in a row? dont lol. you need to recover.
Tell me how your hot yoga classes are. If they are good, maybe I'll drop in once and pay the $20, I've been really wanting to try it. Plus, I totally need to work on my flexibility!
Workout: Hi/Low class - Step - Abs (30-30-15 minutes) *it was a 75 minute class with Wendy at 9:30am. I did not enjoy working out so early in the morning. I think if this class was in the evening I would have done a lot better.
Meals: 1. Special K with berries 2. Two eggs & cheese with Rice & Smoked Salmon 3. 1 cup of mac & cheese 4. fish, muscles & rice 5. pasta from blue mountain (snack). I'm pretty sure i ate something else during this time, but I can't remember 6. popcorn

Meals: 1. Breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese on a 12 grain bagel. 2. Roast pork & rice (yummie) 3. Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal 4. Minudo & rice & some Chinese noodles 5. Chicken Shwarma (1) and home fries.
Workout: Hot Yoga (60 Minutes). Today's class was MUCH better, however I'm probably going to change my workout routine that I posted on March 21 (ahahah so soon). I don't mind Lisa's yoga class and I don't think it's worth spending extra money on classes that i don't Love.
Meals: 1. 12 grain bagel w/ margarine & cheddar cheese 2. Blueberry Bran Muffin (I should really have some sort of protein in the morning). 3. Chicken Schwarma (mmm the leftovers were good, except the pita was a bit hard) 4. Extra lean ground beef w/ tofu & rice 5. Steak, rice & asparagus
Meals: 1. 12 grain bagel w/ margarine, cheddar cheese & 2 hard boiled eggs 2. 1/2 a protein shake, ff yogurt (mango flavour - not as good as I had hoped) & grapes 3. chicken shwarma 4. mac & cheese w/ tuna 5. Emil's home made chicken fingers (very good - Thanks Emil)
The pineapple one is really good! If you try the SOURCE exotic pack, there are some awesome flavours like coconut banana and melon trio. Theres a pretty decent mango one as well.
Meals: 1. 12 grain bagel w/ cheddar cheese & two boiled eggs 2. two yogurts, pineapple (which tastes SO GOOD!) and strawberry 3. salmon & rice 4. croissant w/ butter and jam (cheat meal - i was craving a donut, but i turned it down :D. i don't think the croissant was better for me, but it's the fact that I turned down the donut that i'm proud of) 5. soft shell crab, tempura & pad thai (cheat meal)
I drove Arlene home from her play today and we stopped by Wendys, b/c she was hungry. The french fries smelled so GOOD and I'm so proud of myself for turning it down! I didn't even have one! :D
good job with avoiding the donuts (i know you love them!!) and the fries! Thumbs up!
And thumbs up to pineapple i told you it was yummy. Have you tried to Kiwi one yet? And trust me if u like this, pick up a pack of source exotic, i think you'll like it.
Meals: (cheat day) 1. McDonald's Chicken nuggets (6) 2. Wendy's cheeseburger deluxe with french fries (i couldn't help it) 3. Wedding food-2 breads (b/c i was so drunk) Chicken & roast beef, potatoes, broccoli and some desserts
palabok is a different kind of noodle dish. It's usually orange, with boiled egg decorating the top of the noodles. mainly shrimp based (i think). and i'm not a big fan of polvoron.
Meals: 1. 2 slices of white bread, cheddar cheese, margarine & two boiled eggs (from now on, i will refer to this as a champs breakfast hahah) 2. yogurt - kiwi & pineapple 3. chicken shwarma 4. ELGB w/ vegetables & rice 5. 2 lean burgers (ok, i only had 1.5 lean burgers, but I will eventually finish the other .5)
Workout: Mind Body & core (yoga) - 60 mins BFL - lower body 11 mins on the upright bikes w/ 1 min standing/1 min sitting intervals
Meals: 1. 1/2 12 grain bagel, cheddar cheese & 2 HB eggs 2. 1 cup frozen vegetables + 1 cup elgb (w/ vegetables) 3. 1 cup frozen vegetables + 1 can tomato & onion tuna 4. 1/2 12 grain bagel, low fat havarti cheese (mmmm) + 2 eggs scrambled 5. steak + 3/4 cup rice (smushed to make it 1/2 a cup) & vegetables - asaparagus & mushrooms ***oh, Rob, i know orange juice isn't highly recommended, but i brought 1 box of 5 alive to work, which lasted me 3 meals, so i don't feel as bad for drinking it.
*sigh* I love orange juice (but not as much as I love rice)
Are you sure you're not eating any lychon salad as part of your new diet plan?? lol
AWESOME JOB TRACEY!!! Just remember to keep pushing hard and we'll all be beach ready! And just think.. if Jeffrey Buttle has strong quads and hams, so do we!
Tracy, you are doing so well, and have come so far with respect to consistency with your diet and working out. To get to the next pahse that I know you want, it is a matter of just cleaning up your diet some more. And you are doing that. I am very proud of you. Keep it up!
You know, I'm still unsure about the yoga. The only thing I DON'T like is waiting from 8:30 till 9:15 @ the gym sitting doing nothing. I mean, If Louroz isn't there next time who will we gossip with? LOL And yea, 3 hours at the gym?? :S
yea, 3 hours at the gym was LONG! and that 45 minute wait was a killer. Which is why I stopped doing circuits with everyone.
But I love yoga now, and I want to have a beach body and look great for the cruise, so i'll suck it up for the next 4 weeks...just to be sexy. so come...that way i'm not waiting 45 minutes alone. we could always start earlier too.
Those days posted above are the days where I will have 1 cheat meal. I'm a little worried about April 5, though b/c it's the Ice Show in Georgetown and whenever I have skating events, It's difficult to get food at my 'regular times'. I'll try though
plan ahead. are you gonna be skating or watching? we went to the basketball game and brought bars. i know they arent very appetizing but if you can get away with bars and shakes that day, do it up! let me konw ifyou need anything ahead of time!
there are two shows on saturday. one at 2pm, the other @ 8pm. Each show is 2.5 hours and I'm doing Rob, did you just write that last msg? b/c it says Emil, but it sounds like you.
anyhow, this saturday, i'm skating & doing work behind the curtain. If you don't mind, can you hook me up with some bars or the tetra pack protien shakes. I've been really good these past 4 days with my diet and I'd like to keep it going but skating is my weakness. I find I need more energy whenever I skate.
Workout: Upper body. I was doing BFL, but I lack the weights. so i somewhat modified it. then RJ came over on my last exercise and I didn't get to finish.
Meals: 1. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ cheddar cheese & 1 HB egg 2. quarter chicken w/ vegetables 3. quarter chicken w/ vegetables 4. 1 slice of white bread w/ peanut butter & jam (mmmm) 5. ELGB w/ vegetables & 3/4 cup (smushed into 1/2 a cup) of rice.
So I went to Moxie's for lunch w/ my co-workers and I orderd a 1/2 chicken. I was so proud that I declined the option of garlic mashed potatoes (mmmm) or a loaded baked potato (mmmmm drools a little). I got extra vegetables instead. and I didn't have dessert. :)
but i know what my cheat meal will be...i don't know when i'll eat the cheat meal, but i know what i want :D
added note: For meal #4, I had a peanut butter & jam sandwich. Which in only ate on one piece of bread. I added the jam b/c I felt I needed the extra sugar boost to get me through my next meal (which it did). It was a choice between peanut butter & jam, or peanut butter & honey sandwich (mmmmm). isn't it okay if it's on one slice of bread (i only had white bread at home) anyhow, that's why i had peanutbutter & jam. i hope that doesn't count as a cheat meal b/c that means Emil has to pay Rob 10 bucks :p
ahahaha lol. ya that previous post was mine, sorry.
i will not count it as a cheat b/c you did it for a specific purpose. but if you need more energy use brown bread or brown rice instead of white. white will digest quickly and give you quick energy, but to sustain till your next meal, go with brown.
amazing job on the diet tho tracy! results will come soon enough!
Workout: none, but if skating for 10 minutes counts and wearing my skates for 5 hours counts, then that's my workout :P
Meals: 1. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ cheddar cheese & scrambled eggs (2) 2. elgb w/ vegetables 3. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ cheddar cheese & protein shake 4. elgb w/ vegetables & orange juice (i drank the oj about 2 hours after eating, and only drank it b/c i thought I was going to pass out from skating/working). 5. Emil's ground pork & rice 6. 1/2 a phillycheese steak sandwich
Workout: none - well, I skated today, for about 8 hours so I was on my feet. Also, I actually did some skating (like spinning & jumping) which I haven't done for years, so I'm sure that must count for something.
Meals: 1. rice & 2 eggs - Over easy 2. pasta w/ meat sauce, caesar salad, ham & cheese (finger foods) & pineapples --this was the meal the club fed us b/n the two ice shows today. 3. chicken breast w/ couscous & chickpeas
Okay, so this morning, my cousin made eggs & bacon, which he always makes for breakfast on the weekends. I was craving bacon so badly, but managed to turn it down. I also bought protein bars & energy bars @ shoppers today, but didn't have a chance to eat it. I had kept them in my skating bag and there was just no time. Also, I was kind of scared to try it, incase i barfed or something...i'll the bars for another day.
I was able to do pushups from my toes today in Lisa's workout class. I did 4 in a row, which was better than my 3 that I did yesterday. I'm certain I could have pushed myself to do more, but I was trying to do the pushup in time to the music and the 'man's' pushups were slowing me down.
So I thought I'd be happy eating 6 meals, but I woke up this morning with a stomach ache. I know it's from eating meal 6 at 11pm and then sleeping at midnight. *note to self: don't eat so late
Hmm.. I don't think you can delete comments.. Well I can't lol
As for eating late at night, I'm totally with you on that one. I hate doing it, cause I have this weird mentality that everything I eat before bed will make me gain weight. Usually I opt for a lighter meal before bed like a protein shake, a little bit of yogurt. If its post workout, I like to throw some carbs in there, like shake and 1/2 a bagel.
You still have meatloaf? is it your own or from Sunday night? Cause mine was finished after ONE NIGHT!
:P i made meatloaf last night w/ LGB b/c it was cheaper and there was more meat to buy. It doesn't taste as good as Rob's on the weekend. It's b/c I didn't use bbq sauce and used oyster sauce instead (mmm oyster sauce).
next time i'm going to use bbq sauce. i wonder if meatloaf will be good w/ ground turkey. I saw chef Michael Smith do it and it looked pretty good. but i know I don't like ground turkey.
Wow, I've worked out 5 days in a row. I'm kind of nervous to take a rest day b/c I'm in such a groove. I have a tendency to turn a rest day into a rest week.
Meals: 1. Special K w/ berries & Skim milk 2. 1 egg (over-easy) + 3 slices of chicken bacon (not what i expected) + 1/2 12 grain bagel toasted w/ margarine 3. meatloaf w/ brown rice 4. Party food @ Emil's house -- cheat meal b/c I had 4 pieces of fried chicken wings (mmmmm)
My mom had a little party at her work today during my 3rd meal. I managed to avoid eating the caramel popcorn, cheetos & hot dogs so that I can save my cheat meal at Emil's house.
don't worry bout turning a rest day into a rest week. im sure you can keep that up. but... try to keep on the diet that we talked about the other week. low carb diets suck, but you said that you wanted the best until the cruise. lets go tracy, you're doing a great job!
am I not keeping it the way we talked about? sometimes I can't tell anymore. I just find I'm really craving a lot of food now (like apple pie and ice cream).
Workout and Meals for Monday, April 14, 2008
Workout: Cardio, Pump & Crunch (60mins)
Meals: 1. 1/2 12 grain bagel toasted w/ cheddar cheese & 2 eggs (scrambled) 2. meatloaf w/ vegetables 3. meatloaf w/ vegetables 4. lean burger w/ havarti cheese & 1/2 12 grain bagel --this was weird to eat b/c i didn't eat it like a hamburger :S 5. steak w/ brown rice & vegetables (asparagus + mushrooms + onions & Garlic)
In class today, I managed to do more than 5 'guys' pushups in a row. and i could do pushups w/ the gliders on my feet too.
That is awesome Tracy! You have made so much progress, and I can see a difference. I am very proud of you. I am not sure about how to clean the diet up more, maybe Rob can clarify for you. I am just very happy with your effort thus far. Only 3 1/2 weeks to go! woohoo!
in general you are keeping on it, but there are a few days here and there where you are incorporating carbs into the meals that aren't breakfast and pre and post workout. you also have a couple of meals (cheese and crackers and grapes or cereal alone), where you lack some protein.
you are doing a kick ass job and like i have told you in person, i can see some wicked results already. just tighten it up for this last run and you will as close to your goal as possible! great stuff! i am quite proud of you as well!!!
Meals: 1. maple & brown sugar oatmeal w/ two HB eggs 2. steak w/ asparagus & mushrooms 3. 2 HB eggs + cheddar cheese & FF yogurt 4. 1 slice of 12 grain bread + light havarti cheese & lean burger *snack* cheese w/ crackers 5. swiss chalet - 1/4 chicken (dark) w/ corn & two bites of my bread.
So my cousin made Mongo (Mung bean) for dinner, with spinach, which happens to be one of my favourite filipino dishes. I was actually debating if I should have some of it w/ rice (mmmmm - drools like homer simpson), but I didn't. Well, i had a small spoon of it to satisfy my craving.
I've also noticed this past week I'm just SO HUNGRY. it's like the meals aren't filling me up. They used to keep me going for at least 3 hours, but now after two hours i'm STARVING.
Tracy, you are doing great. I am not sure about what to do. It would seem to me that because you are so active, you may need to eat a little bit more at each meal, or eat more frequently. Alternatively, you could keep something like roasted unsalted peanuts at your desk for you to snack on to carry you through. I have a big tub of that shit at my desk. Mind you, all of this is from someone who is uneducated in nutrition. I will defer to our guru for more correct info.
Workout: weights - upper body I did 60 mins of skating today, but honestly, I shouldn't count skating as a workout. I wouldn't count it as cardio b/c 1. I didn't sweat as much as I usually do (and I sweat a lot). 2. I didn't really push myself like it was cardio b/c the exercises we were doing didn't require it.
Meals: 1. 1 slice of 12 grain bread + 2 HB eggs + light havarti cheese 2. swiss chalet 1/4 chicken + corn 3. baked chicken breast + vegetables + ff yogurt 4. steak + rice 5. 1/2 protein bar + steak & 1/4 cup brown rice
I must say, I'm getting tired of HB eggs. and thanks Mary for the ideas. I should buy some cheese strings and leave it at work, but I'm always afraid people will eat my food. my work sucks!
Hey.. how was the run!! The weather is sooo nice, this whole weekend and no rain! Totally makes me want to run!
You missed a good practice yesterday. I got hit with a line drive in the outfield on my lower shin ankle area. I can't even walk without pain. OR RUN. :(
ya! i finally had my apple pie w/ ice cream. it was filling. in the end, i realized I only needed one taste of the hot apple pie w/ ice cream to satisfy my craving. mmmm Anyhow, I came home and there was adobo to eat. and chicken wings. so instead, i ate my other comfort food rice & eggs. i miss white rice and eggs.
Meals: 1. 1 fried egg + 2 slices of chicken bacon & rice 2. energy bar (it had 11g of protein)+ cheese & crackers 3.fried rice + baked chicken, curry chicken & some indian bread you eat the chicken w/
I had try-outs for skating today, but I don't consider skating as a 'workout'. Also had baseball practice (which I must admit, my pitches were very good today. I hope I don't psych myself out during a game) but not much cardio there. Meals weren't good for me because I did quite a bit of running around. I managed to eat that energy bar b/n skating & baseball. I then had to attend my niece's first communion party at a chinese/indian buffet. I managed to not eat the fried foods (like chicken balls & fried shrimp). And the best part was watching Arlene eat two slices of white cake :P
Ahahaha, another note. Arlene complimented me at the party. I flexed my muscles to show my biceps and before she could comment on me, she had to flex her muscles first to see if hers were still bigger....ahahah I LOVE IT! too funny.
Workout: Cardio, Pump & Crunch (60mins) Mary-good job today! we'll do those rolling sit up things from the floor now!
Meals: 1. 12 grain toast w/ 2 HB eggs & light havarti cheese -- i didn't put salt on my HB eggs like I usually do....but i had to substitute w/ Ketchup, which wasn't bad 2. lean burger w/ vegetables 3. lean burger w/ vegetables 4. tomato & onion tuna w/ havarti cheese sandwich --this was so gross i could only eat 3/4 of my sandwich. 5. baked chicken w/ asparagus, onions & mushrooms -- Emil's cooking. (Sorry Mary, this was a last minute meal)
So I got to work dreading breakfast b/c I'm so tired of my hb eggs and toast. I need some other sort of meat (and not Spam, Emil, though spam is quite tasty). Meanwhile, right beside the printer at work, there was a party size box of timbits. Every now and then I'd take a peak and see how many timbits were left. Usually i'm okay when the timbits are all chocolate, but this box was all not-chocolate timbits. I was good though, thought about my beach body the whole time!
i forgot to write in meal#5. Hummus + whatever I ate
Workout & Meals for Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Workout: none :( I spent 2+ hours at National Sports with Emil and Luis looking @ bats. by the time we got out, I was hungry and it was after 8 and i was lazy
Workout: batting practice. Normally I don't count practice as a workout, but changing my swing and swinging the bat many times is quite tiring. who am I kidding. that's just an excuse. no workout.
on top of the jam, I also had 3 glasses of Orange Juice. I'd like to think it was really 2 glasses of orange juice, but it was really 3. :( I *heart* orange juice
Meals: 1. half 12 grain bagel w/ peanutbutter & honey (mmm) 2. 6 inch grilled chicken sub 3. 1/4 chicken dark w/ french fries (cheat) 4. ff yogurt w/ sky flakes & orange 5. 2 eggs-scrambled w/ cheese & white rice
After I ate at swiss chalet, I was craving an apple pie w/ ice cream again. Emil suggested eating fruit, so i ate an orange (but it didn't satisfy my craving).
Well, I'm back to the routine now I have new goals for the summer. My workout routine is changing too now that I'll be training for the Scotiabank Marathon. Also, there's Vanessa's Wedding on August 8, 2008...so I need 'sexy arms' and a hot body for that day :P
Ok, so I'm trying. after 2 weeks of unhealthy eating, you think I'd be tired of eating unhealthy. However, I just did my grocery shopping and havent' updated my 'healthy' food supply. Plus I was craving a donut on the way home from Emil's house, but convinced myself not to buy one. When I arrived at home, though, I found a box of timbits and ate 4 of them. ahahaha
ahahahahhah. lol ya u'd think that we'd wanna get back to eating healthy but there is something about junk food at home that is just so hard to turn down lol. welcome back to training!
After a month of indulging in delicious unhealthy deep fried food, I have to get back into shape if I want to look good on Vanessa's Wedding (Aug 8/08)
So I planned on doing a class + a 5K run today, but went out for Jay's birthday dinner instead. Tuckers was good...especially the apple crisp & ice cream. mmmm
hey tracy, glad to see that you are still posting. i think after the "after pics" it took awhile for ppl to get back in the groove, hence, the lack of posts overall. but hopefully we can ALL get back into it. i know im struggling to.
I didn't run Saturday. Or Sunday. and the reason why I didn't run was 1. it was too hot & 2. I didn't want to.
So I've decided I'm not running my Marathon anymore. I don't have the drive or desire to run it. The difference w/ me running the marathon last year vs. this year was that last year, I loved to run. But lately, the idea of running makes me lazy. It also stresses me out to know that I'm not following my 'marathon training schedule' as planned...which worries me that I won't be able to complete my marathon. So I'll run my Terry Fox Run (10K), the CIBC Run for the Cure (5K) and maybe a 1/2 Marathon (not sure which one yet). I still plan on doing another Marathon, but not this year.
Meals: 1. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ light cream cheese + smoked salmon 2. meatloaf + frozen vegetables 3. maple dip donut 4. rice w/ ground beef + 1 slice of 12 grain bread w/ peanut butter & jam 5. rice w/ ground beef + 3/4 hot dog 6. popsicle
i tried to eat healthy, but I notice i really enjoy my maple dip donuts at work. Today is my last day to eat unhealthy. I have to look good for Vanessa's wedding on August 8...
Meals: Not so good. I honestly don't remember what I ate, but I know I cheated...oh, my last meal was an oatmeal raisin cookie.
Workout & Meals for Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Workout: TMC (60 mins)
Meals: 1. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ peanut butter & 'less sugar' jam 2. meatloaf w/ frozen vegetables 3. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ salmon salad from a can -- it was so gross, but it was all I had 4. 1 peanut butter cookie (pre workout meal) 5. brown rice w/ ground beef & vegetables
A peanut butter cookie for pre workout meal is PATHETIC...i know. but that's all I had time for. I almost passed out when I was in class today. I felt so dizzy. My eating habits are horrible right now. I try my best to eat every three hours. but sometimes I'm not hungry after the 3 hours...then there are other times that I'm so hungry after 1 hour.
I was so tempted to eat the pizza I made for my cousins who were over @ my house. But I'm glad I didn't I was alsot tempted to drink orange juice...not even a sip.
Workout: none (tried on my bridesmaids dress for Vanessa's wedding) **note to self need to work out stomach(shrink) and arms**
Meals: 1. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ peanut butter. 2. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ cream cheese 3. 6 inch turkey sub 4. 6 inch turkey sub (other half) 5. pho
So I took time yesterday to make myself chicken breast for my lunch today. And of course, I left my lunch at the bottom of the stairs in my house, instead of taking it with me to work. *sigh* And, I managed to resist eating a maple dip donut that my co-worker brought for me. :D
I guess this is a "there and back again" type blog. I once was fat, then I was skinn(ier), and now once again I am fat.
I've made the decision (once again) that I need to make some changes, but this time, make them for good. I am married now. I have a house, a wife who loves me, a great family, an amazing support network of friends, and a dream of starting my own family. I have reasons... more then ever before, to take my life back...

Friday - Weights or Turbo Jam

-Complete a Triathlon
-Either Run a 1/2 Marathon (and beat Rob's time) or run a Full Marathon in under 5 hours
-Look good & Feel Great for Vanessa's Wedding (Aug 8/08)
Official start date, Sunday January 6, 2008.
Okay Today was my official start date, however I didn't do as well as I had hoped.
Workout: Skating 3-6
Meals:
1. Pancakes and two slices of bacon (yum).
2. Fruit Explosion Muffin
3. Beef stew & rice
4. 1/2 cup of fried rice
It's ok. Keep doing it until it becomes habit a again.
Workout: Skating (2 hours). Now Normally I shouldn't count skating as a cardio workout b/c sometimes I feel like I don't get a good workout. But I must admit, I worked so hard in practice today so it should count for two cardio days (j/k)
Meals (not so good, but I'm working on it):
1. Large Tim Hortons steeped tea with two milks & one sweetener + breakfast sandwich with sausage
2. Steeped tea (again and same as #1) + granola bar
3. 6 inch grilled chicken breast sub from subway
4. the other half of my 6 inch grilled chicken breast sub from subway
5. Minudo & Rice (and I cheated. I had one nacho chip with cheese)
hahahhaahah!
1) are u planning on beating my time from last year or my new time that i will set this year? muahahahahhahaah!!!
2) minudo? lol fob.
3) its great to see u setting goals and working at it. you are a fiend when it comes to physical activity! frig, you trained for your marathon in the snow! as much as you dont wanna count skating as a workout, you do so much physical activity that you prolly dont even need to workout seperate from that.
the only thing i would say is get that diet on track! its good that you are working on it, and for sure its hard, but it'll come soon enough. its just about making the right choices in whatever situation that you find yourself in. also planning ahead will help keep you on track. lastly, once you and my bro both get on track, i know you guys will do well. trust me, i know how the habits of one person in a relationship effects that of the other person. when both of you are on, all of this will come together. you'll see!!!
once you get your diet down, you prolly wont even need to do extra workouts with the physical load that you have. good stuff!
Workout: Circuit-however many minutes. Good Job everyone! We're going to listen to Britney next time. It motivates me faster :D
Meals:
1. 2 Eggs with a little bit of mozeralla cheese + 2 slices of white bread (toasted) with margarine
2. Minudo & rice
3. My leftover of meal 2 + yogart and cereal
4. Fried chicken (minus the skin) + rice (I was so hungry from work I couldn't wait to cook something healthy)
5. Beef Stir fry & noodles.
I must admit, I think i'm getting better. Tomorrow is the big test (b/c I work from 8am to 9:15 straight with no breaks except my hour drive from Mississauga to Georgetown)
good luck tomorrow! im sure you'll do great! and awesome job with circuits today!
Good job Tracy! Are you still in pain from circuit? Where have you been? you missed todays class. And by the way, I don't know about the Britney Spears music though.
Tina. No pain from Tuesday's circuit. I guess I didn't work as hard (considering I took one small break in the beginning to pee).
Anyhow, Wednesday I DID NOT work out (I'm so tired after skating).
but I did eat healthier.

4. chicken casear wrap
5. the other 1/2 of the chicken casear wrap
6. Emil's fried rice with egg & sausage.
wow, i fit in 6 meals. okay meal 4&5 were only an hour apart, but still, that's pretty good. I'll work on getting more rest in the beginning of the week so I can workout on Wednesdays.
good stuff with the diet! and no more starting the circuit at 25 seconds in! lol

I'm missing posts b/c i've been sick and I forgot what my meals were.
I've also decided to rest and not workout again until this cough goes away. so no posts until then.
ok good to hear that you're better now!
So I've changed my workout plan. I'm trying this new thing so I can have my sexy arms sooner (for a wedding at the end of March).

OMG i haven't posted in ages.
I'm not sure if i'm going to post everything anymore. I find it helps me, but when I stop working out it almost discourages me.
For the past week i've been doing BFL cardio. I would like to do the BFL weights but I don't have a spotter who'll watch me, which is why I wouldn't push myself.
But there will be a break from my routine this weekend b/c of Blue.
Foods to avoid starting March 16/08 at 9:09 pm

Meals & Workout for Thursday March 20, 2008
Workout: None.
Emil took me to watch Disney on Ice Princess Classics and he bought me tiara (that lights up). I didn't want to take off the tiara all night, and figured I couldnt' run with a tiara on :P
Meals:
1. Plain bagel toasted w/ butter & chedder & 2 boiled eggs.

4. one Orange
5. Chicken Fingers with French Fries and Popcorn. damn that snack food at Sky Dome.
I too have changed my workout routine.
I'm going to try out this Hot Yoga classes this week, so I'm not attending any classes at the Valleys for the week of March 24.
Also, my skating at Georgetown will come to an end on April 5 (YAY!), so I will be able to attend the On the Ball classes.
Here is my tentative schedule until May 3rd.
Sundays - Boot Camp
Monday - Cardio Pump & Crunch
Tuesday - Hot Yoga
Wednesday - On the ball Classes
Thursday - Hot Yoga
Friday - Weights - BFL
Saturday - rest (?)
QUESTION: do you guys think it'll be too much for me to do weights or add cardio on top of the classes I do?
Or would I burn out if I worked out 7days in a row?
i remember reading the roasted pig thing but being confused lol. why not write pork? lol haha. i suck! you're a fob!
as for the routine, i think you should add some sort of weights on one of the yoga days. yoga is a good workout and it works flexibility but it isnt resistance training. add another bfl workout on one or both yoga days.
as for working out 7 days in a row? dont lol. you need to recover.
Tell me how your hot yoga classes are. If they are good, maybe I'll drop in once and pay the $20, I've been really wanting to try it. Plus, I totally need to work on my flexibility!
I heard hot yoga is sick!
Really loosens up the muscles and gives you EXTRA flexability.
Once I get my flexibility, i too am going to try out Hot Yoga!
YOGA FIRE!

*sigh* I love orange juice (but not as much as I love rice)
Are you sure you're not eating any lychon salad as part of your new diet plan?? lol
AWESOME JOB TRACEY!!! Just remember to keep pushing hard and we'll all be beach ready! And just think.. if Jeffrey Buttle has strong quads and hams, so do we!
GAY Mary...
Tracy, you are doing so well, and have come so far with respect to consistency with your diet and working out. To get to the next pahse that I know you want, it is a matter of just cleaning up your diet some more. And you are doing that. I am very proud of you. Keep it up!
You know, I'm still unsure about the yoga. The only thing I DON'T like is waiting from 8:30 till 9:15 @ the gym sitting doing nothing. I mean, If Louroz isn't there next time who will we gossip with? LOL And yea, 3 hours at the gym?? :S
yea, 3 hours at the gym was LONG! and that 45 minute wait was a killer. Which is why I stopped doing circuits with everyone.
But I love yoga now, and I want to have a beach body and look great for the cruise, so i'll suck it up for the next 4 weeks...just to be sexy. so come...that way i'm not waiting 45 minutes alone. we could always start earlier too.

Cheat meal days: April 5, april 12 & April 19.
I like how you listed your planned cheatmeals for the month! And good low carb diet?? How is it going for ya? Are you missing the rice yet? lol
good job tracy!
good job with the diet so far tracy! and those are CHEAT MEALS not cheat days right?
Those days posted above are the days where I will have 1 cheat meal. I'm a little worried about April 5, though b/c it's the Ice Show in Georgetown and whenever I have skating events, It's difficult to get food at my 'regular times'. I'll try though
plan ahead. are you gonna be skating or watching? we went to the basketball game and brought bars. i know they arent very appetizing but if you can get away with bars and shakes that day, do it up! let me konw ifyou need anything ahead of time!
there are two shows on saturday. one at 2pm, the other @ 8pm. Each show is 2.5 hours and I'm doing Rob, did you just write that last msg? b/c it says Emil, but it sounds like you.
anyhow, this saturday, i'm skating & doing work behind the curtain. If you don't mind, can you hook me up with some bars or the tetra pack protien shakes. I've been really good these past 4 days with my diet and I'd like to keep it going but skating is my weakness. I find I need more energy whenever I skate.
Meals & Workout on Thursday, April 3, 2008
Workout: Upper body. I was doing BFL, but I lack the weights. so i somewhat modified it. then RJ came over on my last exercise and I didn't get to finish.
Meals:
1. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ cheddar cheese & 1 HB egg
2. quarter chicken w/ vegetables
3. quarter chicken w/ vegetables
4. 1 slice of white bread w/ peanut butter & jam (mmmm)
5. ELGB w/ vegetables & 3/4 cup (smushed into 1/2 a cup) of rice.
So I went to Moxie's for lunch w/ my co-workers and I orderd a 1/2 chicken. I was so proud that I declined the option of garlic mashed potatoes (mmmm) or a loaded baked potato (mmmmm drools a little). I got extra vegetables instead. and I didn't have dessert. :)
but i know what my cheat meal will be...i don't know when i'll eat the cheat meal, but i know what i want :D
added note:
For meal #4, I had a peanut butter & jam sandwich. Which in only ate on one piece of bread. I added the jam b/c I felt I needed the extra sugar boost to get me through my next meal (which it did).
It was a choice between peanut butter & jam, or peanut butter & honey sandwich (mmmmm).
isn't it okay if it's on one slice of bread (i only had white bread at home)
anyhow, that's why i had peanutbutter & jam. i hope that doesn't count as a cheat meal b/c that means Emil has to pay Rob 10 bucks :p
ahahaha lol. ya that previous post was mine, sorry.
i will not count it as a cheat b/c you did it for a specific purpose. but if you need more energy use brown bread or brown rice instead of white. white will digest quickly and give you quick energy, but to sustain till your next meal, go with brown.
amazing job on the diet tho tracy! results will come soon enough!
and ya let me know how many bars/shakes you want.

Workout & Meals for Saturday, April 5, 2008

Okay, so this morning, my cousin made eggs & bacon, which he always makes for breakfast on the weekends. I was craving bacon so badly, but managed to turn it down.
I also bought protein bars & energy bars @ shoppers today, but didn't have a chance to eat it. I had kept them in my skating bag and there was just no time. Also, I was kind of scared to try it, incase i barfed or something...i'll the bars for another day.

I was able to do pushups from my toes today in Lisa's workout class. I did 4 in a row, which was better than my 3 that I did yesterday. I'm certain I could have pushed myself to do more, but I was trying to do the pushup in time to the music and the 'man's' pushups were slowing me down.
good job with the pushups!!! It took me awhile too, but it feels so good when you can do them non-girly.
how was class!! were you dripping on the floor like last week? lol
no dripping on the floor, but i was sweating so much that it was burning my eyes...ahahaha

So I thought I'd be happy eating 6 meals, but I woke up this morning with a stomach ache. I know it's from eating meal 6 at 11pm and then sleeping at midnight. *note to self: don't eat so late
Hmm.. I don't think you can delete comments.. Well I can't lol
As for eating late at night, I'm totally with you on that one. I hate doing it, cause I have this weird mentality that everything I eat before bed will make me gain weight. Usually I opt for a lighter meal before bed like a protein shake, a little bit of yogurt. If its post workout, I like to throw some carbs in there, like shake and 1/2 a bagel.
You still have meatloaf? is it your own or from Sunday night? Cause mine was finished after ONE NIGHT!
:P i made meatloaf last night w/ LGB b/c it was cheaper and there was more meat to buy.
It doesn't taste as good as Rob's on the weekend. It's b/c I didn't use bbq sauce and used oyster sauce instead (mmm oyster sauce).
next time i'm going to use bbq sauce. i wonder if meatloaf will be good w/ ground turkey. I saw chef Michael Smith do it and it looked pretty good. but i know I don't like ground turkey.

Workout & Meals for Sunday, April 13, 2008

don't worry bout turning a rest day into a rest week. im sure you can keep that up. but... try to keep on the diet that we talked about the other week. low carb diets suck, but you said that you wanted the best until the cruise. lets go tracy, you're doing a great job!
am I not keeping it the way we talked about? sometimes I can't tell anymore. I just find I'm really craving a lot of food now (like apple pie and ice cream).
Workout and Meals for Monday, April 14, 2008

In class today, I managed to do more than 5 'guys' pushups in a row. and i could do pushups w/ the gliders on my feet too.
That is awesome Tracy! You have made so much progress, and I can see a difference. I am very proud of you. I am not sure about how to clean the diet up more, maybe Rob can clarify for you. I am just very happy with your effort thus far. Only 3 1/2 weeks to go! woohoo!
in general you are keeping on it, but there are a few days here and there where you are incorporating carbs into the meals that aren't breakfast and pre and post workout. you also have a couple of meals (cheese and crackers and grapes or cereal alone), where you lack some protein.
you are doing a kick ass job and like i have told you in person, i can see some wicked results already. just tighten it up for this last run and you will as close to your goal as possible! great stuff! i am quite proud of you as well!!!
Workout and Meals for Tuesday, April 15, 2008

4. 1 slice of 12 grain bread + light havarti cheese & lean burger
*snack* cheese w/ crackers
5. swiss chalet - 1/4 chicken (dark) w/ corn & two bites of my bread.
So my cousin made Mongo (Mung bean) for dinner, with spinach, which happens to be one of my favourite filipino dishes. I was actually debating if I should have some of it w/ rice (mmmmm - drools like homer simpson), but I didn't. Well, i had a small spoon of it to satisfy my craving.
I've also noticed this past week I'm just SO HUNGRY. it's like the meals aren't filling me up. They used to keep me going for at least 3 hours, but now after two hours i'm STARVING.
Tracy, you are doing great. I am not sure about what to do. It would seem to me that because you are so active, you may need to eat a little bit more at each meal, or eat more frequently. Alternatively, you could keep something like roasted unsalted peanuts at your desk for you to snack on to carry you through. I have a big tub of that shit at my desk. Mind you, all of this is from someone who is uneducated in nutrition. I will defer to our guru for more correct info.
I suggest keeping some healthy snacks at work. My stomach usually growls after 2 hours too!
Here is what I keep handy @ work:
* cheesestring
* ff yogurt
* soymilk and protein powder
* whole grain crackers
I also keeps packs of crystal light as well. Sometimes, just fill up on this until your next meal, it should work!
And HOORAY for picnics!! Yes it will be romantic :D
Workout & Meals for Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Workout: weights - upper body
I did 60 mins of skating today, but honestly, I shouldn't count skating as a workout. I wouldn't count it as cardio b/c 1. I didn't sweat as much as I usually do (and I sweat a lot). 2. I didn't really push myself like it was cardio b/c the exercises we were doing didn't require it.

1. 1 slice of 12 grain bread + 2 HB eggs + light havarti cheese
2. swiss chalet 1/4 chicken + corn
3. baked chicken breast + vegetables + ff yogurt

5. 1/2 protein bar + steak & 1/4 cup brown rice
I must say, I'm getting tired of HB eggs.

2. energy bar (it had 11g of protein)+ cheese & crackers

I had try-outs for skating today, but I don't consider skating as a 'workout'. Also had baseball practice (which I must admit, my pitches were very good today. I hope I don't psych myself out during a game) but not much cardio there.
Meals weren't good for me because I did quite a bit of running around. I managed to eat that energy bar b/n skating & baseball.
I then had to attend my niece's first communion party at a chinese/indian buffet. I managed to not eat the fried foods (like chicken balls & fried shrimp). And the best part was watching Arlene eat two slices of white cake :P
Ahahaha, another note. Arlene complimented me at the party. I flexed my muscles to show my biceps and before she could comment on me, she had to flex her muscles first to see if hers were still bigger....ahahah I LOVE IT! too funny.
It'll be even funnier where she starts to work out harder because you look better lol
Workout & Meals for Monday, April 21, 2008

5. baked chicken w/ asparagus, onions & mushrooms -- Emil's cooking. (Sorry Mary, this was a last minute meal)
So I got to work dreading breakfast b/c I'm so tired of my hb eggs and toast. I need some other sort of meat (and not Spam, Emil, though spam is quite tasty). Meanwhile, right beside the printer at work, there was a party size box of timbits. Every now and then I'd take a peak and see how many timbits were left. Usually i'm okay when the timbits are all chocolate, but this box was all not-chocolate timbits.
I was good though, thought about my beach body the whole time!
between meals 4&5, i ate: ff yogurt & sky flakes + 1/2 a banana w/ peanut butter
I forgot about that snack.
Yes, we'll do rollups without the step now, its so hard. I find my knees wobbling out. It also killed the shin :S

Workout & Meals for Wednesday, June 4, 2008
Workout: none
Meals: high carb day that turned into a cheat.
So I planned on doing a class + a 5K run today, but went out for Jay's birthday dinner instead.
Tuckers was good...especially the apple crisp & ice cream. mmmm
hey tracy, glad to see that you are still posting. i think after the "after pics" it took awhile for ppl to get back in the groove, hence, the lack of posts overall. but hopefully we can ALL get back into it. i know im struggling to.
yea, i get in and out of it.
Yesterday I had planned on running 5K & going to the Low & tone class, but after the class, I was just too tired to run.
Today I was eating relatively healthy until RJ (my ina-a-nak) came over & I bought pizza for him & my cousins.
I'm finding it hard to motivate myself to run. After yesterday's workout I have decided that I must run first before going to a class
Today (Friday) is my rest day as I plan on running 7miles (11k) tomorrow morning. I am going to run. Yes, I am going to run tomorrow.
I didn't run Saturday.
Or Sunday.
and the reason why I didn't run was 1. it was too hot & 2. I didn't want to.
So I've decided I'm not running my Marathon anymore. I don't have the drive or desire to run it.
The difference w/ me running the marathon last year vs. this year was that last year, I loved to run. But lately, the idea of running makes me lazy. It also stresses me out to know that I'm not following my 'marathon training schedule' as planned...which worries me that I won't be able to complete my marathon.
So I'll run my Terry Fox Run (10K), the CIBC Run for the Cure (5K) and maybe a 1/2 Marathon (not sure which one yet). I still plan on doing another Marathon, but not this year.
Workout: Mind, Body & Core, 60 mins

Workout: TMC (60 mins)
Meals:
1. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ peanut butter & 'less sugar' jam

3. 1/2 12 grain bagel w/ salmon salad from a can -- it was so gross, but it was all I had
4. 1 peanut butter cookie (pre workout meal)
5. brown rice w/ ground beef & vegetables
A peanut butter cookie for pre workout meal is PATHETIC...i know. but that's all I had time for. I almost passed out when I was in class today. I felt so dizzy.
My eating habits are horrible right now.
I try my best to eat every three hours. but sometimes I'm not hungry after the 3 hours...then there are other times that I'm so hungry after 1 hour.
I'll figure it out...eventually
*note to self* Saturday 9:15am morning classes at the valleys are not good!
Just stick w/ Lisa's classes.
