The past two days have been so hard for me. I have been so so sore from my workout with jake on Tuesday. I went in yesterday to do some cardio, i worked on the eliptical for 45 minutes. Today I did 30 minutes on the eliptical before i worked out with jake. We did chest and back today to help improve my posture.
He gave me my calories I need to be eating per day and i need to be eating 2100 calories. I thought I needed like 1800 and i never really get more than 1500 jake thinks that could be part of the reason i haven't been successful in the past. I hope with a new calorie goal i can be very successful.
My goal tomorrow is to go to fit fusion class and eat 2100 calories. Hopefully my legs will have recooperated by morning.
around 220 pounds
Me one week before I met Ryan.

First Day with a Trainer
I had my first training session today with a trainer. It felt really nice to know I was getting what I needed out of a workout. My Trainer and I don't mesh very well I might switch if I don't feel more comfortable with him after awhile. I guess I can't get a BOB from biggest loser but I should get who I want right? We worked out my legs, shoulders, and core. I learned that the reason my back always hurts when I do abdominal work outs is because I arch my back if I start arching is when I stop.
I did really well on my protein today for breakfast I had a glass of milk with my fruit and fiber one bar, I had a handful of peanuts later when I really wanted a Muffin. For lunch I had a Turkey Sandwich and my next snack I had another sandwich. For dinner I made Italian Chicken and Brown Rice with green beans. It was a really good day all in all. I loved the gym I wish my session was longer than 40 minutes but I had to get home so Ryan could get to work. It was a Stressful day and I really wanted to snack every time I finally got the girls to calm down. I felt I deserved it but I didn't give in all because of you guys.
Here is my dinner recipe
Italian Chicken 236 Calories per serving
20 ounces Chicken raw Chicken Breast
1 package Fat Free Cream Cheese
1 14 ounce can Low sodium Cream of Mushroom soup
1 Package Italian Seasoning dressing mix
Mix cream cheese, soup, and seasoning together, pour over chicken in a crock pot. Cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours
4 ounce chicken and 1/2 cup sauce 236 Calories
1/2 cup Long grain brown rice 108 Calories
1 cup green beans 40 Calories
Total 384 Calories
Tomorrow Wednesday
Goals
Exercise: 45 Minutes Cardio and 15 Minutes core
Tomorrow I don't have a session with my trainer so I have to push myself and make myself work hard.
Diet: Log all my food and get all my calories in
My biggest problem is trying to get enough calories for the day and still eat the right things.
:ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Incentive and Motivation
Today was a good day I met my two goals. I met with a personal trainer today I am starting a program tomorrow. I am suppose to be at my goal weight of 160 pounds and 20% body fat in one year. Ryan promised me that we would go on a cruise once I get to my goal weight. I am excited for that cruise next year. Lol! I also promised myself I couldn't have another baby until I ran a marathon but that'll be next summer sometime.
Ryan and I are also starting a bet between eachother. Who ever goes without fast food the longest gets 50 dollars to spend on whatever we want. Im going to use it to buy my fancy dress for my cruise!
My goal for tomorrow is to have my protein every three hours and to step it up at the gym. Every day I will be setting a nutrition goal and an exercise goal. Wish me luck

Manipulation and Chocolate
Sunday March 20, 2011
I have decided that Sunday will be my day off from exercise, goals, and logging food. Not a CHEAT day, but a day of rest like Sunday should be. In the past I have had a hard time with cheat days, I always make excuses for myself. "I can have treats today too because I cheated yesterday why not do it for today too and start over tomorrow?" My diets up to this point have been a giant excuse to myself. I am my worst manipulator! Not anymore, I am giving myself a day (Sundays) to not worry about my calories. But I will still be eating good foods. No Sugar even on Sundays! This morning I did have a muffin for breakfast which is a big NO NO! I didn't even think about it until I was throwing my wrapper in the trash I was making breakfast for the girls and just started snacking. I feel that I should be completely honest with this blog and I will have no way to manipulate myself. Thinking "Just eat it! You don't have to blog about it!"
Today in relief society we were talking about the word of wisdom. When you think about the word of wisdom you think of drugs and alcohol right? Today we talk about keeping our bodies healthy and how that related to the word of wisdom. We talked about our diet and harming ourselves but putting bad stuff into our bodies. How when we've gotten to a point that we don't just want something, we NEED it like Chocolate or Soda! Also how we should stay active to keep our mind and bodies healthy.
I really think that this lesson was for me today. In thinking about it, I know I have not been doing the right things for myself. I have an addiction to Chocolate! Whenever I bought chocolate to bring home I would do one of two things with it. I would either hide so I can eat it all myself over time or I would Eat it all before Ryan got home so I could eat it ALL! Then I would drive to the store just for a box of ding dongs or a bag of reeses. I would think about it all morning and plan out how I would get there. I feel like Chocolate controls my life. Well NO MORE!
In the past I have always done better on diets if I also exercise! I love the gym environment and going to classes like spinning, yoga, fit fusion, zumba, etc. Exercise also makes me a happier person. I love the endorphins I get while at the gym. Tomorrow I am going to do my first free training session with a personal trainer. I am excited but scared to see what kind of physical shape I am in. I think I kind of know with how sedentary I have been until recently.
Mondays goals:
I am going eat all 1800 calories my body needs
I am going to hit my calorie burn of 3500 calories
One of the tools I am using to count the calories I burn is The Bodybugg that they use on The Biggest Loser. I was really excited when I got it for christmas thinking it would do all the work for me but it still is alot of work to log all the food into the system so it can tell you your calorie deficient so you can estimate how much you will lose. 3500= 1 pound so if I burn 1000 calories more per day than I eat I will lose 2 pounds a week. It is really cool tool that will help me alot if I use it right.
