No cardio today. I needed a break, slightly burnt out over this week.
Today is a day off plan (planned)
M1 .50 bagel/1 whole egg/ slice of cheese .50 donut/12 swedish fish
M2 Protein Bar (Pure Protein) - not hungry didn't eat
M3 salad with small portion of pasta salad few pieces of chocolate
M4 Protein Bar (Balance Bar) - didn't eat
M5 Dinner Out- looks like pizza, small scoop of icecream
food was boring
Goal 128 ounces of water- not even close
summary
no venom today and the sugar load this morning is making me loopy already and it's only 9:20 AM. My mom's birthday tomorrow and we will have dinner out but I will stay on plan all day and take venom in the AM. Plus Cardio and Back training with Blythe early. Every time I eat off plan i feel like Hell. yet I still look forward to it. It's like I forget each time. Soon enough I will have no more scheduled cheats and I will miss the freedom of dinners out but know it will bring me to my ultimate goal.
Need to clean the house this weekend and maintain as I go. For the next two weeks it's hitting the gym twice daily.

tired today just plain tired. working out twice a day is hard I get home pack bags, go to bed, rinse and repeat. My husband's been really supportive and said don't worry it will be worth it. I am doing one workout tomorrow OR coming home and getting everything together and going to the gym late like 7:00. I haven't had much down time. I know... wah wah... LOL
*side note why do some pills feel like they are still in your throat even when you swallow them! Lean Dreams seems to be awful... I would rather be up all night
oh and NOTE TO SELF - only eat ground turkey that is 99% fat free I ate 93% today at lunch in a turkey burger and found a huge chunk of fat. I was at work and had to keep my composure! SICK!!!! that is why I ate .75 of it!

Good day, stayed on plan and have food ready for the next several days. I'll shop again Thursday night so I have food ready for the weekend.

Didn't take Venom today and I am TIRED. I should have taken one in the AM. Today was a total waste. I worked 6-12 this morning, didn't have food prepared AGAIN. And ate offplan. I have to want this and not be prepared is total self-sabotage. Which is the 'old me'
Before I go to bed every night my food for the day must be planned/ready to go in the morning. No matter how tired I am, no matter the situation. Food will be ready.
Meeting with Blythe in the AM ...

summary of what I plan to accomplish
time is flying! I am starting this and going to see if this is useful for me for keeping records of my journey. I use fitday as well. If this becomes too time consuming I'll just post photo updates...
Goals for the next year:
** all items in blue are things that are OFF-PLAN and not what was planned for the day
Goals for the next year:
- stick to my plan as close as possible. try not to expect perfection constantly but pick myself up and continue on if I deviate from plan.
- compete on stage CCC 2007
- use this forum to keep a history of my year including workouts, strength gains, food diary and achievements as well as failures.
- always push and challenge myself and never let fear get in my way.
- to lose around 60 lbs in 47 weeks.
- make sure all meals are planned for the weekend
- only eat off plan when it's allowed
- remember when I weigh myself to keep all emotion out of it, it's just a number
- take all supplements
