Breakfast: carrot cake cupcake (leftover from last night. It counts as carb loading, right?)
The race was great! So many people. I think they said 11,000. We started at 8:30 and I was done by 9:05 so not too bad. Some of the hillier parts I walked but I was okay with how it turned out. Definitely want to improve and do another one!
Now I have to get all my chores done so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend. Courtney is having another taste testing tomorrow at my house and I'm staying the night in Stillwater after Brad's wedding because my parents want to take me out for my birthday tomorrow so Busy weekend! I need to get my house in order before Courtney can cook though.
To Do:
1. Laundry
2. Clean Kitchen/Do Dishes
3. Weedeat/edge yard
4. Clean floors
5. Reconcile checkbook
6. Buy kitchen cart and assemble

Saturday!
CONGRATS on your first 5k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an accomplishment! So proud of you dude!
Can't wait to hear all about it!
I'm feeling rather guilty about last night. I feel like I do really well during the week and then blow it on the weekends with my eating. Nothing to do but get back on track for the rest of the weekend I suppose (even though it's my dad's birthday this weekend and there will be cake tomorrow).
Speaking of birthdays, your present should be arriving around Tuesday of next week! I just had it shipped to your house, hope that's ok. Can't wait for you to get it, I think you're really gonna like it! It's nothing fancy since I'm on such a budget right now, but it's pretty cool.
I didn't get the second workout in yesterday either, so I will do it today since today is usually a rest day. I think it works out better for me to just take a rest day whenever I need it rather than having it scheduled only to Saturday.
Breakfast: coffee with half and half
Lunch: ham and cheese quesadilla
Snack: apple with PB
Dinner: steak, fresh green beans
Dessert: acorn squash with butter, cinnamon and splenda (tastes like pie!)
Snack: icelandic yogurt with blackberries
Activity: Insanity Pure cardio + Cardio abs (-750)
Water: (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) x x
Calories: 1367 (96%); deficit of 813 cals

Friday
Breakfast: Apple cinammon bar
Lunch: Went to Cafe 501. Had tomato soup and half of a salad w/pumpkin seeds, walnuts and lemon dressing
Dinner: ????
Activity: none- going to a double feature w/Megan, Betsy and Shanetha
So I didn't end up working out last night or Wednesday. I feel like every time I set a goal that's when I end up not working out. It's like I put too much pressure on myself which sounds weird I know but I think it's true. Wednesday we didn't get done with our Skookum meeting til 9:45 and my gym closes at 10 so that was a no-go. Then last night I went out with Sarah and we were done at 8 but Shanetha texted and I asked if I wanted to come over and watch Grey's with her so I did. I would rather see them any day than work out which I know is human nature but I just have a hard time saying no to friends for exercise. I don't think I want to change that about myself either. I just have to be focused on days that I am by myself. And maybe I should plan and if I know I'm going out with someone that night I will do my best to workout that morning. I need to figure out a plan for this.
The good news of the day is I went and registered for the 5k tomorrow and got my t-shirt and number. I will be running starting at 8 so I'm really looking forward to it.

Wednesday for the Win
So I'm having another lazy day today. My preceptor is golfing today. I'm trying really hard to enjoy the free time and not get bored to tears, haha, but it is honestly hard for me. So, I am focusing on being fit and healthy! I keep telling James I need a hobby, but I just realized this morning that working out and being fit could be my hobby. Exploring new foods and trying new things could be my free time. That was kind of an Ah-Ha moment I think.
Also so you know, you can go to "My Diet" on the right sided menu of Fat Secret to change your RDI to your calculated calories.

Tuesday
Breakfast: Oatmeal
Snack: Apple & PB
Lunch: Amy's tomato soup w/wheat crackers and greek yogurt
Snack: Bear Naked Granola cookie
Dinner: 5 fried green beans, 4 pieces of spicy shrimp roll, shirataki noodles w/veggies (Went to Panchinko Parlor with Betsy for dinner)
Snacks: popcorn & bear naked granola cookie
Activity: Zumba - tonight was a really great class. I love Natalie!
So it's crazy you talked about the 500 calorie deficit because I had a telephone coaching meeting this evening with my health mentor for work(we have to do this once a month for the next 5 months to get our $75 gift card but I just wanted to do it. They talk about goals and give advice. It's a pretty cool program. It goes hand in hand with our biometric screening) and he talked about the same thing. He also talked about the 30 minute window after working out when it's best to get in a good 4-1 carb:protein snack to help rebuild muscle and replace what you lost during the workout. We also talked about working out hardcore for 3 weeks and then taking a rest week where you still workout but you just do low intensity. He said even athletes do it. So my 2 goals for the next month were to track everything and to give myself a rest week after 3 hardcore weeks.
Sorry I'm so late posting. I had to go back to work after zumba and I just got out of the shower and am trying to relax before going to bed. Thank goodness for Bon Iver pandora.
I'm going to go figure out my baseline metabolic basal rate and see how that measures up with what I've been doing. What great stuff to learn!!!
Edit: Okay so I just calculated it and it says baseline is 1500. So I guess I shoot for 1,000 calories with working out??? Is that right? I think that's totally do-able. If I'm not working out I'll just need to watch what I eat really carefully but that's probably how it should be anyway.

Activity: Insanity plyometrics--this was really hard today. I had no energy going into it and I'm glad its over with.
I found out good info today!! I chatted with Gena and asked about how many calories you should eat back from those burnt in a workout. She says it doesn't really matter as long as you aim for a 500cal deficit per day. You can cut back 250 from your diet and burn 250 working out or you can burn 500 working out, or just however. If that's too strict, you can spread it out more, but obviously it'll be slower weight loss. I think as long as you have the deficit you want. It was much simpler than I thought.
Here's a fancy formula for how many calories you start with --Ok, so this formula is to estimate your basal metabolic rate or how much you burn everyday just living. So I figure this is about what you need to maintain? This is called the Harris Benedict formula and is usually in kg/cm, but this version corrects for that.
Adult female: 655 + (4.3 x weight in lbs.) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

Monday
Today's been pretty good. Got to come home early and take a nap, which is always good. Did you get the day off since banks are closed?? I hope so!
Just get back on track, you can do it. I think looking at the "fitness" section on Pinterest has really helped me this week to stay motivated. Except when I ate 4 muffins last night....I kinda of binged on them, but at least they were sort of healthy apple/raisin/cinnamon muffins. Probably had a little bit of fiber, right? Anyway, I keep imagining how fit I want to be after browsing Pinterest and it really helps my will power and motivation.
Breakfast: blackberries, turkey bacon, coffee with half and half.
Lunch: meatloaf and acorn squash
Dinner: spaghetti with homemade sauce
Snack: tortilla with PB
Activity: Insanity Pure Cardio (I'm gonna die)
Water: (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) () () (), (X)1 coffee (X)tea?

Monday 10/10
Breakfast: Apple & Oatmeal
Lunch: Amy's Organic Soup & crackers
Dinner: Kashi meal & veggies
Dessert: Bare granola chocolate cookie
Activity: Gym (Run for 2.5 miles & Elliptical for 30 minutes) 35 minutes on treadmill, 30 minutes on treadmill = 622 calories. Feel really good!!!
New Goals: Workout 5 times a week. Track all food. Get my water in. I want this to become habit.
I didn't do well on eating this weekend. I went to my parents on Friday and Saturday to see Jim & Loretta and we had pizza, hotdogs, cupcakes and all sorts of candy. Needless to say that was bad. I just chilled at home yesterday and finished getting all of my Halloween decor up. I started feeling pretty guilty yesterday evening about everything. I did go to zumba on Saturday morning but that was really the only activity I had for the whole weekend. It's amazing how much better I feel if I just do things that are good for me. I woke up re-energized this morning and ready to tackle the week.
You've been doing great! I love how it seems like only one of us does well at one time but I see you exercising and eating right and it makes me want to get back on track. Thanks for the inspiration dude!
I decided to post a picture of Halloween. You should post a pic of the new car!

Lunch: chicken leg
Dinner: grilled chicken salad, french onion soup
Snack: apple/raisin/cinnamon muffins
Activity: insanity power and resistance
I found out that there is Zumba here in Mannford! They offer it 4 days a week, I'm just not sure what time--going to look into that tomorrow. I really want to try it!!!
