Breakfast: 2 fried eggs, croissant, cruller.
I work at a very small office with people who constantly bust one another's balls. I often try not to draw attention to myself by, for instance, broadcasting that I'm trying to lose weight. So I'll eat whatever is ordered at the cafe, just as I normally would. I think I may have to change strategies.
Exercise: This was a patch job for me. I started with a five minute warm-up on the spin bike, and did the following circuit three times. Reps and weights varied.
- Air Squats (20/10/8)
- Stiff-legged Deadlifts--50 lbs (20/10/8)
- Bent-over Rows (each side) (25 lb first set, 20 lb second and third set) (20/10/8)
- Push-ups (on my knees...still) 20/10/8
- Sit-ups (20/10/8)
I followed the circuit with a hard five minutes on the spin bike, before completing six 20-second planks with 20-second rests between each plank. I'm wondering if my inability to do push ups on my toes, and my difficulty with the jump-out portion of burpees, is due to a weak core. So I'll add some planks to the end of my circuits for a while to see if that helps things. I look forward to hiring a trainer in November, let me tell you.
Lunch: Smoothie in a bowl made with soy milk, banana, oats, Vega protein powder, and chia seed, topped with granola and PB2.
I had dinner plans last night and had planned on ordering a salad, but that didn't happen. While getting ready for dinner, I had a small sliver of chocolate cake and two Ritz crackers topped with Havarti w/ dill. Then...
Dinner: At Tommy's on Coventry in Cleveland Heights--I started with the french onion soup (with the cheese, of course), moved on to a falafel pocket (of which I ate half), and had a few of the Niblet's french fries.
Dessert: Chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. And then a bit more, for good measure.
*sigh*
No. I am not giving up.
[I only ended up taking photos of my lunch, and I just don't feel like posting even that.]
