Hey there! So this weekend I have been very good at my workouts AND my eating!!
Saturday: Cardio of 90 minutes--mixture of walking/running for 75 minutes and then 15 minutes on that damn crazy bike thing (see below)--when walking and running, I walked 10 minutes at 4 incline and 4.0 mph, then ran 2 miles at 6 mph, then would do run 5 minutes/walk three minutes, and then towards the end, changed my incline from 2-8 every 4 minutes to finish up to 75 minutes. And then that crazy mountain bike thing. Basically sooo sweaty!! I gauge my workouts by how much I sweat!!
Food intake Saturday:
Breakfast--Oatmeal--I eat this every morning with a dash of skim milk, cinnamon, and Splenda
Mid-morning snack: a banana
Lunch: Open faced turkey sandwhich on whole grain bread with avocado, tomato, ane lettuce
Post-workout snack: Berry Protein smoothie
Dinner: Salad with tomato, reduced fat cheese, salsa, black olives, 1/2 chicken breast, and onion
Evening snack: Tangerine
I added up all of the calories for the day: 1,300
SUNDAY!!
Workout: 75 mins of cardio basically mirroring the above workout, without the crazy bike thing that makes my butt muscles hurt. I did the treadmill for an hour, and then rode the normal bike for 15 minutes.
MEALS
Breakfast: Duh--oatmeal
Mid-morning snack: Banana and Starbucks regular roast with a little skim milk
Lunch: Open faced turkey sandwhich--basically the same thing as yesterday, except yesterday I ate it at a restaurant
Post-workout snack: Banana-peach protein smoothie
The rest of my meals will be updated shortly--when I eat them. I think it's funny because I didn't realize how redundant my meals have been the past two days!! I had the same lunch, except one was yesterday at work, and the other was today at home!! And I don't usually eat that many bananas, I just don't want them to go bad!!
Crazy! Writing it down makes you feel like you eat so much. But when I discussed with Corrine my calorie intake for weight loss for how much cardio I do, she suggested 1,750 calories on the days I workout! Thats about 450 extra calories I should have eaten yesterday, but I wasn't ever hungry!!
Holy cow--this losing weight thing is tough to figure out!! Thank god for the internet!!

Redundant meals are ok. Especially when you are trying to lose. My "strict" diet mode is VERY redundant, but it's easy and convenient, so i stick with it.
