Currently 6:33am and I’m on route to the gym. I didn’t get a chance to post pictures from yesterday’s last hoorah but I’ll tell you I wasn’t as excited as I am today! I am so ready to take on this challenge and see how I look and feel after 12 weeks. 84 days, that’s all.
So here are my numbers as far as starting day:
Weight: 118.2 lbs
Measurements:
- Arm 11.5″
- Waist 28.5″
- Hip 36.5″
- Leg 21.5″
I can already tell this is going to be a lot of work but I know I can do it. It’s all a mental game. Everything in this world is a mental game.
Remember, you are your worst enemy and your best friend, so tread carefully and use that to your advantage.
Now, let the day begin!
I’ve decided to save my morning blurbs and wait until later in the day to post the final entry. But I figured I’d record my meals as the day progresses.
This was my morning breakfast:
2 oz. of egg substitute
2 oz. of chopped up bell peppers (used cooking spray)
1 piece of Arnold Whole Wheat toast
11 Almonds
Smoothie:
1 cup of spinach
1 oz. of strawberries
Since I workout early in the morning, I get to eat the most carbs for breakfast. Technically I go with two slices of toast, but I figured I’d switch it up this time and do toast and some fruit.
Meal 3 consisted of a sandwich (Sorry, no picture! I was volunteering with Habitat for Humanity and ate the sandwich so quickly that I forgot to snap a picture)
2 oz of chicken
1 piece of toast
1/2 tablespoon of mayo
A pinch of Spinach leaves
2 oz of Broccoli
Meal 4 consisted of:
3 oz of chicken
2.7 oz of potatoes
2 oz of broccoli
11 almonds
I’m trying to track when and if I get cranky or have uncontrollable cravings. I’ve already got a little hangry and upset at my boyfriend today when we got back from volunteering. It was something very silly (got upset about him not wanting to carry the water bottle) but fortunately got over it within 5-10 minutes.
So far so good! I was a little exhausted today but that might have been because we only got about 5.5 hours of sleep last night. Anyway, it’s only 4:30pm and I still have two more meals so that’s something to look forward to! Haha
Meal 5
118g of Greek Yogurt (non fat and plain)
16g of Cashews
2.5 oz of Strawberries
3 oz of cucumbers
And lastly, I tried to make casein cookies with my boyfriend but they turned out like crepes. Haha totally unintentional, but I enjoyed them just as much. My boyfriend didn’t though 🤷🏻♀️
Meal 6:
20g of Casein
16g of Peanut Butter
1/3 cup of water
1 tsp of baking powder
1 oz of strawberries
That’s a wrap for today!
Ps I wound up taking a 2.5 hour nap after meal 4. I was so exhausted from volunteering all day! 😝
