The journey from fat to fit. Road trip, woo hoo!

Pre gym breakfast: yogurt

Post gym breakfast: bottle of water, JC french toast

Exercise: Ran 5 miles, can I get an Amen?  Posted it here.

Ate my low cal, low fat lunch and, hello, still freaking hungry.

Pre Boot Camp Breakfast: 1/2 whole wheat bagel with peanut butter, bottle of water

Post Boot Camp Breakfast: bag of JC cheerios, Starbucks orange mango banana Vivanno, 1/2 a Starbucks espresso brownie (why oh why did I buy the brownie?)

Lunch: JC burrito, 100 cal bag of cheetos

Dinner: Arby’s - roast beef sandwich, no cheese, 1/2 order of fries, diet coke

Exercise: Boot Camp Day 5… half way done.

Breakfast: JC pancakes, water

Lunch: diet coke, two little slivers of homemade zuchinni bread (not made by me) and a 100 cal snack pack of cheetoes

Dinner: UPDATE: JC chicken and beans.  Also had a pre-dinner snack of a yogurt and a post-workout snack of a Vivanno from S’bux.

Exercise: nothing yet, but plan is go to gym with DH tonight, which I don’t want to do because the nighttime gym visits with the early morning boot camp are not a good combo, but Tuesday night is supposed to be our workout together night, so we’ll see.

UPDATE: Went to the gym and ran 4.7 miles!  Actually, I did walk the last .2 +/-, but a solid 4.5 mile run. 

Breakfast: pre-boot camp: 1/2 whole wheat bagel with peanut butter, bottle of water

Lunch: salad from Taco Del Mar which was mediocre at best, diet coke

Dinner: JC meatball sandwich and about 50 lb of Doritos, diet coke

Exercise: Boot Camp Day 4… read all about it

Breakfast: pre-5k - 1/2 a whole wheat bagle with peanut butter, bottle of water; post-5k - strawberry/peach smoothie, more water, lots of it

Lunch: a ham/pear/brie crepe, tiny side salad and diet coke

Dinner: JC fish and chips, diet coke and JC cookies

Snack: handful of almonds

Exercise: 5k, in which I was very kick ass.  Offiical race results here!

I beat my best time and my goal for the day SIGNIFICANTLY and am so excited about that!  I ran the 5k in 35 minutes and 52 seconds.  My goal was to be under 39 minutes!  I came in fourth for women my age (40-44).  I am so stoked!

I started out too fast and knew I was not going to last at that pace, but I was caught up in the momentum of the group.  I hit the one mile mark at 10:08.  A freaking 10 minute mile… for me!  Unheard of.  I hit the two mile mark at 21:15… so a second mile also way above my average time.  By then I was getting tired, and we hit some hills, so I lapsed into a much slower jogging pace.  And then, before I knew it, the race was over! 

So my average pace was under a 12 minute mile, and I couldn’t be happier with that.

Exercise: nothing yet, and OMG it is supposed to get up to 104 outside, so no thanks

UPDATE: Ran 3.1 miles in 37 minutes 14 seconds… woot!

This sucks hard.  I lost one pound.  In two weeks.  After having gained more than one pound.  So I am not even back to my “best” weight of three weeks ago.  WAAAAHAHHHHHH!  So frustrating.  Weight today: 148.4.  Lowest weigh in three weeks ago was I think 148.2.

Also, it was my four-week measurement day.  EXACTLY THE SAME, INCH PER INCH, ON EVERY PART OF MY BODY.  I did not lose so much as 1/16 of an inch over the last four weeks.  So, basically, I have made ZERO progress in a month, a month in which I worked my ass off, though I was not completely on food plan.  BUT STILL!  Shit!

It is hot as balls outside and my retarded family wants brats cooked on the grill for dinner.  My effing legs ache and I am walking like a 90-year-old.  Let me say it again, WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
