Exercise Goal: Continue Max10 at least 5 days per week (3 days...hubby's dr. appt. ran over so I missed Thursday, sick Friday and Saturday)
Exercise Goal: Do additional 30 min. of workouts 2-3x/week (bike, jog, walk, etc.) (None...too hot and been sick)
Nutrition Goal: Eat out no more than 2x/week (Ate out quite a bit this week due to heat-didn't want to turn on oven or stand outside and grill...so fail on this one)
Nutrition Goal: Eat fewer carbs and more veggies and fruit (I'm not putting a number on this but this is a serious goal I need to work on) (Ehh...did okay)
Weight Goal: Weigh 235 by July 30th (trip with college friends to St. Louis)...less would be great, but this averages one pound/week. (Beginning weight was 242.0 and this week, I'm at 238.0....loss of 4.0 pounds in three weeks...I attribute this to the stomach flu I got yesterday because I was planning on a gain this week)
Not proud of things this week and also got sick, so hoping this next week goes much better! St. Louis trip on Friday!

Week 2 Weigh-In
Here are my goals from last week and how I did this week:
Exercise Goal: Continue Max10 at least 5 days per week (6 days done, thank you very much!)
Exercise Goal: Do additional 30 min. of workouts 2-3x/week (bike, jog, walk, etc.) (That's a negative this week unless you count climbing up numerous steps yesterday, many times with a tube, at the water park)
Nutrition Goal: Eat out no more than 2x/week (Ate out twice this week...once for anniversary/job celebration and once for lunch at the waterpark....goal met.)
Nutrition Goal: Eat fewer carbs and more veggies and fruit (I'm not putting a number on this but this is a serious goal I need to work on) (Still working on this...this week was not stellar, but not horrible)
Weight Goal: Weigh 235 by July 30th (trip with college friends to St. Louis)...less would be great, but this averages one pound/week. (Beginning weight was 242.0 and this week, I'm at 239.8....loss of 2.2 pounds in two weeks...I've got two weeks to lose 4 pounds...doable, but time to step it up)

That's what I'm talking about!!!
Dang, it feels to be a gangsta....
Or completely back on track. I nailed it today, in all aspects. My diet was on key. My workout was phenomenal (gosh, I love kickboxing). I just feel good. I have energy. I feel healthy.
Now, I need to do and feel this every day.
On a somewhat unrelated note....happy vibes to my hubs and me as we wait to hear the outcome of his teaching interview from last week. Him getting this job would relieve some unneeded stress in our lives!!!
I FEEL GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

It's What's for Dinner
No, not beef.
Chicken!
I made an incredibly healthy dinner tonight and it was incredibly easy! I made grilled chicken sandwiches with a side of pineapple and strawberries. I simply marinated the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in Italian dressing, grilled them and put them on toasted whole wheat buns! Add some spinach and tomato and it's delish! No mayo for me...that's never been a problem though.
I had to make up for the not so healthy breakfast....the last piece of cheesecake from my birthday. I say I recovered pretty well. Goes to show that just because you make a poor choice first thing, doesn't mean you need to blow the whole day.
Those 230s are going to appear this week. I'm going to make it happen. And my next goal is that their stay is short lived.

Week 1 Update
Here are my goals from last week and how I did this week:
Exercise Goal: Continue Max10 at least 5 days per week (I only did 2x this week due to July 4th, my birthday, and they were closed today...interim weeks...new crew starts at class on Monday)
Exercise Goal: Do additional 30 min. of workouts 2-3x/week (bike, jog, walk, etc.) (That's a negative this week unless you count climbing up numerous steps today, many times with a tube, at the water park)
Nutrition Goal: Eat out no more than 2x/week (I say this because of birthday and anniversary and trip to St. Louis) (Let's see...1, 2, 3, 4....out of town last weekend and my birthday)
Nutrition Goal: Eat fewer carbs and more veggies and fruit (I'm not putting a number on this but this is a serious goal I need to work on) (I can say I worked on this, but there is room for growth)
Weight Goal: Weigh 235 by July 30th (trip with college friends to St. Louis)...less would be great, but this averages one pound/week. (Last week's weight was 242.0 and this week, I'm at 240.8....loss of 1.2 pounds which is good considering the lack of exercise and number of eating out times)

Tomorrow's the Day!
Tomorrow's my birthday....nah, nah-nah, nah, nah!
And it's "hopefully" the day I re-enter the 230s.
In case I don't, I am so proud of the workout I did today. I did kickboxing for the first time in a week and I pushed hard. My instructor even said at one point, "Damn, Nicole's on fire!"
Yes, sir.
I kicked it.
Did you?

Weekend Recap
Hi all! Hope you had a fabulous 4th and was able to enjoy some time with family and friends.
This weekend was one of my best friend's bridal showers and bachelorette party. I'm matron of honor in her wedding on 9-10-11, so I played hostess. Let me tell you how the weekend went:
-Went to the pool with hubs...fun and slightly active
-Centerpiece cake flopped on the two-hour drive
-Shower was chocolate themed....read: chocolate cake, Better than Sex cake (not sure I agree....!!!), Oreo cheesecake (yes, please drool with me), Three-layer brownies (holy rich goodness), homemade chocolates, and M&Ms.
-Four hours on the road
-Only one beer....bride is not much a drinker which bodes well for my diet
-Appetizers at a restaurant that were fried goodness
-4th of July party with carb overload...did make a patriotic jello cake though and it was yummy and super cute!
Notice: No active exercise. I don't count the pool. It was too busy to get my heart rate up.
Notice: No mention of fruits and vegetables. Yeah, didn't see much of those.
Today, I'm back in the saddle and worked out for the first time since last Wednesday. It was weights and bands night and I know I'll be feeling it tomorrow. Tomorrow's kickboxing, and I think it will probably kick my butt.
Oh well, that's my own fault. I deserve that.
Here's to being back on track. I'm not going to let one weekend detour me from my goals. I still have a goal of being below 240 by my birthday which is Thursday. This morning, I was 0.8 away from that.
