Mixed feeling today...
Last night my family and I did all the Christmas decorations, followed by ordering in Chineese food. I LOVE CHINEESE take out! I haven't had it in soooo long and looked forward to having a bit of indulgence.
I know that my portion was larger than my normal portions I have been eating, but not insane by any means. I had 1 plate full (as opposed to the 2 -3 I use to do!) I did eat 1/2 an egg roll (this is probably the one thing I wish I would have just said no to)
Anyways, I was well prepared for the fact that this was going to be a higher calorie dinner and loaded with sodium. What I wasn't prepared for was the fact that the scale was going to show 4 lbs increase this morning... 4LBS FROM ONE MEAL...I AM SO PISSED! 1 - 2 pounds was my mental preparation, so this was quite a shocker to me.
I know I am in this for a lifetime, so that to me means I should be able to enjoy one "special" dinner with my family, but seriously that much of an increase is soooo disappointing! am I not supposed to ever have this type of meal EVER?
I think why it bothers me the most is that I have a weigh in day at the gym on Wednesday and I totally sabbotaged myself by eating this ONE meal...grrrrrrrr

4 days until the 10x10x10 challenge begins! I hope you will join me!!!
the concept is simple...
10 exercises X 10 reps x 10 sets (eventually!)
1st week = 10 exercises x 10 reps x 1 set per day
2nd week = 10 exercises x 10 reps x 2 sets per day
3rd week = 10 exercises x 10 reps x 3 sets per day
I think you get the pattern....until final week!
10th week = 10 exercises x 10 reps x 10 sets = 1,000 reps completed in one day!
Here are the excersises reccomended by the personal trainer at my gym...feel free to modify or do your own!!! :)
1. Swiss Ball Squats (using an exersise ball, place it between your back and the wall, keeping it in place squat down till knees are at a 90 degree angle and stand back up)
2. Planks (get into a push up position, feet together, but place your forearms on the floor about shoulder distance apart...keep your butt down so you have as flat of a surface as possible and hold that position)
3. Side Plank (place one forearm on the floor and opposite shoulder towards the ceiling. You can either stack one leg on top of the other or stagger your feet for more support. Make sure your hips are lifted off the ground and hold)
4. Push Up (my best advice here is to push yourself to do FULL push ups...get off your knees even if it is for only 1 or 2 to start!!!)
5. Sit Up (Do not pull on your neck..try to keep hands in front of you, but don't swing them for momentum. If you are struggling, try keeping your leggs straight out on the floor instead of bent...if a full sit up still isn't happening go for the crunches!)
6. Lower Ab Thrust (lay on your back and knees bent and feet on the floor. Try bringing your feet as close to your butt as possible. Lift and squeeze your butt up...keeping shoulder blades on the floor)
7. Plank Hands to Forearms (Remember the plank position...start there now one hand at a time push yourself up into a top push up position and back down to forearms)
8. Scissor Kicks (lay on your back and hold your leggs straight and about 6" off the ground...cross right leg over left and then left over right in a "scissor" like motion...don't lift your leggs to high in the air!)
9. Flutter kicks (lay on your back and hold your leggs straight and about 6" off the ground...in small "flutter like" motion kick up and down like you are swimming)
10. Swiss Ball Ham Curls (using the exercise ball, lay on your back and put your heels on top of the ball...lift your butt off the ground and pull the ball towards you and release back to start...never lower your butt to the ground!)
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!

So, according to weigh in this morning I am 1 lb up from last week. I am not too worried about this...
1. I was hoping to be 180 by thanksgiving and even with the 1 lb gain I am at 179...so still within my goal
2. We were on vacation for thanksgiving...normally I would have put on at least 5+ pounds....so 1 is an improvement!
3. My TOM always has a negative impact on my weight.
So, putting these factors aside, I will wait until next week, keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best!!!
Hoping the weigh in at the gym is 181 lbs...it is always heavier than my home weigh in...(probably because I have to wear clothes and the weigh in is at 7:00pm!)

Ok, so you will notice that I have no food entries for this entire weekend...and I am ok with this!
We left Tuesday night for a road trip from Bolingbrook, IL to Charlotte, NC.
Wednesday I did pretty good...there wasn't a gym at the hotel, so I actually talked myself into running around the parking lot and then I did lunges and side squats all the way down and back the hallway. I followed that up with a 20 min workout on my Aunt's Eliptical machine.
My intention was to get in a work out everyday to offset some of my eating...but as they say "best laid plans..." I acutally started to not feel well mid way through Thanksgiving day, so I didn't even end up eating any desserts! and I Friday I barely could eat anything at all (it was awful)...missed out on the HUGE shrip and crab boil!
Saturday I felt good enough to at least play Frisbee golf and join in the family kick ball game.
so needless to say after all that I have no clue what my calories in vrs. calories out is and i am not going to stress over it! My only hope is that on Wednesday (weigh in day at TEAM) I hope that I am at least even with last weeks class weigh in (180)...we shall see!!!

I DID IT...my goal was on Nov. 4th was to lose 5lbs by Thanksgiving for a weight of 180lbs. Well I got on the scale this morning (since we are leaving for a road trip tonight)and the scale said 178! I am so excited...I think this is just the boost I need to know that I will make it through the holidays! :)
