5/16 pm

Don't know if this is good or bad, but here is what I had today to eat:

B - banana, granola bar, smoothie drink
S - apple, granola bar
L - 2 spam sandwiches on toast with mayonaisse
S- banana
Supper - chicken over rice with peppers, corn
S - atkins ice cream bar, smoothie drink

I also skated for a hour with 2/3 breaks.

I'm sure I'm not eating right, so any ideas will be helpful!
 
Sheri is hitting the shower so she asked me to update her diary for her. She did great last evening. I took her and Ash out 4th St. Road to 200N then back in on Park Rd. We were out an hour and climed a couple of long hills. She had to rest a few times but made it. I was proud that she did not whine too much.

She also did well this morning. I wanted her to start on squats but my olympic bar was just a bit too heavy so we went to Leg presses, hamstring curls and weighted back ext. instead to try and build some leg and back strength. Perhaps in a week or two she will be able to squat. I plan to leave her at 3 sets for a week or two then add a fourth set to the workout.

Leg Press - 176x10, 2@202x10

Hamstring Curl - 2@33x10, 43x10

Back Ext. - 35x10, 40x10, 45x10

Tried to do Richard Simmons but Greene couldn't keep up with the steps. I did some by myself, but then decided to DDR instead. So far we have done about 1/2 hours worth, but we are taking a break to put my daughter to bed, then we will go at it some more.

B - banana, granola bar, smoothie drink
S - banana
L - leftover chicken with rice and baked potato
S - granola bar
Supper - hamburger helper and baked potato
S - atkins ice cream bar
 
Sheri left me to post this morning's workout again. I think she did pretty well. The plan is to do legs again tomorrow and then give her a rest day on Saturday.

Here is today's workout all on the Weider Pro 3200

Arm Press
40x12, 59x10, 79x1

Ab Crunch
42x10, 56x10, 70x5

Seated Rows (pulled to chest)
49x10, 64x10, 79x10

Lat Pull Downs (to waist)
46x10, 59x10, 59x5

Do you know how many calories and your macro breakdown for this? I dont know if this is similar to everyday, but I believe eating like this may hurt your chances of reaching your goals. You look to be lacking in protein and maybe fats.
 
I have tried to tell her that but she like to eat crap for breakfast. At least this is better than the way she use to eat. She would skip breakfast at home an run to the gas station and fill up on candy bars. :D She did at least have three eggs this morning.

As for adding protien, right now our finances are dwindling so quality protien may get more scarce. :(

Tough times call for canned tuna :D

I love tuna:D but Greene doesn't like the smell let alone the taste. I can eat it all day long. There are new flavors (i.e. garlic and herb, some kind of bbq). I highly recommend the garlic and herb.

yes..you can get it at the local grocery store in the aisle with the other tuna. it comes in the pouches. i know it sounds bad, but just try it. you might like it...i did.
 
5/18p

Today is the day that all the working out has caught up with me, so I didn't go out skating tonight. Greene wanted me to work out tomorrow and then have Saturday off, but it might be the opposite depending on how I feel tomorrow.

B - 3 scrambled eggs, banana, granola bar, smoothie
S - apple
L - Last of chicken and rice
No afternoon snack since I had Atkins ice cream after lunch
Supper - Porkchops, stuffing, baked beans, vegetables
S - popcorn

Ok so I know my eating isn't that healthy, but I'm trying to eat better, but it's not working all the time. I hope as I get into this more, it'll be better.
 
5/19p

Didn't work out this morning but got back from a hr long skate. Will be working out tomorrow, Greene will make sure of it.

b - oatmeal and 3 eggs
s - banana and granola bar
lunch - beans and weenies
s - apple
supper - smoked sausage, macroni and cheese, green beans
no snack because had ice cream after lunch

Are your trying to loose weight? If so you REALLY need to work on your eating habits. Try adding a protien shake a couple times a day. Get rid of the junk and get more cardio in. You said your trying to eat more healthy... Theres no trying just do it. I have to think everytime I want to eat to stay away from the junk. It's hard but if you want to get to a goal you just have to do it. Leave the beans and weenies, Mac and cheese and ice cream alone and save them for a cheat day as a reward.

She47441, It sounds like compared from before you are doing alot better as far as eating habits. Thats a very good plus. I first hand know how hard that is, and I'm a guy. Like ^^^ you need to tweak your diet a bit healthier as it was mentioned.

Imma throw down a list of things combined to show you what your consuming, and what you could change to best fit your goals:

scrambled eggs.. alot better if they were scrambled egg whites, or even better boiled egg whites

2 spam sandwiches on toast with mayonaisse.. Limit yourself to 1, whole wheat toast, without or VERY little low fat Mayo. I would use Tuna, since you said you love it, next time for protein. Spam out, Tuna in.

Atkins ice cream, popcorn.. you must limit your junk intake. As in eat icecream for a cheat snack once a week, the popcorn all not to bad, LITTLE or no butter though.

baked potato.. 2 in one day is not good. if you like yams, replace the 2 potatoes with some yams.

hamburger helper.. if income is in a downfall... gather all the hamburger helpers you woulda bought and buy a bag of boneless, skinless chicken. Herb it up, grill it, foreman grill it, or oven it. I'm sure it'll be hella tastier.

stuffing.. too much bread, whats wrong with broccoli, or caleghflour(sp?), or I've never read anything about a Salad?

Porkchops.. not breaded, chicken, chicken, chicken.

granola bar.. i'm finding that your eating a couple a day. if your having trouble with hunger, and more fruit, replace. Apples are a fact filling fruit.

Lose the weenies.

These are just from my own opinion.. I am not telling you to do this, but it would probably benefit you better. Your taking a good step to being fit, but its not easy. If you want to meet your goal, sacrifice and persistance is needed. I know you can do it.. just saying no to crap and yes to a nice, juicy, celery stick is the key. ;)

Few questions:

Whats in your smoothies?
How is your chicken prepared for your "chicken and rice"?
When you say vegetables, what kinds? And anything added to them like cheese?
What is in your oatmeal? You add sugar, brown sugar, honey, salt?

Also your routines show no cardio? 20-30 min walks a day would be great.

Don't be discouraged with our posts, I admire your honesty.

Brama...to answer your questions:

Smoothies are either strawberry banana or mixed berry. They are the Dannon lite and fit ones. Only 70 calories, not sure how much sugar is in them.

The chicken is plain and baked. That day I put mixture of peppers and onions on them and cooked it.

Vegetable melody with califour, broccilli and carrots, cooked in the microwave (kind of way of cheating to warm them up, but they taste like they are steamed). No cheese sauce.

Oatmeal is the maple and brown sugar. I have a box of Quaker 50% less sugar.

We usually go out at night when Greene gets home and skate for at least an hour around town.

I didn't workout at all like I was suppose to Saturday or today:( I probably should be spanked for that, but for the cardio part, we skated around the local park for about an hour.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the replies and for all the great advice. I know it may look like I'm not trying at all with my eating, but it does take time to quit the junk food and when you are on a limit budget like we are...you always can't eat healthy. I know that I should be eating more healthier food, but when all you can afford at times is beanies/weenies and hamburger helper...that's what you eat:eek:. I hope when we can get more money..we can eat better, but bare with me until then.

Monday is a start of a new week...hope it goes better than last week.
