great stuff

hi guys!
i had an AWESOME day yesterday - i have to say i am getting REALLY good at the eating part of this - ive made all my goals almost every single day (give or take really tiny details, like overeating carbs by 2g or something, which, for the numbers TOTALLY counts, but for the point of the project doesnt count to me)... and, BEST OF ALL:
RESULTS, RESULTS, RESULTS!
seeing them in the mirror and on the scale. feel way better, feel different, love how different my body feels energy-wise, etc.
yesterday i had an incredible workout and even beat my goal by like 10%, which doesnt sound like a lot but after a hugef workout, doing even more was hard.
travelling is done for the rest of the month and the countdown REALLY starts now... about 15 days until THE DAY when we compare our body fat loss. i hope the numbers continue to reflect the hard work ive put into this! (im pretty annoyed with the scale at my gym AND the body fat calculations they do there, i am sure they are off.)
what im glad to say is that while i was away over the weekend, i NATURALLY ate on my program, pretty much without thinking about it at all! **I SHOULD MARKET THIS!**
so monday's numbers were good, except didnt meet water, fruits/veggies or protein goals (i was a smiiiidge behind in all of them - in reality it was fine, but the numbers look for perfection, so fine)...
tuesday was PERFECT and even better (i ran on the lake AND went to the gym AND overdid it at the gym!) - except i ran out of my meds and didnt refill - doing that first thing today. so my #s were a tiny bit low for that reason.
today will be great. youll see my #s are totally low, but ive just started the day! watch me KILL THIS DAY! woot!!
even though lbs arent what we are going for necessarily, i ive lost close to 10! bodyfat wise, like i said, my gym's measuring is definitely off, since it says ive lost zero fat. ill have to find another way to measure for the big day.
im also going to commit to LIFT every day till april 1. yoikes!

happiness!

thursday 3-4

im posting this way late, but thursday was GREAT. another really great day. i did a great job, didnt feel "diety" or deprived, and had a really hard workout even though i had a crazy busy day.
friday we left for a wedding and were out of town till just now, sunday afternoon. i am proud to say two things:
1. i did an INCREDIBLE job and made REALLY good choices the whole time! usually i junk it up for airplane rides just to comfort myself, and this time i realized i dont have to junk it up, there are plenty of things to eat while im travelling that keep me on the program. the only things i ate that i usually wouldnt have eaten were wedding cake and some majorly sugary icing-covered cookie samples at a grocery store. SOME. meaning, more than one sample. probably a whole cookie's worth... which means i KNOW my numbers for that day would have been bad. however, absolutely everything else i ate the entire weekend (other than wedding cake and the cookie samples) (oh oh oh, and beer at the wedding, but not even a whole one! and shared sips of sangria) - everything was responsible and accounted for, even though i couldnt record it on my program thing. what i regret is that i didnt drink more water, i know i wouldnt have met my goals. i tried, but not enough and could have done better.
2. i weighed myself on a totally different scale and realized that ive lost 8lbs since i started this contest! the scale at my gym has GOT to be off.

so im posting my day from thursday. i didnt have a 100% day because i didnt have enough water. ergh!

also, i realized as i was out of town that i DO have a way of keeping my chart on track while i travel... instead of following the program without being able to enter it in the chart, i figured it out (the chart and program are on my laptop and i dont usually bring it). woot. loooots of travelling this week so ill try it out.

wednesday, 3-3

hi! GREAT day.
ate perfectly, had a HARD workout (2 hours!)... didnt go over on my carbs, and still felt like i had a ton of carbs. looks like i just have to pay more attention and im fine.
cold is way better. no more pressure in my forehead and nose... now my throat hurts a little, but im WAY better.
had some coffee about an hour before my big workout, i am pretty sure that helped a lot - also, made it through my chocolate cravings with my FAVORITE think thin bars (thrilled from my day. ill try to make today just as good!
thanks, friends!!

ps - i should add: im only 71% for the week, i looked into it and part of my week goals has been to lift as well as do cardio... which i havent been doing at all! thats why my week score is so low at 71%. im gonna get on that! shoot!!
