Almost late to post again. Weekends are packed with family time these days (well, now that Sarge is back to work, and starting tomorrow, up to his eyes in school work). I will try to get these done sooner. Maybe Fridays will be best?
This week, I had to switch up my work-out time. I was doing it while my son napped, but Monday afternoon, he woke up minutes after I finished, and interrupted my shower with blood curdling screams (still not really sure what that was about). So, Tuesday morning, I was determined to get up with Sarge at 0500 and do my thing. I didn't. I dragged my butt out of bed, and started around 0600. ^^;; Which, I proceeded to do the rest of the week.
Working out in the morning is much harder for me. But, mostly, I think, because of how quick I have to start to get it done. I don't really give my body time to wake up before I jump on the machine. I also feel dehydrated, since I only get a glass of water in before I start, and seem to lose strength about half way through (which, I began to combat with a banana pre-workout).
I really need to pry myself out of bed about 15-20 minutes sooner each morning so I can fully wake up and be ready to go. We'll see. I'll let you know next week if I was successful or not.
I also switched from the "manual" mode this week to the "fatburn" mode. Burned a lot more calories! But, I know I can do better.
Monday Weigh-In: 158.8
Monday I managed to do an additional bit of working out with some 3lb weights. I did three sets of arm exercises. It was the only day I managed this, ha.

Not bad. I really need to work on my endurance. I drag the last 15 minutes or so, even if I take it easy in the beginning. I suppose that will all come with time though.
I don't know if I did any better with the food this week. The page is definitely more full... so, who knows? I did manage to eat less of my son's lunch, ha.
Monday: 1/2 of a low fat yogurt cup, 3/4 banana, 1 cinnamon roll, 1 cup coffee, couple baby carrots (raw), a few grapes, 1 Hershey's kiss, 3 chicken nuggets, a serving of sweet potato fries (an actual serving per the bag, not my own calculation, ha), 1 serving of Terra brand chips (about 150 calories--I looked, they're pretty healthy for chips), 1 glass milk, half of a KitKat, chicken fajitas, Spanish rice, and 96 ounces of water.
Tuesday: 2 pancakes with syrup, 1/3 banana, 3 cups coffee, 3 chicken nuggets, cup of raw baby carrots, 7 or 8 tater tots, the other half of my KitKat, bowl of raw broccoli, handful of tortilla chips, a few pineapple chunks, spaghetti, green beans, 1/2 piece of garlic toast, 96 ounces of water, and a fruit smoothie
Wednesday: banana, 2 cups coffee, 1 hard boiled egg, 1/2 of a tomato (sliced up!), 2 pieces whole wheat toast with cherry preserves, 1/2 yogurt, some chips and salsa, small smoothie, handful of sunflower seeds, a chocolate pudding cup (gave it to my son... he wanted yogurt instead, lol), spaghetti, green beans, 1 1/2 pieces of garlic toast, 64 ounces of water, and some sleepy time tea with honey
Thursday: 2 cups coffee, 2 over-easy eggs, 2 biscuits w/ white gravy, banana, sunflower seeds (randomly through the day), 3 apple slices, tuna salad on whole wheat, a handful of grapes, 1/2 blackened chicken breast, serving of peas&carrots, cooked cauliflower, Rice-a-Roni cheesy rice, 1 cup of light yogurt, 96 ounces of water, and a cup of sleepy tea with honey
Friday: banana, 3 cups of coffee, bowl of cereal (it was more like 2 servings according to the box), grilled cheese on 7-grain bread, bowl of tomato soup, handful of Goldfish, 1 lowfat yogurt cup, a few sweet potato chips, a biscuit, sunflower seeds, chicken quesodilla from Buffalo Wild Wings (which, totally not impressed. The food was over-priced), and 64 ounces of water.
The scale will tell in the morning if I've done good this week. I guess we'll find out then. :)
I'm off to bed. It's already about that time. And Mini-Sarge has been waking up 2-3 times a night the last few days, and waking up for the day anywhere from 0545 to 0600. So, I'm definitely going to have to get up and get moving if I want to get anything done in the morning. Pray to the sleep gods for me. If he can make it to 0630, I'll be a happy camper. Anything before that is ridiculous. x.x
