Day 60

Tomorrow will officially be 2 months! Time for a celebration! Or at the very least, a pat on the back. I'm thinking I should maybe weigh myself sometime in the next few days just to give myself a 2-month checkpoint kind of thing. I weighed myself early last week and was at 180 (which makes my total loss 11 lbs) but I would like to get into the 170s already! It's been about 2 years since I have been in the 170s and it would be great to bust through that barrier! Fingers crossed, I did really well today! I stuck with my food plan and worked out TWICE! I first went down to bellmar and Rob trained me for a half hour...trained me HARD! I was really suffering by the last time around...I did a series of exercises and when I ran through them all he had me do them again. And again. And again, and again. 4x total. My legs were jello and my face was tomato red. But I felt great afterward at least because I know I really pushed myself and gave my all :-)...later on I headed to spin class, it was a REALLY tough one (usually Monday night isn't as tough) but she definitely whooped our asses and I challenged myself as well.

Here is what I ate today:

Breakfast:

-1 TJ's trail mix bar
*I actually think the trail mix bar wasn't enough after the workout...I need more after I work out...mental note.
-Coffee with 2 tbsp fat free half & half and 1 sweet & low

Lunch:

-Chicken Parm (pesto-marinated chicken breast, 1/4c fat free mozzarella & 1/4c fresh tomato sauce)
-6 asparagus spears

*It actually wasn't that good. I'm not really good at the whole "shelf-life" thing and I have had that chicken breast marinating in the fridge for 2 weeks i think...it looked great but tasted gross and I think I missed totally cooking it through by THIS MUCH. I won't be surprised if I end up with salmonella or something. My bad.

Snack:

-1 raspberry greek yogurt with 1/4c of granola cereal mixed in
*It's ALL about the texture

Dinner:

-Chicken Stir fry (1 chicken breast, 1c veggies, 1 tbsp stir fry sauce)
*So I notice that if I cook the stir fry sauce into my mixture, it kind of burns off and disappears...but if I add it in AFTERWARD it is noticeable! I will be doing the latter from now on...

Snack:

-TJ's frozen chocolate-covered banana slices
*Good but SO COLD ON MY TEETH! ow.

Water:

-(2) 23oz bottles

Exercise:

-Crossfit: 30 min
-Spin: 1 hour

Feeling great, smile on my face, I have a family party in a couple weeks and would love to get a cute (inexpensive) dress to wear! I feel really good about myself and I haven't even lost THAT much yet! I feel like every day is sunshine (even if it isn't)...probably the one biggest reason I can never give up eating and working out like this is all the positive vibes...I haven't felt this awesome in a really long time :-)
