Over the course of the last week, as I've been doing Week One of TurboFire, I've realized my knees are kidding me. This sometimes happens when I start back on a Chalene workout--she does a lot of lunges and kicks. Anyway, my knees are suffering and I felt like whining about it.
We also skiied in powder all day and that has put me totally over the edge.
Today I weighed in for the weight loss challenge I'm doing with some friends here--so I'm doing dual challenges now! I was very annoyed to discover that despite my attempts to maintain my slightly inflated post holiday weight for the weigh in, I was down two freaking pounds Darn it. Under any other circumstances, I would be doing back flips over losing 2 pounds in one week. That never happens to me. I even ate popcorn last night to see if I could be all bloated and water retain-y prior to weighing.
It didn't. And while I have 12 weeks to lose 10 lbs. or lose my $100, it's going to be really, really hard. Whiiiiine. Losing 10 lbs. now will actually take me 2 lbs. below my original goal weight. It's going to be really, really hard. Whiiiine.
Alas, I will suck it up and give it my very best. As the challenge officially begins tomorrow, I ate one last piece of Christmas cake (fruit cake soaked in whiskey) tonight and washed it down with a glass of milk.
And now, down to business.
I'm scared.
Today's workout:
-Core 20, Stretch 40. FYI: I have no core.
-Skiing. In powder. My knees...ohhhh, my knees...boooo hoooo....
Food
Breakfast: Two eggs, gluten free toast, grapefruit = 366.4
Lunch: 1 piece leftover pizza, 1/2 of a turkey rollup, baby carrots, hot chocolate = 536.3
Snack: Two cookies :) = 279.2
Dinner: Pot roast, mashed potatoes, corn
Snack: Fruit cake, milk = 438.6
Total calories = 2096.9 YIKES!
Calories burned: 2083. Hmmm, won't hit a 500 calorie deficit. I'll only end up with about 200.
My goals for this week:
1. Complete all scheduled TurboFire workouts
2. Maintain at least a 500 calorie deficit each day except Friday
3. Drink 64 oz. of water each day. This will be the hardest one....
Keep up the great work everyone!
