workout:
LOL. Saw an ad for a free treadmill (NordicTrac EXP 1000) so I drove about 30 miles one way to pick it up w/ the pickup truck. Got back and UNLOADED it from the pickup truck all by myself and then up 4 stairs to get it into the house. I plug it in. It lights up and doesn't run!!! (ready to pull my hair out I'm so frustrated).

workout 2 unloading 210 lb of weight from the pickup truck

workout 3 (as workout 1 and 2 by themselves do not do me justice). Now mind you it's 12:30 am now and I must be up at 7:30, but have to workout - so let's see:

Deadlifts, stiff leg - total weight: 55 lb
1x12
1x12

Abs - crunches
1x60
1x50

Bent over row w/ barbell (total weight 55 lb)

Your food macros are looking good...keep up the good work and best of luck with all of your new equipment! I'll bet you are looking forward to lifting heavier!

Hey there iceprincess! Thank you for the reply!! Yes, the treadmill isn't working but it will be soon. I called the nordictrack company and they are sending a new console and a mechanic to install... FOR FREE!!! ;-) LOL!! Yes! Def looking forward to lifting heavy instead of doing all those sets!!

That is great...got to love things that are FREE!! Heavier weight and lower sets are definitely a PLUS and far LESS time consuming!

I am getting a membership to the gym too (although I'll have an almost full gym at home). A new gym opened up exactly 1 mile from me (geez I could walk there LOL) for $10/month and $49 start up fee. Will be good to get in there for some machines I don't have at home once a week like... For dips and pull ups (offset w/ weights as I can't do them by myself i don't think yet). Also for the high decline bench for abs and the smith machine for when I try to lift too heavy (I lift free weight at home - just using squat rack, no smith). Also will be good to go and show off how much I can lift once I get back to the high weights in about 6 wks. And also, it will be nice to get some interaction with PEOPLE. I work out of home now and well I don't see the public a lot, LOL.

Last night I ate more than the cals I wrote above. I was soooo hungry at about 11:30 pm that I had about 4 oz of blueberries, 2 teaspoons of cottage cheese w/ pineapple and 2 grapes. Puts me at high cals I know, but well I was starving!!! And I burned more energy yesterday than normal as I got up very early... So I guess it's ok.....

My dad just sent me some cookies (to arrive soon) from Poland. He took a trip there and he's now back in CT with the cookies! They are MY FAVORITE!!! Used to eat them all the time when I was a little girl w/ a super fast metabolism, LOL. So tell me, should I eat them all at once or just keep them in the fridge and drool over them?? I don't know the marcos on those cookies at all, but they must be bad (a lot of sugar!!!). I bet you one cookie could have 100 cals easily. I told Dad to send only 3 but I bet you he sent a whole box (about 100 cookies, NO JOKES). LOL.

12/15 THUR

Ate 50g apple in the morning w/ cinnamon and then started on some HIIT. 2 min warm up and then 4 min of HIIT (1 min on, 1 off for total of 4 min). I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but it felt like it. I broke a sweat.... ;-)

Good job on the gym membership - and yes - WALK!! lol

As for the cookies - if you can't resist them - give them away or toss them. Sad, but you gotta' do what you gotta' do to stay on track. NOW....if you can freeze them and stay out of them, you could do that too. Allow yourself a cheat day (one day a week) and eat ONE on your cheat day until they're gone. Consider it your "pat on the back" for staying so dedicated thru the week. Good luck!

 

[Afgrl]

I agree with Sgirl when it comes to the cookie issue......I personally would choose to freeze them and have ONE on cheat day like she said. That way you kinda have something to look forward to after a grueling week of hard workouts and clean dieting. One cookie won't "make or break" your diet. It may even help when it comes to self control, I know at first it was hard for me to resist stuff like that (w/4kids in the house.) But w/every passing day I find it becoming easier & easier. Keep at it, and you'll reach your goals faster than you think. Good luck!

LOL yesterday i did not go over cals. I put 54g "grapes" instead of 54g LOL! Big difference in numbers.... I was actually at about 1400 for the day. Wow! My bod is good - it knew I tried to eat too little! Amazing!!!
