A 30-minute warmup on the Elliptical followed by an immediate turn into the tough abs stretching exercises; I suppose I should type out what those are one day. No rest for the wicked, I turned right into the weights, closed with a few stretches, and called it a day. - Elliptical (30 minutes) - Abs Stretching - Single Leg Press :: 3 reps of 10 - Inner Thigh machine :: 3 reps of 10 - Single Leg Hamstring Curl :: 3 reps of 10 - One-Arm Row :: 3 reps of 10 - Cable Lateral Raises :: 2 reps of 10 - Push-Ups :: 2 reps of 10 - Hammer... 2945@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-31T09:26:40-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002944.shtml 01: Eggs (2), Rye Toast (2), Cooking Spray, Granola, Vanilla Yogourt, Coffee (16oz) 02: Mixed Nuts (1/3 Cup) 03: Baby Spinach (1 Cup), Blackened Chicken (3oz), Celery (2), Radish (1), Apple (1/4), Mozzarella Cheese (1 oz), Olive Oil (1 tsp), Vinegar (1 tsp), Dijon Mustard (1 tsp), Maple Syrup (1/4 tsp) 04: Nature's Path Organic Hot Oatmeal (400g) 05: Mandarin Buffet: Read Nutrition Diary 06: WORKOUT DIARY Unfortunately with it being a full day at work followed by a long drive to Barrie (about two hours from work) there was no time to get a workout in - looks like I'm punishing myself on Wednesday. NUTRITION DIARY So challenges have mounted throughout week one - from the take-out dinner with friends to the family dinner cooked by my grandmother. Perhaps nothing offers a bigger stumbling block than the family deciding we're going to Mandarin Buffet for my sister's birthday. That said, if you ignore the "I'm going to get my money's worth" mentality a buffet can actually offer a great opportunity to eat plentifully and healthy. I did end up eating more food than I needed, and left quite full, but I was selective. I got a plate of assorted... 2944@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-30T13:30:07-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002943.shtml 01: Eggs (2), Rye Toast (2), Cooking Spray, Granola, Vanilla Yogourt, Coffee (16oz) 02: Mixed Nuts (1/3 Cup) 03: Chicken Shwarma (Whole Wheat Wrap, Lettuce, Parsley, Turnip, 1 tsp Garlic Sauce) 04: Nature's Path Organic Hot Oatmeal (400g) 06: Sweet'n'Salty Chocolate Almond Bar 05: Beef Stew (Carrots, Potatoes, Corn) WORKOUT DIARY Similar to the regular workout. It's important to note that my right knee is not reacting well to the new workout regime, and a change will need to be made. I was diagnosed as a child as having no cartilidge in both knees, somewhat rare, and basically means my patella bone grinds against my knee cap. The Single Leg Press is the big culprit. I'm going to lower my weight significantly this week and see if it helps, or stop doing it altogether. - Stationary Bicycle (15 minutes) - Rowing Machine (10 minutes) - Single Leg Press :: 3 reps of 10 - Inner Thigh machine :: 3 reps of 10 - Single Leg Hamstring Curl :: 3 reps of 10 - One-Arm Row :: 2 reps of 10 - Cable Lateral Raises :: 2 reps of 10 - Push-Ups :: 2 reps of 10 - Hammer Curls ::... 2943@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-30T13:27:59-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002942.shtml 01: Eggs (2), Rye Toast (2), Cooking Spray, Granola, Vanilla Yogourt 02: Chocolate Rice Milk (1 Cup) 03: Granola and Vanilla Yogourt 04: Roasted Pork (8oz), Glazed Carrots (8), Baked Hamburger (4oz), Biscuit (1) WORKOUT DIARY Day off, and I need it. The knee is acting up. NUTRITION DIARY Aha, a family gathering at Grandma's; always a difficult time to be a healthy eater. My grandmother has never met a vegetable she didn't want to coat in fat or sugar, and today was no different - my choice was a green bean casserole or baby carrots in maple syrup. Cheese and cream are far worse to eat and work off than sugar, so I went with a bit of carrots. The rest of my meal - save for a single biscuit (she makes them for me and if I don't have one it's somewhat of an insult) - was protein. A bit much of it, of course, but it was fairly lean and filling. I passed on dessert, which was apple pie or banana pineapple cake.... 2942@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-30T13:22:07-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002941.shtml 01: Eggs (2), Rye Toast (2), Cooking Spray, Granola, Vanilla Yogourt, Coffee (32oz) 02: Chocolate Rice Milk (1 Cup) 03: Feta and Spinach Omelette 04: Granola and Vanilla Yogourt 05: Blackened Chicken Drumsticks (2), Broccoli (1 Cup) WORKOUT DIARY A solid 6km run in the rain today, and I felt good doing it. I kept a great pace and never truly felt like stopping, which is a good sign. I've noticed on the day after I drink my full 3L of water I always feel better on the workout portion of my day. NUTRITION DIARY It was a lazy day at home, lots of relaxing in front of the TV and computer, which I honestly feel is needed from time-to-time. Too often the temptation on a day like this is to resort to non-stop munching, and on junk nonetheless, but I managed to stave that off with intelligent meals at appointed times.... 2941@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-30T13:18:23-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002939.shtml 2939@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-26T13:07:04-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002937.shtml 2937@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-25T13:51:41-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002936.shtml 2936@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-24T09:09:21-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002933.shtml 2933@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2007-10-22T12:37:39-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002418.shtml DAILY TOTALS 0 calories 0g fat 0g carbohydrates 0g protein 0g dietary fiber 0g sugar 0mg sodium 01: Eggs (2), Egg Whites (50 ml), Rye Toast (1), Grapefruit Juice (250ml), Yogourt (113 g) 02: Espresso Shot (2), 1% Milk (250ml) 03: 04: 05: 06: WORKOUT DIARY NUTRITION DIARY... 2418@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2005-12-13T11:16:25-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002417.shtml DAILY TOTALS 0 calories 0g fat 0g carbohydrates 0g protein 0g dietary fiber 0g sugar 0mg sodium... 2417@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2005-12-13T10:37:53-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002416.shtml Sorry for not maintaining the site here - I had intentions of catching up this weekend, but instead I present this interesting story. I'd managed to do quite well according to plan last week, maintaining near 2,000 calories and lowering my sodium and sugar levels as much as possible. I had lost near five pounds by Friday, likely due to the combination of shocking the system and drastically reducing my caloric intake. Unfortunately, my body fought back on Saturday. I woke to extreme discomfort in my stomach, and a perpetual need to vomit. I wasn't actually throwing up - I rarely do - but the feeling was there. Long story short, I couldn't stop eating all weekend. I managed to stick to plan as far as the quality of food I took in, keeping lean meats, lots of veggies, proteins, and trying to get liquids down. An interesting result, though. This week, back on the plan, with an intention to raise calories a bit, but in an attempt to stick with more of the lean proteins and quailty calories, rather than the empty ones found in processed foods and such.... 2416@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2005-12-13T10:34:47-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002406.shtml DAILY TOTALS 0 calories 0g fat 0g carbohydrates 0g protein 0g dietary fiber 0g sugar 0mg sodium * stats are way off..... 2406@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2005-12-07T15:21:24-05:00 http://www.overanything.com/health/archives/002405.shtml DAILY TOTALS 585 calories 19g fat 64g carbohydrates 37g protein 5g dietary fiber 28g sugar 1594mg sodium * stats are way off..... 2405@http://www.overanything.com/health/ 2005-12-06T11:35:28-05:00
