May 17 - Monday

OK, I'm boarding a plane Wednesday, May 26th, so technically, today is the 10-day point. Since I'm STILL at 230 (argh), I've decided to go full liquid for 10 days. I'll be sure to post here b/c I know it's going to be tough.

My last minute plan:

Breakfast/snacks: Protein shakes and protein smoothies (made in the blender with protein powder, water, and fruits like bananas, peaches, and strawberries)

Lunch/Dinner: liquid soup (like tomato or chicken broth) or another protein shake

1 gallon of water daily
2 OEP daily
continue 2x daily workouts, totaling 120 minutes/day (approximately)

We shall see :)

TODAY:

6:30: took one OEP, Slim in 6 Burn it Up (60 minutes)

8:00: protein/fruit smoothie (about 150-200 cals)

11:00: protein shake - 100 cals

1:00: can tomato soup (low sodium) - 225 cals

2:35: protein shake - 100 cals

4:15: protein shake - 150 cals (I made it thicker)

5:30: 3.5 miles elliptical (50 minutes) + abs (10 min)

8:00: protein shake - 150 cals

calories: 925 (give or take)
water: 1 full gallon (128 oz)

Surprisingly, I had ZERO cravings today. Maybe because I made sure to space out my protein shakes? I was never hungry or thought about wanting to eat. Or maybe I'm just uber motivated now that I'm down to the last minute. hmmmm.....

Day 40 - TEN DAYS LEFT!!!

welp, I lost the period pounds, finally. Back at 231. I feel like I'm losing the SAME 6 pounds over a nd over!!! ugh!!! But I do know that my body is changing and shrinking more and more. I can get my skinny jeans up, now all I gotta do is get them zipped. I know I can do it....

Tuesday: pm: Tone it Up (60 minutes)
Wednesday: nada :(

My last am workout was MONDAY. I overslept pretty much every day this week. I now have TEN days left and am getting desperate!! I'm formulating a diet/workout plan to go hardcore for the next ten days. We'll see how many pounds/inches i can shed before I get on that plane!!

Day 35 - May 9th

No weigh in, no workout (worked another double), and PLENTY of crappy food. Mickey D's for breakfast, chinese food for lunch, and pizza for dinner.

This could only mean one thing: Mother Nature is here. all week. :/

No weigh-ins for the next 5 days. I'm so close to the 220s that if I step on a scale and I see the water weight that I KNOW I've gained, I'll get very discouraged. I'll just stick to my plan religiously all this week and look forward to weighing in on Friday ;)

Day 34 - My 8th

am weight: 230.6 (I see you, 229. I'll be there in a jiffy)!

Day 30 - May 4

Confession: I haven't worked out at all in 7 days. Yes, since last Tuesday :(

To top it off, I went to Louisville for the weekend to hit up some Derby parties, so everything I ingested was either BBQ/cookout food, restaurant food (I ate at both Chili's and O'Charley's) or party hors d'oeuvres.

Result: I'm back up to 236.6......but I'm staying positive! I'm back on my routine this morning, and already completed a full 60-minute workout (Slim Series Tone it Up) first thing this morning.

Starting today thru the end of the month, my plan is as follows:

am: 60 minute workout (either Tone it Up or Burn it Up...both workouts have cardio/resistance)

pm: 4-6 miles on the elliptical at the gym, then come home and either do a 10-minute abs tape or 15 minute Stretch tape.

Diet: No more "obvious" carbs. By obvious I mean bread, crackers, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc.....I'll still be getting in carbs and fiber by eating fruit and green veggies. For the most part my daily diet will consist of protein shakes, fruit, lean meat, and green vegetables. I have NO more time to play around. Oh yeah, also a gallon of water everyday without fail, and more consistency with the OEP (1-2 pills am, 1 pill pm)
