This Week - Working Out/Eating Less 10/22 - 10/28

OK...here we go...

Monday - 30 minutes on the "Gazelle". I still don't know what that thingy is really called :)

Tuesday - Ran two miles w/ a couple of small breaks and then did resistance training on arms. Finished up with Abs

Wednesday - 30 minutes on the "sit-down" bike (I needed to get some reading done) & 20 minutes on the Elliptical machine

Thursday - Spin Class. We had a sub. She was GREAT!...I was really challenged. TR evening...walked to WalMart -30 minutes there and back.

Friday - 10 minutes on the bike to warm up. Resistance training on legs. 20 minutes of intense elliptical training (interval training). Basically I moved my level of resistance up a notch every minute. Every 5 minutes I would take it back down and start over again.

Eating...trying to ease into a candida cleanse. Didn't dive all the way in b/c I need more time to get acclimated and put the right things in my house. Basically Lo-Carb, No-Sugar, No-Meat (or minimize and make as lean/organic as possible)maxing out on the veggies & protein, kind of eating. Close to the concept in the Maker's Diet.

Monday

Breakfast - Boiled Eggs

Lunch - Salad (Romaine) w/ Tuna, Lettuce & Cucumbers

Dinner - Another Salad and a "taste" of what I cooked for everyone else...Beef Tips over Rice

Tuesday

Breakfast - Boiled Eggs

Lunch - Amy's Enchiladas (Organic Frozen Food)

Dinner - Lunch was soooooooo filling I didn't eat much at all. Fixed Rosemary Chicken for my family. Gracie fixed the roasted potatoes and I warmed up some canned (ugh) green beans. I ate some of my "raw" coleslaw and then nibbled on the dinner everyone else was eating :)

Wednesday

Breakfast - Oatmeal (no sugar, no butter...purely eating b/c I have to :)

Lunch - Garden Burger from Red Robin w/a Caesar Salad (dressing on the side). I have to admit I nibbled on about five fries.

Dinner - Went to our Harvest Festival - called Hallowed Be Thy Name - at my church in place of Halloween.

Thursday

Breakfast - Boiled Eggs...again

Lunch - About 1/3c of Beef Tips over Rice (didn't want to waste the leftover). Some of my "raw" cabbage, black beans and salsa. Sounds so boring but it was so good.

Dinner - a 6-inch Turkey subway sandwich.

Friday

Breakfast - one pancake w/real maple syrup

Lunch - I wasn't feeling well. Not sure if my body is reacting to the cleanse. I've heard that sometimes various cleanses will leave you feeling sick as your body HAS to deal with the toxins in your system. I'll have to research this.

Dinner - Went out to Cotton Patch Cafe. Ate a Caesar salad, then followed with an entre' of grilled salmon and steamed veggies.

Saturday (so far)

Breakfast - two scrambled eggs. Got donuts for my kids and ate two donut holes (so far)

Lunch - (Planned) Turkey Sandwich

Dinner - (Planned) Salad w/tuna
