Quiet Grace’s Blog

I haven’t touched this blog since mid-March. After some negative comments based on the writings here in I stopped blogging. That was a mistake. I am going to start doing it again for the accountability. For the record:

*I  am not this anal and meticulus about numbers with anything except this blog. I think it is important to have a record of the numbers if I am going to reach my goals.

*If you have questions, ask. Please don’t assume.

*I have set goals. Some of them are realistic. Some of them are not. I will sort that out.

So with the reset comes new goals. I would like to lose between 70-85 pounds by March 6, 2011. I don’t know how possible it is but I am willing to work toward it. Stay tuned!

This week will be a bit ambitious. I plan to get a big chunk of the merchandise for an upcoming event done this week. There is a bunch to do but I think it is workable. It is grocery shopping day as well tomorrow. It will be good to have fresh veggies in the house again. With any luck we will find what we are looking for.

Should be a good week.

So I flew in from Toronto yesterday afternoon. I had a good trip but my weight loss to one hell of a hit. I am going to have to work my butt of for it to do any good and get back to where I was.

I might try for some strength training this afternoon, we will see how I am feeling.

Made it up this morning, got the workout in and now am doing food prep for the week. I have the nuts dry roasting in the oven, will make cheese in a little while and am getting the rest of the weeks plan together. I haven’t made protein donuts in a while and am going to try it again this afternoon.

Workout 1 stats:  30:16 minutes,  7.0 miles on the bike resistance level 2,  411.1 calories

So the reality of me not crawling out of bed until 8 am is just that, reality. I want to get up earlier but clearly not enough to go to bed earlier than my partner. So I will have to figure that out. In the meantime this week starts the two workouts a day thing. Now that my back, neck and shoulder are back in place I feel like I can do two a days starting tomorrow.

I made the second batch of yogurt up today. That gives us both a calcium rich mini meal. Now I just have to remember to take care of it tonight. Ok, off to grab a post workout snack and see what happens from there.

I purchased a new scale several weeks ago. It has been in the closet staring at me for a while now. I set it up this morning. After struggling to find the right units and getting the whole damned thing set up, I stepped on it. According to it I am five pounds heavier. It will be a good thing in the long run and I will be happy with it but it still sucked this morning. This scale also shows muscle mass, body fat percentage and BMI. I really hate that last one. I look forward to seeing that sucker dropping.
