Notes: Today was clean and good. Right on and I felt very proud of myself. I need to be prepared for the rest of the week though because this time of the challenge is usually my breaking point. I will not fail!
Nutrition:
1. 9A egg mixture, oatmeal, PN... 10:30A same as planned

Training:
UBWO
Planned Time- 7:14-8A
Actual Time- 8:37-9:12A

Day 9
5.20.08
Motivational Quotes:
"Recognize that the feeling of not wanting to do something is actually an opportunity to exercise your inner strength." BP
"You have the power to change, and no one can take that away!" BP
"Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do it (the challenge). You can. It's up to you. Decide to do it, and then follow through." Porter Freeman
5 Goals for a successful day:
1- No snacking... success!
2- Watch at least 10 minutes of Body of Work... setback
3- Enlist and give support on BFL tracker website... success!
4- Put new music on MP3... setback
5- Envision goals... success!
Notes: Another great day. I really wasn't into my running when I got started but as I kept going and realizing how much easier (it's still hard) it's becoming I started feeling really good about it and was even able to really believe that I can do this half-marathon in January. That's been the hardest part- making that mental connection... really believing in myself. But it's definitely getting better. A good day with 3 stars!
Nutrition:
1. 10A egg mixture, Kellogg's All Bran Strawberry Medley Cereal, PN... same as planned
2. 12P leftover salad... same as planned
3. 2P PP Bar... 2:30P same as planned

5. 6P Asian Beef Stir-Fry (EFL #83)... 6:30P same as planned
6. 8P CC RTD... 8:30P same as planned
Water- 105oz H2O
Notes: Completely by the books. I wasn't too crazy about the protein bar and I think I'll be changing that meal back to egg whites and fruit and only using the bars when I'm in a major crunch. Too chalky and chewy. And dinner was good but I couldn't finish it all. I need to probably do better at making sure my portions aren't too big for my dinner meal.
Training:
HIIT Running
Planned Time- 8:40-9A
Actual Time- 8:45-9:05A
Distance- 1.41 miles
Minutes Ran- 10
Highest Speed- 5.8
Notes: So like I said, I really wasn't wanting to do this but I didn't think and dwell about it and I just got up, went to the gym and got on the treadmill. I ran an extra minute today and upped my speed so that was good progress. I also noticed that I looked at the time a lot less today too and really felt more in shape and able to handle the running. It's happening- my goals are being recognized and will come to pass very soon!

Training:
LBWO
Planned Time- 7:18-8A
Actual Time- 8:35-9:15A
Quads- leg extentions highest weight 75 with super set of leg press at 180
Hamstrings- leg curls highest weight 60 with super set of lunges at 24
Calves- one legged calf raise highest weight 30 wiht super set of calf presses at 100
Abs- flutters 3 sets of 25 seconds, ball crunches 3 sets of 25 reps
Notes: Sa-weet! My calves were still sore from last week and I'm sure they're gonna be sore again. The one-legged calf raises are killer. And my abs were burning! I'm gonna feel that tomorrow and I love it. Need to concentrate on a bigger burn and better form for hamstrings. Great workout though all in all.

Notes: Wahoo!! I can totally see and feel a major difference. I feel so great about the pounds lost as well as the 3 inches off my waist. I feel like that's where I've lost the most and can see the biggest difference- especially in the back picture. My confidence is great which is something I haven't felt in a long time. I feel more energized and ready to conquer this challenge and to be fit and healthy the rest of my life. I turned my 3rd cheat meal into more of a cheat meals and I snacked a little too much with handfuls here and there of Baily's snacks, but other than that I think I did awesome! Great first week- I feel like I really set a strong foundation for this challenge. Bring on week 2!

I do hate the way I look when I run. Gotta get better about that.

Minutes Ran- 9
Highest Speed- 5.5
Notes: This was a nice run. I dreaded doing it but I got my booty up and went and it felt good. I really feel like my endurance it starting to kick up and I don't feel like I'm gonna die and pass out while I'm running. It's tough and really hard but I actually feel more able and strong. I do hate the way I look when I run. Gotta get better about that.
