Sat. 3.28.09
After the gym had oatmeal and mixed nuts. I was visiting my parents so my mom always cooks such good stuff!
We had lima bean soup-delicious; plus these home made German/Hungarian donuts that are like the zepolli things you get at fairs. They bring back great memories so I didn’t want to tell her I didn’t want them…! I ate 2 bowls of soup and 3 of the donuts.
-plus one beer
-got home and had a huge veggie quesadilla with tons of onions, peppers, greens, cheese and potato chips (this was not a great weekend!)

I don’t like to have an empty stomach on planes in case of bumpy air and it was bumpy!!

Wed. 3.25.09
Going to Atlanta to speak at the ACSM conference in Atlanta, so was thinking ahead. I have not been to the Delta terminal at Laguardia airport in quite awhile, so I was trying to remember what the food choices were. I was thinking I should get a sandwich before I go, but had 3 clients in a row and was wondering how I would do that. My first client was at 9am so went to a supermarket but the tuna in the deli looked old.
-oatmeal with mixed nuts/tea at 8:15am.
My second client said she had to leave 10 min. early so that was my answer! I walked to one of those gourmet delis and got a tuna sandwich on rye, with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, cucumbers, peppers.

Sat. 3.21.09
I wanted to go for a long run so didn’t want to eat before that, but felt pretty hungry, so ate 2 bites of cold pizza.
-after the run at 11:15 I ate scrambled eggs: 2 whites, 1 yolk, with onions and cheese.

Fri. 3.20.09
-oatmeal/mixed nuts and tea at 7am
-I was teaching a workshop after seeing 2 morning clients. So I got a bag of pretzels, thinking that would be instead of more nuts. Who knows? So I had a few of them; not more than 150 calories—at 10am
-ate a handful of blackberries before the workshop at 10:45am

No wkt.
Thur. 3.19.09
-back in NY after getting home past midnight.
-brought a little nut/bread roll from home and ate that on the way into the city at 7:45am
-I was tired and felt a craving for a bagel…I went to one of the delis that sell those flat bagels which have all the insides scooped out but they were out of the everything option. So then I saw Cosi’s and went there and had an everything bagel with cream cheese. It seemed lighter than a traditional bagel but am not sure. The cream cheese tasted almost whipped but maybe I am kidding myself. It sure was good! Too much partying the last 2 days; I think that gets me tired and then lowers my resistance to temptation. But it was good! I promised myself that I would definitely workout as I at first was considering not to, as I felt so sore from that workout on wed. in CA.
-medium crab/tomato soup from Hale and Hearty; about 250 calories or even less according to the labels on the bins.
-came home and was hungry, so ate 1 small piece of swiss cheese with arugula
-still hungry so ate one veggie burger with melted American cheese
-after night client ate another veggie burger with melted American cheese, with grilled onions, raw cucumbers, raw peppers and arugula/with salsa dressing. Delicious!
-1 glass of wine---count it! ONE glass; extremely proud of myself!



Wkt.
-so after eating the excess bread I went to the gym, felt tired but of course after awhile you feel ok. I tell clients and trainers this: make a deal with yourself. If you don’t feel like doing it after 15 min. you can stop. I have to say, in the last 25 years, there are not very many times where I just said “ok I am stopping”; rarely does that happen! But the brain works in mysterious ways!
So I did 60 min. cardio; was thinking maybe I could do more, but then said no and did some errands.

A word about the fish and chips. There were 4 pieces of fish. So after eating 3, I thought about stopping, and then of course its all you can think about-that you want the last piece. So I thought about all the times I don’t take another helping, and 30 min. later I am not even thinking about it anymore. So I asked Scott if he wanted it, and he did so that took care of that! Of course I wasn’t feeling hungry or deprived awhile later, just like always. Only ate half the fries as they weren’t that great. Very good!

Sun. 3.8.09
Measurements and pictures!!
I can definitely see that I am leaner (I hope you can too!!)
-at smallest part of midsection: 28 ¼, down from 29 ¼ !!! That is great.
-at navel, 30 ½ down from 31 ½ ---super!!!
-wt. is 140.8-holy crap. Down from 143.7 on jan. 31st. That day was less than one month from the beginning, and so this is closer to 5 weeks from the last measurements. I am really proud of myself!!!

Some thoughts relative to the month coming up---month #3 out of 6. I was thinking this week that I need to change my wkts. and include the boxing, and the Pilates classes because they get more core so well. I also am going to drink less wine, thinking when at home I could have less.
I ate more egg whites the last 2-3 weeks. Also ate some more bread which felt good. I have GOT to stay away from the cauliflower/bean mixture!

-ate one hard boiled egg white, after I cooked a dozen for the week.
-spent a lot of time just chilling out and napping on the couch, so didn’t eat much. We went for a walk and then stopped for a beer and ordered jalapeno poppers huge mistake! They were not that good, so I ate 2 and Scott ate 4-thankfully!
-came home and made a delicious tuna boat!
-one loaf Italian bread, cut in half and all of the insides pulled out.
-we used one total side, and then ¾ of the other side
-3 small cans tuna
-roasted onions
-3-4 tablespoons mayo
-swiss and American cheese.
They are like tuna melts but in this form. So I ate 1/3 of the entire amt. and Scott had the rest. A lot of calories but didn’t eat much else. Had 2 slices swiss cheese as we were cooking.
-we also bough sun chips (R. turned me on to them in San Diego last week. I never ate them as I figured they were not that good-boy was I wrong!). I only had a small handful though.
-big salad with arugula, cucumbers and red pepper; light ranch/salsa dressing.

No wkt. Scott and I took a walk down to Red Hook, and along the pier. Probably 2 miles.

Sunday, March 8, 2009

Sat. 3.7.09
-on the way back from the gym I bought a big red grapefruit and ate that at 10:15am

-caesar salad with grilled calamari-half portion at about 3pm
-one beer
-one veggie burger with melted American cheese on top of a big arugula salad, with cucumber and red pepper; light ranch/salsa dressing
-3 glasses wine
Great story: I was walking around Manhattan for a few hours this afternoon; so nice not to be teaching and have no agenda for the day. In Soho, there was this little store front (just a window really), where these women were selling tiny cupcakes. There was a line, so that attracted my attention. The cupcakes were about the size of a quarter (I kid you not!), and stuffed with different things, so they were about ¾ of one inch tall. So I figured I would get 3 (the smallest amount you could buy)-for $3. Unbelievable huh? By the time I got to the window, and really looked at them and thought about whether I really wanted them for that price, I just walked away. How about that??!! See, I wasn’t craving the chocolate at all, so I respected that and didn’t get any.

Wkt.
-ran about 40 minutes on the way to the gym. I couldn’t decide what to do-run, or do a yoga or boot camp class or some combination. What I did know was that I wanted to go into Manhattan because it was gorgeous and warm out!
-I was up early so figured I would run and make the Pilates class at 9am. The class was great. It is so cool how the rest of the day I “felt” my abs being pulled in and tight and it felt great!!

Saturday, March 7, 2009

Fri. 3.6.09
-Starbucks oatmeal with nuts at 7am
-went to Whole Foods after workout and before my workshop and figured I would buy some food for later and for the day
-mixed greens, spinach with different veggies, pasta/salmon salad, tofu, beans, croutons, dressing. I thought it would last me the day but didn’t. I
Ate some of it before my workshop, then the rest on break!
-ate a delicious tuna melt at night: skinny French bread, tuna, scallions, jalapenos, mayo with the inside of the bread pulled out. I ate ¼ of the bread.

Thursday, March 5, 2009

Wed. 3.4.09
That cauliflower/bean casserole really screwed me up! Of course I didn’t have to confirm that by eating it 3 times-!!!
I couldn’t decide what I wanted; so got some yogurt/granola and fruit at one of those gourmet delis. It was too much yogurt.
-small minestrone soup
-bought some salmon to have for dinner
-pan seared the salmon and had a big salad with it. It was delicious!

Wkt.
60 min. on stepmill at just under 600 cal/hour
Tue. 3.3.09
-Oatmeal with mixed nuts
-tea with 2 bags
-I was early for my first client (I tell personal trainers that it is easy to be on time; you just have to plan to be early-!) So I went into Zaybar’s on the upper west side and walked around. They have great food and I was thinking I was going from client to client and then working out, and then meeting a friend for a show so decided to buy grilled tofu and carrots/veggies.
-I ate that pretty quickly after that! Not a big serving; probably 8 pieces of tofu and veggies
-1 apple
-met a friend before the show
-2 beers
-jalapeno poppers (I love those things but most of the time they are disappointing, and these were not so hot)

Wkt
60 min. cardio

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Mon. 3.2.09
-back to the Starbucks oatmeal please! With mixed nuts.
-tea with 2 bags-at 8 am
-small barley veggie soup at 11
-small roasted veggie soup at 1pm
-I bought a payday bar at the airport leaving NY on fri. I have been thinking; those nuts I munch on are so high in calories! A payday bar is only 250 calories and they are good! Ok, so I took a few bites of that throughout the day and finished it.
-1 apple 2pm
-we still had one of the casserole dishes with the cauliflower and the intense bean/onion/cheese mixture in the freezer from last week. I wasn’t sure that it caused all the bloated/gas symptoms so I figured what the hell, I would try it again!!
-we had that with a salad/veggies and a taste test of 4 different veggie burgers.
-we tried Dr. Praegers, Morningstar, Boca burger, and Garden burger brands. The Praeger’s was the most like a vegan burger (that was the name of it-!); so it tasted the most like a simple soy burger; the rest were more veggie like; less protein. I like the more veggie ones better. I ate a total of less than 2 burgers total.
-but guess what? Not long after eating, I felt that bloating and thickness in my guts, and this morning felt very soft and bloated. Too many of those white beans with the cauliflower? Maybe it’s the beans with it; before we only made that dish with veggies and not beans.
-3 glasses wine

Wkt.
I had a cancellation in the morning (which I sort of anticipated because of the snow storm and schools were closed) so I went to the gym.
-did a metabolic workout because I didn’t have clothes change for pure sweat/cardio routine

-lateral lunges with diagonal reaches
-dead lifts with rows
-squats and overhead presses
-curtsey lunges with lateral raises

Went for a run in the morning. My legs felt tired from the wkt. the day before. Did 45 min. around the bay in San Diego; so freaking nice there!
Sat. 2.28.09
Went to San Diego to film stuff content for ptonthenet.com’s new certification program; they are such a great group for educating personal trainers!
-ate a cheese/veggie wrap at 9am with small bag of potato chips (have not done the chips for a long time!) Traveling can be challenging with eating and drinking and I haven’t been gone for work for a long time in terms of air travel, so this will be interesting!
-tiny airplane bag of cashews at 11
-nothing until 7pm local time (10pm eastern time) -my stomach felt a little weird since all those beans the other night and the crappy creamy oatmeal the other morning…..!
-sun chips (I never really tried them thinking they were too cracker like-boy were they good!); I ate probably 1-2 servings.
-3 slices thin crust pizza -3 glasses wine

6 of us went to the beach in san diego and did a great workout with this new piece of equipment developed by Michol Dalcourt called VIPR; it was a metabolic wkt.; lots of squats and lunges with upper body moves, with this rubber tube-like device that gets your upper body and core really well. Did 2 rounds of 4 exercises; then one more round of different exercises. Then played a miserable game of touch football (never played before in my life!!) using Rugby rules; what a blast that was!
