Yogurt parfait. I felt bloated from eating more food and more protein. I have always felt my body doesn’t react well to a lot of protein, but the experiment is interesting. Going to go back to less food today (ugh-don’t know!).
-celery with crunchy peanut butter; about 1.5 tablespoon peanut butter and about 3 full pieces of celery
-about one cup asparagus/zucchini and one veggie burger
-1 apple
-small handful mixed nuts
-big salad with stir fried tempe; not a huge portion, but good sized.
-2 glasses wine
Wkt.
-rode my bike again; and that gets my legs so tired! Its anywhere from 7-9 miles one way depending on where I go first; and then can add a few more miles depending on how many more clients I have for the day. Today I got probably 22 miles total.
-outside, did 6 sets of 8-10 reps/basically to failure:
-bench crunches where my head is below the bench and you curl up; legs are swung over the backrest of the bench
-leg lowering; below the level of the bench
-3 sets of steep step ups but legs were tired

Went to Alma’s; a great Mexican restaurant with unbelievable views of the city:
-chips and salsa
-one margarita
-shared fish tacos
-halibut with rice
-some cheesy rice
-2 beers
Wkt.
I was feeling so tired from the week and all the teaching this week, plus I kept waking up in the middle of the night a lot. So I didn’t feel like running but wanted to try. Its amazing; I promised myself that I could stop after 15 min. (just like I have done hundreds of times in the past) and wouldn’t you know it, I went 75 min.!!! Slow, but I did it. It was so beautiful out today!!! Very proud of myself! Then I came back and just chilled out on the couch and the front stoop!

Wkt.
Had a little time between several clients, so in the morning before the first one, I did:
-4 sets of jump squats with my backpack that weighed 22lbs. (I checked!); alternating with push ups against a short wall with the back pack as well. Tried to do deep push ups; 8-10 each set of 4.
-then after a couple of hours and the last client before my workshop (which is why I was carrying the heavy back pack);
-3 more sets of the same, except for the push ups, I did single arm negative as much as possible, i.e. trying to use just one arm as much as possible on the way down, and then pushing back up with both arms….very challenging!
-at the gym before my workshop, I did:
-2 sets of leg lowering, with holding at the bottom.
-with the wheel; 10 rollouts to the side and middle
-single arm rear delts with dumbbells; 12lb.; 10 to each side; 8 reps or to failure.

I decided to go into town with Scott and we shared fish and chips from this small tiny place on the street and it was really good! The batter was light and the fish delicious. I didn’t eat many chips as I don’t like them when they are big and not crispy.
-then we shared a salad that was not that good.
-there was a big dinner at the hotel
-lots of veggies, and a huge salad, some pasta. The fish was already gone.
-had a big piece of chocolate pudding cake-wow!
-several glasses of wine and several beers as we stayed there and talked with everyone until about 1am.
Started on the elliptical, but then didn’t want to take too much time as I wanted to hang out with Scott.

-had a big salad for lunch, with some cheese and veggies
-then before my talk I had a bag of chips and a chocolate bar, can of diet coke----ok, there weren’t any other choices but I should have planed better.
-met a friend of ours that now lives in England and we went into town, had one small beer at a few different pubs, and then found a great restaurant and had dinner:
-3 glasses wine
-small salad
-salmon with veggies-really good!
Ran outside for one hour-very proud of myself for keeping up with the workouts. Then went to the gym and did 3 exercises with cable/heavy weight; standing chops, single arm presses/rotation and horizontal rows.
I feel those standing single arm exercises are important; need to get organized and make a plan for the remainder of my time.

Thur. 4.9.09
It’s time for measurements and pictures but I am going to be late with the pictures. Scott and I have been traveling so it might take another week. The results are not that great in terms of measurements:
Wt. 140.1, down from 140.8 one month ago. I have my period so I guess this might mean something….?
Smallest part of midsection; 28.5; I had 28 ¼ one month ago.
Navel; 30.5-same as one month ago.
Mm of skinfold at the biggest spot on my midsection; 23; down from 27 at the end of jan., so that is good but I can’t believe I didn’t do this one in feb. or march.
-yogurt, Kashi cereal and berries at home at 9am
-I brought the leftover bag of baked Kettle chips since I was going to FL to work. I had a few of them at 11am; then 1 apple
-at the airport I had one beer (haven’t had much of that lately!)
-got a to-go plate of food at the JetBlue terminal-really nice!
-lots of greens, with different veggies, and lots of black beans. I ate that between sitting there and as soon as I got on the plane.
-some cashews.
-2 glasses of wine
-I got to the hotel late and there was nothing to be had so I finished the chips (probably ate a total of 250 calories of them today); and a MARS bar-remember them? I got it in Montreal last week and started eating it…only 120 calories for the whole thing! So anyway, that was dinner.
It is so weird. I flew to FL to teach a workshop and when I got to the hotel I felt so flat and lean, it was unbelievable!!
Wkt.
-went for a run in Brooklyn but felt really tired from cycling yesterday that I did 45 min. and went back home.
It’s time for measurements and pictures but I am going to be late with the pictures. Scott and I have been traveling so it might take another week. The results are not that great in terms of measurements:
Wt. 140.1, down from 140.8 one month ago. I have my period so I guess this might mean something….?
Smallest part of midsection; 28.5; I had 28 ¼ one month ago.
Navel; 30.5-same as one month ago.
Mm of skinfold at the biggest spot on my midsection; 23; down from 27 at the end of jan., so that is good but I can’t believe I didn’t do this one in feb. or march.
-yogurt, Kashi cereal and berries at home at 9am
-I brought the leftover bag of baked Kettle chips since I was going to FL to work. I had a few of them at 11am; then 1 apple
-at the airport I had one beer (haven’t had much of that lately!)
-got a to-go plate of food at the JetBlue terminal-really nice!
-lots of greens, with different veggies, and lots of black beans. I ate that between sitting there and as soon as I got on the plane.
-some cashews.
-2 glasses of wine
-I got to the hotel late and there was nothing to be had so I finished the chips (probably ate a total of 250 calories of them today); and a MARS bar-remember them? I got it in Montreal last week and started eating it…only 120 calories for the whole thing! So anyway, that was dinner.
It is so weird. I flew to FL to teach a workshop and when I got to the hotel I felt so flat and lean, it was unbelievable!!

-2 glasses wine
No official wkt. Felt tired, but walked a bit between clients and on the way home.

-Yogurt parfait from Starbucks at 8am
-at 10am I got a small container of crab salad-good!
--got a 2 pieces of Chilean sea bass and ate that between 11:30 and 2pm-really good!
-1 apple
-had 2 clients later in the day; so when I got home I had 1 piece of pizza in halves, plus a small piece of spinach roll-good day!
-2 glasses of wine
Wkt.
-didn’t feel like doing straight cardio. I had some extra time before one client so I did jump lunges with my backpack on (probably weighed 10-15lb). I did 7 sets of 8 jumps on each leg—that was hard and felt great!
-went to the gym a little later and did some weights;-kettle bell stuff: swinging it around the body for core challenge
-single arm swings (not sure of the terminology); where you hinge at the hip, bring the bell up and over so you catch it in your hand-up over your body.
-did 3 sets of heavy dumbbell rows, horizontal rows, overhead presses
-went to the mat and took a heavy med ball, put it between thighs and did leg lowering with knees bent-2 sets of 15
-just held a crunch position with the med ball in the same spot; about 20 sec.
-one set of side planks/bridges; 1 min. They are hard
-did slow tricep push ups; mainly negative as I can’t go down very far and push up; so did 2 sets of 8 negatives.
-2 sets of leg lowering; then holding. That was a great wkt!
Also walked around the city a lot between clients.

Mon. 3.30.09
My weight was 142.3; not good. My goal to be under 140 did not happen last week. I feel bloated and soft—ugh! I have to stick to the plan and then some!
-oatmeal with nuts and tea at 7am
-small cranberry nut roll between 8 and 10am
-small amt of tuna salad that made me feel weird after; sometimes I feel like I am allergic to stuff; I feel sort of flu-like and then it goes away.
-1 apple
-went to a party for the Brooklyn Greenway at 6pm. Met Scott before that and had one beer-Sweet Action from the brewery in Red Hook-delicious!
-at the party I had 4 pieces of sushi, and about 8 chips with hummus.
-2 drinks
-on the way home we got several kinds of pizza and 2 spinach rolls. I had one slice of vodka pizza, eaten in halves, then a small piece of spinach roll.
-1 glass of wine
Wkt.
Went to the gym but felt tired and burned out; did a few core exercises and then hit the showers.
