Legs felt tired. I walked across central park and did a few things:
-2 sets of 8 jump lunges with my back pack on (probably 10 lb.)
-2 sets of push ups with the back pack to the park bench
-2 sets bench crunches
I was planning to do the same things plus some pull ups in the other park in between the next 2 clients, but it felt so cold out that I went to the gym:
-just did 2 sets of jump lunges and dumbbell rows and standing cable rotations. I was tired so that is all I did.

Tue. 3.10.09
-home made fruit/yogurt parfait with non fat vanilla yogurt, mixed berries and Kashi cereal; about 250 calories – at 8:30
-medium soup at 2pm
-we went to see the Allman Brothers at night so before that:
-1 glass of wine with friends at 5:30
-1 beer with fish and chips at 6:30
-2 glasses wine at the concert
-I tiny bit of the cauliflower/carrot/cheese casserole at midnight.
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!
Wkt.
I had some cancellations so went to the gym early.
-did 30 min. on elliptical then took a Pilates band class. She used a band to make the exercises more challenging and it was-!

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.

Sat. 3.7.09
-on the way back from the gym I bought a big red grapefruit and ate that at 10:15am
-ate the leftover tuna/scallion/jalapeno/mayo-probably 2/3 of a cup, plus 1 hard boiled egg -10:45
-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!!

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!
-had a great piece of bread with it too.
-had some low fat popcorn-about 300 calories worth
-3 glasses wine
Wkt.
60 min. on stepmill at just under 600 cal/hour
