-walked around Montreal in the pouring rain, and had one beer

-3 glasses of wine

No wkt. but walked around for about 2.5 hours
Fri. 4.3.09
Ok so my wt. didn’t stay at 140 very long….crap!

-went to Whole Foods after the wkt., before my workshop. Got a big salad:
-greens; raw veggies, tofu, beans, salmon/pasta salad; probably 3 cups total. Ate 1/3 of it before the workshop at noon.
-ate the rest of it at 2:15pm
-bought a bag of baked Kettle brand chips. They were good; I ate less than one serving but I think I am losing my taste for chips…is that possible??
-one apple

-3 glasses wine

Thur. 4.2.09
140.0 on the scale---yippie!!! That is so great. Obviously eating pizza several nights in a row is the key to losing weight!!!
-oatmeal/mixed nuts with tea at 8:15
-brought some of the fish from last night so munched on that through the morning; probably 1 serving total.
-1 apple
-1 non fat yogurt at 1pm
-met Scott at the end of the day; had 2 bud lights
-went home and made delicious tuna quesadillas: tuna, sautéed onions and scallions (tons of them!), loads of greens and just a little cheese and drop of mayo. I ate one tortilla made into 1 quesadilla.
-2 glasses wine

No official wkt. Felt tired, but walked a bit between clients and on the way home.
Wed. 4.1.09
Weight is back to 141.3!! So now I need to make this the highest weight.
-brought a yogurt parfait from home; with Kashi cereal, non-fat vanilla yogurt and berries-delicious; 8am; with tea
-a few mixed nuts at 10:15
-small minestrone soup at 11:30
-grapes during the whole morning
-pan fried some Ling fish caught by my dad; a little flour and lots of spices; ate 2 small pieces of that. We are going out for pizza (I know, there is a trend the last few days) tonite so I need to be good.

Wkt.
-was thinking I would come home and run, but I felt tired and sore so I went to the gym.
-did really well; on the treadmill, I did 10 intervals:
-walking at 11% incline; 3.0mph; then did 1 min. intervals of 5.5mph at the same incline; with abot 1.5-2 min. rest inbetween. That was great!

Tue. 3.31.09
-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.

Sun. 3.29.09
After the gym I ate some leftover potato chips, and 3 pieces of cheese wrapped in greens
-worked at home all day and then we went out to meet friends
-shared fried vegetables dumplings with Scott (I swear this trend is going to end soon!)
-came home and ordered Chinese food: ate stir fried tofu, 3 spring rolls and a small amt. of veggie fried rice. Wow! This is how I used to eat more often!

Wkt.
-35 min. hard elliptical and then a pilates class; but the class was a lot of stretching and mobility stuff; great, but I was hoping for more of a fitness challenge.
