There are good days and bad days. Say hello to a bad day....
I guess I still have a long way to go after all. :( Some jerk asked if I wanted to try a food sample after he said "you look hungry...must be eating for two..." WTF??? My stomach is always the LAST thing that goes down when slimming/exercising. :( Ugh! I just want to hide.

Yes, I'm back!
Yesterday's workout was a doozy!
I always...always begin with 20 minute HIIT cardio on the elliptical. Why? My gym becomes crowded after a certain time and if I finish my strength training, there is a chance I won't be able to get on the equipment. I get it done and out of my way. I do not feel fatigued to the point where I can't do my training. In fact, I feel pumped and ready to go!
Chest press
Huggy Bear
High and Low Rope Pulls
Biceps (Barbell Curls)
Biceps (Dumbbell Curls)
4 sets each with 10 to 15 reps each at varying weights. I was impressed I could do a barbell curl with each arm using a 20lb. weight! Yes, I grunted and yes, the guys were looking at us. Sweet!
After, I did a few reps using an ab machine. WOW! I felt it right after!
Eating was great.
Breakfast, Snacks and Lunch were the usual fare and dinner was the buffet. Now before you comment, I ate smart this time. Protein such as lean ham and chicken, chopped egg with spinach, peas, shredded parm cheese, drizzle of low-cal dressing, carrots and green beans. Not a huge plate by any means. Just enough for me.
'Today's Workout:
Cardio and abs with weights for flexibility.
Eats:
Breakfast: Low-carb pita, Laughing cow creamy Swiss wedge cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of hummus, 3 turkey slices
Snack: 1/2 apple, 5 oz. of plain non-fat yogurt with cinnamon
Lunch: Grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, 3T of balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Snack: Banana, 6 almonds
Dinner: 2 fried eggs, 2 slices of ham, grapes for desert.
I feel good!

Today's Eats - May 20, 2011
I was starving during lunch! I think all that cardio and weight training caught up with me. I ate a 14-16 point meal for sure!!
Today's Menu is looking like this now:
Breakfast: Low-carb pita, laughing cow cheese wedge, teaspoon of hummus, 3 turkey slices (5 Points)
Snack: 1/2 apple, yogurt (2 Points)
Lunch: Whole wheat wrap, stuffed with ham, swiss cheese and lettuce with mustard
(I'm guesstimating 14-16 points)

Oh! I guess I am okay! I thought I was way over my dpt today! I do have activity points that I never used up this week. I deserved a good lunch this week, but I know it is important to plan and prepare ALL my meals to avoid pitfalls.

It is a learning experience!
My trainer said I should not bother posting a dinner plan anywhere if I keep changing it at the last minute even if it's on plan or not. It confused her when I said after my protein drink last night, all I was hungry for was 4oz. of baked chicken breast and a handful of mixed greens. Once again, I did not eat enough points.I'll post my dinner plan after from now on.
I don't know what to say. There are days when I have no desire to eat, others I will bounce way over the 29 and into the 49 with little to no thought.
What was suggested and highly recommended was to stay within the same routine for the weekend.
Wake at the same time.
Prepare food to place into cooler.
Eat at same times if possible.
Remember to take supplements.
My body will begin to adapt and I will see the results!

Kimkins Ordered to Pay $2 Million
KIMKINS ORDERED TO PAY $2 MILLION JUDGMENT
Posted on 5/13/2011
Riverside Superior Court has ordered Heidi “Kimmer” Diaz, owner of Kimkins, to pay $1,824,210 in damages as restitution to those who paid subscription fees to her diet plan and participated in a class action lawsuit against her company in October 2007. The court also awarded punitive damages of $500,000.
Diaz started a website in 2006, on which she posted photos of herself before and after she lost 189 pounds using the Kimkins diet. She offered permanent weight loss, without exercise, and a lifetime membership.
The lawsuit alleged that Diaz never lost weight, but remained at 300 pounds, having posted a false “after” photo. She's also alleged to have posted 41 false testimonials and pictures, the pictures obtained from a Russian mail-order bride website, to promote her website.
Plaintiffs say they suffered such health damages as loss of hair, arrhythmia, nausea, confusion, loss of lean muscle tissue, and more, after they used the diet plan.
Information in the Better Business Bureau's file on this company is that the lifetime membership costs $59.95 and entitles the subscriber to diet food lists, sample menus, a recipe library, support forums, an online personal journal, and direct access to Kimmer. We've received four complaints about Kimkins, none more recent than July 2009. One complainant felt “sick all the time” she was on the diet, but she and another complain because they never received the refund they requested after they learned about the Kimkins fraud. The other two complain because they were locked out of the website after paying for a lifetime subscription.
Kimkins was and is rated “F” by us.
The judgment against Kimkins also ordered payment of attorneys' fees, still to be determined, and injunctive orders.

And it begins...again!
The other night, my trainer and I took a nice little walk over to the Vitamin Shoppe and looked around for some supplements I need for my workouts. Along with the multi-vitamin I already take, she suggested these:
Caffeine
Green Tea Extract
BCAA's
She suggested I consume carbs such as oatmeal and low-carb pita bread in the morning and at lunch. And make sure I eat fruit, vegetable and protein with every meal. At dinner, a salad with vegetables, fruit and protein will do my body good. I need to keep away from foods that contain high amounts of sodium such as olives and hard cheese.
I must remember to eat during the day! And prepare all my meals and snacks ahead of time and most especially on the weekends. She is happy I am on WW PP since it is very flexible and can be tweaked at any time.
My workout plan: 5 days a week with one day of a fun activity. One day completely off. (20 minutes of cardio.) - 3 days a week of strength training.
Mondays: Chest/Back
Tuesdays: Cardio and Abs Only
Wednesdays: Shoulders/Arms
Thursday: Cardio and Abs Only
Friday: Fun activity
Saturdays: Legs
Sunday: Rest
This starts next Monday. We'll see what happens. I'm finishing out my week with doing what I do at the gym right now and staying within my dpt with WW.
