Alright. It was another week of eating poorly for me, but I've (sort of) kept up with the exercise.
So that's two weeks of kind of effing things up on my part and undoing whatever progress i made.
but seeing as how it's sunday, and the beginning of the week, i'm not going to dwell. i did add on extra cardio to the workouts i did last week and will continue to do the same thing this week. and i'm back on track with the diet as of tonite.
Mainly what I plan on doing with food:
1. breakfast--2 egg whites 1 egg yolk fried or lightly scrambled, 1/2 grapefruit
1. nuts (almonds, walnuts) and fruits (apples, 1/2 grapefruit, grapes) as snacks throughout the day
2. lunch--Salad with home made balsamic vinaigrette (light on the oil), which includes sliced roasted chicken breast, dried cranberries, sliced pear, and slivered almonds.
3. at least 64 oz water per day
4. iced green tea for when i get the munchies. i make a big batch, stick it in a pitcher and keep it in the fridge.
5. iced mint tea for when i get a craving for diet soda. do the same as above
6. Dinner--more roasted chicken breast with a side of veg--roasted cauliflower, roasted broccoli, wilted watercress or spinach with garlic.
My resolution is to exercise at least 5 days this week with cardio and abs (remember, abs are the one muscle group you can work every day) each day, then alternating upper body and lower body workouts.
good luck to everyone! and thanks for the words of encouragement. ditto what mhray said -- i find everyone else's progress and struggles inspiring and the word of encouragement are, well, surprisingly encouraging!

You're right. It's a new week and a new opportunity to meet your goals. Good luck! Doing anything is better than doing nothing.
thanks a lot layla!
LTL-
I'm really proud of you for sticking with it! Even if the two weeks haven't been the greatest, you're getting right back to trying to eat better and workout more. With that kind of determination you're bound to stick with it :)
alright LTL! The worst thing you can do when you don't see progress is give up-- and that sounds like the OPPOSITE if what you're doing!
Your meals look great. If you find yourself not sticking to the meals that you've planned, would it help to have something quick and easy to make for lunch or dinner on hand as back-up if you have a busy day? I know that my worst eating days are days that I'm on the road for work or have work then school right after and have to make do.
good luck!
