Personal Training NYC -Client H

Gosh.. gee.. I just did a google search for  Silicone Based Lubricants.. boy do I feel naive.  I’ll bet those search engines will find my blogs now!  :-)

Well, I called bowflex support about the squeaky treadclimber. And as always, they knew exactly what was wrong and told me what to do.

Now.. you may think this is a pitch for Bowflex.. and I suppose it is, but buying my bowflex was the best investment I’ve ever made. The treadclimber (also made by Bowflex) was the second. Those guys have been absolutely great supporting truly superior products.

So.. now I need to find a silicone based lubricant.. hmmm..

This has been the worst week I’ve had since I started with Terri (of course, that’s only been 3 weeks.)

I had an early morning appointment on Monday, and although I considered doing my Monday workout on Sunday, I didn’t. Then Monday.. well, I just couldn’t get the motivation after work to do it. So, I figured I’d move my 4 day workout from Mon-Thur to Tue-Fri.

This morning I woke up to do my Monday workout.. I really didn’t want to get up. I must have spent 30 minutes arguing with myself. Eventually I won :-))) the Health-me won. I got up, scrambled a couple of eggs and started the workout.

Then… that darn Treadclimber! Sometimes it squeaks. I’m not sure what causes this, but one of my doggies is very sensitive to this sound. He has little mini seizures. It was a little worse this morning, but I tried to ignore him, thinking he’d go in the other side of the house and not hear it. Well, he disappeared and I continued to workout. Then, as I was about 50 minutes into the workout I decided I’d better check on him. I found him curled up in my bathroom walkin-closet. This by itself wasn’t too unusual, but my doggie #2, was sitting prim and proper at the doorway watching doggie #1. Now _that_ is unusual! Sooo.. I had to take some time and talk to the boys to figure out what was going on. Ten minutes later, I was able to coax doggie #1 into the back yard, but he insisted I stay near.

Anyway, I finished everything except the abs/crunches. I really hate that. I actually like the Abs best of all. I need call bowflex and ask them what causes the squeaking and what I can do to stop it.

Yesterdays meal’s were terrible. I skipped breakfast completely, ate some brownies, ate King Ranch casserole and 2 rolls for lunch, and leftover King Ranch for dinner.

I guess I need to go back to no sweets again. I’m just not ready to eat them responsibly yet.

Breakfast - 1 biscuit with peanut butter; Orange Juice.

Lunch - Chinese Food. It was a buffet, so I’m not sure what everything was, but the majority of it was shrimp, rice and long green beans. I did have one fried won-ton with cream cheese.

Dinner - 1/2 stuffed baked potato (left over from last night), about 4 ounces roasted chicken breast.

I also had a couple of brownies between lunch and dinner… I feel sooooooo relieved now that Terri told me there’s nothing wrong with a little chocolate every now and then. There is no way I can explain the weight off my back. BUT.. I do know I’ll need to pay attention to keep eating normal meals. In the past, I’ve eaten the sweets and skipped my meals. That’s cuz I’m too full to eat the sweets if I eat my meals first :)

But I’ll be careful, and my husband in very clear on my 3 meal objective. He’s always quick to say something if I veer off track.

Well, I walked the dogs and washed one load of clothes (I probably have about 5 more to do, but I’ll wait till tomorrow for that).

I never got much motivation to do much today. But I’ll try again tomorrow.  I just finished eating dinner and I’m totally stuffed.

For Breakfast today, I had 2 scrambled eggs and 2 biscuits (with butter).

Lunch was leftovers from last nights dinner. Roasted Chicken, beans and rice. But instead of the tortilla’s, I ate biscuits left over from breakfast.. um.. I actually ate *3*! :-/

Dinner - I had another sandwich like I had Thursday night, Turkey and cheese on a croissant, I also had 1/3 of a stuffed baked potato and some steamed cauliflower.

Gee.. I feel so full I could burst! Must be all that bread I ate today. Guess I should probably watch that a little closer.

Monday is going to be a tough day for me. I have an appointment at 7am, which is going to totally mess up my current workout routine. I’m not sure if it would be better for me to workout tomorrow (Sunday) or try to do Monday’s workout in the evening. I really really really hate working out in the evenings, but there is no way I can get up at 3:30am to workout and still make my 7am appt. Notice I didn’t give “not working out” as an option :)

I’m bored. It’s a lazy Saturday afternoon and I find myself thinking of cakes and cookies and chocolate. I already broke the rules and ate an apple an hour ago. I’m not sure if I’m hungry or just bored.

I ate a good lunch, so I really shouldn’t be hungry. But I still find myself trying to figure out what I’m going to eat tonight. <sigh>

Guess I really should walk the dogs and wash some clothes… but.. gee, I can’t really think of a legitimate excuse not to. Hmmm.. ok, I’ll go walk the dogs. Perhaps I’ll feel more energetic after a little fresh air. I’ll check back in later and give you my daily food report.

Breakfast - Egg and Cheese Omelet; 2 slices wheat toast with butter, 1 apple.

Lunch - An Oscar Meyer Lunchable (turkey, cheese and crackers); Lo-fat Banana Strawberry Smoothie with protein booster.

Dinner - Roasted Chicken; Rice & Beans; Tortilla; Apple.

I cannot believe I just spent 2 hours playing around with the blog themes. Then I wind up using the same theme I started with!!
