Operation Sexy Bitch burns almost 5000 calories and goes to a BBQ- Day 30!! August 30th, 2009

Today was a good day.  Not my best nutritionally, but a good, balanced social life vs. healthy living type day.  Waking up with a horrible headache did not start the day off well.  I had been considering working out this morning, but that pretty much knixed that idea.  Instead I got up, made breakfast, watched True Blood from last week with my mom, and went back and took a nap.  HA HA!  Just about 45 minutes, but it was needed! 

Decided to weigh myself today, since it WAY day 30 and all, and I have lost another pound in a week!  I am amazed sometimes at how the body works…  I’m not at 3.5 lbs and as of last Measurement day, 13.5 inches lost.  I’m pretty happy about all my results and I definitely love having the energy that a good workout can give you!  I also love forcing myself to go when I don’t want to and then feeling ten times better when I’m done.  Last week there were a few days that I was just in a crappy mood, and spin class snapped me out of it.  It’s days like that when it’s just a good thing I am forming the habits to workout- cuz I assure you I wouldn’t have made it otherwise! 

My heartrate monitor gave me my week totals for WEEK 4!!  You ready for this??

11 hours and 17 minutes of exercise time for a total of- and I’m shocked at this – 4,939 calories!!!!!   HOLY CRAP!  I work out 5 days a week, so that’s almost 1000 calories a day!  NO CLUE how I got to this number and didn’t even realize it, but I’m EXCITED! 

The excitement is what carries me on to my friend’s place for a BBQ.  I know I’ll want to drink, and eat stuff that isn’t the best, so I’m trying to keep track of it all and remember that I worked my BUTT OFF last week and deserve some freedom- within reason.  I’d hate to throw it all up in the air on the last official day!!  HA HA!

I had 2 vodka sodas, and helped a friend out with his Crown and Coke (wuss couldn’t take it- LOL), and lots of water.  Overall, I’m feeling awesome about having gone to a BBQ and made it within my calorie range!  Now, the real truth here is that I probably didn’t stay in my calorie range.  When you go to places like BBQs with dips and all the sides, even though I know I monitored everything I actually ate on a plate, I’m sure I misjudged some on the chips side of things.  If I’d have put whatever I could eat on a plate, I’d have been able to gauge better, and I’ll try to remember that for next time. 

On to the GOALS!

Vitamins:  Just potassium and multi.
Water:  16 glasses.   Better than yesterday at least!
Alcohol: 2 vodka sodas, 1 ‘help’ of Crown and coke, and a glass of wine when I got home.
Workout: Off today.
Sleep:  I definitely got 9 hours last night!  So nice!

So today was a test in balance.  Not the best I can do, but I think I managed well considering I was out and about.  These are the things that kill us around the holidays.  I might as well start preparing now! 

Until tomorrow!!
