Anyway, I had a Personal Trainer (PT) tonight. He asked for my food and exercise logs for the past few weeks. I try to be super honest to myself on these logs just so I can see my food intake reality.
He said that my 2000 calorie meals consisting of chips, salsa, 20oz margaritas, and buffalo wings with ranch sauce will not be conducive to reaching my goals. Well DUH! In a month of exercising and trying to watch my food MOST of the time, I haven't lost a single pound. No significant change in how my clothes fit either. So disappointing. Onward.
So, my November goals are:
- no chips and salsa
- margaritas in moderation, no more than 2 drinks at a time
- no buffalo wings
- bye bye ranch sauce
- less red meat
- less processed and packaged crap, more fresh fruits and vegetables
- white rice, potatoes, and white pasta in serious moderation
- 20% fat, 50% carbs, and 30% protein as a guideline
- aim for 1500 calories a day, more or less depending on activity
- lift weights 2 to 3x a week, cardio 5x a week
- track my food intake every day
Bye bye:
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. God help me.
For my own record, tonight's workout:
15min precor warmup
Strength:
- circuit set of side skating with cones, then high step up lunges, then squats with 9 pound kettle ball shoulder lifts; repeat 3 times
- standing position lateral pull downs on machine with heels up, butt tight, and core engaged
- circuit set of 1-bent-legged stand with bicep curls while core engaged, then 1-bent-legged stand with shoulder press; repeat 3x
- circuit set of shoulder rows, then tricep extensions; repeat 2x
- ab work on bosu ball
Cardio: 30min on stationary bike.
Total time: 1:30
Calories burned: 700
Go D!

I am amused that your "Come to Jose" moment involved giving up chips and salsa. Surely, Jose would say si to that.
LOL @ WM. :)
I like that you are blogging more!
I agree with both WM and Kim. :)
I think I've told you this, but I'm one that unless I watch both food and exercise super closely I don't loose an ounce. :/ I'm sorry that we may be the same in that respect.
Awesome workout to start your post Jose phase!!
*sigh* I'm trying to do the same thing. More veggies. More sweating. More :(
Go D! Thank goodness Halloween is still in October, huh? Skittles Martinis, here we come! ;o)
But seriously, the fruits and veggies are a great goal. If you can get past the color and texture of the green smoothies, I really think they help a TON with getting the good stuff in.
good stuff stinky.
please don't tell me you're trying to lose weight. you'll disappear.
Have you tried Bethenny's Skinny Girl Margs? They're yummy!
I really love Bethenney's Skinny Girl Margaritas. I use tequila, lime juice, splash of triple sec. Sometimes I'll add some seltzer or soda water. Serendipite has said that lime, tequila, and Fresca works just great too!
I completely agree with what WM said :) So . . . if I consume 2000 calories of m&ms and skittles, it won't help me lose weight huh.
