ding ding, dinner time!

January 31, 2011

Hey all. Basketball practice went great. The girls were a little un-focused but I think they’ll be okay tomorrow at Alisal High.

On the way to practice I was hungry from a little workout so I had a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks.

I did weight work and I road our stationary bike.

  • biceps: 2 reps of 15 with a 5 pound weight
  • triceps: 2 reps of 15 with a 5 pound weight
  • arm raises: 3 reps of 15 with a 5 pound weight
  • rows: 2 reps of 15 with a 5 pound weight
  • flys: 1 rep of 15 with a 5 pound weight
  • shoulder raises: 1 rep of 15 with a 5 pound weight
  • crunches: 1 rep of 20 with a 5 pound weight and 1 rep of 30 with no weight

Then I road the stationary bike with a resistance level at 6 for 15 minutes.

Dinner

I had a heaping bowl of steamed broccoli with a scant 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce and a sprinkle parmesan cheese. I also had a bowl of leftover vegetable barley soup, which can apparently be found at Costco. It’s very good, look for it the next time your there!

Such a filling dinner. And all for around 400 calories. Hope you had a great day. Smile

Fitbook Day Recap

I’m tracking my calories and meals in my Fitbook. It’s a great tool for food journaling to lose weight. It has spaces for each meal and snack (up to 6 in a day) and a whole page devoted to working out. You can track reps for weights and plyometric. There’s space for cardio and stretching exercises.

The Fitbook has pages for 12 weeks, to ideally you need 4 a year. There is a spaces to track personal stats for weight and fitness at the beginning and a place to write down goals for the end of 12 weeks. Then each week there’s a page to mark where your at and to set mini goals for the week. I really like the concept of mini goals.

My total today was 1500 calories. Open-mouthed smile

Oh you’ll love it. I found them when Shape Magazine did a little write up on them. I always use them when I’m counting calories or training for something specific.

That fitbook sounds like a great idea! I think it would probably help me to get better motivation!
