I had another light workout with my Dad on Friday morning followed by 17 min on the Wii - 10 min freestep, 5 min adv aerobics and 2 min balance.

The lifting with my Dad has been giving me an itch to lift some heavier weights so I went to the gym on Sat just to get in 10 sets with some slightly heavier weights for my chest and back.

I don't seem to have a great deal of variety in my diet but still keep looking to upgrade the foods I buy when shopping.

Friday Workout
Calf Raises BWx15, 20 reps
Ab Lounge Crunches BWx10, 21
Pulldowns 70x12, 15
upright rows 40x12, 12

Today was my first day eating on the GHF plan. It was a high-carb day. :)
I made pancakes for breakfast, actually I made enough to freeze for 3 more Sunday breakfasts. :) They were very yummy, and oh so full of protein. It took awhile to make them though - but if I only do it once a month (the labor intensive part) that'll be okay.

One thing I noticed today was that it felt like I was either making food, eating food, or thinking about my next meal. I also spent a bit of time inputting my menu plan on ProTrack (had to add a bunch of foods). It just seems like SO much food!

Before, I would normally have a box of raisins for a mid-morning snack at work. Something extremely easy to transport and no hassle to get ready. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to actually be MAKING something at work almost as soon as I walk in the door. I guess it's something I'll just have to get used to.

I haven't been doing as well as I should have and would have. I've been eating on the right track, though. I just finished my internship at the hospital. I was in the emergency room, so you can imagine how busy that was!

I made sure I'd eat a healthy, filling breakfast. I'd pack snack bads of carrots, cut up apples, and a banana to eat throughout the day. Sometimes I wouldn't get a lunch until an hour before my shift ended. So, I was prepared. For lunch I'd pack healthy. If I didn't find time to pack anything, I'd buy some fruits and veggies, with tea or water.

Anyway, the reason I've slacked on the working out was because when I'd get home I just couldn't think right or keep my eyes open. I did alright. I'd get up at 4:30am, be on my feet all day until I got home at around 4pm. My shoulders would tense up really bad the last hours of my shift. When I got home, I'd eat something light...unless I had a late lunch. I'd make sure I didn't have that "starving feeling". Then I'd fit in my workouts and cardio, and end up going to be later than I wanted. I found that I needed a lot more sleep to do my job at the hospital. On Thursday, I was in lala land. And that's not good, haha. So, later that night, I didn't log what I'd eaten, I didn't workout. I didn't workout Friday either. So, I decided to finish out the week. I had so much sleep to catch up on. It was silly of me to start to HUGE things in my life at the same time, until I was used to one or the other, ya know. Soon, this will be second nature. So, Monday I'm starting Phase 3, Week 2, Workout 1.
