Apologize For My MIA Status...

I know I have been MIA...I was sooo sick last week I could not bring myself to get on the computer. I did not work out at all last week due to being sick and not having the energy to do so. I woke up this morning and did not feel like getting up to go to the gym but I quickly changed my mind when I felt like a lard ass. I got up and went to the gym at 5:20am. I tell you what missing a week of workouts was like starting my first day in the gym. I felt very very weak and the weights seemed to be very heavy. I persevered through the discomfort and ran for 20 mins..15 mins level 4.2 and then the last 5 mins I took it up to level 5.0 which was grueling and pushed me to my limit for the day. Needless to say when I was done I felt great and it was a great start to my Monday.

My food intake for the day consisted of:
B- 3 slice turkey bacon, 1 slice double fiber wheat bread and 1 TBSP natural peanut butter.
S- 12 peanuts
L- 1 Healthy Choice chicken noodle soup & 1-pack 100 cal craisins
D- 1 Turkey & American cheese on Flatbread from Subway...I had lettuce, tomato, green bell pepper, onions and honey mustard. I ate 10 Light potato chips and all of my water for the day.

I woke up and did my weigh in and I am 211.6lbs. Last Monday I did not report my weight..it was 207.2...but I knew that was not accurate because I was sick and barely eating...so I decided not to use that weight....

I am leaving for my cruise on Saturday and trying to ensure I am at 210 before leaving. I am going to weigh myself on Saturday morning before we are off to the airport that way I have a number to keep in mind while i am on the cruise. I have mentally told myself that I am going to keep all the food in perspective on the cruise as I have heard that it is tons of food at your disposal 24 hrs a day. I am taking my workout close and have told myself I am committing to 1 workout every morning to keep on schedule with what I do each morning.

I am taking my laptop on the cruise so I will keep you update daily just so I can keep myself accountable....

I will check back in on Saturday before I leave so I can post my weight....

Wish me well at as I challenge myself to be responsible for what I decide to eat or not to eat while aboard the big ship....
