Food:
pbj for breakfast
salad for lunch
greek yogurt and granola for snack
pbj pre practice

Ummm... yeah... better day but not yet talkative.

TBT: Day 7

granola and greek yogurt
salad
brown rice and spaghetti squash

exercise off day

not doing so great today.  tomorrow will be better.

TBT: Day 6

The boring stuff

Food

greek yogurt and granola for breakfast
4 pbj's about every 2 hours throughout the day
one of sunny's granola/protein bars of fantastic yummy awesomeness (Menace gave me one cause she's fantastic) and a muscle milk post practice
1/2 pho for dinner
3 (yes I spurlged a little) dark chocolate squares
tea and water to drink

Exercise

2 hr Die practice, 1 hr Mean@$$ practice.  Did 40/100 in the pace line (personal best), and I made it through all the sprints.  Slowly and surely, getting better.  More slow than sure, but hey, I am the derby turtle.  I WILL get there.

The fun stuff

General Notes

The pbjs throughout the day seemed to work pretty well.  Though I've got my cauliflower catastrophe (lesson learned: add yogurt at the very end, not when stuff still needs to cook) still sitting in my fridge that I need to eat at some point.  It's not inedible, it's just not terribly appealing.  Guess I should try to figure out how to revitalize it and make it appetizing.  Ideas?

TBT: Day 5

The boring stuff

Food

Eggs for breakfast
muscle milk and two granola bars post practice
1/2 pho for lunch
brown rice, mushrooms and spinach for dinner
3 chocolate squares
tea and water to drink

Exercise

3 period scrimmage.  There were a LOT of people there, so it wasn't as intense as I would have liked.  But I did have the star for a full two minute jam (I was lead jammer, and those were the 10 damn hardest points of my life), and I did have some interesting blocks (block to the outside facing the wrong way, then turn and sprint, beat her to the apex, and make another hit on the same person facing the correct way).  So all in all, a good practice.

The fun stuff

General Notes

I think it's the protein.  When I get protein, I don't get hungry as quickly.  I think I'm going to stash myself some pbj's for snacks tomorrow.

TBT: Day 4

The boring stuff

Food

OFF DAY!!!!!!!
cereal for breakfast
muscle milk post practice
pizza (it was glorious) for lunch
crackers, too much guacamole, and a little bit of cheese ball for dinner
water, tea, beer, ginger beer, and baileys to drink

Exercise

3 period scrimmage, with lots of back to back jams

The fun stuff

General Thoughts

Didn't think much about food today except for "I need to remember I put this in my mouth."  Had pretty decent energy levels all day.  I think my issue is a matter of calorie density.  Oh well, keep on tweaking my menu and see what happens.

Oh, and I noticed that Monday is a Die practice.  *wimper*  Can I pre-emptively run and hide?

TBT: Day 3

The boring stuff

Food

pbj for breakfast
other 1/2 of the pho for first lunch
brown rice, mushrooms and spinach for second lunch
2 granola bars for snacks
chipotle chicken fajita burrito (and it killed me not to get cheese or sour cream)
chocolate square for dessert
milk, tea, and water to drink

Exercise

Today is an off day.  I'm starting off with just derby stuff since I took so much of December off.  I'll step up 2/days Jan 21st, and then six days a week Feb 4th.  Two weeks between stepping shit up, hopefully that's enough.

General Notes

I think about food a lot, but it's more "holy crap, how can I be hungry already?".  I did better today about eating when hungry.  I'm pretty good about getting protein breakfast and dinner.  I need to work on that throughout the day.

The fun stuff 

I wore a unitard today.  It was just as awful as you could expect.

TBT: Day 2

The boring stuff

Food: scrambled eggs for breakfast
granola bar for a snack
spring roll, side salad, and 1/2 of pho for lunch
muscle milk and granola bar after practice
cauliflower, yogurt, and brown rice for dinner
dark chocolate square for dessert
water, milk and tea to drink

Exercise: 2 hr practice with lots of endurance and foot work.

General notes: doing better today in terms of eating enough. Still was a little hungry before practice, so I think I'll try a Pbj around 4 next time.

TBT: Day 1

The boring stuff

Sleep: 9.5 hours.  I slept in.

Food:  Peanut butter and whole wheat bread for breakfast
mushrooms and spinach, mandarin oranges, and a kashi granola bar for lunch
muscle milk and kashi granola bar after practice for dinner
water, milk and ice tea to drink

Workout: Nona practice!  I did my 50 laps kindof slow, but I held my form pretty well for it.  Bounced my head on the ground, and strangely I feel it most in my neck.

The fun stuff

(And by fun I mean it took me 5 minutes of "relax, don't suck it in, just be" to take even one of these photos.  This here is the very example of bravery.)

 
Waist: 41 in
Hips: 50 in
Bust: 46 in

General notes: I don't think I ate enough today, cause I was noticeably hungry before practice.  Now I'm about ready to crash, and normally I'm not tired till close to midnight.  But hey, I went grocery shopping and now have a fridge full of fresh veggies to make wonderful things out of.

I think I'll do photos and measurements every 30 days (so Feb 2, Mar 2, Apr 2) to have a few more data points to how this is going.  And I will NOT step on a scale.  Screw that infernal contraption.

And the word was "WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?"

So here's the start of my 90 day Total Body Transformation (well I guess it's tomorrow since tonight I'm writing this and enjoying some Baileys).

One of the things I learned from work is being S.M.A.R.T. with goal writing (yes, my job can actually be applicable to the rest of my life).  Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Time-bound.  So going forward with that:

Goal: I want to be able to juke past blockers on my third and fourth hard fought pass through the pack when I'm jamming.
Current state: I'm normally so spent by this point all I have is "don't stop skating" and "keep moving forward".
Action plan: Increase agility, strength, and endurance.  Use UFC Trainer, Your Shape Fitness Evolved, and Biggest Loser Extreme Workout on my Xbox (yes, I'm a nerd), as well as Monday/Wednesday/Thursday practices.

Goal: Be more productive throughout the afternoon at work.
Current state: After lunch, I'm in a slump.  I lack the energy to stay well focused.
Action plan: Eat well and eat correctly.  Focus on food that will fuel and nourish my body through the day.  Feed myself for better mental performance.  Join a CSA.

I'm hoping I can trick myself into sticking with this by tying the big picture things (work out consistently, eat healthier) to the nitty gritty shit that impacts my daily life.  So here's to 2013 and starting it off with a new adventure.
