Worked from home today. Went to the gym with DH around noon, then
went out for lunch at a diner.
Food:
* 9:00 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices
melted f/f cheese & 5g grated parmesan
* 12:15 (during workout): banana
* 2:00 (diner w/ DH): 1/2 dinner roll w/ 1/2 pat butter; crab cake; 3
oz. green beans; 1/3 cup mashed potatoes w/ gravy {Ate about half of
what I was served: 1 of 2 crabcakes (brought one home), half the
mashed potatoes, 1/4 of the bread, all of the green beans.}
* 3:15 (home): snack size Peanut Butter Cup
* 7:00 (home): turkey burger on whole wheat English muffin w/ 2 slices
melted f/f cheese, dill pickle slices, and catsup
* 10:15 (home): 1 carton low fat, low carb peach yogurt {Breyer's
seems to be replacing their f/f yogurt with this, which actually has
fewer calories.}
Totals: 1357 calories, 48g fat (32%), 140g carbs (41%), 95g protein
(28%) {My calorie average is running low this week, despite a splurge
dinner Tuesday. I haven't felt inclined to eat much more, but I will
have another splurge occasion Sunday at my wine tasting group. I
think I'm into saving my calories for special opportunities :-) .}
Exercise:
12:00 -- Olympic lifting & cardio:
* Shoulder warmups
* 1 clean, 3 front squats, 3 jerks w/ 15kg/33lbs -- warmup
* Classic clean & jerk: 1x2x25/55; 3x2x30/66
* 5 overhead squats and 3 snatches w/ aerobics bar -- snatch warmup
* Power snatch: 1x2x15/33; 3x2x20/44
* Snatch pull: 1x2x25/55; 1x2x35/77; 3x2x40/88
* Crunches on decline bench holding 10 lb. plate on chest: 2x15
* Treadmill run: 15 minutes on hill program, level 5, 5.0 mph {I'd
never done this program before and wasn't sure what level 5 (on a
scale from 1-20) would turn out to be, but the max incline it reached
was 5%, so that may be what it means. Thought I should work on
running on hills some if I'm going to try to get into ourdoor running.
On the treadmill program there are no downhills, though :-) .}

I think this is a major key to successful weight loss and maintenance. If
we can't find a way to work the special occasions into our program then
we're going to fail at controlling the weight or else not enjoy those
special events. You've certainly shown us it can be done!

That's the one thing I miss when I have to use a treadmill is the downhill.
There is a different set of muscles and a skill to running downhill
properly.

Our treadmills actually have a little bit of downhill capability -- I
think to -2%. I've played with it a bit, but the hill program doesn't
make use of it. I'd like to have more, though, and to have a hill
program that matched the ups and downs more like real road running.
