KILLER ABS & LEGS WORKOUT JOURNAL
(2 MONTH PLAN)
DAY 1: SUN 3/29
WORKOUT___60 MIN WALK/JOG TREADMILL (3 MILES/-500 CALS)
COMMENTS: AFTER A BAD BINGE YESTERDAY, I MADE MYSELF GO LONGER TODAY. I EVEN WORE A 16-POUND BACKPACK (FILLED W/BOOKS) FOR 15 MIN. OF IT. SO, I’M OFF TO A TOUGH START, BUT I DID HAVE THE ENERGY TO GET THROUGH IT. TOMORROW, I’M SCHEDULED TO LIFT WEIGHTS. OH & BTW, DOING 100 CRUNCHES–SUCKS! I MEAN IT. DONE PROPERLY, THOSE DARN THINGS ARE TOUGH.
E.T.A.-I SUCCESSFULLY ATE LIGHT TODAY, THOUGH (LESS THAN 1200).
DAY 2: MON 3/30
WORKOUT___WALKED AN HOUR ON THE TRACK AT WORK & THEN DID A SHORT WALK WHEN I GOT HOME (W/DK & DOG).
COMMENTS:I’M TIRED–MY LEGS ARE SO TIRED SO I’M NOT GOING TO DO WEIGHTS TONIGHT. I CAN’T DWELL ON IT, BUT EATING ALL THAT CRAP SATURDAY WAS REALLY A STUPID MOVE–I’M STILL PAYING FOR IT.
BUT I HAVE TO LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I ATE OK TODAY-STAYED AROUND 1300.
DAY 3:TUES 3/31
WORKOUT__WALK/JOGGED 30 MIN ON TREADMILL (270 CAL)/100 CRUNCHES/50 PUSHUPS
COMMENTS: MY LEGS DEFINITELY FELT BETTER TODAY SO I THINK IT WAS A GOOD CALL TO NOT LIFT YESTERDAY. STUCK TO AROUND 1300 TODAY (ATE A SPOONFUL OF PEANUT BUTTER). TOMORROW AT 3:30 IS WEIGH-IN. I’M GOING TO TRY TO NOT EAT AFTER 11 AM–EVEN THOUGH THE DAMAGE MAY ALREADY HAVE BEEN DONE (SATURDAY). OH, WELL–WHATEVER THE OUTCOME, I’M BACK ON TRACK AND FEEL PRETTY GOOD. 
ALSO, I’VE BEEN WORKING OUT FOR A MONTH AND HAVEN’T SMOKED FOR A MONTH.
DAY 4: WED 4/1
WORKOUT__WALKED 1 HOUR ON TRACK
COMMENTS: SO I WEIGHED 139.6–SO I GAINED .6! NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AFTER SATURDAY’S JUNK, BUT NOT REALLY GOOD NEWS, EITHER. I LOVE THE ENERGY THE SHOT GIVES ME. I LOVE NOT SMOKING ANYMORE. I LOVE EXERCISING REGULARLY.
BUT I DON’T REALLY LOVE THE DOC’S DIET & I DON’T DO IT AS SERIOUSLY AS I SHOULD AND THAAAAAAT’S WHY I HAVEN’T LOST. MY DAD IS DOING AMAZING, THOUGH! HE IS SO DEDICATED & SO IS MOM! I’M REALLY PROUD OF THEM BOTH!
ONE OF MY KIDS GAVE ME A BUNCH OF JEANS THAT ARE TOO BIG FOR HER NOW. WELL, IF I’M GONNA FIT INTO THOSE JEANS, I’VE GOT TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM!
ATE AROUND 1100 TODAY.
DAY 5: THUR 4/2
WORKOUT___JOG/WALKED 23 MINUTES ON TREADMILL (MOSTLY JOG)/100 CRUNCHES, 40 PUSHUPS/WALKED 1 HOUR ON THE TRACK
COMMENTS:I CAN SEE IT! I CAN SEE A 1-PACK ON MY STOMACH!! YAY, LOL! NOT STAYING SO MUCH WITHIN 1300 TODAY–BUT I SURE GOT MY EXERCISE IN.
DAY 6: FRI 4/3
WORKOUT___WALKED ABOUT 50 MINUTES ON TRACK TODAY & THEN TOOK A STROLL W/FAM AFTER WORK. 100 CRUNCHES/50 PUSHUPS
COMMENTS:DIDN’T LIFT WEIGHTS. NOT SURE WHY I’M NOT DOING THAT. FELT OK, BUT GOT IN A SPAT W/DH & FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WEEKS, I WOULD REAAAAALLY LOVE A CIG. BUT I WON’T DO THAT.
DAY 7: SAT 4/4
WORKOUT___JOG/WALKED 32 MIN ON TREADMILL. 100 CRUNCHES/50 PUSHUPS. WALKED AROUND BLOCK W/FAM IN AFTERNOON.
COMMENTS: IF I DIDN’T WORK OUT ON A DAY, I’D FEEL ABNORMAL. THAT’S WHERE I’M AT NOW. HOWEVER, I DO THINK MY LEGS NEED SOME REST NOW & THEN. WE WENT TO AUBURN & HAD A GREAT TIME–I ATE NONFAT YOGURT INSTEAD OF ICE-CREAM, SO GO ME! I HAD SORT OF A FREE DAY, BUT I WASN’T TOO BAD WITH IT. MIGHT START KEEPING A FOOD LOG AGAIN, THOUGH. I GOT A PILATES VID THAT I THOUGHT I’D TRY TOMORROW.
I HAVE DEFINITELY NOTICED MY ABS STARTING TO SHAPE UP–BUT THERE’S STILL A LAYER OF FAT OVER THEM & THAT WON’T GO AWAY UNTIL I GET STRICT ABOUT FOOD (WHICH I’M NOT READY TO DO YET).
DAY 8:SUN 4/5
WORKOUT___100 CRUNCHES/50 PUSHUPS
COMMENTS:THAT’S RIGHT–I DIDN’T DO THE CARDIO. I WAS WORN SLAP OUT. ATE TOO MUCH JUNK, TOO. SO THERE.
DAY 9: MON 4/6
WORKOUT___WALKED 2 MILES-35 MINUTES
COMMENTS:FASTING A BIT TODAY W/CHICKEN SOUP/HAD UPSET TUMMY THIS AFTERNOON. GLAD I HAVE SOME TIME OFF TOMORROW.
DAY 10: TUES 4/7/09
WORKOUT___NO WORKOUT TODAY. HAD TO WORK & GO TO AUBURN FOR AN APPT.
COMMENTS: FEEL OK. WEIGHED 143 AT DOC W/BOOTS & CLOTHES ON. BOUGHT SOME SHIRATAKI NOODLES THAT WERE AWESOME.
DAY 11: WED 4/8/09
WORKOUT____WALKED AROUND CEMETERY FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER DINNER.
COMMENTS: JUST FELT KINDA TIRED & DOWN. DIDN’T GET MY SHOT TODAY. HAD TO GO TO VISIT. FOR SOMEONE WHO DIED (SAD).
DAY 12: THUR 4/9/09
WORKOUT___WALKED AROUND CEMETERY W/DK FOR ABOUT 16 MINUTES.
COMMENTS: AGAIN, FELT DOWN. WENT TO A FUNERAL. BUT AM JUST BLASE ABOUT EVERYTHING. EATING TOO MUCH JUNK, TOO.
DAY 13: FRI 4/10/09
WORKOUT___WALKED A MILE AT WORK.
COMMENTS: FELT TIRED, CRABBY & DOWN ALL DAY. ATE TONS OF SWEETS & JUNK, TOO (WHICH NEVER HELPS). I DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM, BUT I PLAN TO PUT A STOP TO IT TOMORROW. I THINK EATING LOWER-CARB MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA & I HAVE GOT TO GET BACK TO EXERCISING WELL.
THIS SHOULD ALSO BE A LESSON TO ME TO NOT SKIP MY SHOT AGAIN!
DAY 14: SAT-4/11/09
WORKOUT____WALKED 35 MIN IN CEMETERY & JOGGED 10 MIN ON TREADMILL
COMMENTS: I WEIGH 145.5!! I’VE GAINED OVER 2 POUNDS SINCE TUESDAY! UGH. I REALLY HATE THIS, BUT I KNOW I CAN’T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT TRY TO CHANGE IT.

DAY 36: 5/3/09-SUN
WORKOUT___
COMMENTS:STILL TRUCKING ALONG. STILL DOING VCO & PROTEIN. STILL HOVERING AT 133 (EVEN DURING PMS, WHICH IS NOT BAD). I’M GOING TO START DOING PILATES/CRUNCHES AGAIN (MEANING STARTING TODAY!!!). MAYBE SOME CARDIO, TOO. I’VE JUST LET THE END OF THE YEAR SWAMP GET IN THE WAY & HAVE BLOWN IT OFF FOR A WHILE.
*I’M STILL ABLE TO WEAR THE SIZE 6 JEANS/SHORTS–THOUGH THEY ARE SNUG IN THE LEGS. MY SIZE 12′S FROM AUGUST ARE TOO BIG. MY SIZE 10S ARE WEARABLE, BUT LOOSE. MY SIZE 8S FIT, BUT ARE PRETTY LOOSE AFTER AN HOUR OR TWO OF WEAR. DRESSES ARE RUNNING SIZES 6-4. ANYTHING OVER THAT IS TOO BIG.
*I AM PROUD OF WHAT I’VE ACCOMPLISHED SINCE LAST MAY. DROPPING FROM A 12 TO A 6 AND LOSING ABOUT 20 POUNDS IS GREAT! BUT I’VE RESET MY GOAL OF 130 TO 123–NOT BECAUSE I THINK 130 IS TOO BIG–IT’S A GREAT WEIGHT FOR ME. BUT B/C I THINK MY CLOTHES WILL ALL FIT BETTER AT THAT WEIGHT & WHEN YOU WORK, YOU JUST DON’T WANT TO WORRY ABOUT HOW YOUR CLOTHES FIT ALL THE TIME!
*I HAVE LEARNED, HOWEVER, THAT MY BODY DOESN’T RESPOND TO THE LOW-FAT, LOW-CAL THING LIKE MANY OTHERS DO. HIGHER-PROTEIN, LOWER-CARB IS WHAT WORKS FOR ME & THAT’S OK–EVERYBODY’S DIFFERENT. I NO LONGER HAVE THAT RAGING SWEET TOOTH I USED TO HAVE & I CAN PASS UP BREAD & RICE WITH NO PROB. PLUS, I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT HAS HELPED WITH THE BLOAT. I THINK EXERCISE WILL CERTAINLY HELP ME GET THERE & TONE ME UP.

****5/23/09–FINAL RESULTS: I GOT TO MY OLD GOAL OF 130! EVEN AFTER A NIGHT OF PASTA!****
I WORE A DRESS LAST NIGHT THAT I HADN’T WORN IN 4 YEARS & I STILL HAD TO PIN IT UP! MOST OF MY OLD SHORTS ARE WAAAAY TO BIG, SO I’LL HAVE TO GET SOME NEW ONES THIS SUMMER.
I STILL HAVE 7 MORE POUNDS TO LOSE TO GET TO 123. THAT SHOULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE & I’VE GOT THIS SUMMER TO GET THERE. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER, THOUGH!
IT’S TAKEN A SOLID YEAR FOR ME TO LOSE 20 POUNDS. IT TOOK A LOT OF PLANNING, TRIAL & ERROR W/DIET, CAREFUL EATING, EXERCISE (THOUGH I NEED TO DO BETTER ON THAT) & WILL-POWER TO DO IT. SOMETIMES, I HAVE TO BE HUNGRY WHEN I DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO WHAT I CAN EAT (NO BREADS, NO SWEETS, ETC.)–BUT EVEN IF I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET TO A DRIVE-THRU SO I CAN HAVE A BURGER PATTY, I KNOW IT’S WORTH IT. TRYING ON CLOTHES (EVEN OUT OF MY OWN CLOSET) WITHOUT THAT SENSE OF DREAD IS A HUGE WEIGHT LIFTED. BEING ABLE TO WEAR A BIKINI & NOT FEEL SELF-CONSCIOUS IS A HUGE WEIGHT LIFTED. WEARING SHORTS OUT IN PUBLIC WITHOUT FEELING SELF-CONSCIOUS IS A HUGE WEIGHT LIFTED. I WASN’T OBESE OR ANYTHING BEFORE, BUT, WITH MY BUILD, I WAS HEAVY. NOW, I CAN SEE THE MUSCLES THAT WERE HIDING UNDER THAT FAT!
PEOPLE TELL ME–”WELL, WHEN YOU EAT STARCHES/SWEETS AGAIN, YOU’RE GOING TO GAIN WEIGHT.” WELL, DUH! YOU’LL DO THE SAME WHEN YOU BREAK ANY DIET. I JUST FEEL LIKE I’VE FOUND WHAT WORKS BEST FOR MY BODY AND WHAT I CAN LIVE WITH FOR A LONG TIME. (THAT OLD 1100 CAL A DAY DIET DEFINITELY WASN’T IT. EATING WHOLE FOODS DEFINITELY WASN’T IT.) PASSING UP CAKE OR BREAD TO BE ABLE TO WEAR MY CLOTHES ISN’T DEPRIVATION FOR ME. IN FACT, WHEN I ATE PASTA/SWEETS ON DK’S BIRTHDAY, I PHYSICALLY FELT LIKE CRAP AFTERWARD–SO THAT’S ENOUGH MOTIVATION FOR ME!
SO I’M GOING TO START MY SUMMER JOURNAL & WORK ON THESE LAST SEVEN POUNDS. MAYBE I’LL GET THERE. MAYBE I WON’T. I CAN TAKE WHAT I’VE DONE NOW & STILL BE HAPPY.
