Well, took the kitten into the vet this morning. Poor thing had to have its tail docked, but it's a healthy little bugger so he'll be fine. Our momma cat has taken a liking to him now that he doesn't smell like a piece of dead meat, which is awesome.
Forgot to pack snack for this morning when we took him, and then forgot to pack for this afternoon at work as well, so my eating today, while healthy and somewhat following the plan, definitely didn't follow schedule. There were a couple of points when I would eat something, then eat something else an hour later just so I'd have my 6 meals for today. I'm definitely getting busier, and it feels good. I had a lot of energy today to get it all done (probably because I've been feeding myself well this week-hmmm...) and got to spend a couple hours at the park with my daughter.
Workout was a lot better today too. I should've figured it wouldn't take me long to get back into the swing of things- I just had to DO it!

FAL
From billy's blog:
"'-People always half-ass everything. That's why they can never quit smoking, lose weight, or make the difficult changes they want to make in their lives. You are better than that. You go full-assed. Fuck them, that's why they're shitty.'
I realize that last one sounds pretty harsh, but that's one I want to talk about specifically. I think it may be the most important one. Why do so many people struggle? Because on some level, they are half-assing. Why do I continue to get results and have success, even when I'm down into the lower body fat levels? Because I go full-assed. I do what it takes, and if I'm not getting results, I try harder.
People have a tendency to blame anything but their own lack of effort for their failure to see results. People even say "it's my genetics". That's BS. Hell, it may be that they ARE putting in some effort, but they may need to put in MORE. People are so lazy and coddled that they don't feel they should have to work so hard for it. They want easy, instant results. Well, that's just not gonna happen."
Read the rest here.
I'm gonna live a FAL (Full Assed Life)!

About the one meal, it was supper tonight. I admit fully and truthfully that I had three slices of Jack's pizza (does that count as 3 meals?). I take full responsibility for it. I will also admit, however, that an adorable 4 week old kitten ran in front of my vehicle as I was pulling into my driveway, and it needed immediate medical attention which took an hour (I didn't hit it! Something's wrong with its tail). So, by the time we got into the house to make supper, I was all for quick and over with and I didn't have any deli turkey. I also forgot about the peanut butter and apple quickie that is usually in its place, or the cereal. Funny how the mind works when it's in other places, huh? So, to wrap up, I take full responsibility, but I'm blaming the kitten. *grin*

See, things just seem to go better when they are planned out for me. Sigh. I need to keep that in mind! This accountability thing helps, though, since I know now that people will jump on me if they start to notice I'm slacking. I thanks thee for that!
Following the menu was just a tad bit difficult today, partly because I felt hungry and partly because I was tired (daughter climbed into bed with me at one point and she's a bit of a tosser who loves to be extra-close, whereas I like my space so I end up nearly falling off the bed- same thing happens with my hubby). I was supposed to have tuna salad and lettuce for lunch, but I decided to go for the EFL meatloaf in my fridge instead. If you have the Eating for Life book, and haven't yet tried the meatloaf, take some Sunday afternoon and do so! It's quite good. I also exchanged my evening Midmeal and my afternoon Midmeal (Frozen creamy banana protein shake, tastes just like ice cream). Of course other food was calling to me all day today, not so much because I wanted it, more a psychological thing since I knew it wasn't on the menu. However, I'm quite enjoying having the menu. It's much easier to follow than my ad-hoc daily plans.
Creamy banana protein shake recipe (modeled after the Anyday Sundae in the EFL book):
1 cup milk
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla)
1 banana
1/2 cup reduced fat whipped topping
Ice cubes to taste- 4 to 6
2 tsp chocolate syrup
In a blender, blend milk and protein powder, then add ice cubes followed by the banana and the whipped topping. Split into two cups and place into freezer for up to 24 hours. The sooner it is taken out, the less frozen solid it will be. When ready to eat, place 1 tsp chocolate syrup on shake and enjoy!

Except for the fact that my hip is absolutely killing me today, it’s been good fit/health-wise. The hip does impact the workout however. Anyone who’s had to work around pain understands that one. Pain in general causes the heart rate to increase that much more easily, causing one to become winded before they normally would.
On the good side: I did 15 full-body pushups today without needing rest, but the next two sets of 15 were kneeling. I also did “modified chinups”: using a close-grip bar on the lat pulldown machine, then pull the bar towards yourself as though you are doing actual chin-ups. If you can do it without actually sitting on the seat, it helps to activate the core muscles more. I was able to go up to 80 pounds doing 3 sets of 8 reps. Usually when I try to do pull-ups/chin-ups, I do eccentric ones where I jump up then lower myself slowly down (4 seconds or so). I can do 1-2 full chinups without support.
My hubby and I had a long conversation about my hip yesterday. He in fact believes that hormones may be playing a large role in how well my hip operates, as well as in my moods (getting depressed or emotional). Since I’ve been on the pill for 3 years now, and have not progressed as I would like to in the squats/lunges/needing hip replacement areas, he is blaming that. So, anyone else have that experience (the pill affecting something, then going off it is like a godsend in that dept)?
Answering some Questions
[quote]I like your accountability questions.
It's interesting that you worked out two days, but had no workout plan for those days. Does that indicate success in workouts or failure in planning, and if your goal is workouts, is that success or not?
Also does your success in healthy food choices in 3 out of 6 meals indicate that you only ate 3 meals or that you ate 3 good meals and 3 bad meals.
The greatest life success is that you enjoyed your family both days. That is the one that really counts.
Thanks for making me think of how I should become more accountable for my actions.[/quote]
Thanks, you ask good questions too!
For the workout plan, it means that I had one and didn't follow it. I probably should have been more specific about that. Basically that question is asking, did you follow the workout plan you had for yourself today? Combined with the other question, Workout Today, it lets me know if I at least had some physical activity that was continuous for at least 20 minutes. If I didn't follow plan, it means that I probably did something that wasn't very intense for me. It means that I successfully moved, but only in a maintenance way and not a progressive way.
Success in healthy food choices is all-encompassing. For me, I find that I have the most success when I eat several small meals per day (in terms of later food choices and in weight loss in general). So, that means if I skip a meal, it was an unhealthy food choice. If I down a bag of chips, that was a bad food choice and will be the same as skipping a meal. It may sound hard on myself, but I was just trying to keep things simple.
In other news, I had a great weekend, got to talk over some of my feelings with my hubby (I was feeling a bit like a failure lately), and made a week-long menu for food with little checkboxes next to it to see whether or not I followed the plan. That's a great step in the right direction for me, since I don't have to think about what to eat next. I also now have a paper journal for food and thoughts. If I'm beginning to spread myself thin, I'll be able to consolidate paper, MOM journal and blog into one quite easily, since I will try to write in the paper journal throughout the day and then just wrap-up at day's end. I wrote Week One of 16 weeks on there, but I'm going to take it easy on myself and take it one step at a time. This week's goal is journaling.
And yesterday’s priority list:
Workout Today? Yes/No

I did not get a TT workout in yesterday. I could blame my daughter for not going to daycare and taking a nap at the worst possible time, but the truth is that I was sore and just didn't want to move until about 7pm, when I put my daughter in her stroller and braved the highway outside our door. Workout should happen today. I plan to do a TT bodyweight circuit.
I ate some popcorn last night. I was really hungry yesterday, and although I had EFL meals all day in their correct portions, I was just wanting to munch. I forgot about the carrots in my fridge, of course *scowl*. I don't know why I eat popcorn. Everytime I do, it feels like it gets stuck in my intestine. Yuck.
The studies on consumption of food and hunger in correlation with exercise have actually shown that an intense workout does not make one hungry after the workout, however, they have found that there is a correlation between an intense workout and increased food consumption approximately 48-72 hours later. If I look at that logically, it means that I was hungry yesterday because I worked out pretty intensely on Monday. I don't want to use that as an excuse, though.

See Sidebar for more info
Starting today, I'm going to have a checklist on my priorities, and have a template for answering whether or not I'm achieving those priorities. Here's what it will look like (subject to change):
Workout Today? Yes/No
Planned workout today? Yes/No
Planned meals for today? Yes/No
Followed plan for meals? Yes/No
Enjoyed my family today? Yes/No
Succeeded for school today? Yes/No
This checklist will be on my blog daily. By answering those questions regularly, I'll be able to see whether or not I've been following a success pattern or not. The answer to the question will be in BOLD. Keep in mind, when school starts things get a lot more frenzied.
Daughter's not napping, so I'm off to attempt a workout (I'm sore from yesterday and the chiro appt I had today) then work.

My New Hero
I generally abhor hero worship, but after re-reading Skwigg's last entry and staring again at her pics, I have to say I'm completely in awe. This girl's crazy in an awesome way, and she went from great to awesome with the Afterburn program that I finished up in May. Amazing what a person can do without excuses!
If you have never heard of this girl, go visit and read.

Getting on Track
I think I'm finally starting to get back on track. I decided today that I'm SICK of my body always telling me what to do, which can sound bad if taken in the wrong way, but for me it's more of being sick of allowing my body or small things get in the way of my success (ie the excuses I talked about before).
Joe Vitale was talking about love some more in his posts. His view: Love your work. I took it to mean, that not only do I have to love my job to be successful in it, but I have to love the work I'm doing to be successful in reaching my body comp goals.
So food: I love you. Especially the healthy stuff! Workouts: I love you. I actually did love the jump rope session I did today, which was done after convincing myself in the first place that I should finish my TT workout (lack of consistent workouts makes one tired easier). Here's what I did on the rope: 5 min stretching/warm-up, then 15 minutes of 30 sec hard jumping followed by 90 sec of active rest (I either walked around the gym or did some easy karate kicks). Followed that with 16 minutes easy walking on the treadmill.

Excuses
I re-read through my blog posts last night and noticed one similarity running through many of the threads: excuses, aka justifications.
I am really good at justifying myself, which must completely annoy the perfectionist side (or feed off that side) of myself. I wonder if that isn't what's keeping me back. That and also not being grateful for being where I'm at currently. I'm constantly being told (by everyone, including spouse) that I look fine the way I am right now (some even have told me, "don't get too skinny")-wha? I'm still 20 lbs and 5 percentage points away from my ideal body comp! So there's some more issues lying on the table.
Well, school starts soon. Work will pick up soon. Daughter will be starting preschool and possibly gymnastics soon. I really really want to join a karate class or have some type of activity on the side, even though I likely won't have time (or daycare) for it. Sigh.
On the upside, I spent a couple of hours today cooking. Wow. Most of them were multi-use meals (easy leftovers/planned overs) and were all thrown in the freezer, except for the beef stew. I haven't decided if we'll eat that this weekend or not. All recipes were from the Eating for Life book, which is still my favorite recipe book of all time. Quick, easy, uses ingredients that I know, has nice pictures so I'm not scared of it. Although I also spent quite a while at the grocery store the other night, looking for some of the stuff that I'd recently heard of and didn't have a clue what it was (hominy, parsnips, new potatoes, beans of different types, etc). I was able to do that since daughter wasn't in tow. It's amazing what's in the grocery store, and what I'd never been exposed to as a child. It's no wonder I lived off string cheese and ice cream as a teenager!

From Joe Vitale's Blog
Words to take to heart: I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.
Email sent from Joe Magnum, which was posted on Joe Vitale's blog here.
Love others as you love yourself. (Always taken in the vein as love others as much as yourself, for we are selfish; but can also be taken as Love others at the same time as you love yourself. Interesting.)

A few things
First, I haven't posted since nearly the beginning of summer. That tells anyone something about how things are going.
Second, I kindof unofficially sorta started Turbulence Training this past week. Dang, I'm having a hard time keeping to a workout schedule when there's no pressure on me. *note to self- pressure must be good*
Third, I noticed that my goal picture up top still says May 1. That's long come and go. I've maintained any losses that were incurred by Alwyn's program, but not made any more progress toward those pics. Too bad, means I won't be in a two-piece swimsuit by Labor Day. sigh.
Fourth, I'm really starting to take notice of my nutrition and moods, and how they all interact. I'm built weird (my hubby would just say I'm a female), and my moods go all over the place, especially when I'm allowed time to think. I think myself into a bowl of icecream or out of a workout. So, two things: I must plan my meals on Sundays again and I must be not allowed to think. Hmm.
