Hey, so I haven't really left the house for like, the past 3 days all under the pretext that I'm supposedly cleaning my house, which is a shithole right now. Seriously, it's embarassing. I'm always afraid someone is gonna drop-by and I'm gonna have to pretend like I'm not home haha. And I've basically wasted these 3 days not walking or going to the gym because I've been waking up late and the house still isn't clean, since I've been procrastinating. Even now I should be doing laundry and re-arranging my closet (I totally dumped out all my clothes on the floor to empty it and still haven't put them back in).
Anyway, I probably should have been working out a lot more because I don't think I lost that much weight this week. We'll see the results tomorrow when I go to my dietician's appointment. I've been pretty good about my diet except that today I ran out of groceries and figured I would be too late by the time I could go get stuff and come home and make food, so I ordered a light spinach and brocolli pizza with fat-free mozerella on a whole-wheat crust. It was actually pretty damn good since I'm happy to have had pizza at all, at least I don't feel totally guilty now. It was still as diet as it could be (yeah, excuses).
I have to say that even though I'm still not at the ideal wieght I wanna be, I've lost about 5 kgs (about 12 lbs) since I started this program last month, and my self-confidence has definately started to go up. At least being able to lose some weight has shown me that my effort is paying off and it's motivating me to keep going. I also feel like taking care of myself and the way I look more now, since there's some hope that I might actually reach my goal.
I'm still waiting to sign this damn contract. I probably don't have to mention again just how impatient I'm getting, it's literally driving me insane. I talked to my manager and we're probably gonna call next week just to ask when they're planning on signing. He's still totally against calling at all because he doesn't want me to look too eager, but it's been a week since they said the project had been approved and I don't want them to wait until the last minute to do something. I want to know what I'm gonna be doing already!!! Grrrr...
My mom's b-day is coming up, I should go online and buy her a gift. She's been calling me, it's better than not speaking, and basically she still says things that normally would make me crazy but I'm just trying to handle the situation until all this stuff works itself out and I have some good (in my mind anyway) news to tell them. I don't say anything at all, I just tell her I love her and miss her, the more I let her guilt-trip me the more we fight and I lose focus on everything.
Okay, well, I'll be back tomorrow to post my new diet for the week and how much weight I've lost.

My Current Diet: From here you can follow each week's diet as my dietician gives them to me.
This week we are back to the first week's diet (which you can see if you click the link below).
However, there is a slight difference. One day, breakfast will be the same. But for the rest of the day I will eat 1 kg. (about 2.2lbs.) of only seasonal fruits (strawberries, cherries, apples, pears, nectarines). They can be mixed however you want and you can eat them when you want, just make sure that they are all you eat for the rest of the day and that you don't eat more than 1 kg. Do this for one or two days this week.

My Current Workout: from here you can follow my exercise program as my trainer give it to me.
This week is just cardio, after six days of this we will add wieght training.
Treadmill: 20 minutes with no incline, at a speed of 5.5
Stationary bike: 15 minutes at level 1, rpm around 70
Stairmaster: 8 minutes at level 1
Elliptical Trainer: 10 minutes at level 1, between 55-60 rpm
Rowing: 5 minutes
Be sure to keep your heart rate above 110 but below 130, this is best for maximum fat-burn. My trainer adjusts this each day as it gets too easy or difficult, adjust the difficulty by checking your heart rate. As long as you are between 110-130 keep going at that pace.
Don't change the amount of time or skip anything on the list. Even if you like one machine but hate another, do them all in this order. It is designed to charge your metabolism and impact all your muscles
Aside from the workout, I make sure to walk as much as possible whenever I can.
