Well this is it. Still keeping the eating in check.
Had a protein shake and water for breakfast.
Measurments one last time: 130 wieght
Thigh:53.5
Hips & butt: 84.5
Waist: 78.5
Chest: 85.5
As for sacrifices, giving up coffee was really hard. I don't drink alot but enjoy a coffee upon waking so really missed that. Also having the occasional social drink was dificult not to have either. Bread, well I think my body craves it or something. And pasta, ehh didn't really miss that.
As for what I got, I gained alot of knowledge from this program as far as getting to know my body a bit better. I have always tried to live a healthy lifestyle ever since I quit smoking and did the Body for Life. But I never realized how huge cutting out bread and pasta would be. I really think that has made a significant difference.
I don't think I would do anything different, maybe just intensify the workouts.
Would I do this again, absolutely! In fact I intend to keep doing this type of eating.
Would I recommend a friend, I already have ;-)
This works!!!!!!!! Thank you ;-)

Day 30
Today the baby and Christina will come home. Still alot to do today. Have to take my Dad to a Dr.s appt. also. So timeing is everything.
Was able to do intervals. Had a protein shake and gave it my all.
Did 13 high and 3 low 25 min. and 1.90 for dis.
Shower and cut up some more apple just in case.
Had some omlet b4 leaving the house.
We were hoping to have everyone home by noon, but baby needs more testing. So had to leave and come back to get my dad to his appt. Made some time for salad with some chicken breast for lunch. Also munching on apples when I'm able.
Very busy day but all in all not terrible for eating. I was able to get my dad to his appt. and still have Christina and baby home in time for dinner.
Dinner was roasted chicken and salad.
Snack: cottage cheese and fruit.

Day 29
This was again not a good day. Too much going on with the new baby. Had a good breakfast but no workout. No time. Off to the hospital again for another day. Cut up some apples but that was all.
Lunch was a Mandrine chicken salad.
Dinner wasn't bad it was homemade Chili made w/ground chicken.
But still not a good structured day.
I hope to be back on track tomorrow.

Day 28
OK keeping up on bloging is not easy. Good thing today was rest day. Had to be at the hospital with my daughter. First time mom and I know what that's like. Managed to do measurments b4 I left.
Weight:127.8 (I think that may have been nerves)
Thigh:53.5
Hips & Butt: 84.5
Waist:78.5
Chest:85.5
Food consumption has been awful. Hard to keep up when I'm not home and don't know when I will be home. This day was not good for this program.
As for goals I have come along way. I plan to continue with a very similar style of eating. I have found this very benificial. Perhaps it's the lack of breads and Pastas? Not sure but I'm happy with the results ;-)

Day 27
Today is a big day. I will be at the hospital with my daughter helping her deliver. Got up at 6 am so she can call the hosp. to see if there's a bed. As it turns out we head over for 8 and I will get my intervals done. YEHH!
Intervals done w/Energizer.
Time to eat and I'm off to hosp. Very nervous too :-/
Having oatmeal today, think I'm gonna need it!
Took a cut up apple to munch on otherwise I'm at the mercy of my surroundings.
Snack: munched on some apple when possible.
Lunch: I was able to get my hands on some Chili.
Snack: had some more apple.
Dinner: a chicken fajita wrap. It was the best I could do without having more Chili. No Thank you.
Snack: more apple.
My day was very long and difficult. They started inducing @ around 12:30 in the afternoon as there were no beds available until then. And it wasn't over until 1 in the morning when Gabriel came into the world weighing 8 lbs. 7ozs. Amazing ;-)

Day 25
Starting the day as always with water.
Changing things a bit however for today. Tried not having something to eat first. So starting with Energizer and on to intervals. The only change I could note for my body is I logged the same time 23:45 and 1.85 for distance but didn't sweat as much and even though I increased the resistance from 10 to 11 and back down to 3 for the 1:15 my heart rate didn't go to it's same range of at least 155 bpm. Not sure if there's a correlation or not but interesting none the less. Or perhaps my body is just adapting.
Breakfast: omelet w/lots of veggies.
Snack: protein shake.
Lunch: salad
Afternoon snack: 1/2 an apple w/handful of nuts
Dinner: Chicken Enchiladas from my Eating For Life Book.
Night time snack: 1/2 apple
