P90X Week 10

[reishka]

So, not much change this past week. My weight has been all over the place. Admittedly, I've been ridiculously busy. I had an advising session, an interview, went to the local PYO orchard, started canning everything we hauled back (and oh, what a haul it was!), had trivia night, a night with a friend, set up a potential schedule for my work-study program, finished one book and read the entirety of another.. So it was busy. I probably didn't bring it as much as I should have, and I while I didn't totally blow my diet I didn't do the best I could, either. I also feel like I'm losing momentum with the program as I come to the end.. I only have three weeks left, plus a recovery week.

Part of the upside of going back to school is that I have night classes three days a week. That means three dinners of MY choosing... plus, while I am going to very much miss trivia night, I definitely WON'T miss eating out at Pizza Castle every Thursday. Their food is really gross. And since my work-study is going to be roughly 20 hours a week, my M-Th is going to be packed. As in, 9 AM - 9 PM I'm at the school... I have no idea how I'm going to fit in working out AND getting enough sleep, on top of homework (I'm the crazy person that keeps taking 4 programming languages a semester... Yeah, that makes for FUN finals...). I guess we'll see what happens, but I entirely expect to fall off the wagon.

I'm having a hard time this week with Randy home. We've eaten out several times... yuck. How are you calculating your body fat? Do you have one of those dealies that does it, or are you using an online calculator?

I have a scale that calculates it for me. It's not very accurate, in that it uses a formula (Age + Weight + time it takes for an electrical pulse to travel up one leg and down another)... The only TRUE accurate way to figure out body fat is with calipers... but I figure my scale is consistent, if it's not accurate, enough in showing the up/down movement of my BF%. I occasionally take my measurements and toss them into a few online calculators and end up with varying results.

I've learned that when I eat out I have to eat liiiiiiiiiiiiight. If I don't, it comes back to bite me. I ordered fettuccine alfredo with chicken from Pizza Castle, ate half of it, and felt sick for the rest of the night. :( :(

And what's worse? I'm going to NYC this weekend. I'm going to meet up with a high school friend (I don't know if you knew Eric), and I will Love Love Love spending time with him, and spending time in the city, but OMG. Every time I go to the city I stuff myself with food because there are just so many good food places and not enough hours in the day to eat it all... D: Definitely going to work out before I go... I will need it... D: D:
