Jack Bauer Power Hour

So in anticipation of the new series 24 Live Another Day, 

my husband got me all 8 seasons of the first series 24.

He is so awesome.

I am now going to turn it into the Jack Bauer Power Hour (my sister's awesome name for it)

1 hour treadmill workout:

5 minute warm up stretch

40 minute treadmill workout (during show)

(3 mph @ varying inclines)

5 minute cool down stretch

10 minute Yoga poses 

Another part of this is my eating plan.

I have been slowly--like painfully slow in--learning the clean eating way to go about this.

I also have this issue with organization.

So to hit 2 birds with 1 stone I spent 3 hours yesterday (Sunday)

planning and organizing every single meal for this week.

This is what I came up with (w/ links to calculations)

Starting weight: 250

Starting BMI:  44.3

Goal weight: 120

Goal BMI: 18.5-24.9

For a weight loss of 130 lbs

-3 lbs per week

45  weeks

Resting caloric intake: 2416

Weight: 250, Height: 63 inches, Age:34

Need a deficit of 

3500*3= 10,500/week

10,500 / 7=1500/day

Calorie goal of 1500/day 

2416-1500= -916/day

  Meals *Made within clean eating guidelines*

  1-300 cal.-Breakfast sandwich

  2-200 Ricotta cheese, small apple 

  3-300- Salad w/ homemade ranch dressing

  4-300 - Energy Bars

  5-400

Whatever dinner I've planned 

All that doesn't seem like a lot but when you are also drinking
120 ounces of water....it's plenty :)

120 ounces (1/2 body weight in ounces)

           

1,500-916=584

Calorie burn of /day = -584/day

40 minute treadmill

(3mph, 6% incline)  =459

10 minutes stretching = 48

15 minutes Yoga= 71 

10 crunches =6

Boom I made all those above for Brian and I for the entire week 

(except Brian likes greek yogurt and 2 hard boiled eggs instead of the ricotta and apple)

Now onto organizing my house.....That's way less exciting sounding ;)

Happy Before-Valentines Day :)

Unless they are made of chocolate.

The house is infested with sickies.

It was just.....

Then it turned into real fevers, sore throats, stomach aches, etc.

They made it through Valentine's parties at school and then dropped and were kind enough

to share with me.  Aww so nice.

Ethan and Mauryn's class valentines.

Ethan said all his classmates opened theirs up immediately and bounced them everywhere.

Great....I'm sure his teacher appreciated that.

I was also a head party parent...imagine that lol.

I thought it would be cute to make valentines and fold them into paper airplanes 

because Pinterest made them look so cute and unique.

Mauryn's teacher might not have appreciated airplanes flying everywhere.  :/

Brian told me they are going to put up flyers up around school with my face and a big slash through it.

One good thing about being sick it you lose weight, it's an unpleasant way to do it but I'm down 3 lbs.

Woot, woot, oww.

Tonight, if I can stomach it we are having

Mahi Mahi and asparagus risotto.

Mmmm amazing colored yumminess.

Of course what I really want is chocolate flavored NyQuil.

Get on that Vicks  ;)

I am ready

I am ready to get back to this.  I think I overwhelmed myself.  

I so want to 

But it's hard to so I'm going to try to learn to

Week 1:

Meal planning for the week--Check

One really cool energy bar recipe--Check

These are really good and I will definitely make them again.

I will also make a lot of variations.

Maybe add protein powder and ease up on the coconut oil?

Workout Schedule planned out--Check

I have my treadmill up and "running" 

My plan is to try a schedule of 30 in the morning/afternoon/evening.

I eventually want to build up to 1 1/2 hrs early in the morning.

 

I know right?

Something to work towards though.

I also want to organize all the things!

My house first.

That should probably last until the end of time.

In other news.....

Olivia now has her talker--(her IPAD with a great app)!  

It is matching to her one at school so she can talk about her day and 

use it consistently with what she works on at school.

I will have to post a video of her "talking".

She is VERY good with it.  For instance she asked word-for-word....

"I want hamburger, french fries, Dr Pepper at McDonalds, Mama"

Not kidding!  It was so cool. Although we'll need to switch that to healthier choices 

BUT who cares right now!!

For anyone who know Olivia this is a major step for all of us.

So proud Liv!!
