Day 20
Got all my exercises in ...and it is nice to know how much we are burning ...thanks Sarah for that post. I know exercising once a day after day thirty will be a breeze. I am thinking of doing one of Craig Ballentine's weight lifting workouts for the next two months after this and of course I am going t o stick with ED. The cookbook has been a lifesaver! I get alot of great ideas and adapt them to my own tastes. I am definitely getting stronger and able to do a real push up (5 in a row) and I want to get to ten by the time this challenge is over. I am also really trying to focus on goal setting both long term and short term. One of the goals I have had for a very long time (20 years) is to take a fashion design course. I finally signed up for one and its available online. Very excited and grateful to be able to fulfill my dream.
Food wise breakfast; eggs, lunch; tomato soup, dinner; seafood stir fry with yogurt for dessert and of course copious amounts of water and tea. Feeling really great and I hope to see some major results on weigh day.
Day 21 CARB DAY
Three down and four to go, Meltdown, which I will complete after this post! The video Dax put up showing the guy hauling a team mate on his back to the end zone was really motivational and I am definitely going to give these last nine days all that I can. I have only lost 8 pounds, but I am happy with that and will continue with ED until I reach my goal weight.
Food 2 eggs, salad with a chicken breast and 1/2 cup of rice, spaghetti with gluten free noodles.

Day 17, 18 and 19 8lbs and 10.5 inches so far
Well things are starting to move. Two inches off my chest and two inches off my waist and hips. Very happy about that. I have lost 8 lbs so far, which isn't too crazy and I am okay with that since I lost some exercise time. 10 days to go though so there is still hope.

Day 17
We left for Jasper today so I woke up early and did my MD. I ate a lot of carbs yesterday so I decided to fast today since I was just going to be sitting in the car most of the time. lt is an 9 hour drive. We stopped in Edson over night and the hotel we stayed at had a wicked gym so I did the ICP and ran on the tread mill and then did the DB matrix while watching the golden globe awards. We had no other choice but to eat out so we picked a Greek Restaurant and I order herbal tea and chicken skewers and Greek salad. When it came I had forgotten to ask for no feta, and I tried to pick most of it out. Got to bed at 11 pm and sleep fairly well. Throughout the day I drank lots of water and herbal tea.
Day 18
We woke up early and hit the road because we were still 1.5 hours away from Jasper. For breakfast I had a fruit salad and mint tea. We arrive at Parks Canada and loaded the desks and lights we bought at an online auction. This took most of the afternoon. When we were done we found a cute little cafe and I had a salad and lentil soup for lunch. After tying down our tarp we hit the road and stayed the night in Edson again. For dinner I had a Greek salad with no feta this time. This hotel also had a great gym and I hit it pretty hard. 25 minutes on the tread mill followed by the Body Weight workout which is awesome. So didn't get to do the other two workouts, but I did what I could. Drank lots of water throughout the day and lots of tea.
Day 19
Woke up and I had yogurt and fruit for breakfast. We drove home all the way with out stopping so didn't have a chance to workout. For lunch I had a Chef's salad with no cheese and for dinner I had Chili and salad. Then went to bed tired. Drank lots of water throughout the day and lots of tea.

Day 15 and Jan 16 MD 2010
I was just sorting through my paperwork while getting ready to leave tomorrow for Jasper and I saw my notes for Day 15. I completely forgot to post the rest of Day 15. . . I got all my workouts in no prob and had 2 eggs with tomato, cilantro, onion and lemon for breakfast, for lunch I had a spinach salad and for dinner scallops and lobster and salad. Yesterday was actually a special day for me because I signed up for a 2 year online fashion design course. I have always loved sewing and making my own clothes and I finally got the courage to sign up! I am very excited! I start next week.
Well the Internet was down yesterday, but here are my measurements.

DAY 16
Yikes only manage to get one workout in DB Matrix! Work is insane! Trying to get all my reports in before the end of the Week before my fashion design course begins. I have many ideas of the different clothes I want to make.
Food today... Sushi for breakfast, Omelet for Lunch and Lentil soup for Dinner. Little high on the Carbs today so going to fast tomorrow. I will be away until Tuesday Day 18. Going to Jasper for work and will try like crazy to get my workouts in. I just finished packing my weights, mat and exercise workbook. I am a bit panicked because there are only 14 days left and I have still a lot to loose. I have been thinking about after the 30 days though. I will stick to the ED using the WAVE method and the fasting. I really want to get to my goal weight of 155 pounds and beyond. I am really going to bust a butt when I get back and get in as many workouts as I can in the next few days. I have to spend 2 nights in a hotel and they usually have a workout room so I should be okay.
Have a great couple of days and will write when I get back.

Day 14 Jan 14 MD 2010
Oh my gosh it is hard to believe that it is already half way! Besides a couple of bumps in the road (kinked neck day 4 and 5 plus not feeling well Day 12 and 13) I am doing pretty good. Can't wait to measure and weigh myself on the 15th. I also starting really focusing on my goal setting after the 30 days are over.

Day 11 Jan 11 MD 2010
I felt really bloated yesterday and today so I kinda fasted today. This morning I juiced a whole cucumber and a bunch of celery. I got an awesome juicer for xmas from my parents and wow I love it! I went to the gym and let her rip for 25 min on the treadmill. I don't want to lose my endurance because I want to run more once the weather improves. After that I did some work as usual. I am an archaeologist and when I am not in the field I am in front of the computer writing reports. I did the DB Matrix this afternoon and the Power Circuit. Love the DBM! Still have the pyramid to do tonight. I am off to belly dance rehearsals and will have dinner after.
Food
Scallops and cherry tomatoes sauteed on a bed of spinach
Beef and chicken kabobs with mushrooms and peppers
I drank a ton of water today and lots of decaf tea

Day 10 Jan 10 MD 2010
Woke up this morning feeling great (a bit bloated though) and did my first workout out after breakfast, which was a fantastic omelet followed by leftover stir fry for lunch. There were a few gluten free noodles in the mix but I hope that doesn't do too much damage. Dinner is meatloaf. Not really hungry though. Just finished my last workout ICP.
