STRENGTH TRAINING really IS the way to go. more on that later, stay tuned, im starving..

Okie doke, heres the rest... strength training. i used to hate it because i felt like i could burn more calories by doing just cardio. but ever since i have been concentrating on spending time REALLY tearing that muscle fiber, letting it have time to heal, and thereby allowing it to eat up the fat, ultimately taking its place.... i feel AWESOME. sure, it hurts for a few days, but you get used to it and your body is so much firmer and because of the added muscle, burns even MORE calories than it did before.

Workouts:
3 Mile WATP Express with stretchie (no weights), the Ab Mile (also no weights) from the 5 Day, AND, the reason why i did not use weights as I have been doing is because I threw in the 30 minute upper body workout, where I used a variety of weights-- 3, 5, and even 8 lbs, something I have NEVER done. Go me!

Breakfast:
1 banana, 1 whole wheat bagel with chive and onion cream cheese, 1 scrambled egg with salt and pepper.

Lunch:
BBQ sandwich on garlic bread (2 slices) with a side salad and 8 oz skim milk.

Dinner:
1 slice Mestamacher bread with 1 wedge low fat spreadable cheese, sliced Edam and 2 slices of salami ... yum

Dessert/snacks:
1 apple, 1 60-cal sugar free pudding cup (chocolate)

Water:
determined to get it all in!!!

Daily Vitamins:

Nightly Vitamins: check
