Review of Yesterday: I felt like I was hungrier, and that I ate more, but looking back, I did eat a lot smaller portions. Dad backed out yesterday. Kind of frustrates me, anyone can do 15 minutes for Pete's sake. So I didn't get any exercise yesterday. I should say, I didn't GIVE myself any exercise yesterday. I did myself a disservice. I think I need to stop taking full days off like this. All day I think about what I missed out on, and I'm so tired, too. It depressed me a little bit and I felt lazy. Between right now (5:48 am) and the last time I exercised, FORTY-EIGHT hours have passed!! THAT is why I don't want to take days off. 24 hours between workouts is enough time to recover!! I really think I only want to take a day off when my body does NOT want to exercise. Yesterday it did want to, and I didn't listen to it. I did get a ton of homework and work-work done yesterday though, I mean a TON, but still, something was MISSING!!! so today, I'm gonna work out. Time to get ready!!!

Today's Workouts: well, I was just a weekend WARRIOR today :-) had so much fun I just had to keep going and going :-) I stopped for extra water and food along the way and now I am 9 miles closer to Key West!! I did the "Burn" part of Turbo Jam's Learn & Burn so I could learn the moves, then did the Turbo Jam 20-minute workout, which was so much fun, I didn't even realize how much time had passed and how much I was sweating! After that, I did Billy Blanks Cardio Circuit 1 (34 minutes), and finished up with good ol' Walk Strong (30 Minutes) with 8 lb weights. That was tough, but I kept telling myself during the workout, "I CAN do this!" and guess what happened? I did it!

Breakfast: 1 banana before workout, 1 apple mid-workout... after workout a pita pizza with olive tomato sauce, part-skim ricotta cheese, 4 cherry tomatoes, a few pieces of chicken, sprinkled with garlic, parmesan, and oregano. YUM!

Lunch: went to Red Lobster with a friend. We split an appetizer and a lunch entree. I had 1/4 Caesar salad (with Romaine lettuce. I did not finish my half), 1/2 cup broccoli, 1/4 of grilled chicken breast (with tomatoes and onions, yum!), 1/4 serving mashed potatoes, 1/2 of a small cheese biscuit (I think they made those things smaller...), and two slices of Lobster Pizza (lobster, cheese, tomato, and spinach on crunchy flat bread... yum!)

Dinner: 1 small romaine lettuce salad with light Italian dressing. 1/4 grilled chicken breast, other half of cheese biscuit, other 1/4 serving mashed potatoes, 2 small slices Lobster Pizza

Dessert/snacks: one 60-cal Hershey's Extra Dark chocolate stick... and the last 3 slices of lobster pizza, OHHH.... lol. i felt like I could eat it since I had such a tough workout, haha... plus I wanted it out of the house!!!

Water: going to drink a lot of it, a WHOLE lot.
