October 18, 2008

I think I am going to start planning better: that is, planning workouts to make sure I get my strength training in, and sort of start planning meals... not sure how that will work out because I don't always know if and what my mom is going to cook. And sometimes I get a wild hair and make something :-)

I gave my abs a double dose of fun today since yesterday was an off day. On the 10 Minute Solution fitness ball core workout, there are a few moves for the LOVE handles on the back part of the core; I FELT that yesterday, and I wasn't sure what caused it until I did that same move again (did the core workout Thursday, too) and I was like "oh, THAT'S why I'm sore there!!"

I love the flexibility workout on that DVD, too, its sooo relaxing!!

Review of Yesterday:
well, I think the schnitzel would have tasted a lot better, but having just a piece of it sufficed. The quiche wasn't that great. But it was a lot healthier!! Should have eaten something else in the evening besides ice cream, too. Oh well, it WAS my day off, right?

Today's Workouts:
Turbo Jam Punch, Kick, & Jam (55 min) + Turbo Jam Fat Blaster (30 min) + Beginner's Bootcamp Abs (it's getting easier!) (8 min) + 10 M.S. Core + Lower Body + Flexibility workouts (30 minutes) = approx. 2 hours (rounded down a bit)

MAN I love working out hard on Saturdays after I've had Friday off! I feel so strong today!!

Breakfast:
1 banana before workout, after workout: 3 slices French Toast: made with 50-cal-per-slice Double Fiber 100% whole wheat bread, skim milk, egg whites, cinnamon, a bit of Splenda, and Soy Protein Isolate powder... sprinkled with ground flax seed and drizzled with sugar-free syrup. . . the soy protein powder did not dissolve very well, so when I put the slices in the pan, I spread what was left in the bowl over the top of the slices and it eventually soaked into the slices. I'm glad I got the "natural" flavor and not chocolate or vanilla or strawberry, because I can mix it into things like this, and not even taste it!! It actually seemed to make the slices firmer somehow.

Lunch:
cilantro lime and black bean salad (made the dressing myself!): poured it over a bed of spinach and romaine lettuce leaves + a bit of cheese and a few bits of chicken.

Dinner:
7 grilled shrimp, 2/3 cup roasted red potatoes, a bit of grilled tuna

Dessert/snacks:
a piece (a more or less reasonable one) of cherry/pineapple "dump" cake -- so called because you just dump it all in the pan and pour cake mix over the top. delish!

after dinner: 1 square 72% dark chocolate

Water:
Yeah, I'm drinking it

Daily Vitamins:
