Review of Yesterday: well, dinner could have been way better of course. Last night I didn't sleep well at ALL, which could have been for any number of reasons: taking a 2.5 hr nap yesterday afternoon, eating so much sugar so late, staying up late to finish my book. Hmm. I just tossed and turned and ARRGH and now I'm up to walk with Mom and I don't even feel up to it. My body can take it, though, I WANT to exercise, but I feel lazy.

Today's Workouts: 3.2 mile neighborhood walk with Mom, did not push myself and did not get my heartrate up. It was really muggy and hot, thank goodness it didn't start raining till after we got back! Afterward, I put in Jillian Michaels' 30-Day-Shred...

I am STILL shaking. I did level 1 and couldn't do all the moves, then pushed myself to do level 2 (each workout was 20 minutes long) and definitely couldn't do all the moves. I switched to 3 lb weights and had to modify a little. I know I said that Billy Blanks' Ultimate Tae Bo was the hardest workout I have ever done, but I think this one even tops that. And it was only 40 minutes!!! I haven't sweat that much or been that red in the face or felt like I was going to be sick or like I was going to die in a LONG TIME. Maybe even ever. Jillian tells you to push yourself and that in order for your body to change, you have to MAKE it change by pushing yourself, and NOT quitting, even if you have to modify. I can't imagine what level 3's workout is. She is definitely NO NONSENSE.

ADD: 2 Mile Faith Walk with Dad

Breakfast: 1 banana before workouts, after workout 1 bagel (150-cal) with 1 slice Gouda cheese (70 cal), 1 slice salami, chive and onion cream cheese (did not use as much as normal), 4 grilled shrimp (weird I know, but its protein and Omega 3's!), 1 small apple

Lunch: 1 cheeseburger (grilled) on a 100% whole wheat bun, low fat mayo, ketchup, onion, 3 pickle slices, a slice of tomato. Delicious.

Dinner: 1 slice mestamacher fitness bread, 1 slice salami, 1 slice reduced fat Jarlsberg cheese, 1 wedge Laughing Cow low fat spreadable cheese (made into a small sandwich)

Dessert/snacks: small piece of dark chocolate

Water: doing well

Daily Vitamins: check
