Improving My Life One Day at a Time

So, today is Wednesday, and I did as I said I would do and worked out Monday and Tuesday!

On Monday, June 9th, I worked out at the gym.  Here's what I did:

Stretch/Warm-up:  10 minutes

Elliptical:  40 minutes

Arc Trainer:  15 minutes

Abs:  Approximately 10 minutes; 3 sets of 20 reps on 2 machines; 15 reps on vertical ab machine; 

Legs:  Approximately 10-15 minutes using various machines

For breakfast:  Oatmeal.  

For lunch:  Greek Yogurt w/ Agave and Cinnamon.  

For dinner:  Leftover baked chicken and a salad.  

I drink at least a gallon of water daily; no issue there.  

Since I had indulged in a piece of carrot cake over the weekend, I found myself craving something sweet. However, I didn't give in to temptation; I have nothing at the house anyway :o)

On Tuesday, June 10th, I worked out at home.  Here's what I did:

Stretch/Warm-up:  10 minutes

Treadmill:  45 minutes

Abs:  Approximately 30 minutes with breaks in between; 

          2-3 sets of 20 of:  Bicycle, Crunches using Fitness Ball, Regular Full Sit-Usp using Fitness Ball,                     Planks

Lunges:  3 sets of 15 

For breakfast:  Oatmeal  

For Lunch:  Veggie Wrap from Tropicana Smoothie  

For dinner:  Leftover baked chicken and a salad.  

Tons of Water throughout the day!

No sweet cravings!  Yes!

I felt really good yesterday and feel that I'm on a roll.  Once I start, it's usually not hard for me to continue. Starting is the hard part. 

On Wednesday, June 11th

No workout.  Break Day.

For breakfast:  Greek Yogurt with Mandarin Oranges 

Skipped Lunch

For Dinner:  Leftover Baked Chicken in tortilla wrap with tons of Spinach, Romaine Lettuce, Slice of Cheese, and a little Mayo

Tons of Water throughout the day!

Still no sweet cravings!  (If you haven't already guessed, sweets are my weakness)  I find working out and fruit helps curve my appetite for it.

Feeling somewhat sore today by the way, but overall, I feel great!
