Day 2- The Workout

Day 2 is now behind me.....Whew! Lots of temptations today. It was a struggle to stick to my eating plan. I broke a rule and bought some things for the girls lunches that tempted me all day long. Not a good idea when you are in the beginning stages of a new eating plan!! Obviously I am a slow learner. Here is what I learned. 21 Cheetos contains 160 calories. 160!! And let me tell you, after you eat 21 cheetos, you are NOT full. Not even a little bit. But I was bound and determined to eat my 1 serving of Cheetos (hence the bizarre 21 number). At first I thought it said 12, so I ate 12 and was very discouraged. Then I reread the nutritional information part and realized that 12 was actually 21...and so I of course ate the extra 9 cheetos to make up the difference. I was still discouraged because I was still hungry.....what a  waste of calories. I would have been much more satisfied for much longer had I eaten an apple and a piece of string cheese.....or anything else. Enough with the cheetos, I learned my lesson.

I started my workout today which was the original intention for this post. Today I did a core workout. The plan is to  ease myself into this new workout regimen (sp?).

Here was my workout:

25 crunches on the body ball
15 pike ups w/ body ball
1  minute plank w/ alternating leg raise
30 second side plank
30 second back plank
15 back hyperextensions
20 straight legged crunches
Repeat 2x's

Here is what I intend to do each week:

Monday: Total Body Weight Training
Tuesday:Cardio Interval Training/Abs
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday:Cardio Interval Training/Abs
Friday:Total Body Weight Training
Saturday: Cardio Interval Training/Abs
Sunday: Rest

Each day that I workout I will share my workout with you. I like to change it up constantly so that a) I don't get bored; and b) my body does not get used to what I am doing. Changing up my workout keeps my muscles guessing and helps me get good results FASTER. I'm all about efficient and effective workouts!

For those of you that are dying to know what I ate today, here is my food log for today:

9/22	Description		Calories
Breakfast	ww english muffin, 1 tbsp ras. Preserve, 8 oz. oj, 1 egg		350
Snack	sugar snap peas/ 2 tbsp hummus		100
Lunch	wrap (ww tortilla, 4 slices ham, 1/2 slice cheese, fresh spinach, tomato)		270
Snack	21 cheetos(160)/ 1 apple(70)		230
Dinner	bourbon Salmon/brown rice/steamed squash		531
Snack	1/2 c. slow churned oreo ice cream w/ 1/2 banana		200

At 1681 I went over my daily goal of 1600, but only by 81. My ab workout countered that 81 so all in all, I am feeling pretty good about the day! See you tomorrow!
