A Better Day!

Today is a FAR better day!  Not only did I get my body out of bed and to the gym, I met 3 of my friends there to workout together!  A workout partner is always a great thing to have.. I find that my competitive drive keeps me motivated to do just 1 more.  So I did the Monday workout today - with a few tweeks;
We eliminated the Flutter Kicks (not quite up to that), the Squat with High Knee Raise and the Oscillating Leg Lifts.. because we didn't know how to do those lol.  Also, rather than the last medium speed Elliptical, we walked at medium speed on the Treadmill.  I also added 2 sets of 12 Oblique Twists (with 3 varying tension points).
Overall, I felt GREAT leaving the gym!  Walking down the stairs was a bit tricky once I got home (weak quads!) but it felt really good to have completed a great workout! 

The nutrition went as planned yesterday up until, yet again, dinner.  My mom had cooked dinner by the time I got home (we live across the street from her - so there are a LOT of shared dinners!) and she made sauteed chicken with vegetables in some sort of alfredo sauce with whole wheat penne pasta and salad.  Trying to avoid the creamy sauce, I opted for a salad.  It was quite tasty!

Menu Plan for Today is as follows:
Breakfast:
Chocolate Protein Shake
Whole Wheat Bagel

Snack:
Raisin Bran Crunch (not the best, I know, but I'm addicted!)

Lunch:
Low-Fat Vanilla Yogurt with crushed plain graham crackers
Turkey and Pickle sandwich w/ 2 mustards

Snack:
Salad w/ Light Cesar Dressing

Dinner:
I'm planning for last night's dinner - I really want to use that Tomatillo Salsa - but we'll see when I get home. :)

 I really like doing arms so I'm pretty pumped about tomorrow's workout!   In general, I'm feeling pretty good today.  My energy is still quite low and work is working my nerves today but my mom gave me a sample pack of her vitamins to try.  Either way, I'm going to go get some Vitamin B to help.  We're taking a family trip to the mall after work today.. Branden has an exciting interview Friday and he needs 'interview clothes'.. and I could SERIOUSLY use another pair of work pants.  Ugh.. shopping for pants will be the death of me.  If they fit in the waist, I have a sagging butt.. if they fit in the butt, hello muffin top! (ew) Oh well.. until tomorrow!
