Progress!

Howdy! 
I'm feeling pretty good today!  Tired(as usual), but good!  Lauren and I met at the gym at 5 this morning to do the Thursday workout.  There was extra cardio and few regular exercises today.  It was kind of nice to switch things up a bit.  I'm actually surprised that I was sore from the ball crunches yesterday - and we had 4 sets of 20 to do today as well, which made it a bit more challenging, but it felt good! 
I got on the Elliptical today to do my last 10 minutes on "Medium" speed and it didn't even bother me!  Normally by the end of medium and definitely fast, I'm huffin and puffin, about to blow somebody's house down - but not today!  Granted, at the end of the 5 minutes on "Fast" I wasn't feeling so FIT but it felt really good to be comfortable after the 10 minutes!  I suppose it's time to 'up' the resistance? 
Tomorrow is my Friday workout and I don't think I have a digital copy to post - but basically it's 1 set of all of the exercises I do throughout the week with no extra cardio.... so basically just going one exercise to the next, bangin 'em out with little rest in between.  Should be fun!
I'm excited to start a new workout routine next week (given that Bran has time to make it this weekend!). 

Last night was the last pretty day for a while (it just got cold again! Color me PISSED!) but I didn't go on a walk b/c I was SO tired.. I'm still regretting that but shoulda, coulda, woulda - right?  Instead, I made dinner at mom's house:
Grilled Chicken Tacos w/ Rice and Beans:
Boneless/skinless Chicken Breasts seasoned and grilled
WW Tortillas
Grilled Bell Peppers and Onions (Tossed in EVOO and Garlic Powder)
FF Sour Cream
Lettuce
Organic Spicy Guacamole
Salsa
Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
Low Sodium Black Beans and Corn

It was totally yummy!!  I'm telling you.. grilling season is MY season! 

I'm running out of food at my house so my menu plan is getting pretty lame lol.
Today:
Breakfast:
3/8 WW Bagel w/ Butter Substitute
Choc Protein Shake w/ Skim Milk

Snack:
LF Vanilla Yogurt w/ Berries and Grahams

Lunch:
Small Apple w/ Natural Pnut Butt and Raisins

Snack:
...water

Dinner:
TBD.. maybe chicken chilli or something?

Probably won't get any additional exercise in today, I need to go to Michael's/Hobby Lobby to shop for a Bridal Hairpiece that I'm working on when I get off of work. 

BTW - note to Fitworks - (seriously considering sending an email) - Lauren and I are WAY tired of sweatin to the oldies in the mornings!  Fitworks has the worst music playing every morning!  It's not that it's bad music in general, but bad workout music!  I want to hear music that would be playing in a gay bar. (Think techno versions of every hip-hop/pop/r&b song out there)  You would be surprised how much your environment will affect your workout! 

Oh well, I just need to suck it up and bust ass! 
Until tomorrow!
