Tuesday.

Hello!  It's Tuesday and STILL crappy outside!  Ugh it's so annoying and kind of draining!

Oh well, I went to the gym this morning and had a great workout! 
I did the following today:

(I forgot to add the last row to the spreadsheet)

This was the first time with this workout and I was pretty happy with it, but feel like I could have done more so next week I'm going to make the following changes:
Lateral Circles: Increase Reps to 20 & 20
Barbell High Pulls: Increase Reps to 15
Military Press: Increase Reps to 15

Originally, I had planned to do only 10 minutes of cardio at the end but I felt so good on that elliptical and could feel the burn in my buns (and FINALLY added new good music to my iPod!) so I went an extra 10 minutes!  I would have loved to keep going but it was getting late :( .
I hate having to put a time limit on my gym time!  Though it does keep me focused and I am forced to work more efficiently, I would love to be able to spend a couple of hours in the gym! 

I made Turkey Chili for dinner last night (recipe in previous post) but I didn't really eat any.  I was bad and had some chips and salsa while I was cooking and then after it was ready, I plated Bran's and Nora's food and I had to run some errands. I finally bought the Cytomax Protein Drinks last night!  I'm so excited to start incorporating them into my daily nutrition!  I'm SUCH a huge fan of protein shakes/drinks/protein in general.  Protein is, afterall, the building blocks of life. :)  It also helps to boost your metabolism and burn fat, who doesn't love that?!

Food for Today:
Breakfast:
Choc Protein Shake w/ Skim Milk
WW Waffle w/ Natural Pnut Butter

Snack:
FF Van Yogurt w/ raspberries and granola

Lunch:
Small portions of spinach & strawberry salad, turkey chili and my fruit trifle from Easter :)

Snack:
Cytomax Protein Drink!  and maybe a few raw organic almonds?

Dinner:
WW Chicken Pizza
Salad

I love making homemade pizzas, and Branden loves when I do too!  He calls them World War 1 Pizza because when I first wrote it down I wrote "WW Pizza" and he read it as "WWI Pizza" lol.   Special boy.

Well, I'm going to jump off of here!

Adios!
