I'll be working around the house today.

Breakfast - cereal, orange

A.M. Snack - Carrot & Celery Salad (Love this! It contains celery, carrots, walnuts, hard-boiled eggs, olive oil, vinegar, and paprika. Lots of veggies, proteins, and good fats)

Lunch - Smothered steak & vegetables. (Another good one containing spinach, celery, mushrooms, green beans, and zucchini)

P.M. Snack - soup

Dinner - fish, veggies, cranberry sauce

Lots of water and no exercise.

Exercise: recovery day from a hard workout last night. I'll go to the gym tonight and do some light cardio and lots of stretching. Getting back into the swing of things really wears a girl out!

Breakfast: Atkins Yogurt & Flax Seeds... btw... someone asked me yesterday about the flax I eat and if I grind it. I forgot to answer... yes, it's pre-ground/milled that I get off of bodybuilding.com and contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well as flax. I eat 4 tbsp. per day. 2 at breakfast and 2 either with lunch or dinner.

Snack: sunflower seeds (dry roasted)

Lunch: lettuce salad w/left over grilled chicken and veggies

Snack: protein bar

Post workout: soy/whey protein shake

Dinner: lean ground turkey taco's on whole wheat wraps instead of taco shells.

Have a great day all!

Breakfast: whole grain bagel, cream cheese, smoked salmon
Lunch: homemade butternut squash soup, salad, FF chicken and Alpine Lace roll-up for protein
Dinner: looks like fish, brown rice, some kind of veggie

Exercise: teaching sculpting in the morning and step in the afternoon.

Any of you instructors get burned out teaching? I am concerned because it's only been 2 months and I'm feeling burned out already! How do you keep things fresh?

sub only? that's what i'd prefer to do.


short of that, how about new choreography or new music? i'm excited about the new music i just got, and that makes me at least a bit enthusiastic for my classes this week.


i don't really get burned out on teaching so much as burned out on always having to be at the same place at the same time doing the same thing every week. i end up dreading having to teach, and i only teach

I did upper body and 40 minutes on the elliptical. I also had a meeting with my boss and trained a client. I'm on my way out the door to have lunch with a friend. If I feel like it, I'll do a little shopping this afternoon and then it's back to work for the evening.

Breakfast: peanut butter banana toast

Snack: detour bar

Lunch: Out with a friend... who knows.

Snack/Dinner: Depends on what I eat at lunch. :)

I did bicepts and 35 min on the eliptical. I am trying to keep my heart rate up when I lift, so in between sets I did abs and chambers. I really liked it, I don't know why I never did it before. It made my workout go by faster, and I didn't zone in between sets--kept me focused on my workout.

Food-
lean pocket
banana
way too much at the Mexican restaurant
clementines
chicken salad thingy
