I have made up in my mind that I am going to go to the gym today. I have my bag packed and ready to go. DD will be fine. Hopefully, I'll be able to get her to go down for a nap before running to the gym. That way she won't miss me; she won't even know I'm gone!

Breakfast - 2 hard-boiled eggs, berries, coffee

Snack - Orange

Lunch - roasted chicken, Mediterranean Vegetables

Snack - orange

Dinner - Fish, corn-on-the-cob, green beans

At least 64oz of water

Step aerobics today

Yay, today is my first official day of Summer for me- I'm not counting the fact that I have a final on Tuesday, cuz once it's over, I'm done! So today marks the beginning of REALLY being able to work out hard core, and get myself back into great shape! I'm so glad I'll have the time this summer. I think I'm going to test out the new yoga video this morning, that I got for my best friend and I to do to replace our yoga class at her school- their summer schedule is NOT conducive to ours- classes are in the middle of the day when we're working :( The video is from the Crunch series, and I like the Pilates DVDs that I own from them. I know videos aren't the greatest as far as working out, and I know A LOT of yoga people who say to NEVER do a video- but I'm in grad school, I have a weird schedule and I can't afford $17+ bucks per class or a gym membership. We do have some classes at our gym over the summer, but they're limited and it would cost my best friend a lot in guest fees to come with me. (It's cheaper for me to go to her school gym to take yoga- $5, instead of $15 for her to come to mine) Tonight I'll probably do some arms/abs etc, and maybe go for a jog.

Breakfast: yogurt w/ blueberries, half an Eng. muffin

Lunch: Wrap- turkey, cheese, spinach, hummus. Carrots on the side

Dinner: chicken and broccoli stir fry over rice noodles

Snack in there somewhere- not sure what.

Going to work this morning. My usual 7 a.m. client is on a cruise this week so I get a little more time to dawdle today. Feeling a bit tight from the run yesterday. I'm doing total body strength training with cardio intervals today.

Breakfast: Optimum power w/skim milk

Snack: protein shake

Lunch: leftover quinoa w/shiitakes, leeks, peppers, mashed cauliflower, banana

Snack: hummus on a high protein tortilla

Dinner: large salad, oven fried chicken, chocolate strawberry shortcake (homemade relatively healthy chocolate muffins with strawberries, cool whip, and my faux hot fudge)

my right lat has been bothering me more and more so i decided to completely rest it for one week and see if that helps. so no yoga or upper body weights, and no sleeping on my right side, but i think everything else will be as planned this week.


today i'll lift lower body, and since not doing upper body gives me some extra time, i'll do some uphill walking on the treadmill too with the extra time. tonight i teach cardio kickboxing. i'm not going to do punches with my right side to rest my lat.


food-


optimum slim with soy milk in the middle of the night


breakfast - coffee


mid-morning - smoothie


lunch - celentano garbanzo bean and eggplant meal


pre-class snack/dinner - fried rice with veggies & tofu, leftover roasted brussel sprouts


post-class snack/second dinner - broccoli rabe with meatless meatballs

Exercise -- run five or six miles on the treadmill, if I can make it that long without succumbing to boredom. (I hate the treadmill! I'd much rather be outside.) Then weights -- back, biceps, and abs.

breakfast -- toast, peanut butter, banana

lunch -- salmon, rice, and salad

snacks -- mango, orange, cereal

dinner -- spinach and tomato salad, pasta w/ roasted vegetables

dessert -- light yogurt w/ berries

I am crazy sore today from my workout on Saturday. DOMS doesn't really set in till 2 days after a tough workout for me. Teaching piano then step tonight.

Breakfast: bagel & stuff, Nestle Lemon Splash water
Lunch: butternut squash soup, WW saltines
Dinner: ?
Snack: I've got lots of fruit, peanuts, veggies & dip

Note: I have been trying all sorts of flavoured water lately. The first one I tried last week was Aquafina Flavour Splash, which has 5 calories and sweetened with sucralose, but tasted sickeningly sweet. Next I tried Propel Fitness Water, which tasted good and has added vitamins, but has at least 30 calories per bottle and is sweetened with sucrose. I have now settled on the Nestle Lemon Splash, it has 0 calories, sweetened with Splenda and also costs $3 for 6 bottles compared to the Propel which is $6.50 for 6 bottles! It has really been helping me drink more water which has been a goal of mine for a long time.

My luck is just not changing!

My car isn't fixed and we are scrounging to find the money to get it fixed, or debating if we can afford a bigger car payment to get me into something that fits 3 carseats. I now have a sinus infection because of that stupid, over chlorinated pool, my morning sickness is not going away (I threw up all morning), dd is going to have to get tubes in her ears because she can't hear, and my bestfriend just moved to North Carolina. I'm bummed!

No gym today, but I am teaching fitness kickboxing and then taking tkd if I feel okay.
