Day 10

I am soooo glad it's Friday!!!!! I hope I can sleep in tomorrow.  I feel sooo tired..not my mind, but my body.  I worked out really hard yesturday and pushed myself to the limits and I coupled that with cleaning the house and my body is just tired.  I plan on working out really hard again today too...so I am going to be really tired later.  I found it a little depressing that the bathing suit I ordered did not fit...but at least it was the top that didn't fit and not the bottom...still sucks though....I really thought it was sooo cute.  I am going to exchange it for another one and hopefully that one will fit.  Have a great Friday!

Day 10

Motivation for the day:

To have this stomach!

Breakfast

2 low- fat whole wheat waffles (one with a little sugar- free syrup & I can't believe it's not butter and 1/4 cup blueberries..and the other with 1 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter and a drizzle of honey), sparkling water, and coffee with 2 tbsps sugar- free creamer

Really wondering what my weight is???  Maybe I will weigh in on Sunday morning.

Lunch

2.5 oz steak with 2tsps A-1 sauce, 1 squash and 1 zuccini broiled with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, pepper, & garlic, 1 orange, sparkling water, and 1 sugar- free cocnut chocolate for dessert

Exercise for the day:

5 minute warm- up on elliptical at resistance level 10 (burned 130 calories), 5 Factor Friday workout (50 seated shoulder presses with 15 lb dbs, 50 dumbbell pullovers with 20lbs, 50 upper- body twists) and an extra 75 crunches





               

Elliptical :  31 mins on resistance level 10 ( calories burned 770...added to warm-up= 900 calories burned with cardio alone), 5 full chin- ups

So I cannot believe that I am doing this but here goes...here are a couple of terrible and horribly unflattering before pictures that were taken over the past year...and then here are some current pics I took today.  It makes me very happy that I have decided to change my lifestyle...but also shows my how much work I need to do!

So I hope no one rags on me for putting these up..it takes courage.  But I think that by putting it out there, I will be encouraged to never go back.  This new lifestyle is going to be a permanent change.  And this is very pathetic, but I realized today that this is the longest I have gone without alcohol in 6 years...crazy!  Hopefully, eliminating alcohol from diet will be the ticket I need for success...so far so good!
