Day 20

Good morning!  I am still feeling a little tired from staying up late Saturday night and having a long drive home but I am ready to workout hard today.  I have to do my 5 Factor lifting of course and I am going to go running, which I haven't done in a while so that should be interesting.  I love that we all have off today for the holiday an that I get to spend some time with my 2 favorite people.  RAVENS are going to the Superbowl!!!!!!  Hell yea!!!!! 

Day 20

Motivation for the day:

Breakfast

1 whole wheat low- fat waffle with 1 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter & a drizzle of honey, 1 soy breakfast patty with hot sauce, 1 cup of coffee with 2 tbsp sugar- free creamer, sparkling water

Exercise for the day:

So my daughter (she's 6) decided that she wanted to go with me for her first run...ever.  I thought that this was going to be a disaster but she did really well.  We went for 20 mins total...she ran for 10 minutes at a really good pace.  The other 10 minutes I ran while carrying her...which by the way, was an amazing workout (she weighs 50lbs).  I was very proud of her for wanting to do it in the 1st place.  It made me feel like we are setting a great example for her by leading healthy lives...It made my day : )  And the best part is...she wants to do it again!  SO we went home and I left her with dad after her run and I ran for another 15 mins...feeling great!

 

Run (   35 mins total  ), 5 Factor week 3 level 1 Monday workout (45 db chest flys with 15lb dbs, 45 db tap swats with 15 lb dbs, 80 upper- body crunches) This is the 1st time I did flys with 15lb dbs and seriously my arms were quivering in the shower!

 

 Lunch

vegetarian black bean burger patty on a plain rice cake with hot sauce and 1 slice fat free pepperjack cheese, 1 non- fat peach yogurt with 1/8 cup blueberries, 1 serv (20) pretzels, sparkling water

Afternoon Snack

1.5 homemade ginger bread cookies made without added sugar and a baked mini chocolate donut with sprinkles (Marly & Jon were making donuts with Marly's donut maker she got for christmas and I lacked the ability to say no.  Feeling a little guilty about my snack today..it is unhealthiest thing that I have eaten in 20 days...but everyone's human I suppose and we made our mini donuts with fat free milk so it was under 105 calories....okay I have to get over myself..I worked out hard today and one mini dessert is not going to kill me).  But I am posting this to hold myself accountable.

After eating this unhealthy snack I was motivated to burn it off ...so I jumped on my elliptical, put it on resistance level 10 for 10 minutes and I burned 235 calories.

 

Dinner

 Talapia filet, roasted tomatoes, & homemade portioned mashed potatoes, & sparkling water

After dinner Snack:

2 pickles, 25 goldfish (1/2 serv), 15 cheese- its (1/2 serv), 10 pretzels (1/2 serv), 5 sugar- free hard candies, & sparkling water

 

I am going to weigh in tomorrow morning but I hope that the sodium in my snacks tonight do not negatively effect my weigh in...but they may...we will see.
