Happy New Year!
I know it's been awhile since my first post, but I (of course) came down with an extreme case of the flu just in time for the new year, so I allowed myself some comfort foods that weren't originally in my sights for my healthier diet.
But being back on track feels good! Here were my meals today:
Breakfast:
Over-easy egg sandwich on whole-wheat english muffin with one slice of mild cheddar (YUM)
Snack 1: 1 Hard-boiled egg and 1 pear
Lunch: Nutri-bullet smoothie! 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, 1 banana, handful of raspberries, handful of blackberries
Dinner: Grilled chicken breast (6 ounces) with baked asparagus (about 8 stalks)
Yesterday I went to the gym for the first time since I'd gotten sick, and actually got a pretty good cardio workout in (despite coughing fits every 30 seconds)! I was surprised to see that it was relatively empty...I was invisioning having to wait in line behind all the New Years "resolutioners"...bonus!
Warmup: 15 minutes of biking, increasing intensity every 3 minutes
Workout: Run/Jog/Walk/Jog/Run on treadmill for 20 minutes, switch every 2 minutes
Abs: (Every exercise was done x20 or for 30 seconds) Decline bicycle kicks, Leg lifts, Reverse Crunches, forearm plank, full plank (on hands)
Cool down (sorta): 20 minute elliptical (while watching Friends...such a good end to a workout!)
Today I was feeling good and ready to head back to the gym for a more lifting-based workout, but remembered that I left my ID in John's car, grrr. After a minute-long angry face I took some layers off and settled for an Intensity workout on my living room floor. My abs are yelling at me already! That Shaun T really knows how to kick my ass!
Well, have a good evening! I personally plan on going to bed early, I was way too tired for work this morning!
