End of day 2 and I am feeling it! Here's a break down of my day:
Breakfast: 2 Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Patties, 2 Eggo Nutrigrain Waffles w/ Splenda
Snack: Banana
Lunch: 9 Slices of Oscar Meyer Thin Sliced turkey w/ 1 slice of Kraft Cheese and mustard on a Bagel Thin w/ 1 single serving of Garden Salsa Sun Chips
Dinner: 2 small lean, baked pork chops (Weight Watchers recipe) steamed broccoli and dinner rolls
Snack: Chocolate-Peanut Butter & Banana shake (post workout) - A DELICIOUS Weight Watchers Recipe, a definite must try!
My workout was Week 1 Day 2 of Inferno Standard from www.workoutbox.com
Today's workout began with 2 miles of cardio. Seems simple enough on the surface....however, every 1/2 mile I had to increase the speed. Not trying to "phone it in" as my ex-friend Jillian Michaels used to say, I started at 5.0 and ended at 7.0 mph. Suffice it to say that the other people in the gym thought I either was dying or overly dramatic. Maybe a little of both? :-) Then after some intense arm, chest and shoulder workouts we get to abs. My absolute LEAST favorite of exercises. Today they introduced "weighted" crunches....where you hold a weighted medicine ball over your head and do standard crunches for 40 seconds, twice. Oh-my-stars! This followed by 80 seconds of regular crunches and 25 seconds of alternating Supermans, repeated once. My abs are screamin!! I feel great though...While these workouts are pretty tough...they are no Julie J workouts! LOL. Julie, if you are reading this...I do miss our torture sessions together! You really were an awesome trainer, and are a great friend! (Hey atleast I'm eating more than Special K for breakfast! LOL)
As I was leaving the gym, I was walking down the stairs to the locker room and a young guy was walking up past me. He was probably early 20's, reasonably good looking, very fit, jock-type guy. Well, if you know me, you know I did the double take look back as he passed (well!)...I see that he is wearing a decked out, sequin bedazzled gym bag!! HUH? Really? Hey girl...! LOL. If you can make it work....work it is all I can say! :-)
I was talking to my gal pal Colene today and telling her that while doing my grocery shopping today I saw a lady who was extremely obese (325-350)...she should have been in a scooter, but instead she was hunched over her cart stuffed with bacon, pizza and hostess snacks, trudgin along in the Wal-Mart. I feel for you ma'am, because I know all that weight can't be easy to carry....but ma'am, a word if I may......PUT DOWN THE F'N BACON. I'm just sayin......she actually gave me additional motivation to keep doing what I'm doing....I refuse to be her in 5 years.
Well, that is all I have for day 2. Things are going well and I feel really good about this. I've gotten a great response from everyone and had over 70 views in the past 2 days on my posts!! Keep it up everyone...share with as many people as you can, you can never have enough support!!! :-)
Tomorrow is a new day and day 3! Bring it on. Until then kids....
The one and only,
K
