Vaca Prep - Day 2!

Tuesday, July 24, 2012

Today, I've worked from home, other than I had to run afew errands. I always feel like when you're home, you are constantly wandering into the kitchen... or at least I am! Anyway, here is what I've eaten today..

Food

For breakfast, I had black tea, 2 eggs, greek yogurt with strawberries & blueberries, small piece of zucchini bread with fake butter.

Then for a snack, a handful of almonds.

Lunch, salad. Similar to yesterdays salad - spinach, blush vinagrette dressing, almonds, feta, strawberries, red onion, and this time I added mandarin oranges.

Then I've already had 2 snacks this afternoon.. I guess the extra workouts are making me hungry - upping my metabolism even more.

First I had another small slice of zucchini bread. - Really don't want to let this go to waste before we leave on Thursday evening. Too good to pass up! Um... anyone else like ice in your milk?? That is the only way I like it. It has to be super cold.

Later on I had a serving of animal crackers & cut up strawberries with another small glass of milk. (with ice, duh).

Tonight we are going out to dinner with a Jason's salesman & his wife. So my plan is to order something healthy & hold off on the cocktails for tonight :)

Now for exercise....

Workouts

I started the morning off by taking Kobe for a run after breakfast. He LOVES going for runs. He seriously can tell when I have workout clothes on, then once I say the word 'run' he freaks out.

He's a good running partner. I try to run in the grass most of the time with him, today we went somewhere around 1.5 or 2 miles. Then at the end of the run he ofcourse had to get into the creek to cool off.

My other workout for the day was this:

Another great workout from Bodyrock. This one had 18 rounds of 45 seconds intense work, followed by 5 seconds of rest. It's super intense interval training & it's amazing.

So far so good with my vaca prep! Tomorrow one of my workouts will be Zumba class, it's always good to change things up! What's your favorite workout??

Vaca Prep - Day 1!

Monday, July 23, 2012

Well, we made it through another Monday! Next Monday will be lovely for me because I will be relaxing here...

Ohhh, Destin, how I've missed you. Ready for some time off with Jason & some great friends. Plus some good reads & some adult bevies!

Anyways, in preperation for our trip, I've decided to really buckle down this week, like I mentioned here. I'm eating healthy all week with NO cheating, and I'm doubling my workouts. Here is how I did today...

Workouts

In my book, Bodyrocking is the only way to go :) These are the workouts I did today.

This...(hello abs ;)

and this...

Both awesome workouts. If you haven't tried Bodyrock, get on it! Seriously you will love it.

Food

For breakfast, I had black tea along with 2 eggs, 1 slice of wheat toast with fake butter, and strawberries & bananas sprinkled with cinnamon.

For a snack, I had a handful of almonds.

Then for lunch, I made a salad with spinach, red onion, feta, and strawberries. Plus a light vinagrette dressing. I typically add walnuts or pecans, but this time it was almonds. This is one of my favorite salads both to order at restaurants or to make myself :)

For an afternoon snack, I had McDonald's oatmeal. I was out all afternoon showing houses/condos, then I had to run to a cleaning job afterwards, so I had to grab something quick. I wish I would have packed something, but hey - oatmeal is always a good choice in my book & it definitely beat the alternative.

For dinner, Jason cooked tonight :) He grilled pork chops & squash. Yum!

So Day 1 has been a success so far, now I plan on relaxing a bit tonight and preparing for the rest of the busy week before vaca. I swear, if you're not busy already, you will be when you schedule vacation. Always!

Peace out lovers, see you tomorrow for my Day 2 recap :)
