Day 6 of 10: Video Post

I really enjoyed doing the video post yesterday, so I thought I would do it again.  (Less typing, ha!)

 Breakfast: Raisin Bran (i left the house without grabbing the banana, ha)

Lunch: This was my lunch minus the strawberries (yes, I am reposting last nights dinner photo, hehe)

Dinner: Chicken Tortilla Soup, Organic Green Beans, & Whole wheat roll.

See ya tomorrow, Day 7!

Day 4: Not as successful

In general, Sunday's are not the most productive day for me.  After going to church and eating lunch, it's usually a smooth sailing, relaxing day.  So, I must admit, I did not "workout" yesterday.  I did, however, eat 3 great meals and even grocery shopped for lots of yummy fruits & veggies from Aldi.  It was also our first day of doing our taxes, so that is enough of a mind workout. LoL.

For dinner I made an AMAZING Chicken Tortilla Soup that Rebekah w/ Tirzah Photography told me about.  You can read my blog post about that here.

Breakfast: Blueberry bagel & bananas

 Lunch: Salad topped w/ red, yellow, & orange peppers and balsamic dressings, and a bowl of oranges and strawberries! Mmmmm.  All fruits and veggies.

Dinner: Chicken Tortilla Soup topped w/ avocado, cheese, and sour cream.  Here is the recipe.

Personal Challenge: Day 3 of 10

Here I am at Day 3.  So far I have eaten and documented 9 meals, worked out 3 times and guzzled lots of water.  I feel great and I'm feeling motivated to follow through with my little challenge.

Yesterday was a very rainy and cozy day.  TJ worked on his guitar pedalboard and I blogged, made us a waffle lunch, and made some yummy Lacy Oatmeal cookies (recipe here).  For dinner we were invited over to Jamison & Mallory's house (my brother and sister in-law) along with all of the family for a spaghetti dinner.  It was amazing!  Both Mallory and Alisha are running a marathon in April, and they needed to eat a pasta dinner in preparation for their Sunday training of 18 miles!! Yikes.  I can't imagine running 18 miles, but I am so proud of them!

We ended up getting home late last night and I had still not worked out.  I so wanted to just ignore it and get in bed.  But, I decided to do sit-ups.  I did 6 different sets of 20.  Something is better than nothing...can I get an amen?! :-)

Here is a photo of Mallory & Alisha today after their 18 mile run. Thankfully it didn't rain!

Breakfast: Raisin bran, bananas, & strawberries

 Lunch: Waffles (made from Trader Joes Pancake Mix - AMAZING) & scrambled eggs 

(I forgot to take a photo before I started eating)

Dinner: Spaghetti, Salad, & garlic bread

Bon Voyage, Day 3.  Hello, Day 4!

Day 1 of 10

Day 1 has come to an end.  The eating part was easy, but the work out part was, um....lets just say I waited to the last minute of the day.  Not so much because I did not want to, but because I got caught up with some photo work and I watched a documentary this afternoon ("Who killed the Electric Car").  I ended up working out around 8pm.  On Netflix I found this 38 minute workout by "SELF".  It incorporated cardio, light weights, and plyo.  I did about 30 minutes of it. :-)  Small beginnings. haha.  Needless to say, I felt it and I know I will feel it tomorrow.

What I ate today

Whole Wheat Bagel, Strawberries, & Mandrin Oranges

Pasta w/ Pesto, Pizza, & Salad w/ Balsamic Vinegar

 Soft Tacos w/ Black beans & Rice, & Strawberrys

To top it all off......Mint Chocolate Chip Icecream. :-)

How much water I drank (and a little video)

I drank about 72 ounces today.  I could have done better.  But, again, it was only Day 1.

All in all, I think Day 1 went well.  Here's to Day 2!
