My 26th Birthday


Today I woke up to my usual 16 oz. Ice Cold Lemon Water (yes, even in the winter!) which helps my liver continue to detox and a "shot in the dark" or brewed coffee with a shot of espresso in it! Delicious!

I grabbed my brand new heart rate monitor to do Intervals. I walk briskly trying to stay around 60% for 2 minutes then run, getting to 80%, for 1 minute. I repeat this pattern for 15 minutes. Then, today I did workout #1: a)10 squats w 40 pounds, b) 10 pushups, c) 30 second plank - 3 rounds. This workout lasted about 30 minutes.

My diet today was alright - Sam's brother (or his wife) had their baby today unexpectedly. Needless to say, I was at the hospital all day so I had a chic-fil-a chicken salad for lunch and then the dry-rub ribs at Chili's tonight for dinner with broccoli and side salad. I'd say I did pretty good considering the circumstances of having to eat out. I even resisted a Chocolate Molten Cake sitting right in front of me at dinner. It honestly really wasn't that bad. My incentive was being able to right in my blog that I did RESIST one of the best tasting deserts around.

Tomorrow I hope to post something yummy to cook for dinner! Eating out is not much fun anymore when I can create something delicious right in my own kitchen! I hope to post many great healthy recipes. The picture above shows the basic diet I abide by. There are many great resources out there to help transition.
