So I'm feeling great about today and that's why it's so important for me to plan each day and really follow a schedule.
I had my morning shake at 830am this morning.
Then I did 45 minute step class and it was a doozy today - a new release - it was so fun,the music was great and it was hard. I know that you can burn up to 620 calories in a 1 hour step class so its a great workout. Following step I had a 15 minute break so I had a protein shake and then a 1 hour workout with Rita. She always gets me motivated. Well, she actually damn near killed me today - mostly upper body, I'm surprised I can still type right now. I worked my upper body to fatigue today.
I just finished my lunch and it was my salad plate with chicken, egg whites, chick peas, all colours of peppers, a bit of swiss cheese and carrots. I had a very small handful of those vegetable chips (baby steps). I'm feeling great right now and very proud of myself. Ive had two bottles of water so far today and this time of day is when I start most of my water consumption.
Rita convinced me to change my dinner menu for tonight so I am now making chicken in the oven, quinoa and roasted asparagus and peppers.
We also had a great chat today about ways that people choose to lose weight and why those various ways just don't work. And also how healthy eating really helps with so many other things beside just losing weight. Skin tone, glowing healthy skin, good mood vrs bad mood, energy vrs lethargic. So many benefits to eating clean and exercising. I also re read Oxygens Off the Couch magazine cover to cover last night in bed - the one with Rita on the cover. There are so many inspiring stories in there of real women and how they overcame their unhealthy eating battle and how amazing they look now. Its such a great magazine and really helps me be motivated.
So I'm feeling great about today and already planning tomorrow. I have an hour with Rita again tomorrow so I need to start thinking about meals.
