Food and Workout Journal for Monday, May 26, 2008

Okay, so it's Memorial Day. We did all of our family stuff Saturday and Sunday, and now we are back in our own house detoxing. As much as we love our families, it's dysfunction junction all of the way! I'm always happy to get back to the sanity of my own home.

WORKOUT: The FIRM Aerobic Body Shaping with Allie Del Rio (TransFIRMer Series - BSS4). This is one of my all-time favorite workouts! I haven't done it for so long and held off doing it because I thought it might be too advanced. Actually, it was just perfect. I still use a 12" box for leg press and tall box climbs, but I don't think that will ever change.

Food and Workout Journal for January 18, 2008

7:50 a.m.: 1/2 of a very dry, styrofoam-tasting bagel w/tiny bit tasteless cream cheese from Cleveland Cafe. I'm DONE going there. That was just shameful. I also had a tiny bit of apple juice.

12:00 p.m.: Lunch at Scorchers with Susan: Grilled chicken pita with peppers, onions, and mozzarella cheese; French fries (ummm....the whole serving), diet coke

7:30 p.m.: 1/2 ham, cheese, and mustard sandwich on wheat bun, 4 honey-wheat pretzels, 1 mint "Oreo," 1/2 banana

WORKOUT: The FIRM BBS Maximum Cardio Burn Plus Abs with Allie Del Rio - had a nice, sweaty workout tonight, but I was pretty worn out afterwards. I did a lot of the beginner modifications (i.e., used the 6" step instead of the 8", didn't participate in the hop-fest, and of course I used my 12" tall box instead of the 14" fanny lifter. I'm not about to kill myself.). Also, I really started pooping out on a little bit of the standing leg work and more so on the ab work. I don't remember that being so hard. Still, I gave a good, solid effort during 90% of it.

Oh well, my husband and I are going out-of-town tomorrow to visit our families, so I'll have a day off of exercise Saturday (which I think I might need). I'll get back to working out on Sunday (even though that is my usual day off).

Food and Workout Journal for January 15, 2008

6:20 a.m.: 1 whole-wheat English muffin with a little bit of peanut butter, 1 small orange, 1 small glass juice

12:15 p.m.: Champp's with Larry: Southwestern Chicken Caesar Salad (grilled chicken, peppers, corn, and tortilla chip strips on lettuce with side of dressing), 1 garlic bread stick, Diet Coke

4:40 p.m.: 1 Hershey caramel Kiss, 1 Brach's Milk Maid candy

6:00 p.m.: 1 banana, 1 small orange, 1 small apple, 1/2 cup peanuts with shells (well, I didn't eat the shells! But they measured 1/2 cup with the shells on.) Strange "meal," but I wasn't ravenously hungry, and we have a ton of fruit sitting around.

WORKOUT: The FIRM Total Body Toner with Allie Del-Rio Pointer from the TransFIRMation series (add-on workout). This was a really good workout. It's about 40 minutes and Allie is one of the best at cueing, so you know when you can heavy up. Even though it was all weights, it moved fast enough that your heart rate elevates nicely (especially with the compound movements). I know I'll be using this one often.
