Day 2

Another fresh start to the day!

Made my mystery tea this morning. I call it a mystery because awhile back I decided to combine all my tea bags (insert joke here) and put them all into a container. Ranges from different flavours of GREEN TEA - peppermint, super berry, blueberry .. etc. While my tea was steeping I focused on abdomen this morning - quick 225 total crunches. 

Prior to the minor abdomen session I weighed myself. Gross. I haven't taken my weight in so long. This morning I'm at 188.6 lb. 

Let's let that sink in. 

I may not look like that weight (or maybe I do) but I know I don't FEEL like that weight. It doesn't matter what I feel like, it is what it is. I can only go down from here. The next 30 days will consist of:

- no junk

- no alcohol/beer/wine

- no eating past 8 and enjoying a ton of flavoured teas. 

This is now the diary of a sober alcoholic. I'm not one to drink everyday but I tend to drink on the weekends and sometimes go overboard. Hence, the constant posts of what day it is. I don't want to psych myself out though or get stressed / overwhelmed - just taking each day as it is. 

Another Tuesday has come and gone and today my co-worker wasn't in. Lucky her being on vacation! Today has been jammed! 

Nutrition (and tons of water)*

Meal 1: small handful of mixed unsalted nuts, cup of blackberries

Meal 2: baby kale salad with ranch dressing and parmesan croutons

Meal 3: (if you even call it a meal) - pre workout and few bites of protein bar

Meal 4: leftovers from last night - chicken, peaches, veggies and basmati + a salad (tender reds, spinach, crumbled vegetable crackers, less than 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and ranch dressing)

Exercise/workout:

Upper body using the machines - LAT Pull down, deltoid fly, seated row at 5 sets of 10

Wish me luck and stay tuned..

UPDATE
All the upper body machines were TAKEN. Oh my goodness - why does this always happen to me? Every woman in that section was using a machine I required for today except the lateral raise. So I started off with that - 3 sets of 10 at 25 lbs.
Then I wanted to move to ANY upper body machine but the ladies were taking forever and no one was using the leg machines (with the exception of abduct/adduct) so here was my workout:
3 sets of 10
Leg extension 55 lb
Seated leg curl 55 lb

4 sets of 8
Horizontal calf 130 lb
and again - 150 lb
+ 20 minutes of cardio - stationary bike
