Body Revolution Day 64 of 90

Day 64 = Workout 9

Back to the front of the body.  I noticed that some of the people on http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ that are doing Body Revolution, do not like the Crab move...get used to it, because in Phase 3, you will be doing them in Workout 9 with weights on your lap and then Crab Kicks in Cardio 3.  Suck it up People!  <<<That's the inner Jillian in me talking.  You will get stronger and they won't be SO terrible.  Just like every other exercise in Body Revolution, you might not like it first few times through because you find them TOUGH.  But as you move through the Workouts and through the Phases, you'll think to yourself..."hey, these aren't so bad"  OR  you might think to yourself, "that Trina lady is full of SHIT, these still SUCK!"  I will say it again..."the first week of every set of workouts is always the toughest.  You will be sore for the first week and then that soreness will go away until you get into the next set of workouts".  I will let you know tomorrow if this holds true to the second week of Phase 3.

Today's food...

Breakfast: Steel Cut Oats with Maple Syrup, Raspberries & Almonds

I thought I would switch it up today.  You know how much I LOVE my raspberries.  I had some that I needed to use up, so I swapped the apples out for the raspberries.  OH...SO...GOOD!

Variety is key to healthy eating.  If you think you need to eat the same thing for breakfast every morning...you are wrong.  If you find something you like than maybe you would want to eat it everyday, but eventually you may get bored of it.  So change it up!  If you like Steel Cut Oats, try the different toppings.  I started off with apples & pecans, then I tried it with pears & walnuts, now raspberries & almonds(you may see this one again and again and well, again)...maybe blueberries next...we'll see.

Lunch: Roasted Salmon with Pepita & Cumin Seed Crust/Russet Potato Salad with Spinach & Lemon

I finally made the potato salad to go with this salmon dish.  It goes so nicely with the salmon...I guess that's why Jillian paired them up.  I didn't have any Arugula, so I used Baby Spinach instead...see change it up.  The calories worked out about the same.

I will be enjoying another lunch like this later this week. 

I made up 2 servings of the salmon, and 4 servings of the potato salad.

Snack: Chocolate Covered Carrot Cake Pop/Ball

Recipe for these are from the Clean Eating magazine

Dinner: Baja Salad from Wendy's(half size, no dressing, no chips)

Tonight's dinner was supposed to be Beef Stir-Fry with Broccoli & Shiitake Mushrooms.  However, we had to go out to bring the newest member of our family home.  So we grabbed some food on the way home.  Think cleaner options even when you are out.

Everyone meet...Sok

These pictures are from a few weeks back. 

She is fast asleep right now and we are trying to get our other cats acquainted with her.

After Dinner Snack: Baked Garlic Pita Chips
I added this snack in to bring up today's calorie count.


So I am going to stop running on at the mouth now and see how Sok is doing.

Before I go, I will let you know how I made out with...

My Plank Challenge~started at a 2 minute plank~trying to increase a little each day~WHY?~Because I can!

Today's Plank time...

When I do this move, I close my eyes and just vision the abs I am going to have.  It gets easier each time I do them.  My arms start to shake a little later into the hold each time.  I may be up to 3 minutes by the end of the week. 

REMEMBER

You still have time to get in on the Stay Strong! necklace contest. 

For all the details check out this day...

I'm going to relax now and chill out before going to bed.  Workout 10 in the morning...one of my favorites.

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night
