Presidential Debate while working out.

Last night I was having a hard time getting up to go to the gym because I was watching the presidential debate. I am not a political person at all but thought it was interesting what each of them were saying and could not get myself to get up and go. Then I remembered that I could steam KSL radio through my phone and listen to it so I jumped up and went. It was a leg day and I killed my legs and then did some cardio. It was a good workout, not as hard of cardio as I have done recently but still good.

Best workout so far!

Tonight I kicked my butt. I went to the gym around 8ish pm and immediately got on the elliptical. My legs felt real good today and could have gone longer but I had the intensity too high at the end so my heart was racing! I put in 35 minutes on the elliptical, about 3.8 miles and 705 calories! I then went and jumped on the stationary bike and rode 7.5 miles in just 25 minutes approx and that included a cool down just like on the elliptical. I feel great tonight and as I lie here in bed I can't stop thinking how proud I am of the work I have put in! I know that this is going to be a long journey and a lifetime of change and commitment but I can and will do it! As for my diet today I did pretty good. I forgot to get up and eat breakfast but for lunch I got a subway sandwich with no cheese and for dinner I had 3 eggs, toast with homeade strawberry jelly and a cup of canteloupe.

Yesterday was a pretty good day for me with getting my life back. I have decided that I need to go grocery shopping real bad because there is not much in our ho use right now! That makes it real hard to eat healthy. Yesterday morning I had a banana and a string cheese, for lunch turkey on a Chibatta bun and an apple and for dinner chicken and rice that Shaileen made. I could have been better but it was pretty good. Last night I made it to the gym too. I was struggling through the first 10 or so minutes on the elliptical but after that I hit my second wind. I did 3.2 miles in 30 minutes and burned about 600 calories with a 5 minute cool down. I also did a bunch of ab gut exercises too. I ended up being there for about an hour or so. I woke up this morning and I am down 8.4 lbs since Monday night! I hope I can keep it up and when that plateau comes I wnat to have the will power to work through it! I CAN DO IT!
