Day 3

Had the All Mixed up Smoothie and it was quite tasty, even though it was chunky. it was like i was drinking a salad, really.

my legs weren't as sore so i was able to make it to the gym where i did the cardio workout Amanda suggested. it was AWESOME! i really like the interval work out b/c it's easy for me to see that in one more minute it'll change and i can get a "break". i did it on the elliptical, so i'm going to the gym again on friday to do the same cardio, but on a different machine. i'm pumped to get healthy and lose WEIGHT!

my immediate goal is to be able to button, comfortably, my black pants i had on yesterday. boy were they uncomfortable and i got sore red spots on my legs from taking them down to pee so much. i only have 3 pair of work pants that fit right now and i don't want to be buying anymore at this size.

i'm keeping at 60 oz of water a day which is twice what amanda told me to do, but it's doable for me. when i have a goal set before me, i usually make it so it's good that i have a trainer, i think.

for lunch i had a salad and for dinner... YUM! salad of course, fake chikn breast, fried zucchini/squash/onions (in olive oil) and corn on the cob. it felt good to eat so much and i didn't put butter on my corn like i usually do. surprise! it was still good!

Day 2

Day 2

I loved the sweet lettuce smoothie for breakfast. much more liquidy and not as much to drink (about half of the one the day before)

My legs were worse than the day before. giant charlie horses and i was still walking like a old lady robot. i do think the epsom salt baths are finally helping. i hope i'm putting enough in my bath to make a difference.

at lunch i had soup and salad with my mom at mac n bobs and for dinner was a big salad, salmon and rice.

i'm hoping that i won't be this sore every time. i can't imagine working out monday AND tuesday of next week. i'm going to be miserable. i

i'm auditioning for a play on saturday. i hope my morning workout with amanda won't make me so sore i look awful on stage .haha.

Get the Balance Right

I started seeing a personal trainer this week. i'm going to post what i journal about on my trainer's message board for all to see!

Day 1 (Sept 29, 2009): My Legs HURT and i can hardly walk today due to the dead lifts and squats from yesterday. I tried the tropical Tango Smoothie and learned that i need to liquefy my smoothies more b/c it was REALLY chunky. I did the salad before lunch and dinner. actually my salad was my lunch with nothing else. the salad at dinner def curbed my appetite and i only ate 2 pieces of pizza (small pieces at that). That's what we had in the freezer so that's what we ate.

i had some snacks during work. mostly nuts and a string cheese. i wanted to go to the gym to do cardio but my legs were SO bad i couldn't even think about walking much less doing anything else.

i started the candex last night as well and haven't had any problems with it. i took my multi vitamin along with my cal/mag/zinc pills, 1000mg of C, 400eu of E (for breast soreness and thyroid function), and a Selenium pill (for thyroid function... i may discontinue this as it has yeast in it).

overall it was a good day!
