Day 8

What I Ate

 

Oatmeal {120 calories}, Coffee {0} Calories

1/2 Cup Cott. Cheese {100 calories}, 15 Blackberries {31 calories}, 15 Pecan Halves {150 calories}

Veggie Patty {160 calories}, Broccoli {50 calories}

Celery {30 calories}, 4 tablespoons of Natural Peanut Butter {400 calories}

 

Total Caloric Intake: 1041 {209 UNDER my goal}

I am not trying to stay under my goal, it is just happening. I never feel too hungry {only if I go longer than 4 hours between meals} but I am not starving myself. If it wasn't 11:15pm, I would go eat something right now just because I can. :)

 

Exercise

15 minutes on the elliptical

Shoulders & Back

12 minutes on the treadmill {HIIT Training}

Abs

7 minutes on the bike

{This was a good workout! I was sweating like it was going out of style!}

 

HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. Basically, I start the treadmill at 4.0 and take the first 4 minutes to get to 6.0. Then, I sprint for 30 seconds at 8.5-9.0 and run for 30 seconds at 6.5. I do six sets {6 minutes}. The last 2 minutes are cool down.

 

Weigh In

Today marked one week & I weighed myself {See right side of blog 10.08.2012} and I lost 1.5 lbs this week! If I at least keep that up, I should be down 18 more pounds by the end of the year, totaling 30 pounds lost this year!! I can totally do this!

 

MOTIVATED!

 

Healthy Wishes,

Alex
