Today was day 19 of the 12 week body for life challenge.
My legs are still killing me. I decided to go for a step routine since I missed cardio yesterday. I did about 25% of it and I just couldn't continue. I skipped to the shoulder exercise part and completed it. Then I attempted to do the abs excercise. I was only succesful in completing maybe 70% of it I just feal drained today. Not sure what I'll try tomorrow. Hopefully my legs will be feeling better.
Food:
Breakfast: Granola
Lunch: Black beans and salsa (can salsa count as my vegetable?)
Dinner: Yummy chicken packets and green beans

Day 18
Today was Day 18 of the 12 week body for life challenge.
Well this is the second Sunday in a row that I have not been able to get my Cardio in. Maybe I should move my free day to Sundays. I just need to do it before church but with Jake leaving at 8:45 it is just hard to get out in time.
My legs are killing me today. They are so unbelievably sore. Stairs are painful, sitting down hurts, standing up hurts, climbing over the gates is torterous. I think I overdid it yesterday a little bit. Even if I would have had time for a run I'm not sure my legs would have handled it too well.
Breakfast: Granola
Lunch: Black bean soup and a spinach strawberry kiwi salad
Dinner: Black bean soup and Taquitos
Lot of variety in my diet as you can see.

Day 17
Today was day 17 of the 12 week body for life challenge.
Lower body today. I did my lower body exercises while watching an episode of 24. It was a rough work out I did Lunges for my hamstrings and they really kicked my butt. I really didn't feel good during my workout. My form just felt off, I couldn't keep my balance on the calf raises ect. I ran out of time to do Ab work. I'll throw it in with my Cardio tomorrow.
Food: Breakfast today was my breakfast free day I had froot loop wanna bes. Lunch was my nephews b-day party at Chuckie Cheese. I had a nice plate from the salad bar and two slices of pizza.
Dinner: Dinner was something chicken. Sad but I just can't remember.

Day 16
Today is Day 16 of the 12 week body for Life challenge.
Cardio day today. I went out for a run as soon as Jake got home from work. I was tired of running around the block. So I went for the 2.5 mile loop. I thought it was going to be kinda warm. It wasn't the wind was blowing and it made it rather unpleasant. I didn't take a watch today. I just ran throwing in intervals every so often. It was a good run.
Food: I can't remember too well. Breakfast and Lunch were good stuff. Dinner was Tilapia it was amazing. I am not a fish lover and I loved this recipe. After dinner I ran out to run some errands. I picked up some chocolates and ate more than I should have.

Day 15
Today was day 15 of the 12 week body for life Challenge
I'm finally starting to see the scale move.... just a tad. It is rather frustrating when it doesn't move at all day after day. Now I am down 1 whole big pound.
Today was upper body. I really did not want to work out. The baby was crying, I was running short on time, and I had stayed up too late last night. I had one hundred excuses. Still I did it. I had the baby whining around my feet nearly the whole time. Not a very safe or ideal situation but hey it worked. He was fascinated as I spun and unspun the lock on the barbell over and over and over again. Changing weights between every set is so tedious. It was a good work I worked to failure point on everything but the back. I need to find a better exercise for the back or get some heavier dumbells.
Food:
Breakfast: Granola
Snack: I can't remember but I'm sure I had something
Lunch: Tuna Salad on a bed of Romaine
Snack: Again I'm pretty sure I had something but my mind is mush
Dinner: Chicken Tarragon and green beans This probably wan't too bad on calories the worst ingredient in it was a can of mushroom soup.
After Dinner: We went over to a friends house for some games. That stiking Doritos bag was open right towards me so I over indulged. I also had a cake but it was a low fat reduced sugar cake. It was very good.

Day 14
Today was day 14 of the 12 week body for life challenge.
Two weeks down. I'm starting to see just a little bit of change on the scale. Even a little change is encouraging.
Well today was a day off from exercise. I just did a yoga program to work on some stretching.
Food asi asi
Breakfast: We all had some granola with milk. Yet as I said before it has a lot of sugar in it so I'm not sure how healthy it really is.
Snack: some granola
Lunch: Leftover squash soup. The problem was this didn't fill me up at all so I was left feeling quite hungry. My parents came by to drop off all the cold food they cleared out of their fridge. There was an orange soda in the mix. I drink it right away.
Afternoon snack: cottage cheese
Dinner: Pizza bread sticks soda nothing very redeeming.

Day 13
Today was day 13 of the 12 week Body for Life Challenge
Cardio day. I still haven't been able to drag myself out of bed to the Cardio first thing in the morning as the book suggests. Instead I did a run before dinner. It was cold out but not too windy. I worked through the intervals. It was still just as challenging as last time maybe even a little harder.
I still am not seeing any real change in my weight. I am seeing some loss of inches though. The body fat % seems to jump around a little bit. I'm still getting readings as high as my initial so I'm thinking there hasn't been much change there either. Still I feel better, I feel more fit, less depressed and less tired.
Food: Today was a good food day
Breakfast was a smoothie It was just a mix some tahini, yogurt, orange juice, mango, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. The result was quite good
Morning snack: Another half a cup of the smoothie
Lunch: I used up some leftovers. Some of the terryaki chicken and vegetables from last night. Mixed with the beans from yesterdays lunch and some salsa. I also sneaked in a couple potato chips. They were Lays chips from China and I think they are actually the baked type so a little less bad.
Afternoon snack: We made some granola. It was laden with all kinds of good stuff like wheat germ, oat bran and sesame seeds and a little bit of nuts. Yet it had a whole lot of sugar added too. There was some maple syrup (natural of course), honey, and brown sugar. So I'm not sure if it still qualifies as healthy with all those sugar calories
Dinner: Some butternut squash soup and a little bit of the leftovers from lunch today.
Tonight: I am drinking a soda as I type. I'm just not ready to give this up yet. Maybe that's why I'm not seeing any change on the scale. My goal is just 3 or 4 a week. I don't think I've actually hit that yet.
Tomorrow just some yoga. I am looking forward to a day off. Unfortunately my food plans for tomorrow are already being thwarted. We have a dinner engagement of pizza and salad.
