Day 8

Today was day 8 of the 12 week body for life challenge.

Overall the exercise is going the food part is not going so good. As a result my scale hasn't moved. Yet my body fat % has gone down, I've lost a couple inches and my clothes fit a little better.

Today was lower body training. Worked my Quads hard. I'm having a hard time finding a good hamstring exercise. I can't seem to find one that isolates the hamstrings and is challenging enough to actually feel something. I gave my calves the hardest work out ever. I always thought of those calf exercise as something easy you throw on at the end or in the middle for a breather. Not today I pushed myself hard and was glad when it was done.

Food:
Sigh when will I improve
Breakfast: Oatmeal

Lunch: Sub and a soda

Dinner: Black Bean Salsa Soup I do an adaptation of this recipe. I absolutely love black beans and could eat them every day. I always feel like I'm making healthy choices when I make this. Now I'll have good leftovers for lunch for the next couple days.

My food focus for the next week is working on healthy lunches 6/7 days and increasing vegetables.
