Wowzers!

True morning weight 171...wowzers, i'm on my way. My goal is to be below 170 by the end of the week.
Ate great today. water-1c. Ezekiel raisin branish type cereal with 1/2 c almond milk (satisfying) for lunch large veggie salad w/ lowfat dressing and a hot green tea-water-Banana before workout-water-total 600 cal

good thing I kept the calories low the first half of the day because hubby picked me up a rather large Parillo Grill burrito BBQ chicken, with black beans, veggie salsa, corn, and brown rice, in a tortilla, for after workout dinner so here is my best guess on calories
BBQ sauce 100c
chicken 150c
salsa 50c
corn 100c
Black Beans 150c
brown rice 200c
tortilla 200c
=950c+600c=1550c which is still in my calorie range YAY!!!

After 4 days of being sick I did not push too hard today...plus miss monthly is probably coming for a visit tomorrow.
Sara did Pilates which I was supposed to attend but flaked out due to stuff at home. But Sara and I did 45 minutes of cardio and a full session of resistance training for the whole body including core. Watch out bitches because Sara is lookin' hot she could already win the challenge. My body is changing quite a bit as well but I have much farther to go. I am just so excited about the increased energy, clearer thinking, no midday slump, and less pain (still no painkillers in 2 weeks THIS ALONE IS A MIRACLE FOR ME) that the losing weight and toning is just a bonus. Today I fit into one smaller pant size.

Since eliminating dairy I am way less bloated. Since practically cutting out simple sugars and caffeine...much better mood and energy. It is true what they have been telling us for years it is ALL about diet and exercise. Water, sleep, vitamins and a balanced happy life is also part of it but I am sure you get the idea.

I am being hindered a bit by neck and shoulder pain along with fear of another hernia but I think as long as I do not push myself too hard I will get over it and build strength. Tonight I feel I may have pulled the tummy a little...it hurts.
Overall I give the day an A.
til tomorrow
