Day 4...Feeling Great!

It is day 4 of my commitment to eat eat clean and lift weights for one month! I am feeling pretty awesome! Energy level is up and taste buds are adjusting and i am discovering already I don't miss diet coke and coffee is not so great! Really enjoying lemon water, a little green tea and my newest discovery....dark chocolate almond milk by Silk! It is loaded with antioxidants and has double the calcium of dairy milk! Definitly a plus as my sweet tooth was missing my chocolate fix!

Meal wise today....

Breakfast....cantaloupe, vanilla almond milk, and cheerios.

Lunch....was egg salad made with olive oil mayo...yummy...was in a hurry so I didn't get to make it all pretty....

Dinner...This was my yummy today...chicken breast, broccoli, onions, tomatoes and feta cooked in safflower oil. (Veggies were added after the chicken was almost done so they were just warmed, not cooked)..and a sweet potatoe baked sprinkled with cinnamon!

My only snack today was my dark chocolate almond milk...

One thing I do see is I have got to get more snacks in....working on how to make that happen. Honestly I am not hungry drinking a gallon of lemon water a day! But working on how to make it happen...I also think I am going to get my run in in the mornings before it gets so hot and then go the gym in the afternoon to lift...

Todays workout....

Legs/glutes

3 sets/12 reps

Squats with smith rack
Lunges with smith rack
leg press
calve press

I know the weights were short today, but it was heavy for me...felt that sweet burn...I also had a 5 year old to pick up from child watch...

My run was awesome .... 6 miles in 1 hour and then another 2.25 miles walking with my 14 year on the trails....this was the first time I had been able to get her out there, so it was cool to get to hang out with her and so worth the shorter leg workout! I will always have time for the gym, but my time with my daughter is limited before she will leave home....she comes first!
