Day 10....Whatever it takes

A person I am blessed to call a FB friend posted a blog recently entitled "Whatever It Takes". I read that blog and really thought about just what I want and what I am willing to do to get where I want to be. I took it as a challenge to be committed to doing whatever it takes to get where you want to be, realizing that is different for each of us. For me what ever it takes has become my motto when I want to cut a run short, go light at the gym or have that piece of cheesecake or diet coke....I am going to do whatever it takes to get where I want to be fitness wise. That means getting up and running early and hitting the gym daily. It means eating clean and saying no to some of my favs along the way...but for now that is what it takes and that is what I will do!

Now on to the day....I ran 5 miles this morning in 58 mins and walked another 3 this afternoon in 42 min...the walk wasn't planned, but a call I needed to take and be able to talk alone led to a long walk!

Weights was bicepts and tricepts today....
Bicepts: pulley curls, incline curls, bicept curls (all weights went up!)
Tricpts: Tricept press, dips, tricept extensions

I did 10 minutes of streaching at the end.

I love seeing that I am getting stronger as the weights get easier!

Nutrition wise (sorry no photos of meals....phone didn't save them!)

Breakfast....blueberry oatmeal, banana, coffee

Lunch...left over chicken and stirfry with brown rice

Dinner...eggwhite omlette...3 egg whites, mushrooms, brocoli, onion, tomato and feta

Snacks...Whole wheat crackers with all natural peanutbutter
