Day 47 of 90

Saying no never feels as good as when you are focussed on what you want to achieve.

Today's Workout: Workout 8

I do love this workout.  I love how concentrated the exercise movements are.  Strong, controlled movements, with no overwhelming cardio.  I sweat, I swear;  it's a good workout.  I used all of my weights here (3lb, 5lb, 7lb), plus the resistance cable.  I did not ever have to modify down, but I was able to modify UP for a few of the moves.  Weighted Warriors (3lb) I did presses with my arms while holding.  Final circuit chest presses and flies I pulled my legs up when I contracted my arms (7lbs).  I feel a tad sore today, but usually feel it the next day after a good rest.

In addition to the Jillian Michael workout, I took a walk to the park with a friend and her daughter who is William's age.  They both attended the same daycare as babies, and remain close friends.  Lovely!  It was nice to sit and chat while the kids played.

In terms of meals, today was a lot (a whole lot) similar to yesterday's.  Same breakfast, modified the lunch by having 1/2 chicken salad sandwich and a cup of pea soup with smoked ham.  For snack I enjoyed a mixed berry protein shake, then I held myself off until dinner.  Tonight we took the kids to Boston Pizza for having a great week at school and a great night with grandma and grandpa last night while we attended the party.  I had a few wings as an app, we all shared those.  And for dinner I ordered off of their healthy menu, the Pollo Pomodoro Linguini.  It was a perfect serving size of whole wheat pasta and came in at 510 cals.  Very reasonable.  So, while I could have ordered something else, tastier with more cals, it is very satisfying to fill up on a healthier dish.  In addition, after looking at the dessert menu and drooling over the options (cheesecake, chocolate eruption, brownies....) I said no.  I said no because getting to a healthier me is more important than indulging.

Right?  Right!!

Bring on the cardio tomorrow, then a rest day, and that will conclude my Phase 2.  Results will be published either on Tues or on Weds morning!

Nighty night,
