This is my second day of doing Jillian's circuit and I like it!!!! I went on the treadmill for 20 mins and did 4 of the 5 circuits (I think I need 40 mins to do a complete circuit). I am starting to feel it at muscles that I did not know existed.
And today I pushed myself more on the treadmill and on during the circuit - I just envision Jillian screaming at me like she does on the Biggest Loser to go farther than you ever thought possible. That only is worth the $4 a week!!!
I did have slip up a little bit this week - ice cream :(
Wednesday night and Thursday night. I am normally good at keeping the sweet tooth in check. However, I've noticed that since I've started doing Jillian's circuits I am getting hungry based on my normal diet, so I have been hungry during evening.
I don't really see it as a setback, but more as a warning. Making sure I am eating enough. I am doing two 30 minute walks today and trying for my 750 calorie burn today. So I am going to walk 30 mins, do some ab work, and then walk another 30 mins. According to http://www.realage.com/ct/tips/3356 you burn more fat if you break up a long workout. So I'm going to give it a shot.
Keep up your lifestyle and stay well!!!

Yummm and Ummmm
I made something fantastic!!!! I love eating Mexican food (or whatever version of Mexican food I get living this close to the 49th parallel. I wanted to make a baked mexicanny dish and search recipes and I could not find one that I really wanted. So, after reading a few, I put took bits and pieces I liked and made my own dish.
I had it yesterday and today for supper, and it is exactly what I wanted!!! Is it the best tasting dish in the world, but there is something to be said for eating what you want and what you need.
The dish consists of spices bird’s eye chilis, veggies (spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, a little bit of carrots,) beans (black beans, white kidney beans, and some other canned bean, I cannot remember) some tortilla shells, and a little bit of sour cream and avocado at the top. It is so jam packed with veggies with very little cheese (a lot of the recipes called for cheese). Un fortunately, I did not take accurate measurements and take note of what I used in a scientific manner to create a recipe (next time I promise) but I am sure I can duplicate it. I am so pleased with myself.
So today, my mother bought ice cream today. She’s sick, and for some reason, she wanted ice cream. So today when I was studying, I saw her eating it and all I could think was “ummmmmmm, I want some.” Because I woke up late, I had to workout in the evening, and I just finished. I did some intervals on the treadmill and some upper body and core strength training, so I do need a lil post workout snack. So I am eating some vanilla yoghurt and some Kashi Go Lean cereal. If I want some ice cream I might have some, but only after I finish my healthy post-workout snack.
I have a good feeling about Wednesday. I’m a shrinking.

A fell into some whipped cream
First I'll start with the good news. I was down to 199.5 on sunday which I was excited about. I went out for breakfast with my friend, and tried to have a healthy meal. I am not an egg eater, so I had this dish with potatoes, peppers, mushrooms. toast and some egg on the side. I think it was a good choice.
Lunch was fine, but for some reason on the drive home I was just craving chocolate. I ended up going to the grocery store and getting chinese food and a donut filled with whipped cream. We are not going to attempt to guess on the amount of calories and fat that I consumed in one meal. Safe to say, I did not bother weighing myself today. I went into the usually sugar coma (after my stomach felt uber stuffed) and went to bed shortly there after.
I did get on the treadmill today and I had a good breakfast, snack, and lunch. I can feel the affects of my food choices in my feet. Last week, my shoes felt too big and today they feel too small. I don't know if it is retained water or what, but whenever I have too much sugar or salt, I feel it in my extremities.
I am still hopefully that Wednesday will be a success. I am not weighing myself until then.
Stay Well!!
