Today Ava and I went on a lunch date and shopping trip with Grandpa Phil, Cousin Lily, Aunt Kristine and Uncle Nick. We went to one of my favorite places to eat... Souper!Salad!... it is an all you can eat salad and soup bar plus other goodies but I was good and stayed away from them. I had a large salad without dressing... used cottage cheese as my dressing. I also had a bowl of vegetable beef soup it was really good and felt wonderful on the cold day... unfortunately my 4 glasses of ice water kind of counteracted the warmth. Other then that I haven't been hungry at all... my appetite is shot. I need to get back to eating every 2 hours. I've drank my gallon of water today... really easy to do since I chugged those 4 big glasses of water with lunch.
So, I take a variety of supplements in the morning and am thinking about adding 500 mg of Green Tea Extract to the mix as a fat burner. We will see if it helps any. I already take a joint support, multivitamin, vitamin D, vitamin C, fish oil, plus my normal meds... so adding one more supplement in the morning won't be too hard.
I went to the gym this morning but had to just do a short workout because I got a late start because Ben was doing his workout this morning and had to be back in time for lunch. I did 15 minutes on the elliptical... 10 minutes on level 18, 4 minutes on level 17 and 1 minute on level 19. Then I did some strength training. I did 3 sets of 12 on the chest press, 3 sets of 12 on the calf raise machine, 3 sets of 12 on the low back extendor machine, 3 sets of 12 on a stupid not effective at all ab machine will never use it again and I was finally was able to do 3 sets of 12 on the kick my butt weighted ab machine!!!! Pretty good workout... I was sweating at the end. I just wish that I could have done the treadmill today but oh well that is life.
I've done really good on all of my goals this week... worked out everyday except Sunday and I drank a gallon or more of water a day. This weeks goals are the same as last week. Should be pretty simple. I need to start thinking of more goals.
Ben has been doing his own transformation the past couple of weeks and is doing really good at it. Can I just say it has helped a lot to have him eating healthy along with me. He is inspiring me to keep going forward. We both still crave the unhealthy foods but with both of us on a journey we are less likely to give into those cravings and order pizza or Romio's. Such a big help! I'm very proud of him!!!
Let the lbs melt!!!
