Measure it out....

Hola Amigos!

So yesterday I didn't wake up early enough to have eaten all my meals.  I ate 4 out of 5 of them (remember Wednesday was a few drinks and staying out too late as a last hurrah....) But I took pictures of all the meals I ate so I could share!  My previous post shows the eggs and oatmeal I had for breakfast.  I spent last night grilling up a few chicken breast and measuring them out in 4oz. amounts and after I cooked 3 chicken breast I ended up with 5 portions.  And I steamed up some green beans today to measure out.  And this has been the only pre-prep I've done so far.  So without further adieu here are my super duper culinary skills!  

Protein powder, flax oil and raspberries
Pretty dang yummy!
and BOOMER SOONER :)

Prepping my green beans

Chicken Breast with Chicken
Mrs. Dash seasoning and 3/4 cup green beans
BOOM!

1 cup Greek Yogurt, ground Chia seeds
and blueberries
again, another yummy treat!

And it took me two days my
first try but I finally finished my
gallon of water.....and I woke
up 3 times that night!

Today I also did my cardio, a treadmill workout that was very interesting.  There were intervals of running, walking lunges and walking and the incline went from 1-8 for 45 minutes.  I consider myself to be a coordinated person but the past two cardio session have given me moments where I have no idea what my body is doing.  Here's a little info about me, I have gym nightmares.  It sounds crazy but there are some things I do not EVER want to happen to me at a gym and falling off a treadmill ranks pretty dang high.  But no worries my friends I stayed on the treadmill during my walking lunges but I had to drop the speed down from what was suggested.  I just don't fel comfortable yet lunging at the 1.6 speed that I started at and I could feel the edge of the treadmill behind me so I dropped the speed down to 1.1.  I was trying to focus on pushing up through the heel and engaging my glutes but I think that will get better with time.  I haven't decided what I will do for my 4 training sessions and the cardio has made me tired enough that the rest of the day for the past two days I haven't felt like training afterwards but I'm going to make a plan for those days so there isn't any last minute deciding at the gym on what my workout will be.  I need to sign back up for crossfit this week so I can get a good 3 days workout and build a training session for the 4th day on my own.  Once I get in a rhythm of a workout schedule I will post what a normal week looks like for me.  Till then I gotta eat down my chicken and green beans, finish the last half of my gallon of water and continue my eating every 3 hours.  I hope everyone is having a great day/night wherever you are in the world and if things aren't going your way I hope they will be soon!

Cheers!
