I just don’t have it in me to do one of Aubrie’s, Danny-J, or Jackie Kay’s workouts this week. I feel off and my legs still hurt from my run on Wednesday.

Yesterday's Eats:
7am - cappuccino shake, 1 med apple
1030am - 1 cup leftover green chili, 2 oz shiritaki noodles**
2pm - spinach 5-white omlette, 1/4 cup salsa, 2 tbsp aB
3:30pm - 2 lemon protein squares
7pm - chicken, spinach, vinegar

**eww. those noodles were disgusting. not only did the taste and smell like week dead fish, but the upset my tummy for the rest of the day too :(

Sexy Body Beater

-->
5 min yoga warm up








+  JR 20 min (10s/40s -- 24 rounds)



Had a couple of not so great eating days this week so I am going to jump right into a low calorie cycle for a couple of days to make up for it. I’d much rather do this than do extra cardio. Fri-Sun I’m going to stay around 12o0 calories per day. After this reset, I will go back to my regular food intake! This will be reflected in tomorrow’s post since today’s post show’s yesterday’s eats.

In other news I’ve been practicing my double unders (jump rope) and they’re coming along nicely. I can do one every 3-4 jump somewhat consistently. They use these a lot in crossfit workouts so I’m really working hard on getting them down.



Yesterday's Eats:

7:40am - cappuccino shake, 1 med apple

11am - chicken, 2 ezekiel bread, 1.5 tbsp aB

1:30pm - 1 can tuna, spinach, vinegar, 1/2 cup raw walnuts

3pm - 3 Lemon Protein Bars (oops)

6pm - steak salad, vinegar, baked potatoes

8:15pm - 1/2 watermelon protein sorbet

I am trying to find a happy medium for my goals here. Although I love the super lean look, I realize that it takes A LOT of effort to maintain. Hence the picture above which I found on theCHIVE website. I think that is do-able without back breaking, take-the-fun-out-life effort. In most people's opinion I have already taken the fun out life by doing what I do but realize that I don't find the same things fun as other people. Frequent/large social occasions just aren't my bag. Food/drink is NOT a source of happiness for me. Food is fuel. My direct source of happiness comes from being the best me I can be.

P.S - My legs are KIIIIILLLLLING me from my run yesterday so this workout involves very little leg action.

Yesterday's Eats:
7:45am - cappuccino shake, 1 med apple
11am - 1 ezekiel bread, beef meatloaf, 1 tbsp aB
2:30pm - 1/2 salmon burger, spinach, vinegar, 1/4 cup seeds
3pm - watermelon protein sorbet
5pm - whey protein, 1 oz organic jerky
7pm - 1.5 cup EC chicken pot Pie
