Day 34: Last day of Core Cardio & Balance

Last day!!!  O__O

Month 2 starts in 2 days.  I'm nervous and excited.  I can see a change in my body.

Then I eat.

Then it's gone.

LOL, not really, but my stomach sure does like to expand!  I think my arms and shoulders are looking good.  My thighs and legs look more toned.  4-pack kind of showing when I wake up!  Then I eat.  Then it's gone.  f(^o^;)


Core Cardio & Balance notes


WHOA.  Workout was a little tough and a little slow today.  Body's fatigued from yesterday's gym workout.  Thighs feel a bit heavy.  I took some videos.  Yes!  Multiple videos.  My baby bro came and started watching me (you can see me talk to him).  Then I started laughing at times... threw me off my game!

Anyways... enjoy!  It's been a while!

Exercise:  Warm-up stretches.  Short video.  Short segment on stretching.




Exercise:  4 right leg hops, 4 left leg hops, repeat; 8 jabs and hop to the other side, repeat; followed by... dun dun DUN!  Hip Flexor Burners (the ones I always talk about) ~ 30 seconds of hip flexion + 30 seconds of isometric hip flexion with pulses + 30 seconds of hip flexion with leg extensions!!!  Repeat on other side.



Exercise:  Standing obliques ~ same-side elbow to knee touches; Shoulder Burners ~ in sumo/plie squat while holding arms in 180 the entire time ~ 30 sec of "flapping" + 30 sec abdominal crunches with arm flys (open and close) + 30 sec overhead touches + 30 sec backward arm circles + 30 sec forward arm circles


My thighs were dying in this one!

Souplantation now!

Day 33: Meals and actually baking!

Real quick cause I got a lot of backlog to update!

Breakfast:  Microwave + croissant!

Food:  1 croissant (115 kcal)

Calories:  115 kcal

Yay a picture!  Finally!  Not being lazy lunch and onwards.  Lunch today was at Marie Callendar's!  O__O  TONS of calories O__O  TONS!

Lunch:  LOTS and lots of calories.  Marie Callendar's famous chicken pot pie and delicious corn-bread!

Food:  1/3 chicken pot pie (442 kcal) and 1/2 serving cornbread (638 kcal)

Calories:  1080 kcal
I'm so serious about the calories.

Look at the nutritional facts!  O__O  1370 calories for an entire pot pie!  And 1275 calories for a "serving" of cornbread!  Not even a full tin!    I was wondering why I was getting so full just eating the corn bread.

Big reminder.  Always read/check your labels.  O_O  ALWAYS!

Then it was off to school and workout times!!!

By the time I arrived home... I was still full!  O__O

So for "dinner" I decided to snack a bit.

Snack #1:  Dan Active probiotics drinks!


Food:  1 blueberry probiotic drink (70 kcal)


Calories so far:  1150 kcal

Seriously one of my favorite drinks.  I usually have one before work cause it's light.  Drank this before Insanity tonight.
Check it out!  Baked kale chips!  Got the idea from my friend Tiffy and the recipe from http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/03/baked-kale-chips/.  My aunt and I devoured the entire sheet!  Ate these after Insanity.

Snack #2:  Baked kale chips

Food:  6 oz. kale (~30 kcal), 1 tsp olive oil (60 kcal), 2 pinches sea salt

Calories so far:  1240 kcal

Yups!!!

Good times!  Making more kale chips tomorrow!
