Working with the Girls!

Yesterday I got to work out with the other Moosers for the first time and it was great. Fun and sweat all mixed together ~ good combination. I pushed myself a little harder then I think I normally would have and used heavier weights too ~ had to keep up with the other girls!!

We started out with planks and supergirls - did you know that Erica is faster then a speeding bullet and Missy is more powerful then a locomotive and that Lisa and Christine are able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Yup, those are the girls!!

After that we had 4 stations with 2 exercises at each station. We did each exercise for a minute for 3 rounds (so in case your math is as bad as mine - 6 minutes), then a minute break then on to next station. The stations were: 1) rows and goblet squats with 20 lb weight, 2) kettlebell swings (not sure of weight) and wall sits (ouch!!), 3) wood chops with 25 lbs disc and step ups with 10 lbs weights in each hand, 4) kettlebell deadlift, not sure of weight but was a heavy one and push press with 15 lb weight in each hand. MY LEGS WERE ON FIRE!! Especially the top front part. It was a tough workout and I sweated like a boy! It was great.

As far as food goes it was a good day. Got all my numbers today! Woo hoo me!!
Breakfast: 2 eggs whites (not actual eggs, the kind in carton) scrambled and 1 slice country kitchen wheat toast
Post Workout: Prograde Lean with 1 cup skim milk
Snack: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup strawberries, 6 almonds, mixed together, yummy in my tummy!
Lunch: 2 cups spinach, 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/4 cup fat free mozz. cheese, 3 oz. chicken breast, josephs wheat pita
Snack: Blueberry ChoYo and apple
Dinner: 3 oz ham steak, 1/2 cup broccoli and 2 cups skim milk

Tuesday night I tried parsnips for the first time and they were good so I'll be incorporating that into menu, also can't bring myself to try salsa again right now, the smell of it grosses me out. Maybe down the road. Also, tried eating out for the first time Tuesday afternoon and I have to tell you it sucked! I couldn't find really much on the menu that was healthy and tasty. I ordered grilled chicken which was good and figured 3 oz. with what we learned in MM last Saturday, but instead of mashed potatoes or french fries I asked for extra veggies and I got nastiness! It was boiled broccoli and cauliflower and it was soggy and bland. My lunch I bring to work it so much better, so I'll be sticking with that for now.

Get to workout with the girls again tomorrow. Fun, fun for all - especially Ben!
