14 Day Challenge: Day 2

Whew, I'm spent!!!!! The hardest part of this challenge is getting up early in the morning to work out. Not sure how I'm going to feel when that alarm goes off tomorrow morning...

My body wasn't feeling too hot this morning after boot camp last night, so I took it easy and just did 30 minutes on the elliptical, level 8, heart rate around 150.

I really want to go to sleep so my food information won't be as detailed as yesterday. I pretty much ate the same stuff today except for dinner I had some whole wheat spaghetti with plain Ragu, and post-workout I had a bowl of Kashi Heart to Heart Cinnamon cereal. Once again, I logged all of my food at The Daily Plate. I wish there was a way to import/share my daily logs from the site!

My totals for the day are:
1,354 calories
32 grams fat
190 grams carbs (I know this sounds like a ton but my RDA is 197 grams)
37 grams fiber
94 grams protein

I was definitely feeling the energy from my whole wheat pasta for my work out. First I did the recommended strength training for today, 2 sets of:

20 squats (piece of cake thanks to boot camp!!!)
20 step ups (did these on an adjustable platform the gym has with 25 lbs resistance)
15 calf raises (did on machine with 65 pounds. Didn't really feel it with the machine the way you do with dumbbells...)
40 bicycle crunches
20 lifting crunches - did a variation of these to incorporate the lower abs.

Then I did cardio like a crazy person. 25 minutes on the Stairmill, Fat Burner program setting, Level 8. I was sweating like a mo fo. Haha, seriously, I don't know how else to put that! There was a layer of water all over me and I was dripping from head to toe. I finally couldn't take it anymore and finished up by running 1 mile on the treadmill (10:20 minutes), because at least with running, the fast pace keeps my mind off the sweating! Post-workout shower felt so darn good tonight.

Well, I really have to get some sleep, I'm exhausted and so is my body! I think I'm going to just do a swim tomorrow morning, if I even wake up...hope so!
