14 Day Challenge: Day 4

Went a little off course with my food today, but nothing too horrible and my calories and all that are still in check.

Pre-workout:

1/2 double fiber honey wheat English muffin

1 tbsp Jif reduce fat peanut butter

Breakfast:

1/2 double fiber honey wheat English muffin

1/2 cup Egg Beaters

1 slice Colby Jack cheese

Morning snack:

Gala apple

Lunch:

Butterball turkey burger

1 slice Colby Jack

Spinach

Kaiser Roll

Dinner:

1 Sloppy Joe (took all my willpower to just have ONE!!!)

Baked red potatoes - ate a little more of these than I should have

Treat:

1 cup FF milk

1 chocolate chip cookie (small)

I realized today that I've only had 3 cookies this whole week. Considering my sugar addiction, that's a huge reduction in sugary treats!!!

I'm going to bed early tonight because I'm really tired. Woke up this morning and did:

2 sets 20 squats

2 sets 40 bicycles

2 sets 20 crunches

2 sets 20 step ups

30 minutes on the Arc Trainer

When I went back this evening with Robin, we tried something new she read about - a staggered workout. I don't know how I feel about it, because I like to sweat it out for a solid session and see my time at the end. But this was still a good mix-it-up workout:

Glute machine, 55 lbs, 2 sets of 12

10 minutes rowing machine

Side crunches with a 10 lb weight, 2 sets of 20

10 minutes arc trainer, Incline 10, Level 10

Tricep press, 2 sets of 12

10 minutes StairMaster, Level 8

Tomorrow is my last early wake up, woo hoo! I made it every morning except Wednesday. I think I'm going to swim tomorrow because I've been doing a lot of heavy leg cardio all week, and the machines are getting a bit boring as the week comes to an end.

I'm going to the Quad Cities to see Nels this weekend, so I won't be able to do a Friday night workout or a double Saturday workout. But we're definitely going jogging around his neighborhood on Saturday!
