Ready Set Done

Today I did Pylometrics it is definitely one of my favorites. It makes me sweat to the point my hair goes from straight to curly. I find I like the cardio more than the resistance days, but really need the resistance training badly. I can feel myself getting stronger and stronger every week. I found out today that corn is considered a carb! I had no idea, I absolutely love corn but always seen it as more of a vegetable. Anyhow I had a great workout and am looking forward to tomorrow!

Another bad day in terms of diet, too many carbs. Carbs are my biggest weakness. I really need to work on not having them when I go out. I am very good at keeping them away when I am at home but once away from home I start to indulge. It is very important to limit the carb intake since you are allowing your body to get used to things without carbs, and every time you back slide it gets harder to get back on track.

Day off

Breakfast: omelette with 1 piece of rye bread (peanut butter and jam)
Snack: half a cinnamon bun
Snack: chickpea salad, steak kabob pieces
Dinner: salad, garlic bread, whole wheat pasta

Not a very good day at all as I had way too many carbs!
