Day 353

Tabata!  I love writing that as it means I once again went to a commitment and proved to myself I can do it.  Of course it also means that I'm half way through my weekly workout schedule.  The weather has been great but unfortunately I haven't made the time to ride the bike and I won't be able to ride this week.  So a bit of a bummer.  I hope the weather will be nice next week as I plan on riding if I can.
This also weigh in day for the weight loss contest.  It's the first full weekly weigh in and I lost about half of a pound.  Again no worries as that's not bad but I'm not stressing at all.  I did meet the other challenge (64oz of water every day and 20min of cardio for 5 of the 7 days) but wasn't a winner in the drawing.  This next week won't work into my schedule so I'm not even going to try the challenge.  I'm okay with that though as I have other fish to fry.  Ha another food analogy to describe life.  You gotta luv it.  Here's my day:

Breakfast: Two eggs, 3slices of deli turkey, skinny bun, tomato, avocado, and a slice of carrot/zucchini bread for dessert.  20oz of cold water.

1st snack: Greek yogurt and almonds

Lunch: Wrap with 3 slices of roast beef, 2 slices of bacon, cheese, cabbage & red peppers, guacamole, yogurt spread on a low carb, high fiber tortilla.  Single serving of kettle chips from TJ's.

2nd snack: Banana and a Babybel cheese round

Dinner: Protein drink.  Greek yogurt with Chia seeds and a 5-seed bar.  Also a banana.

So had a great Tabata workout but was still feeling the abs workout from Monday.  Not a bad thing but made the abs workout tonight a bit harder.  Or at least made me more aware of those darn muscles.  I will say that I impressed myself just a bit though.  One of the series was a modified burpee.  We did a push up and then shot our legs backwards but no jump motion like a traditional burpee.  So when we got to the final couple of sets I was still able to do a couple of push ups.  Maybe I'm getting stronger?  I can only hope.  Tomorrow nite will be interesting as I've got a work meeting.  I should be able to work out before the meeting but it might need to be shortened a bit.  I'll probably do the Sat workout that L showed the last time we met.
