Personal Challenge: Days 4, 5, 6 & 7

So I have been MIA for a few days, but I have been busy!

I was at the gym Wednesday and Thursday.

Friday and today I haven't done any exercise.

That is me being 100% lazy.

BUT

I've been carefully watching my food, so I don't feel that bad.

I went to a local farmer's market for the first time to stock up on 

healthy foods. Here is some of what I got....

Broccoli, Kale, Fresh garlic, grapes, garlic hummus and some lettuce.

I paid around $10.00.

I also made one of my favorite dishes for dinner Friday night!

It is sauteed Kale, garlic and onions with Boca meatless crumbles mixed in.

Sauteed in Extra Virgin Olive Oil!

So yummy!

I actually got the "recipe" from Bridget Nicole.

Tomorrow I weight myself to see if I lost any weight.

Hopefully 1-2lbs. I would be happy :)

Personal Challenge: Day 2 & 3

DAY 2

Well, day two did not go as planned.

I did well with my eating plan....

(Click photo to enlarge)

BUT,

I went to the gym an hour later than usual because I thought it would

be less crowded, and it wasn't. IT WAS PACKED! So packed, that people

were waiting in small lines just to use the weight lifting equipment. I planned to do 

biceps and triceps, and well that didn't happen.

I was so pissed off that I only did 20 mins of cardio and I left.

DAY 3

Yesterday was good. Not great, not horrible, just good.

I took a few photos of some of my meals for the day...

 One egg on a Fiber One english muffin and fat free milk

 THE MOST AMAZING CREAMER! lol

I prefer the one called "Sweet Cream," but my store was sold out.

This one is vanilla, good, but not as good.

I only know about it because of Bridget Nicole.

Don't know what I am talking about, here's her Facebook page

And my half eaten lunch. lol.

I remembered midway to take a photo.

I spent 45 mins at the gym.

I did 15 minutes on this Cybex? machine.

It's like an awkward elliptical...

I also did the 30 minute express workout at Planet Fitness.

The lifting equipment once again was too packed for me to lift.
