Day 2 - last good workout

I probably won't have a chance to blog tomorrow. I go in for my procedure to grind off that screw in my knee tomorrow morning 7:15 a.m. So, I got in a GOOD workout this morning. It may be a few days before I can get on my elliptical again.

I'm reading a book (reading may be an overstatement, let's call it scanning) called the "4 Day Win." Basically, the concept is you can do anything for 4 days. So, I set a rediculously easy goal to reach each day... I get a little reward each day I achieve my goal, and after 4 days in a row, I get a more substantial reward. The problem is, the reward I want is food related... that's going to be the tough part for me.

Goal each day: Account (in writing) for everything I eat.
Reward each day, some sort of BC facial or manicure treatment before bed (I need a better reward, this is actually more like work to me.)
4 Day Reward: a new pair of shoes

I did my 45-minute workout this morning. 5 minutes of yoga to stretch/warm up
10 minutes of inervals (high-low intensity) on my elliptical.
10 minutes of upper body weights, 10 minutes of abs/core
10 minutes more on elliptical
100 crunches mixed with some pillates moves for cool down

We'll call this my standard morning workout... the only variation will be whether I concentrate on upper or lower body weights each day. It should alternate.

Here's the rundown on today's food intake:

Pot of coffee w/S&L & skim milk 1
SB protien/cereal bar 3
banana 2
20 oz water w/Life Water 1
med apple 2
laughing cow lt cheese, wassa cracker 1
20 oz iced green tea
WW turkey dinner 4
frozen steamed veggies 2
sm diet Coke
2 svg (14) pringles light sour cream/onion 2
2 Wasa crackers 0
2 Tbs hummus 2
diet coke
1c Kashi Lean cereal 2
1/2 c skim milk 1
8 0z water

Exercise -2 (probably low ball estimate, but we'll leave it)
Total: 22 (out of possible 22)

So, for 2 days, off to a pretty healthy start. I was hungry when I went to bed last night, but I drank a big glass of water. Oh yeah, yesterday I also drank 40 oz of green iced tea during the day. That should help too!

End of the day... I kind of grazed late in the day.. but, nothing too terrible. I made good choices and I have met my goal of writing everything down. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight tonight until after my surgery tomorrow... maybe I'll lose a pound. ;-)
