Day 1- Meals and "Before" Picture

This is today, day one, just slightly flexing. I would LOVE to get rid of this annoying pooch that does not complement my pear-shaped body...
I hope to tone more and have more definition. :)

Todays menu:
  -Breakfast:
I had a scrambled egg with a handful of spinach, as well as a 1/2 cup of yogurt(half plain greek, half lemon) mixed with a 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries and 1/2 cup of honey granola.
  -Lunch:
Im going to have a chopped salad with romaine lettuce, carrots, celery, and onion. As well as an asian dressing made with olive oil.
  -Dinner:
Dinner will be a Chipotle salad with pinto beans, brown rice, and corn salsa. Along with a honey Chipotle dressing.


For my workout I did about 15 squats (that's all I can handle right now, Lol! ) And then most of the other things Kaysi's notebook has on Day 1. including the warmup 100 jumping jacks, and the finishing 100 jumping jacks, leg/hip raises, body surfing, dead lifts, and butt-bridges (that's what I call them anyways). I also added a 60 second plank, and of course, stretching.

30 Day Challenge - Day 1

I read on Kaysi's Notebook Blog about a 30 day challenge she did. It looks doable, healthy, and beneficial! So I am going to try it.

If you want to do it with me, the first day is here:

I did about half of the workout because I am not exactly up to doing 100% yet. (Let's just say I haven't worked out for awhile besides running a couple miles here and there!)

My diet is going to NOT consist of:
-Sugar or sweets that aren't raw or very close to it! Even those will be cut way down!
-Fried foods
-Processed foods
-Grainy breads
-Starches: pasta, potatoes, etc.
-Sugary drinks
-Very low amounts of dressing & condiments
-Dairy, besides raw milk with my barley shot, and greek yogurt with my granola.

Foods that my diet WILL consist of:
-Lots of fruits and vegetables
-Eggs
-Granola
-Oatmeal
-Sprouted grain bread
-Green tea
-LOTS of WATER
-Juice, from a juicer
-Beans
-Brown rice

So I will be logging what I eat, and my workout routine. My goal is to workout 4-5 days each week during this, i know that with rigorous work schedules I will need break days especially when i work at 8am.

Picture to come later of my "Before" :)

Id like to add that I am not doing this because I think I'm fat! I want to be healthy and I know that I have some work to do! I love my body the way it is but I would love to see myself be motivated to eat well and have a healthy lifestyle.
