Day 23: I did it!!

I got up at 5:45 to go into my gym and workout early!! And I loved it. Yes, the initial waking up was absolutely terrible, but once I woke up it was amazing. The feeling that it was over with and the energy I gained made me so happy. My mood was better too. Wow! See what exercise can do for you! How could I skip so many days of working out? It is easy to skip a few days and then never go back. The hard part is getting back into it and treating these challenges as opportunities.

What is something you have been slacking on? Your goal tomorrow is to turn that around. Did you sneak and have a cookie? Are you eating too many carbs? Are you drinking diet sodas all day instead of water? Whatever it may be, focus on it and improve. You can do this. We can do this!

Workout: Weights--I am doing the same workouts M&R and T&F and doing cardio on Wednesdays. However when I skip the gym I have to alter it. But my weight exercises are the same that I did a week and a half ago. So, I am not going to write out the exercises each time.

Meal

• Breakfast: Green smoothie (almond milk, greek yogurt, kale, apple, kiwi, ginger and lemon)
• After workout snack: protein shake
• Snack: protein bar
• Lunch: Huge yummy salad with greens, dressing was olive oil and balsamic vinegar
• Snack: apple and almonds
• Dinner: chicken breast and edamame
