Day Two!!

my legs are sore today!! I had my workout this morning at 6:00 so again I had to wake up and eat immediately...I'm not use to that I felt like puking. I got to Aggieland Fitness Dome and there was Tori and Shontarius two other contestants ready to go to work!! We had a 3 person group for cardio boy did I learn a lot!! O.K. we started out on the treadmill getting my heartrate up around 120( which was nothing more than a walk) keeping my heartrate between 108-153 for 30minutes was not too bad except for my legs being sore. It was no more than a brisk walk. so the way to figure out your maximun heart rate is take the number 220 subtract your age then you have your max heart rate. then take 60-85% and thats the range you need to stay between...no more no less. So me for instance:
220-40(my age)=180
60-85%=108-153 is my target heartrate to stay within
So for the first time I felt I actually had a target and a model to follow. Then we went down stairs and started boxing and kicking for more cardio...did I mention that my legs were sore...the kickboxing kicked my butt!! Then we stretched and Bear(my Marethouse Fitness Trainer) emphasized how important stretching is after each workout...it also really helps the soreness. Todays menu included:

5:15am breakfast: Kashi cereal with soy milk
7:30am snack: Post workout shake(Gladiator Protein from Smoothie King)
12:30pm lunch: sandwich(lean deli ham, canola oil mayo, Ezekial 7-grain bread)
string cheese, pickle
3:30pm snack: banana, string cheese
6:00pm dinner: spinach leaf salad(with red wine vinagrette dressing) baked chicken
breast

I'll tell you I have not been hungry at all!! I cant believe it!! Temptation has not got the best of me yet but it is early. One thing that I will say is by eating all the time, it is easier to turn down food...it is all around us....just today I was asked to go to Denny"s to have a free Grand Slam breakfast, then had a meeting at a mexican cafe(chips in front of me!!), then had a standing meeting at another restaurant in town, then in the office I walked around the corner and saw the most beautifully decorated cupcakes in the breakroom up for grabs...dangit!! but being satisfied it was no problem not eating, in the past I would have gave in. the funny thing is by not eating bad it is contagious it seems to be stimulating others to start to live healthy!!
