Woohoo I made it to the gym when I said I would. Woke up early for it... and it's my day off! Got there at about 9:30 (I ran into a Hair Fairy co worker on the street so I would have been there earlier... the first thing she yelled as I was crossing the street to her was "Are you pregnant!?" What...the.... fuuuuuuuck). So I did 10 minutes warm up on the treadmill and then a Core on the Ball class. It was good. I only wanted to die like twice. At one point I stopped doing the crunches and looked to my right to see a middle aged chubby Dominican lady working it hardcore. I was not going to let her win... so I didn't stop at all after that. I can't stop laughing about the entire experience. I saw an exposed breast for a good 15 minutes.... either she didn't realize or she just liked doing her crunches that way. Then, of course, Don Omar was put on the stereo and Marco busted out in merengue. I was like.. you have got to be kidding me. But I didn't stop. I worked my white girl hips and gave the women something to laugh about. After the class I did 10 minutes on the eliptical (I can't stand the eliptical) and then 10 minutes on the treadmill with an incline walking briskly for 7 minutes and 3 minutes straight running. Then I got even more exercise on my arms after buying my heavy items thinking I could catch the shuttle back... but no... thanks to Lincoln and him having a birthday, no bus. So I had to walk the three streets and one avenue climbing the giant hill to my building carrying all that and talking to you on the phone. So let's see... 30 minutes cardio, 45 minutes in the class and water/laundry detergent up hill for 15ish minutes. Pretty good.
What did I eat?:
- Orange
- Multi grain bagel and reduced fat salmon cream cheese (I'm not feeling bad about the bagel today cause I'm donating platelets later and needed to actually eat something of substance with calcium...I will try to resist Dunkin Donuts in the future... maybe not the coffee part)
- Iced coffee... skim milk and two sugars (in the future I'll get only one). Did I say already that (sans the sugar) the large coffee with skim milk is 35 calories?
- Trader Joe's All Natural Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal (130 calories)
- Package of Reduced fat Cheez-its (had to after donating... I didn't however have to steal two more bags, 3 bags of Lornadoons and 3 sugar free cookie packets... but I'm broke)
- Box of apple juice
- Wrap from Au Bon Pan... it had rice and "steak" and jalapenos... It was about 560 calories it said
- Half of a blueberry yogurt from Au Bon Pan (yogurt is my new bff...)
- Some cantalope
THIS LIST IS LOOKING LONG AND I'M DEF NOT DONE EATING FOR THE DAY! But it's okay cause everything is not a hamburger and french fries. Omg I would so much rather be writing here than writing my application that's due tomorrow. I have nothing to say... procrastinating procrastinating. Oh I know... I'll write a haiku:
Crunches at the gym
Fatties will lose belly mass
We will be too thin
Also I think it will help if I make a plan for what to eat tomorrow.
Before gym: Rest of yogurt and Cheez its (remember... theyre reduced fat)
Lunch: Brown rice and Trader Joes chicken (one of the two kinds that I have)
Dinner: Salad... cause I'll be able to get one cause I'll be on the Upper West Side.
And some fruit. I need to buy some fruit.
I'm gonna add more to this later.
Okay it's later and I'm wrapping this up. I will eat something... in like two seconds after I finish writing this. I don't know what it's gonna be. Probably these fiber pita chips I got. Or cantolope. Or a sugar free cookie. I don't know. I'll let you know tomorrow.
I'm planning on getting my jiggly self to Tripe Fat Burner class at 9:15... so I want to be at the gym by 9.
OH... I wanted to add... the fact that I am getting up in the morning and working out first thing (just like Obama!) is making me feel really good. I like not wasting my mornings sleeping in and actually getting so much more accomplished in a day cause I feel more energized. It's great. Badabupbadah I'm lovin' it.
Late!

P.S. Aaaaalright. I'm supposed to be honest. I just ate another bag of cheez its, half the bag of pita chips, 4 small oatmeal cookies and 5 small sugarless cookies! OMG let me add the calories... omg it's A LOT! I'll use donating the platelets as an excuse. And I will do the class tomorrow AND 30 minutes on the treadmill AND 15 minutes arms.
I LOOOOVE reduced fat cheeze its. I meant to get some today , but I totally forgot. I KNEW i was forgetting something when I was standing in line at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you already! You're doing awesome. And hearing you say the thing about going to work out early in the morn makes me wanna do the same. But I'm a snooze button-aholic. So, I dunno....
