Remember in my previous post I was talking about starting this 8 week slimdown program I found on bodybuilding.com. Well, I officially started it on Sunday 7/6/08!! I was just so excited to get started because I had a bit of fun eating on the 4th of July. Burgers, hotdogs, and I will not name any more. Saturday evening I ventured out to the grocery store and picked up my goods for this week. I am not kidding. Check out my stash below:
My list of goods consisted of:
- turkey bacon
- turkey deli meat
- chicken breast
- tuna
- steak
- salmon
- Almonds
- eggs & egg whites
- salad
- low fat mayo
- low fat yogurt
- non fat cottage cheese
- instead of cream of rice I did instant grits
- fruits, veggies
- low fat dressing
- natural peanut butter
- diet soda
- green tea
Phew!! Long list. So far I have been working this plan and I am seeing results already like 3lbs!! My exercise plan for myself so far is:
- 20-30 minute walk/jog in the morning or elliptical
- afternoon either cardio (interval training) or weight training the upper or lower body on alternate days.
I have to say the food is not bad at all and I now I will be able to make it through the eight weeks and then on to maintaining. I just finished my last workout today which was my lower body (leg extensions, hamstring curls, dead lift, lunges, and abs! So i am happy! I swear I am ready to get down so that I can model my skinny jeans and be ready for our trip to Disney World in September!! Well, I am out for the evening.
Chat later-
