I'm Back!

I apologize for my six month hiatus.  Life got crazy and summer was even crazier.  I thoroughly enjoy my weekends off in the summer, however, my bank account does not appreciate it as much as I do.  It was a spring and summer full of weddings and bridal showers, bachelorette parties, trips to the islands, VIP excursions, hanging out with Olympians, enjoying the Olympics, working ten hour days and yea, whew, I'm ready for a break.

I'm definitely excited to go back to my fall schedule today and just get my life back in order.  I may be going back to giving up my Saturdays but I am gaining so much more me time during the week that for me it makes it worth it.

Something I am very excited about beginning today is a workout regimen and diet plan.  Working 10 to 7 all week long took a toll on my diet as I spent everyday at lunch at a fast food place.  Even though I tried to make healthy choices such as whole grain grilled chicken sandwiches, sushi and turkey subs, it most definitely is not as healthy as home cooking meals.  And at 7 when I would get off work, the last thing I wanted to do was grocery shop, cook or even work out and my gut is showing my disdain for such organization.

So this morning I was up early.  Was able to sit around and "pin" and peruse my favorite social networking sites and this morning I started my workouts.  I am going to dedicate an hour a day to working out.  No more excuses.  I'm back blogger!

Workout:
25 minutes of Insanity Cardio Plyo (it kept cutting out and I couldn't take it anymore, this is what I get for trying to "borrow" it from the internet)
3 x 15 Squats supersetted with 30 seconds of wall sits in between sets
2 x 20 lunge walks with weights
1 x 15 Hamstring curls
20 minutes of pilates for abs

Diet:
B: 1 slice whole grain bread with 1 egg over medium and 1 slice weight watcher cheese
Post Workout: Cupcake protein shake (vanilla protein, sugar free cheesecake mix, 1 scoop cottage cheese (2tbs), 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/4 water
Supplements: B vitamin, multi vitamin, chromium picolate, acidophilus and shot of apple cider vinegar
L: Mixed green salad with grape tomatoes, cucumber, blue cheese and italian dressing
Breaded tilapia (pan seared and whole grain flour)
Snack: Green apple with almonds
D: Grilled chicken breast (george forman), wild rice and steamed broccoli

My goal is to look like this...by Halloween!
