So I've had the last two days off. Monday with a rest day, and yesterday with the storms. Well, this afternoon, I was wavering on hitting the gym. Then I picked up D, and he had a bad headache (his seizures are coming back which means headaches start up again). But thank GOD, he still wanted to go to the gym. So I was like F THIS, I'M GOING. I know if I stop, I'll lose my flow. And see below for how glad I am that I went!
Food: I had some sandwich crackers and applesauce for breakfast. Lunch was a small turkey bacon sandwich from Schlotzskys and two oatmeal raisin cookies. For a snack I had some almonds. Dinner was Chick Fil A nuggets and a side salad with ranch to end my day at 2182 calories. It doesn't seem like much huh?? A lot of that was the regular ranch on the salad...and I know there was mayo on the sandwich. But that's ok.
Workout: hopped my butt on the Precor elliptical and rocked out 30 minutes!! Hell yeah! That's 579 calories burned! I also noticed I'm getting faster. At 25 minutes on Sunday, I was at 2180 strides, and my stride count today at 25 minutes in was 2527. So without even trying, I'm going faster. This rocks! I also did 20 minutes on the treadmill at an easy pace to stay moving while my heart rate came back down after the ellip and stretch out my legs.
Brandie Vs. The Machine. I'm pretty sure you're winning.
