Shred It Baby!

Week 1, Day 1: PRIME

This morning, I weighed in and was ready to SHRED!

Challenge number 1: FOOD

Four meals, 3 snacks and 1 exercise session later... I feel great! The best thing about this lifestyle change is you eat all day! The guidelines suggest lots of eating all day long; however, you are able to eat less than is required. The majority of my meals were smaller portions because I was finished eating before the end of the suggested portion size. Hopefully this works in my favor.

I did, however, add rice to my dinner (which was an unaccounted for starch), but my portion was consumed according to the nutrition facts.

Challenge number 2: EXERCISE

Part A: Fitness Ladies January Challenge 2013

Between my fourth meal and my last snack I completed day 2: 25 jumping jacks, 10 (bicycle) crunches, 10 (excrutiatingly horrible) burpees, 15 second (not too hard this time) plank, 15 chair dips (that had my arms on fire), and instead of a walk or run (I just couldn't bare the 20 degree weather with ice today) I danced around in the kitchen (10 minutes) while cooking dinner as well as walked the stairs for 9 minutes.

Part B: Ambitious Bodies Squat Challenge

For day 2 of my second challenge, I completed 25 squats from the Ambitious Bodies Squat Challenge.

Today was a good day for me. How'd you do?
