Live Fit: Day 4

i came down with a cold (womp womp), so i took today as a rest day, and will do the shoulder/ab workout tomorrow (yesterday’s leg workout was much appreciated. i’m so much stronger down there, lol).

but besides that, i haven’t had much of an appetite, so i stayed to clean soup, and veggies. tomorrow i will pick back up with the specified diet. (it’s so much food, i would be vomming all over if i tried to eat that when sick!) 

so, yay and nay. going to bed. hopefully i’ll feel tons better tomorrow! 

Live Fit: Day 2 

it was a back and biceps day (yikes, my arms are screeeeeaaaaming!) 

Breakfast: 

• 4 egg whites
• 1 Slice of Ezekiel bread

Mid-Morning (small meal option)

• 6oz Fage yogurt 
• 1 Cup raspberries

Lunch:

• 4 oz Tilapia (omg, so good)
• 1/4 Cup Quinoa
• 1 Cup Spinach

Mid-Afternoon:

• 2 Chicken muffins
• 1 Cup spinach

Dinner:

• 4oz Tilapia

I’m loving the whole concept of unlimited veggies… but now i’m disturbingly full. how long does this normally last for you all? 

Tomorrow is legs and calves (my favorite workouts by far) Very excited!

UPDATE:

okay guys, major stuff going on!

1.  Joined a new gym: cheaper than the last.
2. starting Live Fit program! (Jamie Eason) Decided that I wanted to be well on my way with muscle definition before graduating. I want the summer to be used for learning about maintenance. I will be doing daily updates for each phase (4 weeks=28 days for phase 1) Super excited! I need this to be cleansing.
