Week one - Day Four

[pugmohone]

Wow. I had to stop and think about what day it was. Hunger from Day One has subsided. Pain from not having been to the gym forever since this week has not. learning what No Pain, No Gain means. Did lunges yesterday as part of the lower body workout. i knew there would be pain today. I just forgot how tight it would be.


Looking forward to riding a bike for 20 minutes tonight and resting!!

Second Upper Body Workout tomorrow. Hopefully I am not too much in pain or I may hold off. Would rather not hurt myself.

Playing around with next week's menu. Looking forward to my free night which is Saturday and pizza for my mother-in-law's birthday. I have decided not to weigh myself until Jan 5, 2009.

My work is having a friendly wager of percentage lost between this week and that date. I could care less if I win. I will hopefully just feel better by then, which i already am.

ANyone have suggestions for proteins I could easily make for lunch? I'm thinking ham of the bone on wheat bread for lunch next week so I don't wear out chickens welcome. Cottage Cheese is here, but that will not last. I can't stand the tatste.

Try using cottage cheese like ricotta and eating it with a tomato sauce.

This recipe is a great late night snack:

Slice a sucini into thin pieces and line a plate with it.
Top with cottage cheese.
Top with spaghetti sauce.

Microwave for a few minutes and enjoy healthy lasagna variation.

Other protiens: Try eating sushi and other fish dishes!

I've taken up chocolate whey powder and I love it.
I add it to smoothies with banana and frozen blue berries (full recipe on my blog here: http://www.bodyforlifeforum.com/foru...hp?do=bloglist )
