fitness journal - week 1

SO... I haven't worked out in a while...I will document my weekly workouts so that I will continue to keep working out, and to mark my improvement. So.. we'll start out slow.

Monday
8:15 Breakfast: warm Quiona with Almond Milk, raspberries, and blueberries
8:30 am Riverside Country Club (RCC)

Sit up machine, 10 sit up twists with 5lbs ball
100 crunches (different leg positions) + 30 oblique crunches

9:15 am RCC yoga class

Lunch: Hot pink smoothie (will post recipe next week), orange with cottage cheese.
Snacks: PB&J nut and fruit mix (from Costco, literally the only dried fruit mixed with nuts I like, it's super yummy), and the best Beef Jerky (again Costco), it is so fresh and soft and delicious!
The rest of the day wasn't so healthy (Ernie's Slam Dunk sandwich (healthy minus the white bun), Asian salad from Costco (SO delicious), homemade cookie (Bain and her friends made them, super yummy), and IN-N-OUT french fries)
