This post is for you Ashley..... A day in my NEW LIFE

A few weeks ago Ashley asked me to post what I do in a day for working out and eating so here goes:

Below are a couple of days of my "food journal":
day 1:
WW Chocolate muffin
2 mozz string cheese sticks
chef's salad with ff ranch dressing (on the side)
fruit (strawberries, pineapple, melon)
Tuna Noodle Casserole
Weight Watchers Ice Cream Bar

2 33.8 oz Sams Club Clear American Wild Cherry Water
3 cans of Diet Coke

day 2:
WW Chocolate muffin
WW bagel with turkey and cheese
vanilla yogurt waffle cone
Five Guys Jr Hamburger
Five Guys french fries (about 1/4 of an order)

2 33.8 oz Sams Club Clear American Wild Cherry water
3 cans of Diet Coke

Working Out:
90 minutes a day using the NuStep (a stationary bike that you push the foot pedals instead of pedaling)

30 minute swim (occasionally 1-2 times a week)

50-100 ab crunches

3 lb dumb bell arm workout

There it is in a nutshell. For me the secret was getting my metabolism to kick in. I think that it is safe to say that it has. I am feeling great and am LOVING the fact that I am fitting into clothes that are in the BACK of my closet.
