I don't remember who posted it, but about a month ago I saw a speed-work routine that looked pretty doable, and pretty quick! I did it today and it was great! A total of 40 minutes and a ball of sweat later, I felt fantastic! For anyone interested:
- 5 minute warm-up walk
- 5 min @ 6 mph
- 4 min @ 6.5 mph
- 3 min @ 7 mph
- 2 min @ 7.5 mph
- 1 min @ 8 mph
- Repeat runs
- 5 minute cool-down walk followed by stretching
----------
And as far as food went today:
Breakfast:
-Quaker Weight Control Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal
-Banana
-1 tsp pure vanilla extract
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
*All this was mixed together
Lunch:
-Mex-y Mac
-Super Salsa
-2 Tbsp fat-free sour cream (Trader Joe's is the best, otherwise Breakstone)
*All this was mixed together
Dinner:
-Ginormous salad
-2 Tbsp lite Chipotle Ranch (Twin Tree Gardens)
-1/4 cup pistachios
I tend to eat pretty much the same things over and over again. If you want to know what's in something just look a post or two back. If I make something different I will put the ingredients next to it. Once I figure out all this blog stuff, I'll try to make clickable links to my recipes.
And just a head's up- I work crazy hours from Tuesday - Thursday so I may not get a chance to post again until Friday. But I will definitely be back, and hopefully get this all madeover into something better organized. Until then, have a great week everyone!

I'd better get to that meeting tomorrow to get some more motivation for continuing my exercise. That's the hardest part of the living healthy program for me. :)
I'm going to have to try that work out! Sounds like a great way to burn a buttload of calories!
Thanks for checking on me. I am going to the 4:30 meeting as I missed the two morning meetings. My leader loves exercise so this will be a good one. :)
