working out

This is day 2 of the pink primary diet. And I just want to say first and foremost, Im feeling great! Yesterday was the first day of the new diet and exercise. For breakfast I had 2 slices of canadian bacon and 1 slice of glutten free wheat bread. I also had a cup of green tea. It was delicious! Since we had gone out for Chinese the night before, I had the leftovers for lunch, plus a salad and an apple. And for dinner, we made couscous, pork chop, and green beans. It was so good! After Addie went to bed, I put on my work out clothes, got a bottle of water and my PINK dvds and headed downstaires. Phase 1 is a 20 minute kardio designed to burn fat by involving multiple muscle groups and lots of fast paced but low impact actions. This phase starts right in and I was sweating like no other! The PINK instructor was always saying things like, "you can do it" and "believe in yourself". It was hard and some of the moves I tried and couldnt really do. But the instructor also said that its ok and shows other not as strenius moves. I powered through the 20 minutes and the next part  was yoga. It wasnt your average yoga! Again it was a total body emphasis. I just laid on the floor for awhile when I was done. It was hard to walk back up the staires. After the workouts, I still have to have the whey protein shake. So I had that while I relaxed. Then I enjoyed my hot tea, read my book, and headed to bed. When I woke up this morning, I felt sore! I told Ian I need to take ibuprofin before I work out again! I decided to the next dvd in the morning, so I got ready for that. This time it was strength push muscles: the chest, shoulders, triceps, and thighs. It had the same fat burning intensity. The bonus workout was athletic abs. Oh lord do my abs hurt today. After the workout, I had the protein shake, 2 slices of turkey sausage, and the glutten free bread. ( i make toast) For lunch today, we had veggie soup, salad, and banana. As I write this, Im enjoying green tea. I should probably wrap up because I still need to plan dinner. Looking forward to strenth pull and pilates tomorrow!
