My dog Charlie wanted to help.

Okay so today was a pretty busy day! I have so much to talk about. First I'll start with this thing I did last night after posting. I made a Vision Board. One of my professors at school, Elise Forier-Edie, had us do one for our futures. I loved this assignment very much, (my vision board still hangs above my desk). So I figured why not do one for exercising to put up in my room. I find it as a great reminder of what I desire; it's a great motivational tool! When doing this find pictures, phrases, really anything that jumps out to you. Let your right brain run wild!

The finished product.

Now for my food from today. I started my day off with a veggie egg scramble. I had less than one serving of a mix of freeze-dried strawberry slices and yogurt bites while I was teaching. I had an apple on my commute home. When I got back to my house I had two small chicken tacos for lunch. This was made with, what I believe is a weight watchers recipe for some chicken and beans. It's delicious! The tacos were loaded with veggies and on corn tortillas. I also had a nature valley granola bar before working out. My dinner was my first go at cooking salmon. I marinated it in a little EVOO, fresh squeezed lemon juice, a little pepper and a pinch of salt. I ate this with rice that was cooked with broccoli and onions. I put low sodium soy sauce on top of that. I will finish off my day with a 70 calorie pomegranate Popsicle. Wow! Typing it all out makes me feel like I ate a lot...my stomach wouldn't agree. That's been my biggest problem...I feel hungry A LOT.

I promise it was delicious!

But I'm hoping the wonderful gift I got today will help me with that! I went to workout with Grace and Arnie again today and they greeted me with a Thin Kitchen recipe book from Beach Body and one of the shakeology packages. The cook book has many great recipes I can't wait to try...including a Thanksgiving Dinner! Tonight's exercise again kicked my butt! However, I loved it so much! I felt great leaving the park tonight! I will also be starting a 30 Day Squat Challenge that I added to my vision board. So right after I post this I will be doing 50 squats! Wish me luck!
