If you aren't sweating you are NOT Losing!!!! This picture was taken post workout 1 on the 30 day shed

Food Day 1:

Here is what I did day one on the 30 day shed. I ate 1200 calories.

Breakfast was 1 pkg apple cin oatmeal (sugar free), a snack of emerald cocoa almonds (100cal), lunch was a can of progresso light soup, with 1 slice Kraft American fat free cheese 25 cal. 3 oz of baby carrots, 2 tbsp hummus, for a snack later I had 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp honey, on 2 slices 35 cal wheat bread. for dinner we had a client in town so we went to a restaurant and I ordered grilled chicken breast( skinless, no marinade, no seasoning) a side salad with fat free honey mustard on the side, corn( I opted for corn over the green beans because I asked how they were prepared and they had both bacon and butter in them, the corn did not, I got it with NO BUTTER) then I ate 1 dinner roll since i had an additional 850cal to consume over my 1200 because after my work that was how much I burned.  I also made sure to drink a min of 10 glasses of H20 not including 2 glasses of UN sweet tea. Remember each bottle of H20 you drink counts as 2 glasses of h20. 

WORKOUT DAY 1:

45 min on the elliptical(Start -5 min resistance level 1; min 5-10 resistance level 6; min 10-15 resistance level 10; min 15-25 resistance level 16 (the max); min 25-30 resistance level 10;min 30-35 resistance level 6; min 35-45 resistance level 1)  If you do not have access to an elliptical you can run for 45 min on the road( that was what I use to do when I was losing my weight because it wasn't until a few months ago my husband purchased out elliptical) 

I followed my elliptical training with 5 min of planks, ( I did all 5 min at once but you can build to that if need be do 1 min take 30 sec to 1 min off then do another min until you reach 5 min) Next was 600 crunches( I alternated every set of 100 with knees, so the 1st set were normal crunches, the next set of 100 was to each side alternating knees, back to normal, then knees etc...) Followed by 100 Plies( this exercise is tough to explain but stick with me you spread you legs into the wide leg squat position, then lift up your body onto your toes, then do squats on your toes, never letting your heels touch the ground) I will try to get someone to take pics of me doing each exercise to post at a later date. I followed those with 200 squats, then 100 side bends(which work your obliques) I will post more tonight or tomorrow about the exercises I did today. Hope this gets you started right.

Until next time take care and keep sweating!!!
