Bootcamp day 1

So I know that I would like to blog my daily progress with this boot camp but I don't know what format I would like to use. So bear with me. There are a couple of rules to the boot camp but since I know them all I'm just going to do them how I want to. Sue me.  Maybe that's how I will blog too. Ok so here's a recap for Day 1--Monday, August 06, 2013


Water: My water intake was good today. I did 13 cups which was pretty good considering that I have not had a drop of water in like two days. I have an eight cup water jug that I filled with water, placed in the freezer, and drunk throughout the day. It worked .... I hate water but ice cold water is something that I love to indulge in ... especially in this Florida heat.

Food: Breakfast consisted of egg whites, veggies, and turkey sausage stuffed in a wheat pita pocket. I cant lie ... it was nasty. I have not had egg whites since my last day of school and my tongue did not miss it. Lunch was better. Lunch consisted of a green smoothie with spinach, kale, fruit and a scoop of vanilla whey protein. It was yummy. My only regret is that I shared half of it with my spouse and the shake was so yummy that I would've preferred to drink the entire thing by myself. By far the best meal of the day was dinner. I tried a new recipe from Allrecipes.....stuffed chicken breast with spinach, yellow rice and steamed carrots. Looking back I should've done something healthier than yellow rice but it was delicious. I had to make myself stop eating the chicken cause I could've easily eaten more than what was placed on my plate(despite my full stomach saying otherwise). I look forward to making that chicken again. Snacks consisted of the new Cheerios cereal(which sucks by the way) with a cup of organic soy milk and a chocolate rice cake topped with almond butter. I tried a new almond butter because Jif has some strange things going on with their ingredients and it was oh so yummy.



New Almond Butter Brand

Whoever came up with almond butter needs an award. I mean seriously. The ish is so delicious. I can eat two tablespoons of it without blinking ...... it's great on everything .... on bananas, on toast, on celery, on apples, on rice cakes ..... you see what I'm saying? This ish is delicious. How do you like those apples almonds?

Exercise: I have not exercised since the beginning of July. Honestly I've been lazy. Here's the thing about exercising ... you have to be consistent with it. Once you stop, your body adjusts and it's hell to start back up again. I was trying to decide what I would like to do and finally decided on basketball with my son. I'm competitive. Chile I hate to lose. So I went hard for 20 minutes on the basketball court and

my exercise for the day was done. I had a great one too. Sweat was everywhere and my body felt as if I had gone round for round with Roy Jones ... .from back in his ya'll must've forgot days. (Act like you know). Chile I was sore.

Success: No fast food, no sugar, water every hour, spices (use oregano, cumin, garlic)

Keep working on: Better options .... yes Vigo I'm talking about you.

Til tomorrow
