15 - I Can't Wait For Fashion!

Holy wowzers. My behind is sore. Oh yeah. Yesterday's leg workout is making me pay today. So, I figure the best thing to do, is try the "hair of the dog" method. I've already done my 25 squats for the day, and boy oh boy, did they hurt. I love it.

Today, however I feel kind of guilty. My diet has been way off today. So I'm going to confess, move on, and not do it tomorrow. After all, it's a whole new day! So, here goes.
+Sweet and sour chicken with jasmine rice
+Cucumbers
+2 Slices of pizza
+Salad
+Air popped popcorn w/ I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
+Ghirardelli dark chocolate w/ strawberry filling square
+Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats
+2 Diet Sprites
+Sugar-free hot chocolate
+Chai tea with Stevia and soy milk
+English Breakfast tea with Stevia

Ok. That's done. Whew. A few people asked about how I got my header, and I created it using an editing application found at picnik.com. I heard about this amazing and (user friendly) site from the lovely Allie, and I love it. I suggest everyone to go check it out, it's amazing! (I used the collage portion to create the header.)

I figured, since I don't really have much else to do out here in Africa except dream of the things I am going to be able to do (shop!) when I get back to the States, I'd share some of the things I've found that I realy want! Sorry if that's lame, I just love fashion and I get super excited. Now, I'm not saying I will buy all of these things, I'm just looking.

Ok, so too many things... And yeah, I probably won't spend $200 on a purse. But I really love them. Love. Them. Haha. Anyways, I hope everyone has a great day, and wish me luck on my workout tonight (they are always rough after a 12 hour shift!), I might need it!

P.S. The number in the title is going to reflect the amount of days I have left in Africa. Thanks fashionfitnessfoodie for the idea! :)

Beat Those Legs into Submission!

Hey y'all. Notice anything different? Yeah, me neither.


First off, I just want to say I am positively green with envy for those who got to participate in the Disney Princess weekend, whether you ran the 5K, or the half-marathon. No seriously. I'm so jealous I could scream.


Ahem. On to other things. I kicked my trash tonight. Seriously, I don't know if I'll be able to walk tomorrow. I took my goals for March pretty seriously tonight at the gym. First off I decided that since my legs want to keep crapping out on me, I just need to make them stronger. So I worked legs tonight. This was my routine.


Weights:
+25 lunges each leg
+Seated leg curl - 75 lbs 10 reps x 3
+Seated calf press - 180 lbs 10 reps x 3
+Leg extension - 55 lbs 10 reps x 3
+Hip adduction - 70 lbs 10 reps x 3 (I hate this machine, because it makes me really uncomfortable to do the exercise in a crowded gym. It looks inappropriate...)
+Hip abduction - 85 lbs 10 reps x 3
+Seated leg press - 90 lbs 10 reps x 3
+25 squats


Abs:
+2:00 front plank
+1:30 each side plank


45 minutes on the elliptical


Whew. It was intense. Haha. As far as my food goes, I took pictures, but they're really ugly, and I'm being super lazy and don't want to upload them, so I'll just tell you.


+Peanut butter
+Toasted pumpernickle bread with peanut butter and banana
+Green beans
+Baked Salmon
+Baby carrots
+Cucumbers
+Package of peanut M&Ms (my movie snack)
+2 Diet Sprites


I still have the last meal (breakfast since I'm back on nights) to go, so that's not it. I think I did pretty good except for the M&Ms, but I needed a snack for the movie, and pickings are slim around here... Haha.


I wore the Nike Tempo shorts again, and I love them on the elliptical. I think for running though, I will stick with tights and capris. It must be the way I run, since those shorts just won't stop riding up my inner thighs. They are super comfy, though! You should have seen how sweaty I was when I finished my workout. It felt great. I'm in such a good mood now. :) 


BTW, completely random and off topic, but anyone else notice how in my castle picture up top, there is nobody else around? Ummm, that is so weird and almost impossible at the castle at DisneyWorld.... Hmmmmm. Not complaining, though. I think it makes the photo better. :) 


Have a great day, y'all!
