Week 4

Feeling good and sore this morning ... I never realized that abs could be so sore!! But, it's a good feeling since I know they are getting in shape! Only problem now is my booty is getting smaller than ever - small price to pay for getting washboard abs though, right?

here's what I've been doing with the workouts - trying to mix it up a little to make sure they are the most effective:
last Friday - Shed 5 fast - Workout 1
Saturday - long walk in the morning, Boot Camp 2 (4 core and 2 Cardio) in the evening
Sunday - Shed 5 Fast - Workout 2
Monday - Pilates/Yoga from the Core Workout

I just realized I've never mentioned what I am eating! Since I'm not so concerned with losing weight - just firming up the weight I have, I haven't changed my diet much. I am somewhere between a vegan and vegetarian - no meat or dairy, but I do eat eggs and wild caught fish on rare occasions (I love sushi and just can't give it up yet). The nice part is that I can pretty much eat whatever I want, when I'm hungry I eat, and when I'm full I stop. I eat a ton of fresh fruits and veggies, and rice & beans. Oatmeal and coffee is my breakfast 6 out of 7 days of the week, lunch is usually dinner leftovers, and dinner is usually veggie burritos or tacos, a yummy soup (sweet potato/lentil is my favorite!) or a veggie version of the dinner I make the rest of my family. I do have a sweet tooth thought so it's a good think I eat a lot of whole grains and veggies because I also eat a lot of vegan treats! Pumpkin muffins, vegan cookies, dark chocolate - yum yum! I think everything is ok in moderation, just make sure you vary up your diet like you do your workouts!

Well, that's all for today - I'll try to get a pic up soon! I tend to look better in the morning than at night so I'll try to remember tomorrow :)
