Fitness day 7

starting off not too bad

chex/corn flakes in my cereal. both gluten free. (still not convinced that i have a clean bill of health)
vitamins.

handful of pringles ><
mango sorbet
peanuts
chicken noodle soup. (100 calories a serving)
5 crackers, i discovered they weren't good soup crackers :/
dark chocolate m&ms.
a LOT of water. It feels like i'm drowning! but all the websites say that the continued drinking of water helps flush out that water weight. and god knows i just love to dehydrate myself. Lets hope this works.
one half of a chocolate chip english muffin with strawberry cream cheese
a single serving size bag of kettle korn.

going to work out at the gym with my mom soon. That is a step in the right direction, both for my health and for my mom.
I hope if I stretch out my left leg enough I'll be able to do the cardio that I need. Yesterday I wasn't able to do more than like 10 minutes because of the Achilles. Hopefully today will be better. and i'll be working harder that's for sure.

at the gym, this time my foot acted up. the muscles in my instep as well as on the top of it were pulling, making it hard to go on the elliptical. however, i did go for over 25 minutes. 2 miles. 200 calories. I realized i run faster when i'm watching tv versus when i'm just listening to my ipod.
then i did 500 meters on the rowing machine.
then i did some chest presses, leg presses, one 'ab' machine. it didn't seem to be working. the assisted lift machine as well as doing 100 crunches! yea yea!

I should make a goal to do 100 crunches a day. or every night before i go to bed. Stomach definition is what i'm going for, and while I realize to get the stomach I want it is a combination of fat-burning cardio and muscle training, it'll be easier to get that toned midsection once i tone those muscles. I  only have 7 weeks left to lose the 10 lbs and so far I'm not off to a great start. I need to lose a pound an a half every week to make that happen. So I REALLY have to watch what i'm eating and exercise more and harder- assuming my legs don't give me anymore trouble, and I just need to bust it out. Eating the way I normally would and just exercising more often, will only help a little. Especially when you're hungry after exercising and you eat back all the calories you just lost. or even adding more than you lost.

I hope I can keep motivated and keep moving. >< I want to look awesome. I want to fit into my bras. I want to lose 10 lbs. and I can do it. I just need to make some serious cut backs.
