Lose weight the fun way.

So, today I took a break from the gym. My roommate and I plan to go on MWF, so I plan to do an at home workout and a squat challenge on TTHS. Today's food intake was okay...until I got home from school. I take a cake decorating class, which is conterproductive to my weight challenge, but I've committed to giving my snacks to my friends. I did have a smedium piece of the cake today though. Other than that, food wise I did pretty well. I had oatmeal and tea for breakfast, tuna on a whole grain pita with grapes and strawberries for lunch, and salmon with mac and cheese and mixed veggies for dinner. And of course, tons of water.

I started the squat challenge today. I found it on Instagram a while ago but never did the exercises. It is a 16 week at home program aimed at lifting and rounding the booty. And it's not just squats. Here's what I was supposed to do today.

Front Kick: 5 sets of 14 reps (each leg)

Lunge Kickbacks:4 sets of 12 reps

Box Bridge: 4 sets of 8 reps

Single Leg Split Squat: 3 sets of 12 reps

Chair Squat Jump: 6 sets of 16 reps

I struggled through it but ya'll I did everything but 5 sets of the chair squat jump. Mainly because I don't have a chair and the stool was wayyy to high. And I was actually sweating a little, which is new for me because I rarely sweat at all....

Anyways, back to the gym tomorrow.

Cool work out- I'll have to look up a few of those moves like the Box Bridge - don't know what that is! I sweat like a beast!!! Always have! When I was in highschool, I was in dance line and no one wanted to stand next to me in the kick line because they would have to put their hands on my sweaty back and shoulders! When I teach Zumba I look like I have gone for a swim at the end with a bright red face and puddles! So you are lucky!!!! Good luck today!!
