I was super psyched to finally get the email with the weigh in word in it! I wish I checked my email before I ate breakfast so I could've gotten a more accurate weight but it's all good :)

I got my workout in today! It was a back and biceps day as well as cardio! I'm sure I'll feel the biceps work tomorrow. Today, I felt yesterday's leg workout. I totally feel it when I sit, walk, lie down, and every thing else I do. It's fantastic! It's always a sign of a great workout!

Tomorrow is a straight up cardio day. And it's going to be day one of my couch to 5K training. I need to redo my running playlist to get me pumped up for it. That or I need to be mad cause that's when my running is the most productive lol.

As per my usual Sunday routine, it's a prep day. I prepare my week's food. So I'll make my little snacks and grill/bake my chicken and fish so I can just have it with me on the go. I mainly focus on snacks since it's my snacking that usually does my calorie counting in. I try to make more nutritional, protein-packed snacks since that's usually what fills me up and can keep me going until my next meal. I do protein shakes and bars, but those get old and I like variety; I save my shakes and bars for post workout needs.

Since the start is coming up and today was weigh in day, I'm posting my measurements in order to show overall changeand also to be held accountable. I like to see more changes than just on the scale. And measurements, no matter how embarassing at times, keeps me headed in the right direction. Also, taking a note from Mr. Chris Powell himself from his book, I'm going to be doing my smart fundamentals on here.
