Day 49 and 50

Good morning all! Okay, here's the rundown of the past 2 days...

Day 49:
Sunday, February 28 was Day 49. My back was still a bit sore but manageable. Instead of the gym, I went ice skating with my cousins at the local rink. OMG it was SO FUN! I had a great time. It was a great cardio workout. I skated for about 2 hours and boy did I feel it it my tush and legs.

Day 50:
50 Days! Hot damn! Monday, March 1 made 50 days. I love it! I made it back to the gym and it felt pretty darn good. MY back didn't ache as much and I was able to get through a leg and cardio workout. My exercises:

Walking lunges (light weight) *superset with* single-leg leg press
Single Leg Iso-Lateral Leg Press
Butt Blaster *superset with* One Leg Squats
Leg Extension
Standing Leg Curl
Abs
20 minute interval run

It felt great! My legs are sore now, but I'll live. I also weighed myself and I didn't gain or lose anything. I measured my waist and I lost an inch. Hot damn!

Hot damn is right, Sinnamon! Way to go on the ice skating, making 50 days, and loss of an inch! It never occurred to me to take measurements, but I feel that my pants are a bit looser. Yesterday was my weigh-in day, and I'm pleased to report that I lost 1/2 lb, for a total loss of 6 1/2 lbs !! And yesterday makes 4 weeks that I've been in the 365 day effort!

So, the blueberry coffee cake I had with breakfast was made by the boss's boss (R.M.) and though delicious I didn't go back for more. I wanted a lunch that would be an homage to my father who is in the hospital, so I went to Win Won (u know how it goes) and got wonton soup and ribs with lo mein. Though I had just done my weigh-in and therefore kicked off the beginning of the new week, I still used restraint in saving half for the next day!

Day 29 meals:
Breakfast: oatmeal, small square of blueberry walnut coffee cake
Lunch: small wonton soup w/packet of soup noodles, 1/2 order of boneless rib tips and lo mein
Dinner: salad w/some mozzarella, whole wheat pasta, 1/2 fillet of sole w/panko breading
Snack: sour pickle, cookies & bit of milk

Day 29 exercise:
ab work
booty-shaking with the dancing baby
3 sets of 8 reps leg stuff, like squats, extensions, calves, lunges
