Saturday~ 7:30, 8:30 & 9:30 30 min Zumba in the circuit sessions MRS at 8am. 11am Zumba toning hour. Did 2-3 hours of gardening & chores. 2 turkey cheddar franks on a wheat bun & a few fries baked in toaster oven. Dinner was ? oh crap... really I can't remember 2 days ago. I've been trying very hard to put less emphasis on food & now I can't remember other than it was a good healthy choice & portion of food.
Sunday~Breakfast~ 1c. lucky charms & almond milk (I know... but you know what? I didn't like them & missed my choc. MRS...)
Lunch Cheeseburger on wheat bun & fresh real guac. with organic Boulder brand spinach/artichoke chips (pretty much the only chip I'll eat & are only like a special treat when on sale).
I spent pretty much the whole day gardening & rototilling. This is not to be taken lightly as a day off. Had Mass Impact prior & Rehydrate & lots of water during) since our $700 (paid for by AdvoCare checks) is just as demanding of a workout if not more than any weightlifting or Zumba or anything. It was wrangling the beast of a tiller thru the toughest hardest clay type soil you can imagine. It's only the 2nd time the ground has been broken & our 4 gardens are HUGE we're talking 10'x10' to 50'x20' in size. My hubby & I even took turns tag teaming to get all 4 gardens tilled. Not to mention I hoed like 3 rows & got some stuff planted yesterday too! Radishes, lettuce (2 varieties), 3 onion varieties, zucchini & carrots (2 varieties). I have more that needs to be planted but will have to wait for the next dry day. (not supposed to happen for another 5 days again) I also did some other manual labor around too. I had so much energy & I felt great. That would have just wiped me out & then some anytime in the past 5 years or more.
Mothers day dinner. VERY healthy! MIL is on the challenge & is losing weight & inches! Chicken with BBQ seasoning, venison, organic potatoes & carrots, frozen/fresh pumpkin with pumpkin pie spices on it (no buttery spread or anything) 1c. choc/vanilla almond milk... I ran out so it was a mixture. Swig of Coors Light (yup, still didn't taste good) & 1 PB bunny after MIL left. .5c. Trop50 with 2 nighttime recoveries & L-glutamine (both were needed as I was more sore going to bed & knew I didn't want to feel that way in the AM & I didn't).

THU~ "e" is for R"e"v Abs Day 2
Ok so this AM I'm like 30 min of ZIC & I really should do day 2 of Rev Abs (& I'm sure I'll suck it up & do it)... Ok my butt still hurts getting into the car. We're not talking my butt muscles.. Heck no, I've got buns o' steel I'm talking about my tender tail bone. It's like I fell on my butt on ice or something. Apparently, the hinder has gone soft from all of the Zumba & not getting down on a mat & I'm paying for it now. I never thought my pectorals & butt would ache so much doing a "Abs" oriented workouts. My abs... not so much, my lower has a little ache only when moved. Quads & upper abs are like PHFFTT, WHATEVER... I didn't notice anything.... workout what workout?
- Breakfast~ 9:40am Choc. MRS & .25 pink lemonade spark at 10:45am (finished around 12:30pm) I'd been noticing that I've only been having .25 of a scoop not even .5
- Lunch~
remainderpart of of skin removed chicken, 1 bun with small partial pat of margarine, 2 serving of white/yellow sweet corn with herbs. I got full as I ate the chicken last. Still part remaining & wasn't even a card deck size of meat eaten off of it. - 3 Catalyst 15 min prior to 30 min ZIC
- 1 O2 ~1 hour prior, Mass Impact~ 35 min prior, 45 min Rev Abs day 2, 2 servings of Rehydrate, 1 Tsp. L-Glutamine afterwards mixed into remaining Rehydrate. Walked dogs some in there too.
- Dinner~1.5 c. of leftover pasta/raviolis & 5 medallion coin sized breaded vegan eggplant Parmesan bites, water &.... I don't know what possessed me but had some of the sugar dried fruit & dehydrated sugar apples. Not to mention 4 small PB choc bunnies... That was 2 bunnies too many. I shrugged it off but hubby was correct. Was a bit of overkill even if I did workout extra.
- Bedtime~ .75 C. Trop 50 with 2 nighttime recoveries & 1 Tsp. L-Glutamine again.

Wed 5/4~ "e" is for Tripl"e" Zumba
Morning~ok so after the abnormal workout of pushups, crunches, booty bridges (love that exercise & that's not sarcastic) & more I am surprisingly hardly touched with anything sore at all thanks to nighttime recovery. My tailbone however is a mildly different story. Stupid butt bone from laying on the carpet & padding (even with a yoga mat too is still tender) it's ok though as Day 2 won't happen until at least Thursday. Make way for 30 min of ZIC, 1 hour of ZT & 1 hour of Zumba.... none of which involve getting my booty on the floor.
Breakfast ~ 6oz. Greek Yoplait peach yogurt.
Lunch~ super early as expected Chicken Q. Roasted chicken 1/2! I only ate a thigh & drumstick. Scraped all of the skin off of the rest & had the small amount of baked beans & potato salad for lunch. A small apple later for dessert.
Snack ~ 1 mini choc. chip KT cookie... why 1 because it tasted like not good. I was very disappointed & yet pleased at the same time. I won't be doing it again since it didn't taste good to me anyways.
Late snack at 3pm~ part of a small banana (it had some brown spots I didn't eat on it.)
4:32pm 1 O2® for raising my oxegen levels 1.5 hours of Zumba tonight (no one for my shed Zumba at 7:15pm tonight) :( My late night ladies came at 6:15pm instead, so at least it's not me . Going to try out Mass Impact® (AdvoCare product) too starting at 5pm! Whoo Hoo is that going to be fun. Starting on getting ripped going on tonight! I'm ok with that & the new scale at Curves in Holmen that confirmed I was down to 134.2! Not that it's an official weigh in day or time, but hey I'll take it. I'm sure it will continue to trend towards removing my crease line where handles used to be since I will stay on the trim line products thru beginning of June.
pre dinner snack 8pm~ 5 dried caramel apple dehydrated chips & 1/4 cup of dried mango, pineapple, papaya slices. (all of which were FAR too yummy to have been healthy which is why I just got a partial serving)
Dinner 9:20pm~ 1.5c. wheat pasta & tortellini with smoked cheese in it (not much stuffing but enough to flavor it) pesto & olive oil "sauce" more of a drizzle if you call it that, I can't wait for fresh basil & fresh parsley pesto, 1c. dark choc milk. 2 small. choc pb bunnies. I knew I shouldn't have weighed myself.... Seems I get cocky & then don't lose anything on Thurs. or Fri. when I do that.
I'll have to check my ego at the door & stay on task to make sure I see 133 on Saturday AM.
bedtime~ .5 Trop50 with L-glutamine & 2 nighttime recoveries. Thru the day I was pretty good. Butt is a bit sore tonight & my pecs from all the pushups too but that didn't happen to start aching until I started using them during Zumba. I had a little bit of a lower abs ache when I was working out as well but nothing unmanageable.
Breakfast ~ 6oz. Greek Yoplait peach yogurt.
Lunch~ super early as expected Chicken Q. Roasted chicken 1/2! I only ate a thigh & drumstick. Scraped all of the skin off of the rest & had the small amount of baked beans & potato salad for lunch. A small apple later for dessert.

Tuesday~ "e" is for Tripl"e" workout s"e"ssions & R"e"v Abs
Special tip of the day~ Working out 30 min. 2 times a day is VERY & MORE effective to keep your metabolism up thru the entire day rather than ramping it up only once for an hour during the day.
Breakfast~Vanilla MRS.... feeling kinda screwed outta my Choc. MRS but hey, I can always do that tomorrow & sometimes change is good. .25 scoop pink lemonade Spark.
Teaching Zumba 30 min. at the gym 3 blocks down from work.
Lunch 1:45pm~ veggie burger (southwest style) on small wheat on half of a mini loaf of sub bread...cheese... oh well it made it taste so yummy. 6 oz. Greek honey vanilla yogurt.. full.
Snack~ 3:45pm a small green apple.
ZIC~ 30 min. Curves
Ok, so I got home & still had too much energy. Went for a brisk 15 min. walk with the dogs (it was their 2nd of the day & they weren't thrilled about it) & hubby too & then he was like I'm tired but you seem to still have so much energy. So I popped in the RevAbs Day 1 DVD's & startup DVD. It was pretty cool to see that they had Brazil martial arts incorporated into some of the moves. Some of them looked very similar to Zumba moves too. So I did a little over an hour of strength training focusing on entire body & mostly on abs also. Most I did was full out but I did some of the modifications... I've never been a 3 sets of 16 pushups kind of person or neck cranking for regular situps. It was pretty intense but do-able (especially when some of the modifications were done & I didn't add all of the "spice" in the 3rd set of reps. Not because I was tired but I didn't want to mess up my 2.5lb. Zumba Toning weights. When I do it again I'll get the dumbells from downstairs. Stupid DVD player in the workout room still won't work with the new larger TV correctly. VHS works but not the DVD player visual. :P Being a new set I need the visual for awhile until I just need the verbal.
Dinner~ 1 serving of rare steak, 1.5c. fresh/frozen pumpkin with pie spices on it, 1 serving Trader Joe's grilled marinated eggplant/zucchini. 2~1" dark choc with seasalt squares. (personally I would have eaten the whole bar I swear, but it was already a partial opened bar & shared with hubby to make the excuse to myself that there wasn't any more. No almond milk tonight, lots of water though.
.5c. of Trop. 50 juice (new container) & my 1 Tbs. of L-glutamine & 2 nighttime recovery pills.

Monday~ "e" is for "e"verything
Breakfast~ 10am not kidding got busy & kept forgetting to drink my MRS or even mix it until then. .5 pink lemonade Spark. (I didn't have any over the weekend) Didn't have any headaches or caffeine withdrawl or anything. Didn't miss it much being on "e" I have noticed that it practically takes the need for Spark out of my system too.
Lunch 1pm (stomach hit snooze)~ 1 HB egg, I LOVE eggs. Lettuce w/ Italian & BB Greek Yogurt 6oz.
Snack 2:45pm~ 1 med. banana
5:15pm WoW what an insanely busy day. :P Got lots done but used the energy that I needed.
Wrapped it up with a haircut from my friend Georgia. She's so awesome, funny & much more personable & not rushed when cutting my hair. Usually she leaves it too long & then recuts it shorter. She got it on the 1st time tonight! Short & just the way I want to keep it easy for Zumba & showering quickly. Got to get it bleached again but that's a longer night.
Dinner 8:20pm~ Veggie burger with cheese (yes the real stuff tonight) K & M on a wheat bread/sub 1/2 of one (no buns in the house) 1c. choc chai rice milk. 1 serving of frozen/fresh zucchini, 1c. frozen/fresh pumpkin. (very small amount of butter on both) 1 scoop BB/pomagranate frozen yogurt & 1Tbs. hot fudge.... wait I'm not done yet, I think I'm going to activate the food cops tonight. 1~1" square of dark choc. perhaps not. No Zumba tonight. :(

Weekend 4/20 & 5/1 "e" is for new cloth"e"s
Saturday~
Breakfast~small low sugar granola bar & watermelon
Lunch~3 chicken taquitos (not a great choice but could have been much worse) & salad
1c. dark choc. milk
Dinner ~Sushi (cheat meal) I had a reasonable amount of food & hot & sour soup cup
1.5 hours of Zumba in the Circuit
Sunday~ Breakfast 1/2 (non-sugar) cchip muffin & 1 banana
Lunch~salad with egg, ham, black olives, tomatoes, chives & basalmic dressing 4 Frito's chili cheese chips & fresh fruit with a tiny bit of cream cheese dip on it.
Is it wrong that I found the perfect fancy dress in a girls size 16 & it fit to wear to my cousin's wedding? I'm going to use the other size 6 dress for the brunch the next day instead... It wasn't quite fancy enough for the wedding setting I think but would work beautifully for brunch. :) all set to go & even if more shrinkage should occur nothing will fall off so I think I'm all set!
Snack~ 6 pretzels
Dinner~ 1 venison steak, .75c. pumpkin, 2c. shredded zucchini,1.5c. of dark choc. almond milk, 2~1" squares of dark chocolate with sea salt.
