Day 7 !? I thought I was doing this longer!

Alright so it's Day 7! I thought it was day 8, but then I remembered I did miss a day. Either way I feel pretty great! I'm really excited to see the results since I can feel them happening! (I use so many exclamation points, but it shows my excitement! Haha).

Today I got through 20 minutes of Jillian Michaels - Yoga Melt Down, with only a few minor breaks during an exercise. I still cannot do the sun Salutations. I just don't feel I'm to the point yet. I'm still on level 1, so I am hoping that by the end of the month or a little into March I can start to try Level 1 AND 2 together. 



With my Yoga Melt down I also start the 30 Day Challenge with BodyRock Tv. 8 exercises, 50 seconds each, as many as you can do! So no need to feel like you have to do 50 sit ups in 50 seconds. I only got through a few! I'm hoping to try some more of their exercises the more I get into this!

My cheat food!

I don't care much for junk food to begin with other than pop and the odd time I like cookies, and I'm not one for fast food that much, there is one place I can always enjoy and never feel guilty about! SUBWAY! It's definitely my favorite lazy day, I don't want to cook, and don't want to slave over a stove kind of day. I don't go all out. I always get an over roasted chicken breast on flat bread. And I usually just get lettuce and mayo. If I have a 12 inch I eat lettuce and mayo on one side and then add pickles and cucumbers on the other. Mainly just to pick it off and eat it when I get home anyway haha . 

What I've noticed about myself in the last 7 days of working out, is that craving for sugar foods isn't really there anymore. And if I do I have a little bit of pop. I've also realized that I now crave healthy snack foods, I don't have muxch taste for noodles as much as I used to love them, and I don't eat as many carbs as I use too. I do need to stock my fridge up on the green things to keep the feeling going!

QUICK TIP! 
I seen this on my facebook (VIA BodyRocTV) wall and thought it was need to share! :)

Having trouble sleeping? 

Here's a helpful tip…Eat a KIWI!
Researchers found that kiwi's have serotonin, a chemical that helps regulate your sleep cycle.

 Like I said, I tried the 30 Day Body Rock Challenge for the first time, and boy was it hard! Here is how I did!
