My SMART Quest for today is: Oh heck! Have fun with my reward meal day! Why not? It is just what I need and deserve (do I sound convincing? lol!)
For more about my Mindset & Meal Plan please scroll to the bottom of this entry.
I am a bit worried about my reward meal, but really this is a good thing...a treat! Anything I want!
SLEEP: 6 1/2 hours - I went to bed again at 10:30 pm , this is good for me, usually it is much later!
AWOKE: 5:00 am
WARM UP: 5:30 am - since I am do9ing the HIIT workkout I needed to do 5 minutes of warming up so I incresed my reps in my normal workout and added an extra round.
Push Ups x 12
Jumping Jacks x 20
Performed 3 rounds of this circuit
Today I am doing the High Intensity Interval Training Workout, week 4 from Scott Colby's Ageless Abs 2 Program.
I am not a huge fan of this type workout and prefer the Tabatas as I don't tend to like 1:00 minute work 2:00 minutes lower cardio active recovery. Scot had a great idea of changing up the time a bit so I am doing 90 seconds (1 1/2 minutes ) work & 90 seconds (1 1/2 minutes) active recovery.
Metabolic Ignition Phase - Week 4

Jump Down and do a squat thrust with push up Switch Kicks from Insanity Program   Star Crunch |
Each exercise took 3 minutes for a total of 24 minutes (8 exercises), plus 5 minutes of cool down & 5 minutes of warm up. Wowza this was a good workout!
I added a finisher of:
Knee Raises - (Knee Pull Up on UBP Dip Bar) x 25 reps
Call me crazy, but I wanted to do these extra reps. I haven't had time to try different exercise with the UBP Dip Bar so this was a good way to try it out! Wow oh wow I could feel this in my abs!
Okay, so I had to take my mother to the doctor to see her orthopedic surgeon as she fell on one of her knee replacements. I ran out without any recovery drink or meal, (not good), but I forgot to eat (yes) so my first meal was not until 10:30 am.
I ended up having a fun day of eating. I went to a sort of Pub Restaurant. I told the waitress it was my day to be bad, and asked what should I have? I am happy to report I had my first "Fried Pickles" can you believe it? I had heard Snookie from Jerseyshore (never have watched the show) likes them. I have to say, they were really good...Odd, but good. Salty (not good) so I am thristy. I also had fried Southwestern eggrolls - Basically flour tortillas rolled with corn, black beans, cheese, jalapenos, etc, and fried...yum! I felt really sick about 1 hour after I ate this. I had a small Gelato to settle my stomach and my sweet tooth! Had some more chocolate when I came home and tasted a cheese pizza I made for my daughter, but I didn't want dinner, I am still full, ugh!

MINDSET: Hey, I made it! I had fun, I am not going to sweatit. After reading the posts on the Ageless Abs 2 list, they are right, once you start eating healthy, a normal meal will seem like a huge meal. While I ate bad things today I can't say my protions were huge and I stopped eating as soon as I started feeling a tiny bit full. Thank goodness as I was feeling a bit nauseous, lol. I feel so much better today and now I have until Monday to get myself back in shape and the junk out of my system. no social plans for the weekend so I should be okay!
