Day 2 - RevAbs

I did my 2nd RevAbs workout today - Fire Up Your Abs. I really loved Brett's fun and energetic attitude as well as how he had me "firing up" my abs for each exercise - even during the cardio. Although the workout was just 40 minutes long including the warm up and cool down, I was sweating. Again as expected, Round One has you thinking it's going to be easy, but then comes Round Two and you start to sweat and feel the burn.

He gives you...


...Mercy!


But only for 30 seconds, because then you know what's next - the Spice Round! In the Spice Round he always gives you a variation of each drill to make them more challenging. I think my favorite exercise in this workout was the Dumbbell Jacks.

Again, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's workout - Day 3, here I come!


Today's meals/snacks:

Breakfast: Bowl of Granola Banana Nut cereal with 1.5% Milk
Lunch: Half the portion of Pad Thai with Grilled Chicken at Noodles & Company
Snack: Peach yogurt with granola
Dinner: Finished the remaining portion from my Pad Thai lunch plus a toasted turkey and swiss cheese pita with mushrooms and green bell peppers. (The pita was absolutely delicious..I think Pitas are my favorite meal right now).
Snack: Apple and Banana nut muffin

Note: While I am trying to eat healthier, I have to remember that since I am still breastfeeding, I need to take in 300-500 more calories per day..but of course that doesn't mean "empty calories." I still need to eat healthy but make sure that I eat enough to provide all the necessary vitamins and nutrients for my little guy.
