Happy Holiday for those who have it off

Today was another good one. I was going to start the day off with the P90X Chest and Back workout this morning, but I was still sore in the arms from the upper body workout I did on Friday. That program was push ups and pull ups, so i did not feel I could give my best. I opted to go with the back up plan. I did a leg workout instead. It was a good one. Nothing too heavy though, I don't want to be sore and not be able to do my cardio.

I completed 45 minutes on the elliptical and burned roughly 500 calories. I feel real good so far. I have been paying more attention to my water intake. I am trying to drink 8 oz every hour I am awake. That will put me at a gallon or a little higher. That is right where I want to be. I have been making sure to take my multi-vitamin and green tea extract. I made a great meal last night that I wanted to share. I sauteed 4 oz chicken breast seasoned with Mesquite seasoning. I also sauteed green pepper, onion, and a few sliced mushrooms. I split it all between two whole wheat tortilla wraps. I suppose its called fajitas without the fajita seasoning. I added 16oz of water for a drink and wham!! a nice clean meal at about 400 cals. I made enough to have a serving for lunch today. I am trying to change up my meals a little. I am used to serving of protein, carb, and veggie or fruit. I need to find a way to mix it up. I am creative like that and love to cook. Maybe I'll post a recipe or two each week for you guys to try. We will see....

Today was an overall win. I am looking forward to this weeks weigh-in. I expect a 2 to 3 lb weight loss this week. I don't expect anything bigger like last week. The free ride is over and its time to get down and dirty and earn those pounds. It's almost 10pm and I need to get to bed because 4:30 comes very quickly. C-YA guys and gals tomorrow.
