#106. Get Abs

So Bella and I decided to get going on finishing our bucket list, starting with getting ripped. That's right. I am finally gonna have a flat stomach and some definition of my ab muscles when I flex. We started by choosing a time to exercise on the weekends: 2:00pm. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we do cardio for 20 mins-this is either running up the stairs in our dorm, playing just dance, or looking up cardio exercises to do in our room. Next, we do 20 mins of straight ab workouts. And then we finish with 20 mins of either arm, leg, or butt exercises. Mmhhmm fun stuff! We are also eating healthier. Salads make up the main course, along with other healthy stuff that we find in the dining commons of UNR. We are gonna stay away from fried foods and dairy as much as possible, but once a week we are allowed to eat bad. We also only get one dessert a day. As an added incentive, our roomie, Brigitte, and her boyfriend, Danny, brought up the idea of making a bet on who could get the best abs by the end of the school year. The winner gets $20, and I'm gonna win that money! I also expect to lose weight, so we weighed ourselves, right now I am 116lbs, and every week were gonna see our progress. I'm excited to be getting some abs!
Today is the second day of our new healthy lifestyle and I have to say that I'm in pain! I woke up extremely sore-which I think is the worst feeling in the world. My shoulders hurt soo bad and so do my legs and arms and especially my stomach. But it's a good sore! :) I know it's gonna pay off soon enough!
I'm going to try to keep track of what I ate and what we worked out every day here:
  Saturday 2/26/2011-We did cardio in our room, abs, and arm workouts. I ate: salad (lettuce, spinach, spring mix, chicken, carrots, cucumbers, olives, croutons, banana peppers, and fat-free raspberry vinagarette), pepperoni and sausage stromboli, rice, and pineapples with cottage cheese, and an oatmeal raisin cookie.
  Sunday 2/27/2011-We ran up and down 7 flights of stairs(afterward our legs were shaking uncontrollably), abs, and legs. I ate: salad, turkey, mashed potatoes, rice, corn, curried zucchini, cranberry sauce(one of my favorite foods), and some chocolate thing for dessert.
Well that's too hard to keep up with! hahaha So I'm not gonna keep track of what I ate on here...
