Booya! Ten days in and I feel great about it. Plus, now that all the students are heading home for the summer, the gym here on campus is practically empty after work. Its nice to be able to workout without having to wait ages to get on a machine or use some weights. I also feel a lot less self conscious when I look like a hot mess after a hard workout. :) In addition, my diet has improved tremendously. I think the fact that I'm doing a smoothie or breakfast first thing in the morning is having a major impact on my energy, mood and workouts. I even turned down soda yesterday which is a major milestone since I love my Pepsi.
Day 10:
Food
60 oz water throughout the day
16 oz smoothie (check out the recipe below)

10oz strawberry protein shake

Feeling good today! This evening is biceps & triceps and cardio. I'm kinda stoked to go. :) Here is that smoothie concoction I created, so try it sometime!
4 strawberries
1 banana
3 tablespoons of Fage greek yogurt
4-5 icecubes
1/2 - 3/4 cup of orange juice
1 scoop of whey protein powder
Blend it up and pour yourself a delicious healthy treat! It made enough to fill my travel mug and about 3/4 of a glass that I gave to my roommate. Enjoy! If you have some other ideas for delicious smoothies, please comment on here so I can try them!!!
