Pact Day 8 & 9

Hi all!

Sorry for the lapse in writing the past two days, but its been pretty busy. Hopefully you can forgive me. I didn't realize that there were a bunch of folks actually reading my blog and I was questioned as to why I hadn't written about my days. I actually have a bunch to write about so this one will be a long one.

Here's the nitty-gritty on the two days:

Day 8
Food:
60 oz water throughout the day
10oz protein shake & banana
1 balance bar (cookie dough - yum!)
Chicken sandwich & salad
1/4 lb burger on wheat with fruit salad
12oz Michelob Ultra (I was at a casino, so I had to splurge a bit)

Workout:
Preacher curls - 12 reps @ 40lbs x3
Tricep Pushdowns - 12 reps @ 40lbs x 3
Bicep curls - 12 reps @ 30lbs (15 each dumbbell) x 3
Dips - 12 reps x 3
50 crunches

Day 9
Food:
60 oz water throughout the day
Egg & soy sausage sandwich (Orowheat "rolls" are so good!)
Fruit salad
Country Club from Jimmy John's w/ dill pickle
Grilled chicken breast marinated in honey and spices (delicious)
Hash brown

Workout:
Leg press - 12 @ 130lbs x 3
Leg curls - 12 @ 60lbs x 3
Leg extensions - 12 @ 80lbs x 3
Calf raises - 12 @ 60lbs x 3
V-Crunches - 25 reps
Rotory Torso - 12 reps on each side
Abdominal Crunch - 25 @ 70lbs

In addition, to the workout yesterday I also had to prepare food for a potluck event today. I made a homemade chicken, veggie and pasta salad and deviled eggs. The chicken pasta salad is delicious!! So simple too. Boil the chicken with bay leaves, chop up some veggies, toss it all with some al dente pasta, add some light mayo, spice it up and VOILA! you have a delicious lunch meal. I can't wait for my co-workers to try it.

Tomorrow I'll write about the amazing smoothie I concocted for this morning's breakfast and the workout from tonight. I also emailed my former trainer to get some tips and exercise ideas, so I'll keep you posted!
