gonna make the stair master my.... Friend;)

We all have a part of our body that we like the best. And Imo sure most women are like me and have several parts of their body they don’t like. For me the part I like the best is my butt. Even when I am at my biggest I like my butt. So needless to say I love LEG day!! Why, you may ask do I like leg day so much?? Well because I get to do squats and they work your booty while working the legs too!! I must be a bit of a sadist because  I love squats and lunges! I love when they hurt and make me squeal! Because I know if I am squealing then I am doing what needs to be done to make my butt look GOOD!! 

I had every intention of running about 3 miles today. I mean I was dressed and ready. I was pumped. And guess what?? Nope. No run. But….

What I did do was I got up on the stair climber. I only did 15 min. But I DID 15 min!! I may not like it but I know it is the best way to blast calories if Im gonna be on a machine. I was sweating like crazy after  5 min and by 15 I was soaked! And I hadn’t even started my leg/calf workout yet.

The leg work out was great:) I jumped 20 lbs on the leg press from last week. So I am up to 130 lb. Leg press. Added 5 lbs to my leg extension,  45 lbs.  Sumo squat is still my favorite so far! I got low low low with a 25 lb. Weight in my arms

70 lbs with the leg curls, 120 lb. Calf raises and 35 lb. Seated calf raises. I was proud of my self, especially when I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing and did my standing calf raises wrong so I ended up doing another set the correct way so really I did 4 sets of standing calf raises!! Whoo hooo!! Gonna have some sexy calves this summer and I love it. I mean really what is better than having a great butt and sexy calves for those cute little summer dresses?? 

 I got some new weight gloves today. Not really what I wanted but they will do for now. Simple basic black:/ I really want some cool turquoise or some wild green….some with personality!!  Then I decided ok I need some to get serious about the diet part of this. For me its hard to get my meals and snacks in each day when I am at work. I eat my oatmeal for breakfast and I try my best to get some yogurt in too. I do my vitamins and then I get a snack in about 3 hours later. But the next one is a bit tougher, Im a mail carrier and I sit in my car for about 5 hours a day. There are not many places to stop and get a healthy meal out on the route, so I decided to grab some meal replacement shakes from the local GNC. And they are YUMMY!! Taste just like really god chocolate milk. So this may be easier than I thought it would be. I ordered a really cute cooler bag form Thirty-One ( I got the cute blue one)

and Imo gonna stick some ice packs and my shake and maybe some string cheese in there. This should get me through until I am done and its time for my next meal. Man Jamie Eason wants us eating A LOT of food!! But she is right eating more times a day stokes the fires of the metabolism and when that happens your body understands that more food is coming in a couple hours so it better burn up what is in there now or else!! 

Tonight I got some of the chicken breasts that I grilled up on Sunday afternoon and some Tri -colored pasta noodles and lots and lots of yummy veggies! I cooked the pasta up al dente sprayed the pan with some olive oil pam and put in baby carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, and some yellow squash cooked those all until they were fork tender. Then I got some of the yummy philadelphia pesto cream warmed the cubed grilled chicken in the skillet and mixed approximately ½ cup of the sauce with the pasta, veggie, chicken mix. WOW!!!! Everyone in the house loved it. That even includes the 17 year old wonder cat, Pepper!!

Got any yummy low cal recipes you have tried out?? Let me know I need some ideas! I love food and I want to make the recipes that are good for us. So that everyone even wonder kitty healthy!
