Hey there.  I am on a roll…don’t stop me now, LOL.  Here is another Graceful Indulgence TIP – To maximize your metabolism and burn more calories, implement interval training or speed burst into your work out.  This combined with resistance training will help you begin to see the results of the hard work you are putting in.  Don’t just rely on cardio, anything is better than nothing but ask yourself this….how has it been working for you? Are you getting the results you want?  If not then you absolutely need to switch it up.  Find a trainer and ask questions on what you can do to get the most out of your exercise regimen.

workout – Bow-Flex Tread-climber, interval training.  Stop and start for 32 minutes.  I go as fast as I can as hard as I can for as long as I can. Then I recover for however long it takes me to and start to crank it up again. FYI, it is ideal to get in a minimum of 8 speed burst.

Breakfast – Berry shake, vegan protein mix, walnuts, flax seeds, 30 fresh blueberries, 3/4 cup mixed berries, scoop of fiber. Yummy!  It was extra good today for some reason.  I saved some and drank it after my workout for a recovery meal. 20 oz water mixed with Paleogreen, couple sips of some mangosteen tea.

Lunch – 3 baked lemon pepper wing drumettes, whole can of Amy’s organic low sodium chunky tomato bisque soup, gluten free. 16 oz water. Medium honey crisp apple sliced with sea salt.

Dinner – Outback! House salad no croutons or cheese, oil & vinegar, ground pepper and sea salt. Hamburger medium well no bun, red onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard, ketchup.  Steamed veggies broccoli, carrots, snap peas no oil, 1/2 brown bread! 1 Margarita on the rocks with salt and 1 skinny margarita at home.  I suppose you can see a reoccurring theme here.  My alcoholic beverage of choice is tequila.  I L.O.V.E. margarita’s.  If I can get a skinny one then so be it, if not oh well.
