Day 14

I came across a site called FitOCracy

It is a social media site where you can track your progress (i.e. what you eat, your workouts) and also chat with other members on the site about your progress and ideas/thoughts you have. 

Best of all it can help you achieve any fitness goals that you have and you can chat with people with the same or similar goals as you. 

I made an account and used it to track my workout out today 

25 minutes running on treadmill

10 sets of squats

10 sets of lunges (each leg)

5 minutes of high knees 

8 minutes skip rope

15 minute walk on treadmill 

Day 13

Today I went and got a Christmas tree with my family and when we got back for lunch I made us all a nice warm healthy chicken avocado soup, I found the recipe off of Pinterest

2 chicken breasts

3 teaspoons olive oil, divided

salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

1 1/2 cups green onions, finely chopped, divided

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 tomato, diced

3 - 14.5oz cans chicken broth

1/8 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

2 avocados, diced

1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped

 {it made 5 servings}

 

 

 I didn't have time to workout today since I had a hockey game but before hockey in the change room I found an awesome music playlist on Youtube that I played to get the team pumped up

Day 12

For breakfast today I found some ideas on Pinterest and I had some vanilla yogurt topped with granola pieces and blueberries and strawberries

This morning I saw an commercial on TV for Hip Hop AB's, a training fitness video to help people get in shape, so I went on Youtube and found a Hip Hop Ab's workout video and wanted to try it so I did

I did the whole workout roughly 30 minutes

Day 11

So lately Iv been having bad anxiety from culminating and exams so I thought since it's Friday  it would be a cool idea to end the week with some meditating 

So I found a Youtube video for meditating, it really helped me relax from this crazy week

Day 10

I found this great chart on Tumblr to help replace my cravings with other healthier alternatives

So today after school I had a glass of water and a bowl of fruit 

(strawberries, blueberries, melon) to help fulfill my sugary cravings 

Day 9

Today I had a hockey practice, I found/had a great protein shake on Pinterest to have after my practice

{I also added my vanilla Protein powder in 1 scoop (25 grams)}

Last night I messaged my friend on Facebook who is very active and asked for some tips and advice to help and improve my fitness 

 she gave me some goods ideas like:

- Carry a water bottle (if okay with teacher) to each of your classes to stay hydrated throughout day

-Try to plan your day to cause less stress on your self

- try going for a walk during lunch break

-if your watching TV try doing jumping jacks during commercials

-eat the right amount of servings! (makes big different)

-Make sure you have a day off, over doing it will eventually tier you out!

Day 8

I must admit it... from yesterdays workout my calf and thigh mussels are very soar...

 

I decided to search on Yahoo for any exercises or workouts I could do that were not as intense and found so many ideas. But today I just decided to walk/jog on my treadmill for 30 minutes 

While on the treadmill I listened to another great playlist I found off of Youtube to keep me motivated even through my aching legs

Yahoo also gave me a few ideas on how to make my legs not as stiff and soar... after being on the treadmill I stretched for a good 10 minutes and iced my legs to the areas that were hurting.
