Hello again! Today’s “lunch” post comes at you a bit earlier today. I’m trying to figure out a new routine with my new work schedule, so bear with me. My orientation starts at noon today, so I’ve been on a roll of productivity all morning! I did have one minor setback. Apparently my sneakers are sitting next to the forgotten Whole Foods bag in Orlando. Grrreat. And apparently I threw my really old sneakers away after I spilled black wood stain all over them late summer. Double great. Refusing to sacrifice a workout, I took a ratty old pair of Ross’ sneakers and used cotton balls to add support and make the shoe fit me. It worked in a pinch for low impact exercise! Although I have to say that when I was walking around Publix before the gym I felt like big foot.
Work out:
- 20 minutes Stair Master (intervals, level 3)
- 30 minutes Elliptical (forward/ backward intervals, level 5)
- reverse crunches, 25
- lateral pull down (50 lbs, 3×10)
- upright row (50 lbs, 3×10)
- butterfly (30 lbs, 3×10)
- chest press (60 lbs, 3×10)
- tricep press (60 lbs, 3×10)
- shoulder press (30 lbs, 2×10)
- arm/ bicep curl (35 lbs, 3×10)
After I gym I showered, chugged water, got dinner thrown together in the crock pot and made lunch. I love being productive!!
Lunch was a smoothie in a bowl: spinach, light vanilla soymilk, 1/2 cup frozen mango, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, ice, scoop of chocolate brown rice protein powder, and a GoodBelly Mango shot.
I added some of this Bear Naked Triple Berry Crunch granola on top. I used to love this stuff, and I found some on sale plus had a $1.00 off coupon, so I picked some up this week. So fun, and perfect since I’m on a “burn homemade granola” streak.
I have no idea when I will be getting off today – I don’t know if today’s orientation will be a real/ normal Monday schedule or what. In case it is and I won’t be off until 8:00, my purse is stocked with a clif bar, apple and a water bottle.
I’ll see you all much later! If you get bored this afternoon, please check out this video I saw on Kristen’s latest post – AMAZING story of how 28 days on a vegan diet changed the health of a meat loving cowboy. Crazy results for 28 days.
On that note, I’m off to blow dry my hair and go to WORK! Wheee! 
Oh wow – that’s an amazing video clip! Have a lovely Monday!
Wow-those results are awesome!!
Good for you for keeping your workout plans! Hope you have a great first day at work
Thhis was an awesome episode of Dr. Oz, I really enjoyed it. I was happy got the cowboy too.
Great video clip! I was shocked when he said that he had an eating disorder. It takes a lot to admit that but it is true. Eating an unhealthy diet for years is not ok. Glad to see that he is healthier now
Wow! That is very cool. I hadn’t seen that yet! What a change in 28 days! This really motivated me this morning, Linds. You need to post something like this every Monday morning!
Have a GREAT first day!
That video is awesome. I really like Dr Oz.
Big foot eheh, now that’s dedication!
Have a great afternoon Lindsey!
Hope you had a great first day!
That’s dedication girl! I would have just used the excuse to sleep in
hahahhaha love it!!!
Hope you had a wonderful first day of work!!
Haha I love your resourcefulness with the shoe sitch. Way to go! The smoothie in a bowl looks delicious, too. I hope work went well!
