Ahh, Push It...Push It REAL Good!

SO I have come to Day 3 and can say that I actually feel good about this whole fitness / health experience.  I started out the day by actually eating breakfast for once.  WooHoo!  For those that know me, my regular diet has consisted of coffee, coffee, some more coffee, dinner, and coffee!  Oh yeah, did I mention coffee?  LOL!  But NOT today.  Oh no, I had a nice healthy bowl of Honey Graham O's for breakfast, a corned beef sandwich for lunch, and a delicious grilled chicken salad for dinner.  Yeah, I did have an iced caramel macchiato as a morning snack.  I am trying to ween myself off of them and think I have found a better alternative until I can completely stop drinking coffee.  Did I just say completely stop drinking coffee?  Who am I kidding here?  OK...so let's work on better alternatives to the iced caramel macchiato addiction first and we can see what happens from there.  So I have found that getting an iced non-fat latte with splenda is good and only 60 calories.  Not as good as my macchiato taste wise, but still pretty good, and definitely better calorie wise.  I think I can get used to it.  :o)

So with my healthy eating / drinking commitments starting to appeal more and more to me, let's get to the fitness side of things.  I made the title of this blog "Ahh, push it...Push it real good".  Although not quite what the old 80's song by Salt N Pepa really had in mind, I think it fits completely with my exercise / workout today.  I started off by vacuuming and cleaning the filter of the pool in the heat of the day.  Yeah, I was sweating and unscrewing the top off of the filter is no walk in the park either.  Just ask my Mom.  That thing is on there tight!  I then proceeded to take in some Sculpt 1-2 with Tony Horton and his crew.  Although my body is still pretty sore (yesterday's Sweat / Cardio / Ab Ripper contributed GREATLY to the pain), I managed to do ALL of the push-ups and finished out the entire workout!  Can I get a what, what?  Yeah baby that's right, I did all of the push-ups!  So yeah, I pushed it...I pushed it REAL good today.  And you know what?  I feel GREAT!  Bring on tomorrow's workout of Sweat / Cardio / Ab Ripper Tony!  You got nothing on me!  I have Decided...Committed...and will Succeed!  Stay tuned...
