Fat Loss Project Day 18- 1 Oct 09

Cardio warmup 5 minutes ( ran around the block dragging both dogs - they don't like my new routine) Used this as my 4 sets of intervals, running 2 minutes of high intensity and 2 minutes of low intensity. Good thing my dogs cannot BLOG.
Strength: Getups- 5 lb weights 15 reps of 3 sets ( wanted to increase but thought it might be too soon.)
Pushups: 15 reps at 3 sets ( I really worked on my form and not the reps)
Burpees with Jump: 15 reps at 3 sets ( Another one that I am now doing in front of a full length mirror so I can adjust my form).
Walking Lunges- 18 total ( Doing OK with these ) Still waiting for my thighs to quit hurting.
Standing Band Rotations - 13 in each direction , 3 sets each ( shortened the width to give a tiny more resistance)
Band Pull-downs - 13 reps , 3 sets.

Menu:
Breakfast 5:00am: 2 whole eggs with 1/3 cup liquid egg whites, 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1/2 cup chopped red peppers and 3 sliced white mushrooms, 1 diced green onion sauteed in 1 tbl olive oil and added to the egg mixture. Had 1/4 of a grapefruit.
Snack 7:00am: shake of 1/2 scoop of my protein powder, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 banana, 1 tbl almond butter.
Lunch 11:00am: Mexican Salad ( I made this earlier in the week but my husband ate the other half so I am making this all over again) (He will be eating the other half again because he loved it.)
Snack 3:00pm: 1 cup Edamame beans tossed with 1/2 tbl olive oil and a tiny pinch of grey sea salt.
Dinner: 6:30pm: Salmon burger on greens mixed with 1 egg, 1 tbl olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, 2 green onions and fresh dill. Served with 2 cups of mixed greens with tomato and sliced cucumber.
No snack at night, I was tired and went to bed.
