Day one cont'd...

Ok so I finished my first day... so far so good! I can tell I have a lot of muscle to build up but in all due time. I am just hoping that next thing I know it will be six months down the road, I will be walking the stage and commencement and preparing for my big move to Portland! So yesterday I got a late start and didn't get to eat much... had to buy groceries and didn't get to the store until after lunch time. Through the day I ate a banana, tangerine and a kiwi for snacks. Oh, and a cup of hot tea right before bed. For dinner I cooked a shrimp and veggie stir fry. It was delicious!!! It didn't have much to it, but the baby shrimp that I used added just enough flavor to satisfy myself and my friend who joined for dinner! Try it out and tell me what you think!

Shrimp and Veggie Stir Fry


1 cup cooked brown rice
3 oz. of shrimp (I used frozen baby shrimp meat)
1/2 cup frozen broccoli
1/2 cup frozen red or green peppers
1 tbsp. canola oil
1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce

Directions: It's simple! All you have to do is combine all of the veggies and shrimp in a frying pan and sautee in the EVOO. After it's cooked add some soy sauce for flavor and when you think it's good place it on top of a bed of brown rice and voila!

*The modifications I made was fresh veggies rather than frozen, EVOO in place of canola oil and I added green onions.

This was a super easy dish to make, the longest step was the brown rice!

For my work out yesterday:
*1 hour of cardio-bicycle
*chest press
*shoulder press
*Daily routine: 50 crunches
                         25 leg lifts
                         50 bicycles
                         25 squats
                         15 sumos
                         50 calve raises
                         100 arm circles (alternating)
                         15 push ups
                         50 jumping jacks
                         1 minute plank

Needless to say I was definitely ready for bed by the time it was all said and done! Today is underway, look for tomorrows post!
