Purification Day 15: Working Hard

I was feeling very unmotivated to work out after a day at work and I was thinking "hmm, maybe one day off," but then I looked in my log book and I had skipped two days ago! So I got my ass in gear and did HIIT (high intensity interval training); if I want to get in shape I need to work hard.

Like I said yesterday I wanted to switch it up from the jump roping I've been doing, so I intermixed two Blogilates HIIT training videos. I'm glad I made the switch, these videos were a lot more challenging, not to say that jump rope intervals are easy because they're not! I did this video twice and this video twice. You can do one video four times but I thought it would be more motivating to switch it up.

Needless to say I'm glad I did the workout today. I really think that I'm seeing improvements from just working out these two weeks, maybe I'm crazy.

Here were my meals for the day:

Breakfast: Peach-Raspberry Shake
- 1 peach
- a dozen raspberries
- water & crushed ice
- 1 tbsp of whole food fiber
- 1 tbsp of Whey Pro Complete
- 2 tbsp of SP complete

(Okay, using my two of my favorite fruits made this super delicious and I have to say, I'm actually getting used to having shakes for breakfast, they don't bother me like they did in the beginning.)

Lunch: Rice Bowl
- I had the same lunch today as I did yesterday; it was just too good to only eat once!

Dinner: Salad with Salmon
- Mixed greens, tomatoes, mushrooms, avocado, sun dried tomatoes, raspberries, cucumber, red peppers, celery and salmon. Drizzled with pomegranate balsamic and olive oil.

(Delicious! The only thing it was missing is cheese, can't wait to add that.)
