Just Another Tuesday

This day was pretty uneventful. Jessica had the day off and I headed out the door about 7:25am to get to the gym and get my workout on. According to the Kris Grethin training program today is a rest day- pshhh- I don't think so. I get one rest day a week and that's Sunday. Instead I did 45 minutes on the stairstepper and 15 minutes on the elliptical. Jessica loves the eliptical but I have decided I am not the biggest fan. I didn't even start sweating until 10 minutes in with incline of 10 and resistance of 10.  I guess I just don't feel the burn. The stairstepper is a whole other bag of worms. I was dripping sweat within 5 minutes and my heart rate was around 135-145 for the entire 45 minutes. I didn't do any strength training at the gym but plan on doing 3 reps of each of the following: sit ups (15), leg raises (15), heel taps (20) and side crunches (10).
This weeks lunches and mid-day snacks are Swai with brown rice and Chicken with sweet potatoes and broccoli. If I eat the same thing everyday it just makes it easier. It is a little repetitive but sometimes simple is better. Plus, when I am getting everything ready on Sunday and Wednesday it makes my life a LOT easier! Tomorrow is Devanne's last game so I bet I will need to prep the rest of the weeks food tonight. We will see if I get around to it tonight.
Dinner was soooo good tonight- stuffed chicken breast with cheese and jalapenos. About 350 calories for 2 pieces plus a large salad. I wanted to eat my two and then more. But I didn't. The kids did not like them so Jessica made them eggs because they didn't really have a lot of protein today. 
On a different note: I applied for a job at the aquatic center- to be a fitness instructor. They have 3 levels. The basic level is just about giving facility tours, orientation to equipment and general ideas on how to structure a workout. I don't have to have a personal training certificate, but I did put down that I was studying and will be taking the exam by 8/2012. So I gave myself a deadline. It shall be done by then. Fingers crossed I get a call. I applied for evening and weekend shifts since I love my job and this is just something to do on the side. Wish me luck!
