Lots of abs

I tried a bunch of new ab moves tonight! I picked up SELF Magazine's "Flat Abs Made Easy" and was excited to try some of the moves from it! There are a few different moves that can be mixed and matched for a great core workout. I did like 30 minutes worth of them- it felt great (in a sore, make my abs hate me kind of way, of course). It wasn't anything spectacular, but I definitely felt them working! And I was happy to get some strengthening time in. I needed it. I wanted to do some legs and arms work but I was crunched for time and my legs are sore from all the jumping yesterday. I figured just targeting my abs for awhile was better than nothing! I hope I'm sore tomorrow, haha.

Now for the food part of my day. I felt pretty hungry all day long... I managed to stay on track with small healthy (well, mostly) snacks in-between meals. Here it is:

Breakfast
PB and banana sandwich- two pieces of multigrain bread, 2 Tbsp Better 'N Peanut Butter, 1 small banana and a dash of cinnamon.
Coconut coffee with 1 tsp sugar and coconut almond milk

Snack
1 light string cheese stick
7 strawberries

Lunch
Salad- field greens, baby spinach, beets, grape tomatoes, cucumber, fat free feta cheese, sunflower seeds and low-fat raspberry walnut dressing

Snack
Handful of dark chocolate covered coffee beans (I can't resist them!)
1 medium apple

Dinner
Italian seasoned chicken breast
Pasta salad- multigrain spaghetti with cherry tomatoes, fat free ranch dressing and a sprinkle of feta cheese

Snack
6 rosemary Triscuit crackers
6 pieces of 75% fat free cheddar cheese slices
Small handful of blueberries

That's it! I just can't stop eating those coffee beans, haha. They're so good!! I think I ate a bit too much sodium yesterday and maybe a little too much dairy today... but I did get all my diary from low-fat or fat free sources. I also feel like I ate a lot of fruit and veggies today, which is good! I realized that I didn't log my water consumption for yesterday because I didn't even think of recording it. I drink a lot of water! I don't usually keep close track of it because I know I get enough or more than enough everyday. Today, I think I drank about 72oz.

I won't be working out tomorrow due to traveling... but hopefully I can try a new workout with my brothers this weekend! We'll see :]
