Happy Hump Day!! *Workout with videos*

It's Wednesday, it's gorgeous outside, I feel amazing, and my tax return is on it's way!  What more could a girl ask for?

Last night I was on my own for working out, but Kathy had given me a couple different workouts to try the days we didn't have TEAM training, so I gave this one a shot and enjoyed most of it.  It definitely gave me a workout, but I'm not as sore as I expected to be this morning, which is a little disappointing.  Anyway, here it is.  I sweat like a pig (yes I know pig's don't sweat) through the whole thing and my heart rate I'm pretty sure stayed up and I moved quickly from one exercise to the next and my muscles were literally trembling when I was done, so I'm going to call it a good workout...pain or not.

I did 3 sets of this workout, but you could do more or less depending what time allows

5 minute warmup - level 6 of the Elliptical at about 5.0 speed
Prone Plank on Knees/Elbows on Stability ball - 12-15 reps (video here)
Bicep Curl with Squat (instructions said 10 lbs, I did 20) - 12-15 reps (video)
Push Ups (I did them on my knees) 12-15 reps
Bicycle Crunch - 12-15 reps (video)
Single Leg Balance Reach  - 12-15 reps each leg (video)
Bent Over Dumbbell Row (I did 17.5 lbs) - 12-15 reps (video)
Squats on a Bosu Ball - (I put the bosu upside down - ball side down) - 12-15 reps - (video)

So there it is....my Tuesday night workout.  I did great with eating too!  I was very proud of myself when I went to bed last.  Dinner ended up being a combination of Couscous and Ham and not much of it.

Today's Menu:
Breakfast - Better Oats Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Oatmeal (review to follow)
Snack - Almonds (snack is late today and lunch is early, so very little snack)
Lunch - Repeat from yesterday - Steak medallions and Quinoa, possibly adding some carrots/sugar snap peas with ranch
Snack - Apple w/ Natural PB
Dinner - Ham/Couscous Salad - LOTS of veggies!
