Dripping in Sweat

I consider myself to be a fairly un-sweaty person. I can usually do a whole workout, pushing myself pretty hard, and barely break a sweat. Today I did level 2 of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and I am SWEATING. Workouts didn't exactly happen over the weekend for me, so it's not a surprise that it was a fairly hard workout for me, but man, I'm really sweaty, and I feel GREAT.

April 15

I was feeling really ambitious this morning, and slightly upset that I'd only lost 1 pound in the last week or so. I've been working out consistently, but I think that the feasting over the weekend probably put me back a step or so. This morning I did the 20 min Flat Abs Zumba workout in addition to my normal 30 day shred workout. Wow did it make a huge difference! I usually sweat when I do 30DS, but starting it out already sweaty and slightly fatigued made it a lot more challenging of a workout. The great thing was for the final cardio set I still felt really good and was able to push myself through the whole thing with high energy

Breakfast: 2 fried eggs in Pam, a piece of whole wheat toast lightly buttered

Snack: Dymatize protein shake made with milk

Lunch: ham, turkey and beef tortilla with lettuce and tomato. A small apple with a serving of cottage cheese, sprinkled with cinnamon.

Dinner: Home-made chicken enchilladas. They had half the cheese that I normally put in them.

I've discovered as far as calories go, I need to keep each meal around 300. If I do that I should be able to easily stay in my 1200-1500 per day limit.
