How is day 2 going for you? I tell you it's tough. Tip #2: Do not keep junk food on the house, not even for the children. If you shop healthy and have healthy foods in your home you will have no excuse but to eat right. Temptations is our downfall. So keep it out!
Workout for Tuesdays is the lower body and abs. This is what it looks like:
Barbell squat
Stiff leg deadlift
Leg extensions
Lying leg curls
Calf raises
Scissors
Crunches with weighted ball
Did you get your 30 mins of cardio in, whether it's the walk/run challenge or whatever you choose to do? Make sure you aim for least 5 days a week of cardio to burn that fat layer off.
Recipe of the day:
Snack: Cheese Puffs
1 cup water
2 tbs butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper 1 cup all purpose flour
