Exercise: CARDIO KICKBOXING WITH JUAN! The free classes at the Y are amazing! Juan is amazing! I took this hour-long class and worked up a sweat and kept my heart rate up. It was a full body workout. When I got home I did my "homework," which is a quick full body workout my trainer assigned to me on our last visit. My aim is to do it every other day; it goes as follows:

15 push ups
25 squats
25 dips
30-60 second plank
30 'punching abs' (with weights, get in a sit-up crunch position and punch out from side to side)
REPEAT ONCE MORE!

Notes: It's amazing how when you're on a roll, you're on a roll. I notice that the more I work out, the more I want to continue working out. I've been trying to stay conscious about things like bread this week. Today at lunch I had a piece of bread with my salad, so at dinner I opted to go tortilla-less which made my meal extremely low calorie.
