Fit Is The New Black

I think I’m fighting off a cold. I’ve been feeling tired lately and generally worn out. I had my fair share of sugar earlier this month. Lots of chocolate passed my lips, and with Valentines Day? Forget about it.

Sugar kills the immune system, hence why I feel really run down.

I stayed home all day yesterday with my boyfriend and wrote. Today I hit the gym and grocery store.

3 miles of running (kept it at 5.5mph, but shot up to 6.2mph towards the last stretch).

35 minutes on elliptical

Hanging knee raises

Crunches

Arm raises

Lunges

Rotary Twist with 35 pounds

1 mile walk

* I decided to do minimal ab work today, due to the fact my stomach has been seriously bloated, which I think has to do with my over exercising the muscles.

Small blueberry and pineapple protein smoothie

Lunch
