1 cup of mixed veggies (the same from lunch --- made a huge bowl)

Exercise (started at 8 p.m.)

5 minutes of warm up on elliptical machine
2 minutes of high intensity and 3 minutes of low intensity
repeated 2x

Circuit Training

10 reps of Prisoner Squat
10 reps each leg of Bench Step-Ups
10 reps of Pushups (countertop)
10 reps of Burpees (with jump) --- took a couple of short breathers a couple of times
10 reps of Bench dips (bent knee)
10 reps of Get-Ups
Rested 2 minutes by accident the first time through (not paying attention)
Did this circuit 3 times through

The first time I did the circuit I forgot to include the Bench dips so I actually did a fourth circuit at the end of bench dips only.

It felt really good to get this workout done although I found it hard since I am so deconditioned right now. I know I will only get stronger as the weeks progress and hopefully will not have to take as many short breathers between reps like the burpee. God, I hate burpees! LOl

Originally, I was not going to eat the evening snack but I was so famished after working out that I thought that I should have something.
