Day 2

Alright so I might have failed at multiple things yesterday including: doing my workout, sticking to the meal plan, and making a post, just to name a few. But all is not lost. I finally got my ass grocery shopping and I got myself a new toy.
It's a smoothie kit attachment for my blender! I've been putting it off for over a month because last time I went shopping I had to pick up a $50 prescription which = not being able to afford this. What's so great about it is that it's super easy to clean so now I'm about 10xs more likely to have my blender available on a regular basis because I won't be to lazy to take the 20 seconds it takes to clean the attachment + the 40 seconds it takes to clean the cup. No more jabbing myself right under the nail with the stupid blender blades as I try and stick my sponge wielding hand into the narrow depths of my regular blender. WOOT! And of course I had to test it out last night so I could experience all its amazingness. If you have an Oyster brand blender [I think any of the newish models work] it costs about $14 at Walmart. There aren't enough words to describe how excited I am about this. Now for the not so fun stuff, and I say not so fun because I did such a bad job.

Food:
CPK bread with butter* and garlic powder
tortilla crusted tilapia [2]
orange juice [2]
Starbucks peppermint white chocolate mocha [medium serving**]
Trader Joe's popcorn [handful]
Pirate's Booty
Annie Chun's Udon***
banana, mixed berry, almond milk, spinach smoothie [2]
specialty chocolate [2]
CLIF bar
Denny's Fit Slam
*I rarely use real butter so when I say butter I mean something along the lines of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter or one of those other butter substitutes.
**My dad is addicted to Starbucks so weekend mornings he gets up a little early to run down to Starbucks and bring my mom and myself stuff back. I asked for the peppermint white chocolate mocha once because it was the holiday season and that's the only reason I need, but he bought it for me two other times so I put them all in a big container and I'm rationing it out so I don't drink 500 calories at once so my portion sizes aren't based on their drink sizes but how much I put in my mug.
***I absolutely LOVE Annie Chun's. It's $2 at Trader Joe's and a little more expensive at other grocery stores. I can eat just the little bowl but if I have some extra veggies or tofu laying around I'll add it to make it a little more filling. You can also add other things like chicken or shrimp to spruce it up even more. Trader Joe's also has their own version with rice noodles that only cost 99 cents.

Exercise:
"Morning Routine" = 50 jumping jacks, 5 pushups, 20 situps, 20 mountain climbers, 30 second plank, 7 burpees - do cycle twice - I call it the morning routine because it's recommended you do it right when you wake up in the morning before your body has a chance to fully realize what you're doing, which apparently makes it easier to do.
2 hours walking around/waiting in lines at Disneyland

And of course as promised here are the daily workout pictures I said I would post.
I've recently found some other weekday-specific routines that I'll post later once I've taken a better look at them.
