12 Week Challenge II, Day 1

Here we are again, only this time I plan on hitting this Challenge harder than the last time. What does that mean?? Clean eating, eating every 3 hours, and gym time 6 days a week. Today was day 1, and here's what my day went like:

Plain Oatmeal for breakfast, (bleh, but I haven't made a trip to the store this week yet)
Lots of water
Cajun chicken breast, lettuce and tomato
Lots of water
Protein bar
More water
Protein shake

OK, so I didn't get 6 meals in, but I am satisfied with WHAT I ate....which is a step forward!

I missed my alarm this morning, so instead I did my gym time tonight. I did legs, trying to keep my heart rate up between sets with jumps, squats, lunges, and step ups. Then 25 minutes of interval sprints on the treadmill, 2 minutes at 4.0 and 1 minute at 8.0, repeat.

Overall, I am happy with my Day 1!

Here's some inspiration of what can happen in just 12 weeks:
