It is Day 12 and I am in a boatload of pain. Andrew and I did a great workout last night at the gym and my whole body is screaming at me today. My triceps from the ball throw, my butt from the kettlebell swings and squat jumps, my back hurts from... something! But it is that good pain - the one where you know that you had a good workout. The kind that keep me motivated. That is the name of the game right!? :)

For breakfast today, I had:

• 3/4 cup of my pumpkin and flax seed cereal with 1/4 cup of skim milk: 6 WW points
• 1 cup of black coffee with splenda: 0 WW points
• Total for breakfast: 6 WW points / 19 WW points left for the day!

I brought all of my workout clothes to work today, so I can grab a quick workout at lunch. I have to work both jobs today, but I don't want to miss out on an opportunity to workout. Since my new gym is right around the corner from my office, I can put in a quick arm workout and 30 minutes of cardio. No problem! I am actually going to look up a quick arm routine now and bring to the gym so I can GET.IT.DONE!

I found a great routine, specifically made for women. The workout consists of:

Biceps

• barbell curls
• dumbbell curls
• preacher curls

Triceps

• close grip bench press
• dumbell kickbacks
• tricep extension
• pressdown

I am going to 3 sets of each, with 12 reps each time. Then I will follow it up with a 30 minute routine of intervals on the elliptical. That will probably give me just enough time to change, workout, rinse off, change and get back to the office without someone getting suspicious of where I am! ;) I am going to have some almonds for 2 WW points before heading out to give me some energy. (17 WW points left for the day!)

I had a great lunchtime workout. The gym wasn't too packed and I was able to do my arm workout and do the elliptical for 35 minutes. On my cardio alone I burned more than 320 calories, and I'm sure the arm workout resulted in about 150 calories burned, so all in all, great workout! If fitness is an important part of your routine, no matter how busy you are, you can squeeze in time.

I got back from the gym and made myself some lunch. I had:

• 9 slices of turkey breast: 2 WW points
• 1/2 cup of cottage cheese: 2 WW points
• cucumber slices: 0 WW points
• 1 jello mousse cup: 1 WW point
• Total for lunch: 5 WW points / 12 WW points left for the day!

Pretty sure that I will need a 3 p.m. snack today, so I am going to plan it out that I will have a simple spinach salad.

• spinach: 0 WW points
• 1 tsp of fat-free ranch: 1 WW point
• Total for my snack: 1 WW points / 11 WW points left for dinner! :)

I ended up having a snack at work:

• Hummus:  3 WW points
• Crackers: 3 WW points
• Total for snack: 6 WW points / 5 WW points left for dinner

For dinner, I just had a slice of pizza with Andrew's mom,  it was 10 points! So I used 5 of my bonus points..
