Abs of fire (next stop....steel!!) :)

Well today was a blast! I can not believe that we have been doing this for two weeks already! Between Ben and the other girls, who knew working out could be so much fun? Thank you so much ladies for all the support, motivation and competition!
So this morning started with the dead lift. Missy and I were partners on this one and by that last rep we were lifting 95 pounds. Yeah us! From there we went on to Tabata. Oh how I have missed thee...it was as challenging as I remember it to be. Again Missy and I were partners and we went through four different stations comprised of:
rows and squat presses
landmines and hill climbers
burpees and these amazingly hard single leg lifts
push ups and kettle bell swings.
We did each exercise as hard as we could for 20 seconds and had 10 seconds to transition to the next set in the station. We repeated this for 4 rounds, had a one minute rest and went right into the next station. Holy hell!! You know I played sports all my life, and I know for certain I did not work up as much of sweat in an entire basketball game as I do in one morning with Ben. It is awesome!
You would think that the Tabata was enough right? Oh no, there were still 10 minutes of class left...time for plank and Supermans!!! Before I even talk about these I have to tell you that as I sit here and type my abs feel like they are on fire!! I fought of a sneeze because I was afraid of how it was going to make my abs feel. Okay so planks and Supermans....for planks, get in the first position of a push up and hold it for 60 seconds. Um, yeah it feels great....all you can do it watch the sweat beads drop onto the floor and beg for someone to tell a story, sing a song, anything to make the time go by!! After a few seconds of rest it was on to Supermans, (but I think since it is a class of females, we will call them superwomans). Ready for this one? Lay on your stomach and lift your chest and quads off the floor. Keep your arms outstretched like you are flying. Now hold that one for one minute. Let me tell you my butt felt like it was going to fall off after that one!! But like I said in the first line of this post, I had a blast and I am so lucky to have this opportunity.
That being said here is a look at what my day looked like food wise:
Pre Workout: Toast with Almond Butter. I had two pieces but Tanner ate the crust (and last bite) as always.
Post Workout: Protein Shake
Breakfast: Egg white omelet with broccoli, spinach, cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes
Lunch: 4oz grilled and seasoned chicken breast with spinach and mustard in a whole wheat wrap
Snack: Greek Yogurt - if you have not tried this...you should. It is so yummy!!
Dinner: Huge Salad made with one medium head of romaine lettuce, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, the other 4oz of my chicken breast and slivered almonds, walnuts and pecans. I used the juice of a lemon and some balsamic vinegar. It hit the spot.
Snack: still up in the air on this one. I am lite on my calories today so I need to come up with something good to have tonight...I'll let you know tomorrow what I decided.
Have a great night everyone!! Oh and if you did not see the video from yesterday's firehose slam....you have got to check it out!!!
