101 sexiest bodies

So Whitney and I did good today. We didn't over eat at any point and we worked out pretty hard at the gym. Whitney was a machine today. I did the really tough machine Whitney calls the 'walking in sand' machine for 30 min. straight. It was easy not to quit as the TV showed me all of hollywoods 101 most sexy bodies. It was rough to watch, but also motivational cause the whole time I was thinking these people prolly work out alot harder than I do. Which brought me back to what Jillian said about pushing yourself past the bare minimum. If it feels like you just can't go any more push yourself that extra mile....you know all that motivational stuff. It worked though because I finished the whole thirty minutes without stopping and then did even more time on a variety of other machines. We went to Pluckers tonight. WHAT A HORRIBLE INFLUENCE!! (but i'm proud to say that I didn't over eat) Whitney and I each ordered a chicken sandwich and a salad instead of fries. Luckily our server sucked and forgot to bring us the salad so all we had was a chicken sandwich.(and it was more than enough) Whitney did better than me because I had about 4 chips with queso that she didn't even touch. I don't feel guilty though and that's all that counts. We are going to the Rec again tomorrow and we've even discussed possibly jogging to the Rec from Whitney's house which is quite the jog, but I'd say we are more than capable and it's better for us. I'm going to focuss on my arms and abs tomorrow. Spring break swim suit, spring break swim suit...just gotta keep reminding myself of how good it's going to feel when I don't feel like the 'big one' of the group. Mom the portion plate sounds awesome to all of us it seems- tell us more about that and where to get one! Keep up the good work everyone :-)
Here is Jillians tip of the day:
Nice Form?
Performing the lunge can be tricky. It requires more coordination, balance, and strength than many other resistance exercises. Here is a common error I see: People take a step forward and end up with both feet in an imaginary line, almost as if they were walking along a tightrope. This can make it tougher to balance. Quick fix? Think to yourself: "Start with feet hip-distance apart, end with feet hip-distance apart." It may feel awkward to step this wide at first, but hang in there. It will become second nature.
