Day 2 was incredibly easier than Day 1, but only because I spent most of the day with my mother, the health coach.

It's only Day 2, and I already have so many things to share. First off, Day 2 was incredibly easier than Day 1, but only because I spent most of the day with my mother, Sue Grafton, who is the health coach I am working with for the next 60 days. We talked a bit about my diet and I even incorporated some of her diet plans for her clients into my daily routine.

Then we hit the road for my first Bar Method class. If you haven't been — you have to try it! I've never been huge on group classes, but I have to tell you this was a killer class. It wasn't like any other class I have taken. The class really focused on strength training, core muscles, and stretching out the body. There is no doubt in my mind about how ballerinas are in such good shape. I know I will be sore tomorrow morning! The class left me determined to go back and show improvement from this first class.

The teachers, Kendra and Sarah, were incredible and gave each of us individual attention, and trust me I needed the attention. I would definitely recommend you try this class. It not only shook up my routine a bit, but it worked muscles I didn't know I had. The Bar Method is located right in the Winter Park Village, and as a small business supporter, it was awesome that the owner Karen greeted everyone to the class by name! What an awesome facility too.

Here is my diet break down for the day. All Sue Grafton approved. The idea is to eat every two to three hours to keep your metabolism at work. You could barely eat all day and not lose any weight, because all you are doing is starving your body and slowing your metabolism. You need to have 5-6 small healthy meals.

Meal 1: Whole Grain Toast with Peanut Butter and Water

Meal 2: Metafast Caramel Bar (From Sue Grafton's kitchen, not my favorite meal of the day but filling)

Meal 3: Half of a tuna sandwich on whole grain bread and a side salad with vinaigrette dressing

Meal 4: Blueberry Greek yogurt and 2 slices of american cheese

Meal 5: Egg Whites and 1 slice of wheat toast

Meal 6: I'M SO READY FOR SOME CHOCOLATE MILK! Im determined to still allow myself chocolate milk every day. For those of you who know me, you know I love my milk!!

We took measurements today! Here they are :

Height: 5'7

Body Fat Percentage: 27.4

Chest: 34 7/8

Waist: 37

Hip: 39

Bicep: 10 1/4

Thigh: 18 3/4

Hopefully over the next few weeks we will see improvement. Ill take measurements every Tuesday.

Looking forward to Day 3!! And that tall glass of chocolate milk!
