Water Pouring into BottleEat clean. OK, today I felt very good about the content of my calories. Shakeology, homemade trail mix (almonds, walnuts, dried cherries, dried cranberries), burritos made from leftovers (ground turkey, wild rice/quinoa, sauteed asparagus = really good burritos), and crunchy sandwiches for dinner. “Crunchy sandwiches?” you say. The kids made up that name – it’s just sandwich fixings (lunch meat, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, whatever else you like) atop Wasa light rye crispbread. Outrageously healthy and very delicious.

Drink water. I’ve stopped keeping track of exact ounces, but I consciously reach for my 16-oz. cup all the time and find myself refilling it several times a day. I could probably do better still.

Burn calories. I had to wait until 7 p.m. to do it, but I got my Fire 45 workout in. Is it silly to pretend that Chalene is grading me on my moves, like I’m auditioning for her next video? Maybe so, but it makes me push harder and focus better. My eyes were stinging by the end from so much sweat running into them. And I can’t wait to do it AGAIN.
