Health Kwest Day 22

I am so happy that I don't have any more trips planned so I can get back into a workout and eating routine at home.  Being out of town is always a challenge for me in both of these areas.
Today I did an upper body weight workout and then a little cardio on the spin bike.  Then this evening I did a TKD class.  I am so excited I get to test for my red belt next week!  I am going to take video of me breaking a board and will post it and pictures for ya'll to check out!!
I had my Genghis bowl for lunch today.  It had pork, shrimp, squash, zucchini, onions, 1 egg, garlic water and Island Teriyaki.  It was so delicious and only 335 calories!!
I just love my McKinney Genghis Grill location!!  They are so supportive and willing to help!!

Health Kwest Day 20 and 21

I can't believe that it has already been three weeks, my how time passes by!!  This was such a great weekend!!  I did a spin workout early Saturday morning.  Then I went to my McKinney Genghis and had lunch.  It amazes me that I have eaten at Genghis 21 days in a row now and I am not even close to getting sick of it.  The food is so delicious and there are so many options to make it different every day!
After lunch, I headed to Great Wolf Lodge for some water sliding fun!!  It was a great time of fun with great friends!! 
Sunday night I had Genghis for dinner.  I had turkey, a little ham, 1 egg, onions, squash, zucchini, garlic water and island teriyaki sauce.  It was so yummy and under 350 calories.
No official workout today but I figure I climbed over 50 flights of stairs the last couple days so taht is a pretty good workout!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! 

Health Kwest Day 19

I am so happy to be home with no trips planned in the future.  This was really a great week!  Today I got in a stationary bike workout then ate my bowl as an early lunch before heading out for the day.  It was so great to have a meal that I new was healthy each day so I didn't have to worry about what to eat.  This Health Kwest really takes some of the stress out of travelling.  I am so happy to be home so I can get back into my workout and eating routine.
Looking forward to this weekend.  Going to Great Wolf Lodge this weekend with some really good friends.  Should be a great time!!
Hope everyone has a great night!

Health Kwest Day 18

I can't believe we are almost at 3 weeks, this has been such a great time!  Updating in the morning for Thursday.  Yesterday was a really good day.  I was in meeting all day but I made it up to my hotel room to eat my Genghis bowl for lunch.  It was so yummy!!  It has been great to have one meal I don't have to worry about how to try and eat good when I am out of town!!  I got in a workout at the hotel gym last night I did cardio on the bike and upper body weights.
I am looking forward to coming home this evening!  Exciting weekend ahead!

Health Kwest Day 17

Today was a really good day.  I am in Seattle for meetings again this week.  My meeting today started at 11:30 with lunch, I am lucky because I had my Genghis Grill Bowl for lunch, it was SO yummy, and way better and healthier than the chips and sandwiches they were serving at the meeting!
We had a great guest speaker at the meeting, Greg Bell, who wrote the book Water the Bamboo, http://waterthebamboo.com/.  He was such a great speaker and really gave me alot of things to think about and incorporate to make me a better person professionally and personally.  I am so excited to read the book and learn more!
The hotel gym was closed by the time the meeting ended so I had to do a pushup/ab workout in my room.  I am going to have to get up early in the morning to ensure I get a good workout in before the meetings tomorrow.
Good night all!

Health Kwest Day 16

Good Morning!  Sorry my udpdate for Tuesday is late, it was a very long day!
I started the day with a spin type workout at the gym at 6.  I also got in a lower body weight workout!  I went to my Genghis at lunch at got my bowl to go, I had to get ready to leave town for Seattle again.
I got all packed up, including my bowls for the next 3 day!
My plane landed in Seattle last night around 9:30 but my luggage decided it would like to take a later flight.  Since I had meetings early this morning and they could not guarantee they could get me my luggage prior to the meeting I had to pick my luggage up at 12:30 when it made it in.  Good news is I have my luggage and I am ready for the meeting, just a VERY long day.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Health Kwest Day 15

Good Evening All!  Today was a crazy busy day.  I managed to get in a TKD class this evening and then headed to GG for dinner.  It was so yummy, I had turkey, sliced beef, 1 egg, snap peas, zucchini, squash, onions, garlic water, and island teriyaki sauce.  DELICIOUS and only 330 calories.  It amazes me all the delicious combinations I can make with so few calories!!  I am leaving town tomorrow for Seattle again so I got my to go bowls to take with me this evening.  I just LOVE my McKinney Genghis location, they are so awesome and supportive.  I really am lucky that I got picked to represent the best location :-)

Hope everyone had a great day!!

Health Kwest Day 14

Good Evening All!  Today has been such a long day and I am EXHAUSTED!!!  Got up this morning at 5:30 to go for an early morning walk with a little jog thrown in.  I worked all day and just got home from picking up my to go bowl from Genghis!  It was so yummy!  I am off to sleep now because I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.
Hope everyone had a great day!

Health Kwest Day 13

Today was such a beautiful day!  I planned on doing a long bike ride but got a flat tire 5 miles in, I am so happy I wasn't 5 miles from home.  Walked bike home 1 mile, which could have been way worse :-).  Then I did a great upper body workout at the gym with about 10 minutes of bike and 10 min of basketball to get some additional calorie burn in!!
After the gym headed to Genghis for dinner.  It was so delicious!  I just love the staff at my Genghis Grill, they are awesome and always so supportive!  I am so lucky that I was chosen first of all for this contest but chosen to represent the McKinney location!!!
I hope everyone had a great Saturday!!

Health Kwest Day 12

I am loving this weather!!  I had a great trip to Seattle this week but I am so glad to be home!!  Today was a really good day.  I went to GG for lunch and it was SO delicious.  I went with my favorite bowl, turkey, shrimp, ham, onions, squash, zucchini, 1 egg, garlic water, island teriyaki.  It was so delicious and only 330 calories.  Tonight I kicked up the workouts since I wasn't able to workout as much as I wanted to when I was out of town.  I did a lower body weight workout and 35 minutes on the stationary bike.  Then I went and did a TKD class.  Although I am tired, the workouts felt really good.
Looking forward to tomorrow, outdoor bike ride and an upper body arm workout.

Health Kwest Day 10

Another long but great day in meetings here in Seattle.  Went to a cool event tonight at a really neat venue in Seattle.  I was planning on working out when I got back to the hotel but just got to the room and I am feeling sick to my stomach.  Looks like I am going to be working out ALOT this weekend to make up for this week, good thing the weather is supposed to be nice at home this weekend.  I am so looking forward to coming home tomorrow!!
Hope everyone has a great night!

Health Kwest Day 9

Another rainy day in Seattle, but I guess that is to be expected.  Busy day today but I managed to get in 2 workouts so that makes me happy.  I had my bowl for dinner tonight and it was so delicions!!  I just love having a healthy meal that I don't have to worry about, it is always great but so much better when I am out of town!!
I am off to sleep now, hope everyone has a great night!!

Health Kwest Day 8

What an amazing week this has been.  I am so thankful to Genghis for this life changing opportunity and I am taking full advantage of this time.
Today was a good day.  I am in Seattle for work so I had to bring my daily Genghis with me from McKinney.  Since I am out of town I made some changes to the bowls I have been making to make them more travel friendly, mainly I decided to not add the egg because I wasn't sure how it would be.  My bowl was so good, even left over.  It is awesome to know that I have one of my daily meals taken care of so I don't have to worry as much about what I will eat.  I went to the grocery store to pick up some other healthy food to have in my room.  My whole team is in town so we went out to dinner, which was great!!
I came back to the hotel and did a workout before heading to bed.  I did a little time on the eliptical, I am not a big fan, so I moved to the treadmill, then did an upper body workout.
I am off to sleep now.

Health Kwest Day 7

Hey it's Kim, I apologize this is late.  I didn't get to my hotel in Seattle till 12:30 last night and I was exhausted so I went straight to bed!
Yesterday was a good day.  I started the day at church, great sermon from Pastor Steve.  I am so blessed to have such a great church family!!
I then went to Genghis and got my bowl to go.  I had to finish laundry and get packed so this saved me some time!  I tried to pork for the first tme and it was so yummy!  My bowl had pork, shrimp, squash, zucchini, onions, snap peas, mushrooms, 1 egg, garlic water, steakhouse blend seasoning, garlic, dragon salt and island teriyaki sauce.  It was so good and only 360 calories.
I didn't work out yesterday because I was having pain in my side and didn't want to push myself since I was heading out of town.
I plan to make out with my workout tonight at the hotel!
I am so excited I get to have yummy healthy food even when I am out of town.  Looking forward to my to go bowl for lunch today!!
Hope everyone has a great Monday!!

Health Kwest Day 6

It was such a beautiful day today!!  I took full advantage and spent some quality time outside!!  I did an upper body arm workout this morning then went to the lake and rode my bike 18 miles.  I am looking forward to upping my mileage but didn't want to push it today since I have to walk/jog 8 miles tomorrow!
After the lake I was starving and so excited for my yummy Genghis bowl!!!  I decided to try some new options this evening along with some staples :-).  I had Turkey, sliced beef, squash, zucchini, onions, baby corn, garlic water, and mongo BBQ sauce.  It was SO yummy.  The sliced beef was so awesome and only 81 calories and less than 3 grams of fat for 2 ounces.  The entire bowl was 345 calories!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and got to enjoy this beautiful weather!!

I forgot to turn the volume up on my phone last night so I didn't get in my early workout today.  After work I did 2 miles on the treadmill then went to TKD class.  After class I headed to my Genghis in McKinney!  Everyone there is so awesome and supportive, they are great cheerleaders!!!  I decided to switch things up today and add some ingredients I have never tried.  Today my bowl has chicken, scallops, squash, zucchini, onions, baby corn and Mongo BBQ sauce. It was really good and a nice change and right under 326 calories!! It amazes me all the delicious combinations I can come up with all under 350... calories!!! I just love GG!

Wow, today was a really good day!  I am glad that the snow and ice on the roads mostly melted and I was able to get out of the house and make it to the gym and Genghis!!
I did an upper body workout then went to my favorite Genghis in McKinney for lunch!!  I had my favorite bowl which has turkey, shrimp, squash, zucchini, onions, an egg and island teriyaki sauce.  It was so yummy at right at 350 calories!!
I did what we will call a cario mix workout, some plyometrics, bike and basketball.  I just got home from swimming 900 yards.  I don't know why but after swimming I am exhausted and starving!!

Health Kwest Day 1

Today I started a 90 day journey of the Genghis Grill Health Kwest.  During the next 90 days I will eat a Genghis Grill once a day.  In addition to that meal I am planning to follow the Body for Life eating plan.  I also have some very excting and challenging exercise plans for the next 90 days, my muscles are already sore so this should be fun!
Today I started to day with a Chiropractic adjustment at Eldorado Chiropractic, I have found this is a great way for all kinds of pain to go away!!  I did a upper body workout and 30 minutes on the stationary bike at the gym then headed to Impact Martial Arts for Tae Kwan Do class.  Everyone there is so awesome and supportive.  After my workouts I headed to Genghis Grill in McKinney for my first bowl.  I had Turkey, Shrimp, onions, zucchini, squash, 1 egg and honey soy sauce, no starch.  The bowl was so yummy and only had 355 calories!!  I am so happy to be supporting the McKinney location, Ben Woodring the manager and all of his staff are so awesome.  They are so friendly and super supportive.  The next 90 days are going to be great!!
I am off to bed now so I can wake up for some early cardio :-)
I will be updating here daily to keep everyone informed about my journey!
