15 or 30 Minute Incline Walking Workout

2012 Halloween candy trends according to the informal Fagan family candy poll:

• Most popular candy: KitKats, Peanut M&Ms, Twix
• Least popular candy: Baby Ruth, 3 Musketeers

We had a lot of trick-or-treaters last night and I was quite thankful that Ryan bought another two bags of candy on his way home from work yesterday or we would’ve run out. We have some leftover candy, but our leftovers are limited to 3 Musketeers, Baby Ruth, Milk Duds and the occasional mini Snickers. All my favorites are gone!

Workout

Today’s workout was a 50 minute cardio hodgepodge, followed by some planks that made my abs burn!

My 50 minutes of cardio was split between three different cardio machines:

• 10 minutes stair master
• 15 minutes treadmill incline walking 
• 10 minutes stair master
• 15 minutes elliptical

Hopping on and off various machines really helps me fight cardio boredom!

My time on the treadmill was spent completing a 15 minute incline walking workout that could easily be repeated for a 30-minute walking workout on days when a longer workout is more appealing.

I covered one mile during my 15-minute workout and the fast pace coupled with the inclines really had me haulin’ hiney.

Breakfast

Breakfast this morning started with a banana…

And ended with scrambled eggs that I made with a splash of milk, shredded cheese, onion and yellow bell pepper.

The yellow pepper in my eggs kind of looks like pineapple to me. You know I love the whole sweet and salty combination thing, but I’m not so sure about pineapple scrambled eggs. Ick.

Time to work! I’m heading out to deliver Meals on Wheels lunches at 10:30 a.m. and am hoping to wrap a freelance article before then. Catch you after lunch!

P.S. We reached more than 1,000 giveaway entries on yesterday’s New Balance giveaway post, so New Balance will be donating $1,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. THANK YOU so much for your help!!! The giveaway winner will be randomly selected and announced tomorrow morning.
