Saturday & Sunday:
I reserve these two days to eat anything I want and it varies each week, sometimes it's sea food, Chinese or Italian restaurants.
I also exercise Monday-Friday for 1 hour an aerobic mix which consists of portion of regular aerobics (no weights) and weight aerobics (use weights that range from 3-15 pounds depending on the speed of the workout), 20 minutes of stationary cycling with moving handles which work not only my legs but my arms as well and 5 minutes of stretching (in total it's 85 minutes). I also drink about 8-10 cups of water a day.
So, would my diet be considered healthy if not what would you suggest as an improvement?
