Positive change for positive results

I'm forgetting yesterday and moving on with today.  That's the positive side of health and fitness goals, it is an ongoing process.  You can always lose the weight.  You can also always gain it.  You can build muscle and endurance or you can lose it.  The choice is yours to make. 
After a far too easy workout on Tuesday, I decided it was time to take my cardio up a notch.  I had three options: 1) increase my resistance, 2) do longer speed intervals, or 3) do more frequent intervals.  I decided on a mix between 1 and 3.  For my elliptical workout, I doubled up on my intervals.  Instead of a one minute sprint every 5 min, I did two one minute sprints every five min.  1st min-backwards, 2nd min-forwards moderate intensity, 3rd min-forwards high intensity, 4th min-forwards moderate intensity, and 5th min-forwards high intensity.  I did this 7 times for a total of 45min.  My heart rate was soaring, I was sweating like a beast and I had a great workout.  For my crossramp workout, I increased my resistance from 12 to 13 and did my usual.  Ouch.  Needless to say my legs were done.  This was long over due and I made it through.  I struggled and fought, but I did it.

I have also changed up my eating schedule a little.  After my carb overload yesterday, I decided I needed to tweak things.  I wasn't getting to eat my oatmeal until 5 some days because I'm subject to the baby's schedule.  I was going straight from a big bowl of oatmeal to dinner.  Here's the new plan:
