Saturday, June 9th, Cardio & Cafe

Good morning Botts! 

Shout out to Tess, glad to hear you're up and around!  Well it's already 70 degrees here in NYC.  got a lot done this morning, cleaned the apartment, did 3 loads of laundry, did my 30 minute workout with the Jillian Michael Body Revolution (complete my fist full week), and I am doing 5 pounds since 05/30/2011...happy dance!. I also hit the gym as well this morning did only 30 minutes on the treadmill and just came in from doing my food shopping!! 

Got a lot done, been up since 7am this morning.

To days eats:

Prebreakfast:  Coffee with meds
Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs
Snack: Special K - Pastry Crisp
Lunch:  Morning Star Lasagna with a small green salad
Snack:  Protein Fruit Smoothie
Dinner:  Veggies with a piece of Fish/Grilled
Snack:  Maybe a piece of fruit or a 90 cal Fiber One Brownie

So, have a wonderful day and I'll see you tomorrow!

Wow do you love the body revolution? Is that the one advertised on tv that is a longer system kind of like P90x? 30 Minute shred used to kick my butt!

Just trying to organize my closets and clothing and house today so I can have a clear mind to study for the bar exam in 6 weeks. I cannot do it when my house is unorganized as crazy as it sounds. Tonight is the fancy dinner, we didn't go last night but we did go for Thai and I did pretty well, had sauteed calamari with vegetables, sauce seemed broth-y. Maybe 2 bites of rice, if that.

But still had a small bag of snack sized chips and a few cookies that my DARN husband brought home. I am about to talk to him about TRULY hiding them from me. Last night at dinner, I explained to him, that since he is in AA, I do not drink in his presence or have a drop of alcohol in the house. I do that to support him. I told him that is what junk food is to me, I am not like him in that it can sit there for weeks untouched. He gives me the "I have to eat to live" line. We need to repeat this talk again. I just need him to hide the darn food!

Here are my eats for today:
coffee with half and half and splenda
protein shake
2 eggs with cheese and 1/4 avocado
grilled chicken salad with beans and avocado, ranch dressing
cottage cheese
dinner - fancy rest. called fish out of water, hope to get some fish!

Jillian Michael Body Revolution is a 12 week workout 30 minutes a day for 6 days.  I do the Cardio DVD every evening as well it's only 26 minutes.  So, I do get in a 56 minute workout/day!  And it goes by really quick....

Hi ya Botts:

I never thought that I would say this but I really miss my daily walks on the treadmill.  I miss structured workouts.  I am walking slowly for about 1/2 mile a day but I really want to up my game.  I am tired of being secondary.  Three more weeks and I hope to be back on track with exercise and regular eating.  I am getting tired of all the extra protein.  I like it better under 100 grams.  Enough of my complaints.  It is Saturday folks, have a wonderful day!

Tess,

I remember recovering and getting bored. I watched DVD's or netflix of entire tv series. If you didn'****ch Lost, it is a great cliffhanger show. Feel better soon!

Seems like eveyone is enjoying their Saturday.  I am happy for us all.  Here's what I did today
