Monday's Cardio and Cafe

Hey Hey Hey,

It's day one of our Challenge. For those of you that are new, we post our food and exercise here to be accountable and share with others. I am also going to start a daily post so we can have a forum to "just" talk.

Food for me today:

Breakfast
Protein drink before my Boot Camp
Snack
Apple with Almond Butter
Lunch
Grilled shrimp and veggies
Snack
String cheese
Dinner
Baked fish, 1/2 sweet potato and grilled mixed veggies
Snack (if needed)
NF Greek yogurt with strawberries and SF strawberry syrup

I am going to try and get more and often this round as I fell into that trap of eating less and less and didn't feel well and my weight loss stopped. After this week I will see how I am doing and adjust accordingly. As we all know, plan your food and then adjust as you go. Nothing is in black and white

Cardio
I went to Boot Camp this AM. It's a class of running/walking/weights and obstacle courses. I waited 2 months after working out before I got the guts to go to this class. It's great and I just adjust to where my limits. I have bad knees and don't do that jump high to the sky stuff LOL

So my friends, come on in and let's get this party started!!!!!

Take care,
Kathy

PS.... hope to get to Zumba class tonight. If you have not done Zumba try it, it's really fun and you don't feel like you are exercising!

Good Morning All:
Started my morning with Body Electric but was a little late so only 20 minutes.  After posting I'm headed for the treadmill.
Today's menu is was a little carb high but I lowered it and ate only a fourth of my clam chowder which will keep carbs under 100.  I left room for more protein and ate more meat.  Dr wants my calorie count a little higher and no doubt it will get there.  Here's my plan for the day.

Plan  your food for the week during the weekend. Get those cheap plastic containers and plan out your meals.  Freeze them on the weekend and then pull them out the day before. You will have your meals ready to heat and eat!
