Saturday, June 22nd, Cardio & Cafe

Good evening, BOTT friends,

 

No posts for today so far, so here's mine.  Not much to say.  Got in 2 recumbent bike workouts today, the second while chatting with visitors.  My family room was full so I sat on my bike, and since I was sitting there...  Did a total of 88 minutes covering 10.3 miles.  Made homemade baked crab cakes in muffin tins for dinner.  I used 1/2 of a whole wheat sandwich thin for the 1/4 c breadcrumbs, and eggbeaters and egg whites instead of whole eggs.  The recipe actually called for eggbeaters, but after spending almost 50.00 on 2 dozen steamed blue crabs and picking the meat myself, I want all the flavor I can get from a low fat, low carb recipe.  Today I ate:

 

B:  4 strips turkey bacon, 1 egg and 1/3 c eggbeaters, 3/4 c fresh blueberries

S:  1 c cantaloupe

L:  1c Brussels sprouts mixed with 3/4 c ground turkey spaghetti sauce (sounds weird but I like it)

S:  3 strips leftover turkey bacon, 2 c SF French vanilla International coffee

D:  Two 3 oz crab cakes (yummy!!!!!), 1 tbsp ****tail sauce

 

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Thanks for starting the post, Sheila! Your crab cakes sound yummy . Great day today. Most importantly, my four-year-old was finally out of bed, eating a little throughout the day, drinking lots, and in very little pain. Mostly a stiff neck. Such a relief! My hubby and I did races this morning, he ran a 10k and I briskly walked a 5k. I bested my time by 4 minutes and walked it averaging 4.5 mph. Very motivating watching people of all ages (youngest was 6 oldest was in his 80s) and shapes and sizes walk and run. Plus there was also a qualifying half marathon and marathon...those runners were awesome!

B 1/2 protein smoothie, coffee with LF 1/2 & 1/2
S 1/2 protein smoothie, coffee with LF 1/2 & 1/2
L romaine & celery with buffalo chicken & blue cheese dressing
S 1/8 SF candy bar
D sirloin steak, sautéed mushroom & steak, cucumbers with sour cream
S quest bar

Sleep well and enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Huh, I just realized my tickers are still there from 2010 when I was pregnant with my daughter. Can anyone remind me how to delete those and add a new one tracking pounds lost?

Totally AWESOME, your doing the 5K and besting your time!  And it must be even nicer to have a spouse that participates in healthy living.  Having that support can make a big difference.  My husband passed away 9 yrs ago, but even if he was still here, he was not the exercise type.  He was a hard worker, and preferred to lounge around on his weekends off.  He was 5'11" and weighed around 150 lbs soaking wet!  I do get a lot of support from my bench pressing boyfriend though.

Glad to hear your son is doing better, and hope everything continues to improve.  Have a great Sunday!

BTW, the crab cakes were delish!
