I watched a friend having a rough day today, so I suggested a "General Hospital Workout." That means cardio on the commercials, weight training while the show is on. We worked up quite a sweat and got a fantastic hour long circuit training work out in! At the end...his mood had completely turned around....nothin like releasing a few endorphins to help us drop a few pounds and bring a smile to our faces. Alot of times its very hard to get our sneakers and work out gear on, but once we are finished...we always feel great!! So, next time you don't want to work out....remember how you'll feel (AND look) when you are finished!
Breakfast: Cup of Coffee, water, Egg White Omelet with tomato, broccoli, avacado and mushrooms. I ate 2/3 of it and brought the homefries with onions home to add to a different meal.
Water...I've been trying to get my 8 glasses in. That's been my biggest challange, but everything that I read tells me that getting 8 glasses a day will help maintain your metabolism, flush toxins and maintain energy. So...I'm gonna keep working on it.
Lunch...I forgot again...this is my other biggest challange. And, this amazes me, because before I got back on track, I was thinking about food, if not eating it 24 hours a day. I did drink a V8 at my meeting, just to make sure there were some calories in my body.
Early Dinner: After working out, I cut up some chicken from a roast chicken I had in the frige and threw it in a pan with the seafood pasta from earlier in the week. There was about 1/3 serving of whole wheat pasta, the rest was shrimp, scallops and chicken.
And now...I'm starving so I think I'll have a 2nd dinner :) I definately haven't had enough calories today! And, if we don't eat enough...we condition our bodies to need less food and slow our metabolism. That is NOT an option for me.
Today's Challenge: What's a good, guilt free dessert? I would really love a BIG bowl of ice cream with tons of toppings right now!!! I know I can have some. But, I need some ideas for daily desserts!!
