whoa. seems like a lot of food today...but a LOT of exercise too. there are 3 of my favorite classes today and with friends, i'm doing them all. thankfully, one is in the morning and two are in the evening. i would have doubled up on the evening ones anyway, so i just need to make sure that i'm properly fueled.
exercise: 60 min. cardiopump class, 45 min. fat burner class, 45 min. cardiocircuit class
tallandthin - 19 lbs! you are ROCKING this! for the avocado, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate, eat within 2-3 days. if the flesh turns brown, it's ok, it is just a bit of oxidation (kind of like when an apple turns brown from the air), to prevent it, brush the exposed flesh with a bit of lemon juice.
First class down, it felt so great. I felt like a lump not doing any exercise this weekend, but i know that i needed to take it easy or risk getting a whole lot sicker than I was.
I am participating in a challenge at my gym - from Nov. 22- Jan. 3, whoever participates and loses the most weight wins either 6 mos. free membership or 12 free personal training sessions. I'm super competitive so I'm really going to try hard to win, if anything, it will be motivation to NOT gain any weight when we're visiting my family for 3 weeks over the holidays....that is a challenge in itself.
TNT- zeff's ideas are great, I usually take the whole thing cut it in half, then cut the side without the pit again, that way you can wrap it up still in the skin and less air can get at it... I just put in a baggie and when I am ready to eat slice a thin slice off where its brown and voila- fresh avocado!(I have a hard time just eating a quarter though! it usually ends up being a half so I only buy them occasionally anymore!
I didn't plan and didn't do too well today... back on track tomorrow and for dinner tonight as well...
tonight- taco salad no shells
Tomorrow:
B: chia smoothie
S: hummus and carrots
L: crack slaw with tofu and sriracha
S: apple
D:brown rice and veggies
Zeff- you go girl! I know you will win that challenge!
B: oatmeal with chia seeds and homemade applesauce, 1 veggie sausage patty
L: red lentil vegetable stew
S: a piece of fruit, 100 cal nuts if I need them
D: broccoli cheddar soup with white beans, roasted squash
Okie, I hope this is only PART of what you ate yesterday! Make sure you are getting in some dairy, and where are your vegetables?
Phase II for me today -
B. oatmeal soaked in unsweetened vanilla almond milk w/blueberries
L. leftover crack slaw
S. Honey Crisp apple
D. a big kitchen sink vegetable salad sprinkled with feta, and a Morningstar grillers patty
S. SBD peanut butter cup dessert
Probably the personal training. I love the trainers there and would love to work one on one with them. There is one in particular that is an absolute beast - she is so small and petite and doesn't look like she would be hard at all...and then she works you until you can't work anymore.
