Hey Everybody!
It's 6pm and I've cooked 3 meals to have throughout the week. As I sit here and read my energy is leaving. I made turkey meatloaf muffins-got that idea off of
bodybuilding.com on youtube . I also made
brown stew chicken with trader joe's brown rice medley. I've made the brown stew chicken before, but this time I didn't marinate the meat and it still turned out good. Trader Joe's brown rice medley is like the best rice on the planet...lol. I'm not a brown rice lover, but this version is super good. I also made stewed plain chicken with onions n red potato cooked in chicken broth. That was super good. I had it for lunch. So all that needs to be added are veggies, but my meals are mostly done for the week...yay!
I officially start Les Mills Body Pump tomorrow. There's a new group that started so I feel like we will all be on the same page and can better share our experiences. The beginning schedule is 3 body pump days, 2 cardio days and two rest days. During my pre-view week I know better of what weight to use and get a better workout.
ak812-I experiment all the time. Some turn out good, some don't. The protein bars were a colossal failure. I made them at like 1am so that they could have a chance to get firm in the fridge. I adjusted a recipe I found because it was too high calorie and too much fat. That attempt wasn't successful, but you know I'll try again soon.
exhale, I'm glad you like the biggest loser walk and LOL at Bob. Good going on the yoga classes. Umm, I still haven't started doing it yet. I will though because its part of the body pump program.
sacha, glad to see your post! How'd you get food poisoning? How do you like the couch25k program?
angelsmom, I have knee issues too. I started taking triple flex and its been helping. But yeah sometimes you just gotta give them a break.
novangel, you are in that range where Jillian says its the hardest I think. Like the last 10-15 lbs its much harder to lose.
I'm off to relax a bit before returning to cleaning the kitchen. LOL...with that much cooking the cleaning had to be done in stages.
I have definitely not gotten in as much exercise as I wanted to this week, in part due to crazy schedule changes at work and these past few days because of feeling sick. Ugh! It's so hard for me to get back into it after even a couple of days off plan. Got in a short walk at a nearby park with the boyfriend but nothing more than that really. Today I plan on taking a LONG walk with him & then doing a 60 min cardio workout On Demand. Gotta start kicking back into gear again - the Biggest Loser challenge on this site has begun and the first weigh in is 1 week from today.
