Phewph. I’ve been busy, or lazy. Mostly lazy.
I had a very bad weekend for over eating/over drinking/having things fall on my head. A night of heavy drinking turned into a chin up bar falling on me. Nothing serious, just a bump/bruise. Ouch. lol.
I don’t get embarrassed very easily, so it’s really more funny than anything. But I still have a lump and miscellaneous bruises.
Anyway, I started this week off well, since my weekend was terrible.
Yesterday was great. I ate well, and walked 2 miles, along with 8 hours of work.
Yesterday:
Breakfast – a chocolate protein shake with 1 tbsp light peanut butter and 1 cup of almond milk.
Leurnch:
Schalade, with prawns, tomato, carrot, zucchini, quinoa and romaine lettuce.
After work snackems. 1 whole wheat english muffin, thai spiced tuna (clover brand), cucumber and green onion.
Dinner! 2 egg omelet, 1/2 avocado, sauteed mushrooms, cheddar, salsa, plain yogurt, hot sauce, green onion, happiness.
Dinner was pretty awesome last night. I will mexi-omelet it up again.
TODAY!
A particularly unphotogenic bow of plain oats topped with 1 tbsp light peanut butter.
Lunch!! Black bean/corn salad (less than 1/2 cup), chicken breast, carrot, apple on a bed of romaine.
After work/workout snack. Chocolate protein made with 1 tbsp light peanut butter, 1/4 cup greek yogurt and water.
I didn’t have any almond milk to make my shake with, so I threw in the yogurt for the viscosity. Not sure if I liked it. Make it this weird kinda sour. Oh well! More protein though, thanks greek yogurt!
Dinner!?! NO IDEA! Well I do have an idea, tomato soup. But Ehh. Eeegghh.
So after work, my girlfriend and I went for a 2 mile walk. (My total walking today, not including work was 3.15 miles.)
This one, remember, she used to be fat too. The headband was a joke, some ribbon she found on the desk, but she’s actually pulling it off.
We walked a bit of the sea wall.
It was icky and cold and pissy rain.
the route! I accidentally tracked it as snowshoeing, since that was my last big activity I tracked with runtastic. Oops. had to do some math to figure out my actual calorie burn.
Then when I got home I kicked my ass a bit more!
I did 3 sets of each:
- wussy lady pushups (I’m still working on real pushups, but I have PUNY WEAK ARMS!)
- dips
- bicycles
- crunches
- squats
- lunges
- tricep dumbell kickbacks
- leg raises
and 2 sets of planks Held the first for 51 seconds, the second for 54. I REALLY need to do this more often.
I’m going to write myself down a full body-bodyweight exercise routine and start doing it often. I always forget how GOOD bodyweight exercise is, and how sore I am afterwards! It really works and it freeee!
Tonight after dinner and before bed I’m going to do a few sun salutations (yoga), just to get relaxed a bit/stretch. I used to stretch and do yoga often, so I want to get it going again.
I need to work on my arms also! Sounds like you’re back on track!
Yep! I just gotta stop falling off this damn horse. Lol.
that omelate looks really good!! I never thought of putting avacado in it! Also, I def want to try mixing in peanut butter with some oatmeal for extra protein. Good for you for walking 2 miles in rainy weather ! That must have took some motivation ,expecially after work! You continue to be motivational girl keep it up! <3
Thank you soo much!!
We all fall off the wagon at times, tis life! A delicious and healthy start to the week though.
