Hello everyone! Just checking in. Did well today again with tracking! Ate a meatless Tuesday up until Dinner. Tuesday nights is our Chick FilA night so dinner was chicken strips (9) and small fries (7)....Breakfast was garden veggie omelet (3) and a banana (0), Lunch was leftover veggies from yesterday (7) and I had for snacks....Pear, banana, pomegranate seeds (Yay! glad it's time for them again)...and smarties sweet tart rolls (did you know that two rolls is only 1 point???)
Didn't work out today. Had lots to do tonight...Between preparing meals for tomorrow (I actually cooked ahead) and making Halloween Treats for work tomorrow, didn't make time to get my 20 minute cardio in....Boo! But I DID stick to my tracking so I am happy.
Oh yeah, can't wait to work it out tomorrow! Got a new song!!!
Got back on track today....It's been a while since I worked out. Had that nasty respiratory bug...and every time I moved I felt like I was coughing up my lungs....but no more of that now! Thank heavens....
Food wise, I decided to make this Meatless Monday. Started the day off with a garden veggie omelet (3) and a banana (0). For lunch I had 4 trader joes Bird's nests (8) and 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes (3). And for dinner, I had 1/2 cup of corn (2), 1 cup of Long Grain and wild Rice a Roni (5) and green beans with onions (0). For dessert tonight I had 10 funnel cake fries (5)....So overall in the nutrition department, I did well. Didn't even miss the meat! Enjoyed it so much I am going to do Meatless breakfast and Lunch tomorrow and reserve my meat meal for dinner.
Got my workout on too! Did 20 minute elliptical workout while I watched the final two parts of the Young and the Restless on my ipad....(didn't realize that my ipad sits perfectly on my elliptical display....Ahhhhh) and followed that with upper body weight lifting (my favorite).....Nothing like Trick Daddy (Let's Go) to get you hyped to lift! Yes!

Ended my day with a hot shower.....Man I feel good! Glad to be back....Feels great to be back!
Gonna change my weigh in day to Friday this week and see how that goes!
Until tomorrow....I'll leave you with Trick...
I was first introduced to this song when we had season UNC FB tickets. The team used to warm up to this and they'd get so hyped! I'm sorry...but you can't say that this song doesn't get you in the mood to pump iron!
Hi everyone....just writing to let you know that it has been a long 3 weeks....Don't know what it was but that cough that I had was horrible. Just the slightest bit of exertion caused a coughing spell. So no exercise was done.
Plan is to get back on track tomorrow. Gonna start slow. Armed with everything I need. Hopefully I can get through it without coughing myself to death but I pretty much think that its over.
Well today was a dreaded weigh in. Why? Because I haven't worked out this week like I should have. I have had this persistent cough for the last week that gets worse when I walk briskly, try my elliptical, etc. So no working out.
Instead, I made sure to track EVERYTHING that went into my mouth. Including the numerous cough drops that I had to suck on to keep from coughing my head off.
Well I stepped on my scale this morning and I am down....3 POUNDS!!!! WAHOO!!!!!
I am still having this issue with my respiratory system so I am not sure how much activity I will get in this week. Hopefully I am at the tail end of this. My daughter's lasted 2 weeks....Wednesday will be one week for me but I am hoping mine doesn't last as long as hers did.
Oh and about that project I was working on???? The Lion King Cake??? I completed it and it was awesome, if I should say so myself. See.......................
