That was my cat Lily's paw poking me in the eye to wake up this morning. The trick is to not move or change your breathing or she will start mewing for breakfast.
*shift*
*MEOW*
This was the start to my morning :-) So the cats got their breakfast, and I started with mine. But first to Weigh In. I was not looking forward to this. The boy and I had eaten at three buffets this week. ANNNND.... I gained 2.2lbs so I am back up to 182.4.... NOT GOOD. But at least I get all my weekly points back!
Breakfast:
Coffee
Smoothie made of 1 Cup Skim Milk, 1/2 cup of frozen mixed berries, 1 frozen banana.
Old Fashioned Quaker Oats made with 3/4 cup Skim Milk with cinnamin and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Went for a run outside. It was still cold about 45 degrees but at least it wasn't raining anymore. My current favorite song on my running playlist is "Naturally" by Selena Gomez. I know the boy would hate that song (b/c he hates pretty much any music after 1988) but it just gets me moving! Only ran about 2.5-3 miles today for 418 calories or 4APs. Had a serious TMI moment (you runners get the picture). This was very frustrating to me because I felt like I could do more.
Went to the Chiropractor today and the back is holding up pretty well even with the outdoor runs so I was very glad to hear that! I have bone spurs and arthritis in my spine so I often have back pain and swollen joints.
Lunch:
Thomas 100 calorie Bagel
1 thin slice deli ham
1 Egg
1 Slice RF Colby Cheese
1 Cup Strawberries
1 Cup Pineapple
Extra tip: I love Greek Yogurt but hate the price of almost $7.00 for a container. I buy Dannon All Natural Plain Nonfat Yogurt which I bought for $2.00 and strain it so that the texture and flavor matches that of Greek Yogurt. It is thick and tangy. I'll show you how I use it later in the week.
Put paper towel in mesh strainer over bowl to catch excess whey and let sit in fridge to drain for about 3 hours. Viola! Cheap tasty yogurt!
I made pasta salad to take over to a friend's house tonight.
3 cups cooked whole wheat pasta
1 can black beans (rinsed)
1 can low sodium sweet corn (rinsed)
3 mini red and yellow peppers
1 cucumber with the seeds removed and cubed.
1 cup FF Italian salad dressing
Combine and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. It made 7 heaping 1 cup portions.
Had an awesome time with my friend. Had a turkey burger on a wheat thin with my pasta salad. Then we played some Mario Kart and Guitar Hero on the Wii. Excellent time. Her dog the Ry pooch (who is friends with my Bogart) kept wanting to sit on our lap while we were playing.
Came home and had a bit of a problem of munching while watching Top Chef Masters. Ate about 2 points worth of chocolate chips and made a micro cupcake with strawberries.... Already 8 of my WP are gone..... WAH!
I am going to be more consciene of getting in all my GHG this week. As you will notice, I did not get in my oils today or enough veggies in my mind!! I struggle the most with getting in my oils everyday. I am considering starting to do the shot glass techicque which some of the girls on the 20 something boards do to get in oils.... hmmmm.
Goal for tomorrow:
DO NOT GO OVER DP!!!
The boy has been at work for the last couple of days, and Bogart the cat is already asleep in bed... See!
I think I will stretch for a few mintutes since my joints are very sore with all the moisture in the air.
