hi everyone - late checkin for me but i am finally sitting, foot up. just ate some popcorn -mmmm.

katie, how long were you non weight bearing after fracturing your foot?

kate, yeah for not leaving the house and working out!! your cardio capacity will be back so fast, and it does feel so good to sweat. i have not sweated in 10 days now. it is crazy (swimming does not make me sweaty). hope your insides feel better soon.

angie, how long are you with your parents? i hate having good snack food around

robin, how long have you done kettlebells? i am interested in trying them but saving for an elliptical for now.

klaudia, have you cooked anything special today? i always need new recipes.

today i did squeeze lower body parts and abs, and i swam for an hour. i hate the smell and feel of chlorine, but i am glad i went. i am counting down until my recheck on the 20th, just hoping i get cleared for walking or elliptical.... crutches are a drag with my little ones (28monthe old and 5 month old), but thankfully i have help for the next 2 weeks. eats are clean so far:
b - egg white and salsa
s - fiber one and frit and string cheese
l - cottage cheese, brocolli, yougart, bananna
s - popcorn 94%ff

dinner will be with friends, but i will keep it clean. now if this choclate craving would go away before i reach for the dove minis....

Morris, I love egg whites and salsa. Tho I usually end up with more salsa than egg! I love salsa! Esp. good homemade kind. Store-bought is too high in sodium to have too much of it. Good fo ryou for getting WO's in despite being laid up! You're an inspiration! How are the kiddos today? Glad you have some help!

I caved and had a small brownie! It was in the freezer and I ate it frozen. Tasted like rich chocolate ice cream! It was super good, but definetly not what I need right now!

hope everyone is doing well....

So far, so good today. I got my workout done and have eaten pretty good-except for a handful of m&m's I had while reading a post about clean eating and muscle growth:0 I promptly put the rest of them away. Had cottage cheese and pineapple for my midmorning snack and Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of all bran and honey. I LOVE Greek yogurt It's easy to eat clean when there's food in the house. Now for dinner I'm at a loss. I'm thinking a veggie frittata for us. The kids might be getting grilled cheese. I can't wait til they eat more like us.

Kate, I hope you're feeling a bit better Have you tried vita tops? Chocolate muffin tops with fiber & protein. Add a dollop of whipped cream=delish and better for you. Or the No Pudge brownies you make with yogurt-yum.

Anne, we were posting at the same time this morning. Thanks for the well wishes.

Colleen, our anniversary is the 15th-the first day of deer hunting season here! Fortunately DH isn't a hunter. Hopefully we'll go out to dinner at least

Morris, I'm always at a loss for recipes. I wish I were a better planner. I procratinate too much! Have you tried the Fiber One granola bars? They're awesome. Even my girls like them.

Angie, I gave up on P90X. It just gets so monotonous. I am still incorporating the pull ups/chin ups. I've been doing 1 day of upper body, 1 day of lower body, and 1 total body day combined with 3 days of cardio-the couch25k training plan. I put the pulls/chins with my leg workout. I love them! They have totally made my back my favorite body part. Now if only my abs would cooperate! Sigh.

Wow, could I be more long winded? Geesh!
