Happy Tuesday-Election-Day Morning to you, ladies!

What are you eating today? What are you working out to today? And are you voting today??:)
 
It is 4:50 am and I couldn't be happier to be awake! I slept great, and now I am up for an extra-long workout! Since I work for the court system, and courts are closed today, so it my office, so NO WORK FOR ME TODAY!! I have some errands to run, a dentist appointment, some cleaning to do, and OF COURSE a nap -- my FAVORITE hobby!

Workout this morning will be Kick Max warm up and combos 1, 2, and 3, then 4DS Kickbox (cardio & weights). I'm so excited!!

Food will be good today, I SWEAR. I am participating in the fruits and veggies challenge in OD.

B smoothie w/strawberries and protein powder
S apple slices, string cheese
L tuna, crackers, baby carrots
S banana
D cilantro-lime roasted chicken, chipotle-lime corn
 
Good morning, Katie, you ambitious little beaver! Hope you have a great day today! What is a day off???? Even on the weekends we can't seem to turn work "off"?

I'm goin' for a great day too:
b - cheerios, apple
s - I'll be teaching at preschool - we'll see
l - salad w/ grilled chicken, salsa
s - ??
d - mexican something or other

Workout, per the Nov. rotation, is rest or cardio of choice. I'll do cardio of choice - just not sure which. Maybe Katie's kickboxing will inspire me!

Have a wonderful day!
 
G'Morning ladies.

Great plans for kickboxing Katie, it looks like fun.
Which cardio are you going to do today Kate.

Rest day for me.
b-egg whites and fruit
s-mixed nuts
l-lean cuisine panini (not really clean but tidy with 320 cal)
d- shrimp with pasta and veggies
s-not sure but nothing after 7

I did good with my snack last night. I ate 100cal popcorn before 7:00pm and nothing after that.

chat later:)
 
Robin, Good for you w/ your snack last night. Do you add any seasonings to your egg whites or just eat them plain? I always add in 1 egg yolk. I know there's the fat but there is also good nutrition in it too. I'm envious of your rest day! Looking forward to mine tomorrow. Whatever my cardio is today I think I'll keep it low impact - maybe LIC.

See you later!
 
Great workout and menu plans, ladies!

All the kickboxing was super fun this morning -- my workout was about 1.5 hours, good thing I get a nap this afternoon! Collin is laying on the couch right now watching Sponge Bob, then he is going to get dressed and go to preschool for a little but while mommy has some down time!

I am starting to really like my protein shake in the morning -- it's about 1.5 cups of partially thawed strawberries and 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (24 grams). I get protein and fruit in in one yummy, easy drink!
 
Good Morning Kate, Katie, Robin and everyone to follow!

Katie - I am so jealous you have a day off. I would love just to work 40 hours in a week. No voting for me because no one is up for re-election.
Kate - good luck at preschool today. Hopefully they will have a healthy snack you can eat.
Robin - I love Lean Cuisine Panini's even if they are clean they are a nice tidy treat.

w/o was Slo-Mo legs - I used lighter weights so hopefully I won't have DOMS (I have DOMS from shoulder and back yesterday - I dropped my laptop bag because it was too heavy for my shoulder.)
b: kashi flakes w/ almonds
l: tbd (either grilled chicken & veggies or a grilled chicken salad)
s: cheese stick, fruit
d: arroz con pollo (will be clean if I make my husband use lowfat cheese)

Have a great day everyone!

Colleen
 
Hey Colleen I also make arroz con pollo. What ingredients do you use?

Kate I add onions and green peppers to my egg whites. I cook them with a little olive oil, because I'm a olive-loving-nut. Most people cook eggs with butter.
 
Katie - Glad you had a good workout - enjoy some alone time while C is at preschool - how long does his go? Ours is 2 hours - not much time to get anything done.

Colleen - Good day for you! The snack at preschool was def. unclean - It was a birthday so they brought brownies w/ pb cups & FROSTED! I DIDN'T HAVE ONE!!!!even tho the other moms did. V.proud of myself.

Robin - Your eggs sound yummy. I make mine w/ no butter or oil. I use either a nonstick skillet or a cast-iron skillet. I love to add red peppers into them.

My lunch ended up being a whole container of this yummy chock-full-of-veggies salsa (and a few tidy tortilla chips) & grapes. I am so full - it was so good & good for me! Will def. need some protein later though.
 
Hello clean and tidy ladies!

Everyone is off to an awesome start!
Katie, Days off are the best! Enjoy yourself.

Kate, What workout did you choose? Good veggies!

Colleen: I'm itching for the Slo-mo series, but my back wont handle it.

Robin, enjoy your rest day girl!

I ran to the market and bought purple cauliflower, its going to be yummy!
Im going to attempt MIS and Barr tonight! My back is holding up.
I will post menu's later.
All the best,
Steph
 
Steph - How do you prepare your cauli? I don't like it, but I suspect it's because I've never had it prepared well. Any tips?
 
Kate- you know what, i steam it in the mircrowave for 9 minutes, and dip them in tomato puree!
My DH likes it steamed, then sauteed in garlic, dill and olive oil in the pan...even better, cheese sauce :)
Steph
 
Kate, the place that Collin goes is actually daycare/preschool, so it is all day. My work day is 8 am to 430 pm, so he is usually there from about 7:50 to 4:40, haha (it is half a mile from my house to his school, then another two miles to work, I love it!)
 
Why am I sabatoging myself? It's like as soon as I see success, and the scale starts to go down, I start eating crap again!

Lunch today was NOT as planned, ate burger and fries at Wendy's instead...x(
 
I do the same thing Katie, when I drop some weight something in my brain says "eat fried foods now". It's like I am rewarding myself with fatty foods.
 
Katie & Robin I know just what you mean about unclean foods - I seem to do the same thing too. Stinks, huh? I ate pretty well today excpet for the tortilla chips. I know I didn't have too many, but a carb is a carb is a carb and my bod puts 'em smack on my belly! I just finished LowMax, so hopefully the damage won't be too bad!

Have a good night!
