Stuff

Its been awhile I know. First and foremost I am PreMSing this week so I have like a 2 pound gain. Yuck!!

Last night I binged on peanut butter kandykakes (4) and Sun Chips and a real coke, which I never drink ever!!! So why because I thought I needed it. Like somehow it would solve my problems. Listen to me food being ingested into your body never solves any problems. I don't have any major problems right now. Just that I thought my body was telling me it wanted junk. So I ate it just because. Rant over.

My workouts have been excellent. Evidence seen here in photos A and B.




Wow that gray looks terrible!!
iPhone says walk but it was my run/walk combo intervals of 2:1

Today I did my intervals on the treadmill and watched Full House while doing so. Hey I grew up with that show, what do you want from me. The only aspect of it I despise is that its on TeenNick. Too much teenage hoopla on that channel.

Tomorrow I am doing my Yoga video and walking a couple miles. Will let you know what I think of Jillian and Yoga. It kind of seems like an oxymoron to me the words "Jillian" and "yoga".

Food today
B-one egg, one white, slice of lite whole wheat w/ tbsp PB, coffee
L-McDonalds grilled ceasar salad, apples no caramel and iced coffee w/ equal (keepin it real with MickeyD's - I have kids)
S-yoplait apple turnover yogurt
D-leftover sauteed zukes, peppers, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms along with one serving Meatza Pizza
S-weight watchers fudge bar
96 oz of water

Meatza Pizza you ask? here you go...

1-2 lbs extra lean ground beef or turkey (depends on the size pan you are using)
2 eggs
Tomato Paste/Tomoto Sauce(watch the grams of sugar - keep it low, less than 3 g)---> I use regular spaghetti sauce 4g carb
No-fat cheese - chedder & mozerella (or low-fat)
Veggie/Canadian bacon toppings

Brown the meat in a skillet. Don't overcook it. Take it just past the pink stage.
Drain the grease off. Put in casserole dish and let cool.
Add two eggs, some cheese and mash it all around and then pack it down tight.
Mix up a sauce to the consistancy of your liking. Use a small can of tomato paste (6 oz?) and add tomato sauce. Sprinkle in some oregano. Spread it over the meat "crust."
Sprinkle some cheese over the meat and then add your favorite toppings such as:
canadian bacon
onions
green (bell) peppers
zuchinni
"green" tomatoes (they stay firm and taste great!)
mushrooms
olives
Add some more cheese
Cook at 350 until cheese melts - about 40-45 minutes.

Yoga Pose-edly

Tonight I ended up at Target looking for something which they didn't have nor does any other store for that matter. So as I was aimlessly walking around I stumbled upon the fitness department. Browsed over all the expensive equipment and didn't feel like spending a ton but knew I wanted to add a different element to my workout regimen. Then I saw the DVD's they were calling to me..."New, different, cheap, right here just waiting to come home with you." Skimming through I immediately knew I wanted Yoga. Without much hesitation, I grabbed Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown and knew I wouldn't be cheated from sweating my brains out, even with yoga. There are 2 levels of intensity with a inference of losing up to 5 pounds a week. Yeah right, only in my dreams. Regardless, I will be incorporating yoga into my plan starting once a week and go from there. I may not be flexible or graceful but if it relaxes me, its worth a shot. Anything you do to shake up your routine?
