Well-done on the to-do list

I have been quite productive tonight.  Work was just as hectic as it has been all week.  Which is actually a good thing because it makes the day fly by.  I have to FORCE myself to take a lunch.

Workout #1
Over lunch I did head to the gym and lifted.

Exercise	Weight	Reps/Interval
Pec Flies	2 17.5 lb d.bs	6/6

Front Raises	2 10lb d.bs	6/6
Side Lat Raises	2 10lb d.bs	6/6

This took a little over 40 minutes.

I went back to the gym after work and went swimming.

On the way home from the gym I stopped at CVS to pick up an rx and a few other things. I was starving at this point (forgot to pack a post-workout snack.), so I grabbed a Soyjoy.  It was pretty good.  I got the strawberry flavor and it tasted like strawberry and not overbearing.  The texture was the only thing that threw me off a bit.

I wanted a quick dinner (especially because I was only cooking for one.) and I was hungry.

Dinner
I cooked a Morning Star Chik’n patty and put it on a sandwich thin with some mayo, lettuce and tomato.

On the side I had half a sweet potato that I microwaved.  I put some honey and hot sauce on top.

 

It was good and hit the spot.  After I ate dinner I started packing.  I got a lot of our china and crystal packed up.  After all the packing, I needed a dessert.  Half a cup of Cheesecake Diva with fiber one and whipped cream on top.

Yes, there is ice cream hiding under there.  It was perfect.  Cold, sweet, crunchy, smooth….A very nice end to the day.

I completed my entire to-do list!!

Lift & Swim

Packed

And on that note, time for me to go to bed.  It is LATE for me!

Typical Tuesday

Nothing too exciting, except that today is actually my hump day…sort of, because I am taking Friday off.  Also, I am not nearly as sore as I expected to be.  I took some advil before bed and slept with ice on my knee, and I woke up feeling okay.  I probably won’t take any extra sets of stairs today and I will probably avoid lifting for my lower body at the gym today, but otherwise, the knee is doing much better than I expected!

I have so much to do this week before heading to Charlotte for the weekend.  Hope you guys don’t mind that I put my to-do list up here.  It does keep me accountable!

Tuesday
-Lifting over lunch, swimming after work
-Go by CVS (BCP, hair dye, and two other things that I now cannot remember)
-Dye hair
-Pack as many boxes as possible

Wednesday
-Cardio over lunch
-PT after work (hopefully)
-Hair cut after work (hopefully)
-Pack as many boxes as possible
-Go grocery shopping for things for the weekend (trifle dish & breakfast casserole)
-Be there when owners are showing house

Thursday

I hope and pray that is all of it…I still feel like I am forgetting something.  Okay, now on to the important things–FOOD!

Breakfast
Cinnamon Raisin Brany Oats

I tried to improve upon yesterday’s breakfast.  1/4 cup of oats with 1/2 cup of water, 2T of raisins and 1/2T of cinnamon.  Microwaved for 1 minute.  Then I added 1/2 cup of all bran, 1T of flax seed, 1/4 cup of natural plain yogurt and 1tsp of honey.  I definitely thought this was an improvement on yesterday’s.  I think I liked the raisins better than the banana.  Added a different sweetness and a different texture.

(Sorry about the bad picture, I had a much better one but the camera liked it so much, it decided to eat it.)

Look at all that yummy gooeyness!

AM Snack
Trying out that peach today–hopefully it has ripened.

With a piece of wasa

Lunch
I did something very unlike me….I brought deli meat!  I used to eat deli meat a lot more often, but the sodium aspect just really grosses me out.  But these only had 350mg per slice, which I think is semi-acceptable.

I had a sandwich thin, 1 piece of white turkey breast, tomato, lettuce and some mustard.

The close up

Then I chopped up some carrots and broccoli and brought them.  I also brought about 1T of hummus to dip them in.

On the side, I am having my jell-o fruit thing.  It was REALLY good frozen yesterday.  I took it out early enough that it defrosted enough that the outsides had the texture of jell-o again.  I really like the flavor, texture and the fact it was frozen really slowed down my eating.  I like to try and take as long as possible to eat, so this helped!

(I also had a picture of the jell-o, but the camera ate that also.  Note to self–start researching new cameras!!)

PM Snack
The frozen yogurt was so good yesterday.  I loved the real cocoa that I found at the bottom.  It was so good–almost bitter.  yum!  So I figured why mess with perfection, so I brought another one to freeze and enjoy this afternoon.  This time I went for plain chocolate instead of mocha.

Okay, another busy day ahead of me.  The workout plan today is to go to the gym over lunch and lift and then head back after work and get in a swimming workout.  

I found this picture yesterday while looking for pictures of the fitter and other PT equipment (not sure why this came through on my google search) but it made me laugh out-loud, so I figured I had to share.
