Spending time with family and friends, slows me down and reminds me why I want to live a long and healthy life.
Today's Workout: Workout 6
Happy Easter Sunday to all! I am a day late in writing this post, and missed Saturday. That's the drawback of special occasions! While my eating was for the most part, off of the plan, I remained true to my daily workouts. I cannot believe that I am done Workout 6 for good! I love these transitions to new parts of the program. Progress is good.
Nothing new to say about the program here. I worked harder than ever on this one, and I felt it for the remainder of the day. I still try to get my exercises done as early as possible in the day so that I don't have to worry about it later on. It helps to schedule it in.
In terms of food, I started the day with a Blueberry Banana Muffin and two cups of coffee... usual fare.
Lunch was a modified recipe, since I had no more tortillas (grocery shopping will be done Monday). So I made a modified Tomato, Avocado and Cheddar Burrito by broiling it on a whole wheat pita and folding over rather than rolling. Tasty! One of my new faves, and comes in at 306 cals.
In order to sway any chocolate cravings I may have later in the day, I had a frozen Chocolate Banana Pop for snack on our way over to mum's for Easter dinner. It may have helped, since I didn't sneak any other chocolates. My goal for this week, is no off-menu items; no sneaking food or bites. Let's see if I can undo some of my Easter damage.
Here is a pic of the older boys searching for eggs at Grandma and Grandpapa's.
Dinner, I failed to get a pic again, was a roasted lamb with oven-roasted potatoes, braised leeks with tomatoes, and asparagus. How satisfying! Dessert was an angel food cake with a lemon cheese layer and fresh berries. Altogether not a bad dinner in terms of calories. It was the Lindt chocolate bunny that did me in at 525 cals! I hope it is out of my system now! That along with the wine may set me back, so I need to be sure that I am focussed for the rest of the week.
Enjoy your day!

Every time I see that avacado wrap I think "I need to make that!" Maybe this weekend. I have a serious leftovers issue!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you think of workout 7. The first circuit is by far the hardest but so good!
