I wanted to work out this morning and had a difficult time sipping my coffee and reading the newspaper instead. Indicators of a lifestyle change.
Rest Day
Not much to report on a rest day, except that every calorie counts when I do not exercise. As I mentioned in my opening inspiration, I did want to exercise today but didn't. It's just as important to rest these muscles as it is to work them hard on the other days. I had a wonderful visit from my friend and ran some errands.
For breakfast I ate a Blueberry Banana Muffin while I sipped my coffee and read the paper. It helped too that W felt like sleeping in a bit today. A busy weekend sure helped that!
Since we were out running errands, I took my little man to McD's for lunch where we both had a cheeseburger and apple slices.
For afternoon snack I enjoyed a nonfat latte with a quarter cup of mango acai trail mix. So very satisfying and what a caffeine kick the latte provides.
Dinner was a new concoction. I prepared salmon fillets served alongside a quinoa salad with vegetables. I also warmed up a french baguette and served with butter. After dinner, I had a few calories left over and indulged in a drumstick caramel cone. I could have had two of them, but twice hubby told me no after I said I was going to get one. My good choice was denying that urge and drinking more water. What was yours?
Tomorrow begins the last 6 days of my journey. I am ready for this. Bring on workout 11.
See you tomorrow! Nighty night,
Peach
Great job holding back on the second drumstick! you are doing so good and only 6 days to do. Wow
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so awesome - congrats. And what a change to WANT to workout, eh? Time seems to have flown, hasn't it. How have we been blogging and BR-ing (my own verb) for almost 90 days already?? I know everyone says they are going to keep blogging, but I'll miss the bond of everyone climbing the same mountain together. I have been really enjoying reading your blog. Looking forward to the next (LAST) 6 days of your Body Revolution!! Woot! Woot!
ReplyDeleteRest days always feel so strange but I can really feel the difference on Monday if I've truly been resting. Can't wait to hear what's next for you!
