Workin Out With Food

I couldn't wait to get on my elliptical this morning. I cannot believe I just said that, but, YES it's true!! I skipped my workout yesterday since I ran out the door early and I just didn't find the block of time the rest of the day. I haven't taken a "day off" in a long time; I always try to do some type of exercise, so I kinda felt weird about it all day. Anyway, while on the elliptical, I was watching The Food Network . Why I do this to myself, I don't know. I'm obsessed with food; it's a problem -evident by the size of my hips! I tried to change around the channels, but nothing interesting was on. Note to self: Watching The Food Network is not conducive to getting in a good workout! I could not wait to be done so I could eat breakfast!! Therefore, the workout was only 30 minutes which is stinky since I did not work out yesterday. Maybe, I can fit in a Wii Fit workout later today.




Breakfast ended up being a Western Alternative Bagel with Laughing Cow Light Cheese and a yummy ripe pear...





Today, we were invited by friends to go to a Children's Christmas Party/Luncheon at their snazzy country club and I'm not quite sure what to expect in the food department. I may have a small fruit before we go and just keep my fingers crossed that there will be some healthy choices at the party. We'll see...

Focused

That is what I am striving for today; to be focused on my healthy eating goals and not let a little overindulgence yesterday take over. I feel ready this morning. Here's how I started out...

• 1/2 c. plain nonfat greek yogurt
• 1/2 c. crushed pineapple
• slice of pumpkin bread (yes, I still have a few pieces left!)

If you haven't tried greek yogurt, don't be afraid. It is really good; very thick and has tons of protein. I bought the Trader Joe's brand which has 11gr. protein for 1/2c.!

I also did 30 min. on the elliptical and plan on doing the Wii Fit later. I am going to drown myself in water today to combat some of the sodium from yesterday! Hopefully, I won't grow gills... :)
