Exercise:
I did not make it to the gym today. I have been feeling a bit sluggish all day. I did however try my first EVER workout DVD. I streamed it from Netflix through Matt's Xbox. It was a short one, and definitely for beginners, but I will admit it had me sweating and jumping around in my living room which honestly- has never happened before. I followed it up with some tricep exercises using free weights and some extra squats. BAM!
Notes:
The dressing I am getting down on is Annie's Lite Honey Mustard Vinaigrette. I kind of splurged at dinner tonight, ate a little more than usual.... including a few chips with hummus after dinner. Not too many though! Normally, without thinking, I would have polished off all that hummus. Blame it on the wine....
Almonds are SUCH a great snack! And woohoo with all that quinoa. I need to make some...
ReplyDeleteI tell you what, the Friday night urge to drink and be jolly (and munch a little more than normal) is HARD to resist. How funny that you were struggling with it at the same time I was.
HA! Yeah, except I didn't have any peer pressure!!! I was at HOME! I will say, there is a direct correlation between being tired and weakened willpower. And yeah, I ate those hummus and chips but don't be fooled- all I wanted was CHOCOLATE. Real bad. I thought I had some dark chocolate with mint stashed in here somewhere but I couldn't find it! I'm probably better off for not finding it....
ReplyDeleteYou know what's a healthy alternative to chocolate cravings? (Actually, it's really the same thing): roasted cocoa nibs. I got some from The Spice House on Wells. They're actually really good for you and are super high in anti-oxidants. I will try to remember to bring some to our workout session tomorrow.
