It’s time for What I Ate Wednesday, originally started by Peas and Crayons!
“What WIAW isn’t about—-
Comparison – Judgement – Restriction – Guilt
—-What WIAW is about—-
Celebrating one of the glorious things we all have in common: We all eat!
WIAW is about food and fun! It’s about making new friends, breaking out of a food rut, noting changes in your diet/lifestyle, inspiring yourself & others, embracing fruit & vegetables, nourishing your body with the foods that work for you, finding new ways to eat your favorite foods, and so. much. more. <3
Celebrate Food. Celebrate blogging. Celebrate Individuality.”
So today was my first day back at the gym, actually first workout since Sunday. It seems like forever ago but it was only 2 days off. My legs were pretty sore and tired on Monday but I am ready to go now! I got 20 minutes on the elliptical, quite a bit of weights, sit ups, push-ups and planks and then finished with about 8 minutes on the stationary bike. Burned 500 calories in 1 hour.
My pre-gym snack was homemade granola bites and then post-gym a protein shake from Smoothie King. That kept me from buying too many snacks at the grocery store.
I decided to run an experiment with my Nike + Sport Watch and heart rate monitor today. After I left the gym, I reset it and headed over to the grocery store. I got my groceries bought, took them home, put them up, then cleaned and mopped by bathroom. I almost forgot I still had my heart rate monitor running ~ I burned another 240 calories doing all that (about 80 minutes).
Lunch was pizza, decided to try that on Naan bread again. Pineapple, canadian bacon and cheese makes a pretty good pizza!
And of course my usual day of errands and laundry, guess I should have left that heart rate monitor on all day! I got these muffins to try, so I’m baking, sort of.
Dinner was rotisserie chicken, home -made mashed potatoes, carrots and green beans. Yummy!
Tomorrow’s agenda includes 5 miles at 5AM. Right now the forecast says 49 degrees, I’ll take it!
Did you workout today? Eat anything yummy?
