I'm a bit behind on writing this, so forgive me for my brevity. Looking forward to today's workout: Pilates - which is touted as a "rest day".
The day began as usual: coffee, 1/2 Exekiel muffin with 1 tsp. peanut butter. From what I can remember~ Green: 50/50 mix, cucumber, snap peas. Purple: mango, pineapple. Red: hard boiled eggs, beef patty (counted as 2). Yellow: Black beans, 1/2 muffin (^). Blue: Sargento Balanced Break. Orange: olives.
The Pilates Fix was a nice respite from the last few days. My muscles needed the good stretch. This wasn't exactly a walk in the park either - I was still dripping sweat by the time the 20 mins. was over. Since the lawn guy is supposed to come today, I can't go in the pool. (I mean, who wants to be splashing around in the pool when the Tru-Green guy is doing his chemical treatment thing, amiright? He winds up not coming until about 4 - which blows my whole chance. So instead, I clean both bathrooms - woohoo! go me!
Time for lunch: I combined the 50/50, cucumbers, olives, black beans, and sliced up the hardboiled eggs to create a salad. But it looked a little blah, so I sliced up two baby sweet bell peppers and voila! that pop of color made all the difference. YUM!
Take aways: Yes, I had a potato roll with the burger. Yes, I'm running low on protein. I'm trying to figure out how to raise my protein intake, but I get so full, I'm not really wanting anything else. No, I'm not giving up my coffee. Yes, I still had two glasses of wine at the end of the night.
