Wow, what an amazing week! I love this new challenge I'm in, even though I'm not interacting as much as I should. I've been busy exercising, recovering from exercising, shopping for healthy food, preparing healthy meals, breads, treats like healthy granola bars and healthier homemade butterfingers (so satisfying!), doing stuff with my partner or with friends, etc.
It's not always easy to use the computer, as my partner works from home, and thinks out loud, or has the TV on while working & thinking out loud. I have a hard time concentrating, as I'm not so good at multi-tasking. It makes me want to eat See's Peppermint twists, which I'm doing as I type.
This morning I did an hour of Zumba, then went out with friends for a nonfat latte. I felt pretty good, so I went back to the gym at noon and did a 30 minute BodyPump class. Another friend was there with her friend, which made for an even better workout.
I made a big slow cooker split pea and ham soup yesterday as well as whole wheat flaxseed bread, and whole grain coconut cookies. I rode my exercise bike for 30 minutes, and was drenched in sweat. Ahhh.
That was my day of recovery after Saturday's morning Pilates and afternoon 90 minute Zumba party. The party was amazingly high-energy, and I had a wonderful time.
A friend of mine brought me some potato soup (I took her some apple cheddar bread & coconut cookies), so my partner will be happy with that for dinner. I'm looking forward to leftover split pea soup, with a slice of the whole wheat apple cheddar (spicy) bread I made.
I read an article today on "eating to perform", and I'm happy that I have such wholesome foods to fuel my workouts. I had a blueberry smoothie for breakfast, made with frozen blueberries, nonfat greek yogurt, and unsweetened coconut milk. The article suggested that you need to eat to lose body fat, not just work out more. Eating good stuff, I'm sure. I'm down with that. :)
