Gooooood morning!
So before I get into my day I wanted to confess to something. Last night after all that rice and broccoli and garlic goodness a few hours passed and I was hungry AGAIN. At first I went with the saying "oh you aren't hungry you're just thirsty" you probably haven't had water in awhile. So I drank my 25 oz bottle and a little bit. Nope. I was actually hungry. Although I know if I'm hungry I should have something simple like a protein shake or an apple with almond butter. Long story short I indulged with a cheddar cheese and jalepino bagel with light cream cheese (as if that makes a difference). And it was DELICIOUS. Yeah I went out of bounds but I knew I was going to smash a double day with Shaun T in the morning. And guess what, I did.
Waking up I was dreading the workout. Has anyone done a workout with Shaun T? Insanity? Max 30? I'm not going to count Hip Hop Abs or Cize because those are in a moderate category. When you sweat with Shaun t it's intense. Like imagine sweat (even after you wipe it) drip down your face, in your mouth. In your eyes. You don't want to stop but the burn from having sweat in your eyes is excruciating. That was me this morning.
I KILLED Total body Circuit. Breezed through the cooldown then took a little break. That was a mistake right there - I got too comfortable and let my muscles relax. Sat down, posted on snap chat and Instagram. Even made myself a green tea. Popped the second DVD in (Cardio) and was ready to rock. Both workouts start off the same - slow jog. High knees. High knee jog. There was no way I was going to push my body to the limits. I do not want every part of my body sore tomorrow... 1) it's not fun 2) very uncomfortable 3) I have another double day tomorrow and lastly 4) we are celebrating my sisters birthday tomorrow and what's fun about an aunty sitting on her tush and not entertaining the kids?
Needless to say I finished Cardio but not with a full dedication which I what I normally do.
Also both these workouts were done on a complete empty stomach.. now onto food:
Brunch: leftover cauliflower rice with bok choy, peppers, chili flakes and a homemade teriyaki sauce (no ginger though).
I traveled to my parents in this brutal snow storm. Actually it wasn't so bad. So as usual when I get there I'm starving and thank goodness my mom is an awesome cook - and she knows I need low carb - so I had spaghetti squash with a chicken Parmesan sauce with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mind you that was delicious and healthy as usual my dad offers me wine. And who can say no? That's my weekend cheat.
Did I forget to mention I made amazing hummus? That's my thing in the spring / summer. Nothing like hummus with garlic, chilli flakes, cayenne and more garlic.. anywho - today was a good day.
For dinner I had: Mandarin spinach salad, mom's homemade potato salad, chickpea salad, mom's homemade pea soup with a side of genoa salami. So that was my day. Now Kristina is here. We will enjoy wine and have a puzzle party. Hopefully we are able to put it together in one go.... stay tuned friends. Have a great night.
