Today was a busy day; getting 3 kids out the door in the morning isn't easy. Amidst the chaos, I am glad that I am trying to eat healthier and exercise because I really do have more energy to keep up with my little tikes.
Exercise Report:
I went to Kevin's FIT class and it did not disappoint. I really enjoy his classes because I feel that I get the most bang for my buck; it's nice to know that I work out as hard as I possibly can in an hour and then it's over. If I were going at my own pace without the class setting, it would probably take me three times as long to burn as many calories as I do in Kevin's class.
The workout consisted of an intense 1 minute workout at 4 different stations. The workouts at each station focused on different parts of the body. The first station was focused on arms (cowbell swings), the second was focused on abs (V ups), the third was focused on legs (squats in combination with throwing a medicine ball), and the fourth was jump roping to keep up our heart rates). We had to do as many reps as we could at each station for 1 minute. It was very hard but in a good way.
Eating Report:
1 Morning Star sausage
1 Babybel cheese
5 ants on a log (my celery pieces were about a pinky finger size in length)
1 Kashi granola bar
2 cups vegetable soup
2 cups white bean soup (includes tomatoes, onions, chicken broth, and spices). I REALLY liked this recipe. I get so happy when I find recipes that are healthy and relatively inexpensive. It is also pretty low in sugar and sodium. White beans are delicious and full of protein. Check it out and give it a try some time:http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/white-bean-soup/detail.aspx
handful of multigrain cheerios (my nightly treat)
Reflection for today:
Try to get more green leafy vegetables in your diet. Spinach keeps pretty well. Spring mix keeps pretty well too. If you have some of your favorite salad toppings cut up the night before, you will be much more likely to put the salad together the next day at lunch time.
Thanks for reading.
