Hopefully this ends up being what I have in mind at this very moment (January 9, 2012 at 10:51am)...
A place where I can track my workouts, my eating habits, share healthy recipes, and to use it as an accountability tool... Here we go.

Boo for sore shoulders...

Well, today was quite unproductive, but I enjoyed it.
I woke up around 8:00 today and hung out with Doc and Cullen, made the bed, picked up here and there and headed downstairs for some breakfast.
I could tell that I wasn't going to be able to do a whole lot at the gym because my shoulders were so tight today. I thought that if I continuously stretched them throughout the morning that they'd get to feeling better...
I sat around, did some stretching and recipe hunting and by the time I knew it, it was lunch time.
Dallas called and said precious Cody had invited us to lunch at the country club. Goodnight it sounded good, but I just couldn't do it. I have been trying so hard to eat right and stay on this healthy eating plan that I had to resist the urge to go eat that delicious, yummy food.
Instead, I stayed home and made me a whole wheat tuna wrap. It was really good... and now, hours later, I don't mind that I missed that lunch. I feel good and know I saved myself about 1,000 calories, carbohydrates and fat grams. Lucky boys, they can workout for a week and see fat shrinkage and muscle bulk. Us girls take a little more time, but I think we appreciate the work a little more. :)



Step one- Whole wheat tortilla, fat free cheese, jalapenos!
Step two- tuna fish!


Step three- Roll it up and enjoy!!




 I headed off to the gym and met up with Dallas where I saw Cody and finally met Kirk. It's fun getting to know people around the gym that are a good support system and who are so willing to help out anytime you need it.
I started off with my CF warm-up.

3 sets of:
5 pull ups
10 tripcep dips
10 air squats
10 back extensions
10 sit ups

I headed back into the weight room to get started on my work out, but I realized after giving the kettlebell a swing, that I wasn't going to be able to do what I had initially planned for the day.
My workout was going to be

20 minutes AMRAP:
5 pike pushups
7 squat thrusts
10 kettlebells swings

Those were all things that would involve using my shoulders and my body was telling me that wasn't a good idea at that point. I figure I'd give it a rest for the day and start over again tomorrow. My body will get use to CF again soon, I'm sure. That's what I get for taking a month off!!! UGH!

I wasn't very good at getting my 5 meals in today. I was kind of icky to my stomach today. Not sick or anything, just not really feeling like eating.

Here's what I did consume:
1/3 cup of oatmeal, tsp brown sugar, tsp raisins
Tuna fish wrap (tuna, teaspoon miracle whip, teaspoon mustard, salt and pepper) 1/8 cup of  fat free cheddar cheese, jalapenos and a whole wheat tortilla.
I cheated and had two hersheys candy cane kisses.
Mexican chicken soup (my version).
Glass of peach green tea, 2 tsp. sugar (little extra today...it was good too!) lol
WATER WATER WATER!


Mexican Chicken Soup
(and no picture, dang it! I ate it all before I remembered)
In a pot mix together:
3 cans reduced sodium fat free chicken broth
Can of stewed tomatoes (no salt added)
Can of diced tomatoes
Can of hominy
Can of corn
Whole chopped onion
4 garlic cloves chopped
2 chopped stalks of celery
2 chopped carrots
2 chopped jalapenos (gutted before you chop them)
Cooked shredded chicken (cooked with pepper, garlic salt, chili powder) 
Add in seasonings as you see fit. I used a little salt and some pepper and chili powder.
Bring it to a boil, cover, reduce heat and let it simmer for 25 minutes.

We topped ours off with some fat free cheddar cheese and a small dollop of sour cream.
It was super yummy!!

Now I'm off to cuddle with my Love and watch some moving picture box. Nighty night, everyone!
Be Blessed!!!!
