Reunited and it feels so good

I didn't get a chance to do my yoga yesterday before going to coffee (cuz I lazily slept an extra 10 minutes and then Sky was already up).  Anywho, I pulled out the mat this morning and did the very first episode of "Namaste Yoga"....And I feel awesome.  I'm so glad I did it!  Maybe if I'm not excruciatingly sore after work, I'll do another one.  After all, the eps are only 24 minutes long and not extremely intense.  I'm so glad to have found a website where I can watch them for free!

And now, I've got to layer up to brace for this ridiculous cold snap... -11 degrees outside right now=nasty cold.

I used a few recipes I found online with a few tweaks to make it healthier and made a most masterfully amazing Mongolian beef with brown rice and asparagus.  It's shocking how healthy it turned out to be.  I'll post the recipe later.  It was totally worth the hot'n'sweaty hike down Cliff hill to the market and then back up it pushing Z in the stroller the whole way.  I needed soy sauce but Terri didn't leave me the carseat so we had to walk to the closest local that carried it 2.25 miles away.  I got sunburned like whoa too.

A Food Journal: Day 8

I thought earlier when I posted that I wasn't going to do well today, but I stayed under 1500 calories (though admittedly a lot of what I ate wasn't the best for me).  Again, it was a holiday.  And, I've got to be able to splurge now and then.  As long as I make up for it with a vigorous workout or two, it's fine.  So here's today's tally:

Breakfast: (540)
honey oat bagel with neufchatel cheese (310)
fruit with Wilton chocolate melts, pineapple, strawberry, apple, cantaloupe (120+30+10+25+15)
coffee with cream and Truvia (30)

Lunch: (290)
2 string cheese (160)
pineapple ring (30)
cheese nips (100)
diet coke

Dinner: (425)
2 slices of gyro pizza from Big Cheese (approx. 425)

Snacks: (70)
2 Twizzlers (70)

Workout:
P90X: Cardio X (45 min)
6-pack Ab Calorie Burn (10 min)
Strong and Sexy Upper Body Burn (10 min)


(1325)


As an aside, Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.  Especially mine, because she's the best.  And all others who were supposed to be mothers once but aren't now...this day didn't really feel that great in that respect.  For that, I'm having a glass of wine to toast my dead child and I'm not going to count it.  So there.
