Okay! Getting back into the swing of things with blogging is taking a bit longer than I anticipated! Anyway, here I am, back to tell you all about what I did this week to continue forward on my weight loss goal.
Food:
Using the CSA has been great fun, and is definitely getting us into a habit of using more veggies in our everyday cooking. It also doesn’t hurt that I have a strong and strange love of prunes. For most of the week I’m sticking with salads – easy to do, because we get a big bag of spinach every week. And most of the food we’re preparing these days is leaning toward Asian – because a lot of the veggies we’re getting are things like Bok Choy and Mizuna (a Japanese mustard green).
Fitness:
We’ve been doing really well with getting in at least 40 min of exercise a day. On really good days, we manage to get in the 30 day shred and two 20 min Yoga routines. On the decent days, we at least do the Yoga.
We’re in love with a yoga series by Sara Ivanhoe. It’s 5 20 minute workouts and a bonus Yoga with Swiss ball routine. We’ve done four of the six so far (we only have one swiss ball atm and the weights we have are too heavy for the “Power sculpt with weights”) and our favorite has to be the cardio one – it’s made me love bicycle crunches!
Hurdles:
In a word… Bacon. It is evil. Tasty, tasty evil. The recipe we made on Monday, Shrimp with Bacon and Collards (Recipe and a picture on Saturday), called for 4 slices of bacon. And so we made those four… and then the rest of the package. Luckily, all I did was snack on the bits meant to be sprinkled over the dish – and didn’t scarf down the whole broiler pan waiting to be put away – but I did think about it.Bacon.
Today’s Weigh-in: 147.8
Yay! It looks like you're doing great. Can't wait to see the collard green dish and hear what you thought about it.
