Breakfast I’m keeping my breakfast the same as I’ve been having since I feel really good about the size and quality of it. So pretty much every weekday morning I’ll be having the same thing: 1 mini banana, 1 strawberry, 2 blackberries, 4 blueberries, a tablespoon of vanilla yogurt made from coconut milk, and a tablespoon of Ezekiel 4:9 Golden Flax Cereal.
Workout 1 I joined my workout buddies for our Friday workout. One hour of running around dribbling and kicking soccer balls. I modified the WOW to make it all soccer-flavored. I used only my left foot since the big toe on my right foot is broken. We did lots of Burpees, squats, and stationary cardio activities. I’d say I operated at a Push Factor of 6-8 for the workout. I even found out that I can kinda sorta run on the grass. Friday workouts tend to be a bit more low key than the rest of the week. They are also more fun and games oriented – a fun way to workout without really thinking about the WORK.
Lunch Half a veggie sandwich. Here are the parts: homemade whole wheat and barley bread, spread with homemade basil pesto, and stuffed with sliced carrots, cucumber, green and red bell peppers, tomato, and lettuce. Ten Veggie and Flaxmeal Tortilla Strips from Trader Joe’s on the side. Mmmmm. This is my favorite sandwich!
Snack – 9 mixed nuts, raw and unsalted.
Dinner Went out to Chuck’s Waterfront Grill for Shauna’s grandfather’s birthday. Of course, a steakhouse isn’t exactly our vegan idea of the ultimate place to eat, but it wasn’t either of our birthdays. So we scoured the menu for options and decided to split a baked potato and a salad. I only put some homemade basil pesto (which I smuggled in) on my half a potato. And I also smuggled in some Braggs Ginger and Sesame dressing for the salad and some soy-free margarine for one tiny piece of bread I had. Then we came home and each had a small homemade, totally healthy Shockingly Fantastic Oatmeal Cookie. I felt satisfied, not at all full.
Workout 2 After dinner I did 15/15 sets for 30 minutes. I put on my favorite workout music, Rodrigo y Gabriela, chose two activities and switched off every 15 seconds for the whole song. Then I picked two new activities for the next song and so on until 30 minutes was up. I alternated between a cardio activity and a resistance exercise using my dumbbells. Totally awesome.
I feel great!!!
