You guys won’t believe this!! Not only was I up by 7am, but I had a full workout and was at my desk by 9:15. Amazing I know. Of course, I owe this all to FH being home and returning to his normal work schedule. (Usually he would be off this week for post-deployment leave but because of his course he had to go straight to it today…he’ll be off when the course is over instead.)
Workout:
Treadmill: 2 min warm up, 18 minute run, 3 min cooldown (1.75 miles)
Upper Body: I couldn’t remember if today was supposed to be upper or lower body…haha…tooooo early…so I just went with what felt best.
- 3 sets of 15: tricep pulldowns (15lbs), bicep curls (25lbs), military presses (25lbs)
Core: 30 of each
- side crunches on the ball (30 each side)
- reverse crunches
- regular crunches
Breakfast: I was STARVING after the return to the early morning workout, so immediately following my shower I put together a big bowl of Kashi Honey Almond Flax cereal with unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze (& a few Cinnamon Puffins just for fun). With coffeeeeee of course! and a small side dish of blackberries for a fruit component.
Lunch: Don’t know if it was the lack of a real meal yesterday or just the change in routine, but by the time noon rolled around my stomach was actually grrrrrrowling. After reading this fun little article on MSN today I decided that avocado needed to be on the menu…so made a repeat of the wrap from the other day.
In the wrap: light mayo, grainy dijon, shredded light cheddar, matchstick carrots, deli turkey, and lots of avocado. All rolled up in a small ww tortilla and served with some Mary’s Crackers, a dollop of hummus, and a simple tomato salad (chopped tomato mixed with EVOO and s&p).
It’s soooo quiet for work today. Most of my coworkers (including my bosses) are American so they’ve all taken a long weekend for Memorial Day. It’s been a nice opportunity to catch up on some things I’ve been letting get backlogged. Don’t you love a clean email Inbox?

OOPSIE....
Looks so good!
I love routine in my schedule it helps me get focus.
Wow, great job this morning!
As for your other post...I think FH wearing 2 different uniforms for the wedding definitely means you get 2 dresses ;)
Thanks for your comment on my blog...you're right--I eat a lot of processed foods. The one breakfast that is pretty healthy and I LOVE is 1/2 c. hulled oats with a bit of milk, a bit of sugar (like 1 T), 10-15 g of walnut pieces, and 15 g of chocolate chips...but it's around 500 calories, so I'm scared to eat it for breakfast! Weird, I know, but that's the way I think.
I'm a huge advocate of weighing yourself whenever you feel like it, as I don't understand the "fear" of the scale that I read about so often. But if I find that I'm freaking out about being under 200 too much, I'll consider trying it...for a week at first, maybe. Maybe that way I can sneak down into Onederland without my brain having a chance to realize what I'm doing. You think? LOL!
I LOVE the honey almond flax cereal..it's my new fav and I don't even buy milk anymore, it's all about the almond breeze, only lately i'm all about the unsweetened chocolate! That wrap looks awesome!!
You are totally rockin' your exercise routine!
