My hubby and I went away to Cape May this weekend, which is why I'm a bit late in writing. I met with Jodi on Thurs., Apr. 5, and I'm delighted to say I'm down another 1% bodyfat. Her scale wasn't working, so she couldn't weigh me. But she seemed much more interested in my decreasing blubber. LOL!
Here are this week's diet and workout changes:
- Cardio is now 5 times per week for 45 min. (keeping heart rate in 130-135 range)
- Dinner carb is no longer brown rice; now it's 4 oz. sweet potato (woohoo!!)
It was a tough few days being away. We ate at some fabulous restaurants where I was dying to try everything -- hot, fresh bread and a pastry brie special that I literally drooled over. UGH!! I saved my precious cheat meal for Sat.'s Easter feast. There's nothing like my Mom's home-cooking.
I packed all of my supplements, protein powder, bars and workout clothes so I could be as prepared as possible. With the great weather, I power-walked on the beach on Friday, which was fabulous. Unfortunately, no matter how much I swung my arms or how long my strides were, I couldn't get my heart rate over 108. LOL!
It was tough, but I was soooo good. Our usual drill is going to the Cape May Winery for lunch for a cheese platter and bottle of wine. I brought a plain salad with shredded chicken and had half a glass of wine. *Sigh* I just keep telling myself that someone else is eating better and training harder than me. That's what the little voice in my head says whenever I get tempted.
Finally, Saturday arrived and I was ready to dive head first into my glorious Easter cheat meal. Here's what I had:
- Stuffed celery (cream cheese & olives packed into celery)
- Deviled eggs
- Shrimp cocktail
- Kielbasa & sauerkraut
- Ham
- Prime Rib
- Asparagus
- Chopped antipasto salad
- Lots of specialty dark chocolates (which I bought in Cape May at my favorite fudge shop)
- Homemade apple pie with whipped cream
- Homemade chocolate strawberry shortcake
Needless to say, I had a wicked food hangover on Sunday. I literally felt like I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I couldn't function!! It actually made me look forward to eating clean. Who knew that could even happen?
Back to my regular workout routine and eating habits. Stay tuned for my next update!
