Yesterday I had a nice carb heavy lunch. It included 2 of my daily 5 fruits and veggies. Sometimes ordinary food taste better when I slow down and enjoy. It also helps when it looks good. Leftovers in a take out box never look as good as the real thing. In my mind, I know there the same, but I always let my husband have them…unless it’s Italian. What? Did someone say tomato and basil?….yum.
Spontaneous a la Pasta: While the pasta was cocking I sautéed some tomatoes & turkey. Then, seasoned with basil and garlic. At the end, I added a little alfredo and tossed it all together. Not extremely healthy, but great flavor.
(When I finally do take the time to make a meal, I make a ton of it, so I have leftovers, and so I don’t have to cook all the time. Yes, I did cut up my banana instead of just shoving it in my mouth = )
1. Physical Fitness: Exercise 5 days a week
Yesterday hubby went out and got the rest of the groceries while I stayed with the kids and did an excellent workout. I like the flexibility of being able to work out at home and at the gym.
Bike: 4 min warm up
Abs: 100 various sit ups
Arms: Did I ever work my upper body. I did 20 push ups, then I maxed out (go until I can’t do any more then do 5 more) on military press, tricep kick backs, tricep extensions, lateral/posterior/frontal raises, curls, reveres fly, and lateral rows (I use to strengthen my shoulder.) Either way I felt it in the best of ways.
Tonight I get to meet with a physical trainer. I need to know what I want to focus on before I go, so I can make the most of my workout/training session. I think I’ll focus on lower body. Hamstrings, gluts, inner thigh and outer thigh to be more specific. Wow, that sounds like many women’s problem areas. I’ll share any new tips she gives me.
2. Mental Fitness: Set and complete 5 daily goals every day
Today
– be grateful
– read 5 min
– make lintel soup red potato vegetable
– meet with trainer
– 5 Min Blitz the house
3. Financial Fitness: Set aside or come up with $500 for San Diego
Yesterday when my hubby left for the store I quickly scanned thru a stack of coupons. It was at least $8 worth. Now, I’ve already over spent in the food budget, so I won’t be depositing the difference. However I know I can come up with another $50 or even earn it.
4. Social Fitness: 5 Connect with five people daily…baby steps
Yesterday was the first day I had to actually put thought into this one. I called a few people to say hi. I found out my that my grandma (who grew up in Hollywood) got to meet Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Elvis Presley. She said that they were just like everybody else, but the only difference is they spent an hour in makeup.
5. Nutritional Fitness: Eat 5 Vegetable or fruits daily
I had 5 servings of fruits and veggies yesterday. Pumpkin, broccoli, banana, apple, edamame. Today I had leftover pumpkin oatmeal for breakfast. Lunch I’m hoping to have the soup done by then which is loaded with veggies.
