Ahhh....Sunday!

What a day so far! Work up relatively late for me at a stunning 10am and had what is quite possibly my favorite breakfast on the planet earth:



PLUS



PLUS

Banana!

EQUALS


(Me...Happy...and minus the creepy grin. lol)

So yea, 2 Kashi (Honey Oat) Waffles plus a good smearing of Skippys Natural Peanut Butter plus diced bananas is soooooo so soooooo, let me emphasize....SOOOOO good. Try it!

Next I tried to sit down and create a new cycling CD for class, but my computer was being less than cooperative so I just ended up using an old (but hard) one. I was totally not motivated to cycle today but I had a REALLY good group, and it changed my spirit! My shirt was ringable with sweat afterwards, so it was all in all another cycling success!

I also did weights today which I have to say is really growing on me. For the longest time I NEVER did weights and focused strictly on cardio which I think really contributed to my arm skin being so gross and saggy! (Eww!) But after 12 weeks or so of 3 hardcore weight days a week, I am really starting to see a difference. My FREE personal trainer and all around fitness pal Ginny and I usu sally go on Mon, Wed, and Fri mornings extreeeemely early so that way we can have the free weight room @ the Y to ourselves. We focus on 2 body parts (Triceps, Biceps, Back, Shoulders, Chest, Lower Body) and do 3 sets of 3 exercises each. Sounds complicated...but trust me, if I can do it...anyone can.

Anywho...after weights/cardio I headed home and made a super delicious smoothie! Here was the recipe for today:

*1 Cup Frozen Mixed Berry Blend (Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries)
*3 Large Spoonfulls Fat Free PLAIN Yogurt
*1 Cup LIGHT Apple Juice
*Spoonfull of Splenda

Blend that baby up and enjoy! I usually add a banana, but I was out...so I added a bit more yogurt and some extra juice.



I also snacked on one of my FAVORITE nutrition bars on the planet:


Well, time to wrap this up kiddos! I am meeting some friends at our upcoming (about a month away) 8K route for some practice! I am hoping to complete this bad boy in 40 minutes or under, so I will take all the practice I can get! FINALLY getting to go see "Drag Me To Hell" later, which I will be enjoying with some popcorn AND candy. And yes...thats my dinner. Naughty I know, but with my calorie expenditure today plus my un-dying LOVE for movie theatre food, I am willing to substitute it for dinner.

So there.

:P

Have a great day everyone!
