Is It Saturday Yet?!?!?!?!?!?

Only kidding Ben!
Today was cardio day for us MOOsers (boy was it ever!) More interval training with the same set up as Tuesday but this time we had four stations…the group favorite stationary bike, step ups, the fire hose, and a new one…and I don’t know what Ben will call it but we will call it band rows. I have to say, we were all very excited to see that fire hose laying across the floor this morning, but I think Ben switched the hose we used on Tuesday for one that weighed at least 40 pounds more. Man did that hose feel especially heavy today! I think yesterday’s butt whooping took more of a toll than I thought. I am exhausted; it seriously took a lot of “digging deep” to get through today’s workout. But with the support of Ben and the other girls and a little playful betting between Missy and I, we were all able to find it within ourselves to “get there”. It is amazing to think how far we have come in just two weeks. Can you imagine where we will be in two months?!?! I can’t wait!! I can already see a difference in the other girls – everyone’s faces look thinner – it is so exciting!!
Oh and before I forget, my after dinner snack last night was ½ cup of no fat cottage cheese and ¼ cup of blueberries (thanks for the recommendation Ben!) I really need to get to the grocery store the fridge is getting pretty bare!! I have my shopping list all ready to go though. My plan of attack was to meal plan for the week and buy only what is on my list. I’ll let you know how that goes! If I remember to bring my list in the store I will be doing well!! (Ask Shaun, I love to make lists I’m not so good at following them or remembering to bring them with me!!) Speaking of food here was today’s menu – nothing too exciting – like I said Old Mother Hubbard’s Cupboards are pretty bare!!
Pre Workout: Toast with Almond Butter
Post Workout: Protein Shake
Breakfast: Egg white omelet with spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, cheese and tomatoes
Lunch: Large Tuna Wrap on a whole wheat wrap loaded with veggies
Snack: Greek Yogurt
Dinner: Well I was going to have chicken, a veggie and a baked potato. But when I went home to cook my chicken that had been thawing in the sink, it had disappeared. After some quick scouring of the usual hiding spots I saw it….the empty Ziploc bag that once held my dinner and one very guilty dog hiding behind me. You see it is VERY EASY to tell when Tanner has done something wrong; he literally wears the guilt on his face. He crinkles up his nose and lip and tucks that tail between his legs. So, dinner is on hold while I figure something else out. I guess that will teach me – frozen meat goes in the microwave to thaw. Honestly, who needs kids really????
I’ll let you know how I make out with dinner and grocery shopping tomorrow!! Oh and don’t forget to listen to Moo92 tomorrow – we will all be on talking about our first two weeks!! Have a great night everyone!!! xoxo
