I woke up at 4:30 am today, because I needed to get some work done. Then I realized that my daughter didn’t have the shirt clean that I promised her would be clean so I did some laundry. Which, in turn, made me realize how far behind on laundry I was. Needless to say, I had a very deflating morning. I spent a good portion of the time yelling at myself for being a shitty person, mother, wife, etc… and then alternately giving myself the pep talk. You know the one – where you vow to change your life and be better at everything! Yep – that one.
So, I lifted some weights today while on my conference call. I think I did 2 reps of 30 each, bicep curls, lateral raises, military presses and hammer curls. (all with 5lb weights in each hand) I also did squats and lunges, but probably not enough to make a difference. I wanted to get on the elliptical, but there is always the issue of being able to sneak away from work so that I can do the 30 minute workout and then another 45 minutes for me to shower and get ready – so that is harder to fit in.
Lets see – what did I eat today?
Breakfast – organic granola bar, 1 mug of coffee with Silk hazelnut creamer
Lunch – Spanish brown rice with a little ground turkey & salsa
Snack – whole wheat tortilla with whole avocado sliced and some black olives, spinach salad & olive oil dressing.
Snack 2 – handful potato chips
Dinner – cauliflower and garlic chicken, small bit of pasta
Not so bad, except for that snack which was really another meal. a whole avocado is an amazing amount of fat & calories. While I realize it is good fat – it is still fat nonetheless.
Still looking at that Kelly Ripa picture – I really want that body!!
