Saturday, Jan 23, 2010 Workout & Food

Here’s what I did to workout this morning:



I didn’t work out until the evening today….that may be a first. What I realized is that it’s waaaaaaaaaay harder to find motivation in the evening (I’d rather sit on my couch in my sweats watching TV).


Anyway, today I did a new Yoga workout. It was an 50minutes long. It started off slow with long stretches, etc. so I was a bit bored and thinking I wasn’t going to get a workout. I was wrong :). The moves got harder and, once again, I ended my yoga workout really admiring anyone who does this on a regular basis :).
I have to share this though because it's one thing I don't understand about Yoga. Yoga is supposed to be relaxing and centering, right??? Well how am I supposed to be relaxed when I can't get through without giggling? Honestly, we were about 40 minutes into the workout and I was so proud that I was being so calm and serious....and then the instructor says "this thread the needle is a delicious way to open your hips"...that's just hysterical, so, of course, I HAD to laugh. Oh well, I guess having joy during a long workout can never really be a bad thing.


Here’s what I ate today:


Breakfast:
Fiber 1 Pancakes & light syrup- 290

Lunch:
Today I got to have lunch with my good friend Monica so we went out downtown Holland and I stuck to the tried and true burger!
1/3lb of beef- 300 (no cheese or mayo, obviously, just veggies)

6 New Roasted Potatoes- 280

Dinner:
1/3 Chicken Breast with Lemon Artichoke Pesto topping- 125
50grams Barilla Plus Pasta (the kind with 17grams of protein)- 180
Dessert: Spice Cake (made with pumpkin)- 150

Postworkout Snack: (eating it as I type actually :))
Orange- 50

TOTAL CALORIES TODAY- 1475
