I completely fell asleep last night without writing my blog. I was wiped. Yesterday was Plyo and it was kind of weird. I burned 568 calories, when last week I burned 600 calories. But even though I burned less, I felt I did more of the exercises correctly. I think I just was a little slower and more intentional. So intentional, that I couldn't get myself off the floor when it was over. I worked super hard. I had to ice my knees, my back and take a bath with epsom salt. It was that bad, but I felt good. So bizarre and not normal for me. It's amazing how much this system makes me try harder than I ever thought I could.
In terms of food and meal plan, I stayed on track. I made yummy strawberry pancakes for breakfast. Usually I have chocolate chip pancakes, but I wasn't willing to add the chocolate and then have nothing left over at the end of the day. For lunch I had a delicious Subway Turkey and Black Forest ham sandwich. It was only 280 calories. And then for dinner we had chili. It was 400 calories and it was really hard for me to not put sour cream and cheese on it. It didn't help that my hubby made it pretty spicy. But again, the extra calories just aren't worth it for me right now.
Today for exercise it was Shoulders and Arms. It was kind of an off day. I had church this morning, then we came home, had lunch and I helped my daughter with her homework. I then felt a nap coming on, so I laid down for 30 minutes and took a good nap. When I woke up it was time to get dinner going. So, by the time I got exercising it was almost 5. Then I had a lot of interruptions. It was really tempting to just say, "Oh well, it's too late today. I'll just not work out today." But once I got going I was good and I worked hard. I did 6 V up/Roll ups on the Ab Ripper X. One more than last time and I was able to do 5 on each leg of the leg up sit ups...or something like that. One thing I noticed this morning is I wasn't that sore. I usually wake up after plyo and I can hardly get out of bed, or my body is just really tight. But when I got up I was tight, but not too bad and by the late morning I wasn't feeling anything.
Food today, was again, pretty easy. I had Starbucks for breakfast, I had their Egg Sandwich with Bacon and Gouda along with a skinny vanilla latte. It's only 320 calories, but a Skinny vanilla latte is 90 calories. I made a tuna melt for lunch and a spinach salad with balsamic vinegar. And dinner was way yummy. We made Melissa D'Arabian's Stuffed Bell Peppers. She is from Ten Dollar Dinners on the Food Network and we love her recipes. Instead of Bulgar I used quinoa since it has more protein and I didn't use meat because I try and make one meal a week for dinner, meatless. It is really tasty and filling. Since dinner was 250 calories I decided I deserved a treat. So I made a banana split. Yummo! I still have 90 left. But I think I'm good.
I still can't tell if I'm losing weight. I was 164 this morning, but like I've said before, I'm not going to get excited until I am under 165 for a few days in a row. If I am 164 tomorrow morning, then I can safely say I've lost 3 pounds. I'll keep you posted. Til tomorrow.
