Week 4: Day 4

I feel like today was another rest day. It was the X Stretch dvd. I had not done it before. On my rest days I always forgot to put it in and try it out. I enjoyed it. But I'm a bit fearful of gaining the weight I lost. It just feels weird to be resting again. If I can keep up with my 1500 calorie intake I should be ok. I weighed in this morning and was still down 5 pounds. Whew.

My food intake was pretty normal. I was feeling pretty wiped from our busy weekend. I made the kids and myself pancakes, so again instead of adding chocolate chips like I have in the past I added strawberries. I didn't have protein though. =( For lunch I wasn't very hungry so I had a chiobani yogurt. And later for my snack I had a small bowl of Cheez-its with milk. I think having a lot of comfort food this week made me crave my old snacks. So, it wasn't the best choice, but it was low calorie and not the worst thing ever too. For dinner I made a delicious Pineapple-Teriyaki Chicken recipe from  Eatingwell.com. http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/pineapple_teriyaki_
It was low in sodium and calories and really tasty. I added a half cup of brown rice and broccoli. It was very satisfying.

Tomorrow will be another day of "how do I fit in exercise?" We have our niece here on top of my daughter having a broken wrist. We are going to get her cast put on tomorrow and after that I am hoping to take the kids to a museum. We will be gone from morning til the dinner hour. So I will probably have to do Core Synergistics in the am. That is not fun, but it's probably better than doing it at 8:00 at night. Only 2 more days til week 4 is complete and I will be measuring. I'm kind of excited about that and kind of nervous. Til tomorrow.
