26 AugWawhoooo! Endorphins Rock!

The funny thing about exercise is if you exercise it’ll make you feel good. That pre-workout feeling of sluggishness goes away about half way through the workout. Endorphins kick in and you think to yourself “Why didn’t I do this earlier?”

Today, I worked out for 1 hour on the elliptical machine. Even better, was that I had new music to listen to. I got tired of the old tunes and they were not rocking enough for me to keep me motivated. This morning before heading to the gym I added a whole bunch of music to my shuffle. Dan found me a bunch of songs, too. Thank you!! :) One thing I have to check out is why my toes start to fall a sleep after a while on the machine. I’ll have to ask some one at the help desk the next time I go in. Total Calories burned was 606, average heart rate was 154, max heart rate was 169.

On to meals for the day.

Breakfast was scrambled eggs (Daniel loves these, too :) ) and a deli flat bread.

Lunch was late, since I didn’t get home from the gym until well after 1. It was reduced-fat cheese stick, 5 rosemary triscuits, wallaby yogurt (it’s a new brand), slice of filet (super yummy) and half of a deli flat bread slice with dark chocolate pb.

Dinner was nice and healthy. Dan cooked the Perdue Perfect Portion chicken on the grill that was topped with a Curry sauce. Sides were steamed broccoli that Dan said couldn’t possibly be healthy and corn on the cob. Great addition to flavor for the broccoli and corn was “I can’t Believe it’s not Butter spray. Tastes like butter, but without the fat and calories. Plus, it’s pretty easy to spray corn instead of trying to spread butter on it with a knife. The broccoli in the bag that I bought from Trader Joe’s was awesome. Just throw it in the microwave to steam. I had to show Dan the bag because he didn’t believe me as to how low calorie it was.

On the whole, today was a great day. Meals were good and I worked out. What more could I want? Next goal is to start a new category on here and log meals with calorie amounts, food group, etc. Maybe I can work on that tomorrow while Daniel takes a nap.

Off to bed I go….
