Manic Monday

Body:
Went with my future SIL to the gym for aerobics class! I showed her the Shred moves I do for abs after.. we ended up burning 60% from fat while doing the Shred Moves!

Mind:
I did my functional food assignment on Vitalicious VitaBrownies as a means of iron supplementing ( they provide 50% of your daily value for iron)

I returned our 2nd HD/DVR reciever to FedEx- We came back from Nana’s and got engaged, and then realized our reciever was broke! They sent a new one wednesday but that one was broken too! Then they sent another new one saturday- so we were without TV all last week- but I was so incredibly busy anyone it wasn’t much of an issue.

I worked on our presentation for tomorrows’ Metabolism Class….

Soul:
Shopping! I bought Jeff 2 new pairs of athletic shorts ( He only had 2 to begin with and even those my mom and I bought him recently! Unfortunately, a branch tore through one pair while he was riding his mt. bike.) and I bought myself a new pair as well! I really need new running shorts that don’t bunch up!! These aren’t exactly running shorts but they have crazy pockets, are dry fit, they fit really great, and they were only $8!

Breakfast:
Smoothie: Soy protein, milk, mango, papaya
banana with pb on the side
340 kcal
17g protein

I had gone to the grocery store this morning … here is most of what I got..

( I was excited about the soy milk AND the pineapple! )
I decided to cut up the pineapple immediately for snacking and for dinner and it turned into a battle. It was so juicy, the knife slipped. I walked away with a nasty cut on my thumb but …

Pineapple Defeated!

Post-Pineapple Battle Lunch:

(nibbled on Pineapple while prepping..)
Half of a chobani blueberry with Trader Joes Blueberry Museli, and a whole grain wrap with egg whites and veggies and hummus and hot sauce!

325 kcal
30g protein
1 serving of fruit , 2 servings of veggies

Snack:
Peanut Butter Gnu Bar
Cinnamon Almonds

190 kcal
Vitamin E, 8 g fiber!
The peanut butter GNU bar was definitely not my favorite. It wasn’t as “peanut buttery” as I thought it would be, so that was probably why I wasn’t thrilled about it. It was still tasty, but didn’t remind me of peanut butter.

Dinner:

I skewered some of the pineapple from earlier today and got some butterflied pork chops on sale. I marinated them in balsamic vinegar, white vinegar, some olive oil and some steak seasoning….

Jeff grilled those with pineapple chunks. I love grilled pineapple!

We also roasted brussel sprouts with some Simply Potatoes Rosemary Quartered Potatoes…

3 servings of Veggies, 1 serving of fruit!
30 g protein

…and dessert
I know its a weird combo…
Yogurt ( chobani and light and fit vanilla) with a Newman’s Own Oreo, banana and pb, and a peep.

approx. 210 kcal

I tried to eat something a little more substantial for dessert ( the yogurt and the peanut butter) but the peep made it cute. I never had any easter candy this year so I picked these up on clearance today- my easter present was wayyy better than candy!
