Tumbling Fool

Yes!  I worked out yesterday, I was just a slacker and didn't get to post on here!

Although, I wasn't as sore after yesterdays workout with the weights as I was on Monday.

 

Today it was...

 

Yoga X!

 

 

Yoga X...

I Love you.  I really do.

You are exactly what my tired, achy, worn out body needed today.

You were relaxing, yet tough.

You worked my muscles in a different way.

I love your bending, stretching, reaching, and breathing.

 

There were times I was completely challenged.

Crane move=No way in my book.

Maybe I can work up to it???

Also, imagine an almost 2 year old going under your legs when you're doing this move.

I was working hard to keep my balance!

What the heck, even when Harvey wasn't running under my legs or around me, I was having a hard time balancing on some moves.

A recommendation...Don't do Yoga X with tennis shoes on, or socks for that matter.

I got almost all the way through it before I remembered this little tip.

It's really hard to do this pose when your sweaty socks keep making your foot slide down your leg!

HA!

So...Yes, YogaX is an hour and a half long! 

YES! 1 1/2 hours you read right.

But, I like it.

I feel I've been doing really well with my eating too.

 I've been eating lots of eggs, fruits, veggies, and just a little dairy.

 

 

This was my breakfast this morning.

 

 

Apple slices dipped in pancake batter.

 

I forgot the cinnamon and nutmeg, but it was still really good.

No butter, syrup or sweet jams needed for these babies.

They are perfectly sweet and filling all on their own.

I know it probably wasn't the lightest breakfast because the apple slices were covered with pancake batter, but I was making pancakes for the boys, (Noah's FAVORITE!), and didn't want to feel cheated out of missing some.  This made them healthier, and I didn't end up eating as many pancakes.

A tip with these, you only need a little bit of batter, and it works best if you cut the apple slices on the thin side, rather than thick.

 

Have you ever tried cottage cheese and smoked salmon?  It was heaven in my mouth today at lunch, and it was more filling than I thought it would be!  I did a 1/2 c. cottage cheese, 1 piece of smoked salmon broken a part, paprika, a dash of lemon pepper, and dill.  It was AMAZING!  I added on just a little broccoli & cauliflower as a side, and finished with a little orange.  YUMMO!

 

Last night for dinner we did tostada salads.

Corn, black beans, tomatoes, peppers, guacamole, lime, cilantro, a little hamburger made with my own seasonings and lime juice, instead of MSG full taco packets.  It was delish!  The boys devoured it and Ian raved about the hamburger!

 

I've been doing so good with not sneaking any sweets or grazing on snacks.

To curb my late night sweet tooth, watermelon has been my friend.

Although, I'm thinking of switching it to something different.  It's making me have to pee in the middle of the night!  HAHA!

 

This stuck out to me today...

 

 

Hard work on a consistent basis, and a desire to succeed!

Gotta keep with it.

Even when I'm sore.

I'll work through it.
