Home from Arizona!

This is the one and only picture I took of Justin and I in Arizona!  I can’t believe it. I am not sure what is up with the lack of picture taking.  I am usually all over the camera!  This is us after spending the day at the Phoenix Open Golf Tournament.  We both bought fun new visors and I got a a cute t-shirt too!

I kept up with my workouts while on vacation!  It was chilly there but a A LOT warmer than here!  I ran OUTSIDE!  It felt so good!  I lifted weights and went to my very first Zumba class with my mother in law.  It was so fun!

My diet wasn’t too bad.  I didn’t stick exactly to the plan I had in my head, but I didn’t go crazy.  Justin’s Dad and Stepmom are healthy eaters so it was pretty easy to make good decisions!

We got home Monday afternoon and I went right back to my meal plan.  I had salmon and brussel sprouts for dinner.  I was up one pound Tuesday morning, but that was due to water retention, because that is already gone plus two more pounds!  Woo hoo!  I have officially lost 5 pounds in two weeks!

Yesterday was great! It felt good to be back on my eating and exercising routine.

Diet:

Meal #1: Oats with protein.  I made my protein with less water and kind of pudding-like.  It was sooo yummy!  It tasted like a no-bake cookie that isn’t set up.  In fact, I may try putting this in the fridge and seeing if I can make them into no bake cookies!

Chocolaty goodness!!

Meal #2: 2 eggs (out of egg whites), 1 slice brown rice toast – FORGOT PICTURE!

Meal #3: Tuna steak, brown rice, brussel sprouts

Meal #4: 2 eggs, 1 slice brown rice toast – FORGOT PICTURE AGAIN!

I snacked on some almonds too.  I missed TWO meals yesterday.  I feel like I ran out of time in the day.  I will get better about this.  I have to get all the food in since I am working out so much.

It snowed again last night!  I am making my way down to workout with Diana no matter what!  I missed all of last week with her due to our blizzard and then going out of town.  I am hoping by the time I have to drive downtown this morning, enough people will have driven on the roads to make them clear for me!  I HATE driving in the snow!

Time for morning cardio!
