Today was good. Since we're in the Recovery Week, I think today was supposed to be Yoga...but since I did Yoga yesterday, I am skipping it for today and just doing my normal classes at the gym. (45 min. step & 45 min. interval training). For those 2 classes I burned 712 calories. It was SO hot in the gym today, as it always is when the temperatures around here start rising. Even though I hate being that hot, it does help me burn some extra calories, which is always a good thing! I ate pretty good all day. Started out with some Kashi oatmeal, had a protien bar and fruit on the way home from my work outs. Snacked on some left over steamed veggies and 1/2 a baked chicken breast at 3 pm and then for dinner Matt grilled turkey burgers. We didn't have any buns so we just at them like a steak with sauteed onions on top! YUM! I also made zuchhini fries and we had some applesauce with it all. Later in the evening everyone wanted an "oreo shake" again. This time I made mine seperate from everyone elses. I used crushed ice, 1/2 c. skim milk and my cookies-n-cream protien powder (1 scoop). Then instead of throwing in oreos, I took 1 oreo apart, took out all the cream, crushed up the 2 chocolate cookies and sprinkled that on top. It wasn't NEARLY as good as the other night...but still, I felt like I had a treat and it was probably more like 150 calories instead of like 350 the other night.

Great Job Jen!!!!
You had your "treat" but you made it a healthier version. I'm proud of ya girl!
Sounds like you had a GREAT day!
Just out of curiosity, how many calories do you think you have on average, how about your hubby Matt? As we get ready to move into phase 2 I'm debating on whether my wife and I should change the diet slightly adding another carb and fruit while taking away a protein, or if we should just stay in phase 1??? I still have like 10 pounds around the middle that I want to shed and the worry is if I am taking in even more carb that it's going to be harder to take off.
Thanks so much Jen! You'll be there before you know it!!
