I’m Beat

Last night, hubby and I went for a run. It was a hot and humid 86 degrees! We ran 2.75 miles in 34:37. So yesterday I got in 3 workouts: 30 Day Shred, biked 7.27 miles, and ran 2.75 miles. I’m very proud of myself! I burned 782 calories yesterday!

I think my extra workouts over the weekend did help burn off some calories from a couple of poor eating choices because this morning I only weighed .2 more than Friday, which is still up 1.6 lbs. from weigh in day, but very manageable.

For breakfast, I had oatmeal with blackberries and a glass of milk for 7 points.

After that, I decided to get my 30 Day Shred Day 11 workout out of the way so I didn’t have to worry about it. I debated letting my body rest until tonight, but I know that I am usually very tired after work and it’s Monday—so even worse! Today was the first day of Level 2. I like the moves better on this workout but it is tougher than I remember it! Maybe it’s because I’m using weights this time. I know I didn’t give it 100% because I was sore and tired, but sweat was pouring off of me and I still burned 182 calories! I’ll take that. And it made me feel amazing. Totally worth it.

I was hungry after the workout, so I ate a banana for 0 points.

I sipped on coffee all morning for 1 point.

On my first break, I had a slice of light bread with an egg on top for 3 points.

For lunch, I had a salad made of lettuce, spinach, shrimp, feta, pecans, tomatoes and a Greek Yogurt/Mustard dressing for 6 points.

I also had a Reduced Fat crescent roll for 3 points.

I finished it up with a square of 86% dark chocolate for 2 points.

For supper, I made an egg white beaters omelet with turkey and cheese along with 2 Whole Wheat waffles topped with strawberries and SF syrup. I also drank an Ocean Spray Cran-Grape SF packet, all for a total of 10 points.

I also had a serving of vanilla ice cream with caramel on top for 5 points.

I used 4 Activity points for that—but it really hit the spot. I have earned 41 AP’s so far this week. Due to a mishap this weekend of not looking at the nutritional information at a restaurant, I ended up using too many weekly points and now I’m down to the Activity Points. Tomorrow I will try to keep it within my daily points, but honestly, I think I’m going to be ok.

I’m actually beat tonight. Hubby wants to go for a run, I told him I would see how I feel after letting supper settle and see if I feel a little more energized. After working out super hard this weekend, I feel like my body needs a bit of a rest, although I am working out everyday because of the 30 Day Shred. But today might be an easier day for me, we’ll see… I know every little bit helps!

I would be so embarrassed if I gained at my weigh in for Weight Watchers. But I’m pretty confident the scale will drop tomorrow, and my official weigh in day is on Wednesday, Weight Watchers weigh in is on Thursday. So I’ve got a few days yet!
