Healthy Choices - 5/13, 5/12, 5/11, 5/10

I swear to someone that I am not supposed to put this post up. My computer has spazzed on me multiple times as I tried to write this. It's not bad enough that I'm 3 days late...Let's go:

5/13 Food:

B: French Toast (Wheat), Strawberries, Turkey Bacon
L: Nothing :(
D: Grilled Salmon, Asparagus, Brown Rice

5/13 Exercise: Nothing!

Comments: Carolyn's sister decided to make breakfast for Mother's Day and it ended up being made closer to lunch. Tasty, but took way too long. As a result, I didn't have an appetite for lunch. I made Mother's Day dinner for Carolyn. Lucky for me she likes to eat healthy normally. The Salmon and Asparagus had an Asian theme. Tasty and healthy...

5/12 Food:

B: Kashi Go Lean Crunch
L: Turkey and Swiss on Rye w/ Lettuce and Mayo
D: Shrimp and Clams over Pasta in a White Wine Sauce, Arugula Salad w/ Oil and Vinegar

5/12 Exercise: Nothing!

Comments: Carolyn's family came into town for Mother's Day weekend and her sister wanted to make a fancy dish for dinner. Hey, I'm not arguing. Since her parents are on a health kick as well, the meal was mostly healthy. No exercise really this weekend. Planned on doing a bike ride, but little AJ takes up a lot of time these days!

5/11 Food:

B: Kashi Go Lean Crunch
L: Spinach Calzone / Chicken & Broccoli over Pasta (& a Cherry Coke!)
D: Drawing a blank...

5/11 Exercise:

3 Sets / 15 Reps of 10 lb Arm Curls
3 Sets / 15 Reps of 10 lb Arm Lifts


Comments: Funny story for lunch...went to a local pizza joint with a co-worker and had plans to eat healthy. It's a cafeteria style place...so I got in line and ordered a nice Spinach calzone...as I move further down the line past the pizza related options, I see this chicken & broccoli pasta dish and thought, "This is healthy too. I'll get a side dish". I asked for a small plate. Apparently, a small plate could feed an army of 4 (thank goodness I didn't get the large) and I felt silly asking the owner to put it back...so I paid for $12 worth of food! To my credit, I threw most of the pasta away and focused on the chicken and broccoli only...

5/10 Food:

B: Weight Control Oatmeal
L: Sushi! (and lots of it)
D: Pulled Chicken Sandwiches on Wheat Buns w/ a Salad

5/10 Exercise:

Cardio: Elliptical Machine (11/2,14/8,16/10,14/5)
Abs: Crunch Machine (90/25, 105/15, 120/10)
Strength: Seated Press (75/20, 80/15, 85/10, 100/5)

Comments: First, I am impressed that I can remember 4 days of food and exercise with the exception of 1 meal. Funny story of the day: I've been collecting a lot of pennies over the years at my job and I decided to finally cash in. I took them all to the local Superfresh where there is a Coinstar machine and dumped them in. I had 937 pennies! After Coinstar took thier cut, I still ended up with $8.58 in credit to spend. I decided to treat myself to the deluxe sushi option they had. 8 pieces of sushi and 2 rolls....yum!

I'll stop now...I feel like I'm pressing my luck with this post....the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death" is lurking around the corner...
