Yeah, I know -- lots of my daily meals are same old. But they're also nutritious and delicious. If I had Oprah's budget, my chef would fix up something different every night. Everyone have a great weekend.

Morning all! Woke up to snow covered car; where's Spring??? Crazy busy weekend with too much junk food around as I had 8 people over for dinner last night, and my best friend brings the best desserts... amazing!
Back to "regular" eating as I put all the sweets in baggies and either froze them or sent them home with the guest. One small piece of cake for my husband and all the other stuff is either hidden away or gone.

B: usual, greek nonfat plain yogurt w/berries and granola
L: salmon packet on chopped salad w/cucumber, red pepper and OPA Greek yogurt dressing; 1 Halo orange if interesting after lunch or before yoga
D: eating later tonight as I have yoga until 7:45 PM. My husband is joining the class, should be interesting I am having Italian Wedding Soup (homemade by me), and probably some cheese steak out of a Stromboli that I bought
S: Yasso chocolate fudge bar

Hope everyone has a great day!

HAHA so true...BUT, I thought baked sounded healthier than what this was - it was a breaded chicken thigh that was baked instead of fried in oil...but still not quite as healthy as a plain baked chicken thigh.

reba, not as unhealthy as "KFC" fried chicken and any part of the chicken from there is more unhealthy

I've been doing a bariatric yoga class on Monday nights, 1 hour, every Monday and it's changing my body shape. I feel tighter in places that used to feel more jiggly. I also find myself using the breathing techniques when I want to graze mindlessly. I think it's wonderful and I recommend yoga to all!

AMEN TO YOGA!

Eight months now I've been going to a yoga class. For something so subtle, it's amazing how life-changing it eventually becomes.

I know. That sounds like I've joined a cult.

I haven't. I can walk out any time I want. Really. I promise.

[kenson]

Yay for yoga! I started back at the gym. Why do I stop and start????? So annoying! The sore feeling feels great. Headed to the gym again today. My dance class has definitely transformed my body. I haven't lost anymore weight, but everything is "shifting!" Its snowing. I love the snow!!!
B: Special K protein cereal, milk coffee
L: PB&J sandwich 5 pineapple chunks
S: Balanced Breaks
D: 3oz. chicken and broccolli

Another plug for classes of any kind. They're wonderful social activities. For extroverts they're especially energizing. Finally, they're just a "good influence" in our lives, since they put us in close contact with others who are trying to get or stay fit. Those are the kinds of influences I want in my life these days -- not a bunch of couch potatoes.
