For all the Biggest Loser fans out there….what did you think about poor Kristen? I felt SO bad that she not only didn’t get under 300lbs, but that she gained some weight. That must’ve been devastating for her! Ahhh….
I ate 4 medjool dates before my trip to the gym today. All of them even make it into the picture today!! :)
Instead of running today, I decided to do something different. Here’s how it went; 30 minutes on the elliptical, 10 on the stair climber, 10 on the bike. Holy crap was I ever a sweaty MESS after that 50 minutes workout! And here I was worried that it wouldn’t be as productive as a run!!! Just take a look at my stats. I was very impressed with myself!
Time: 52:00 minutes
Avg HR: 166
Max HR: 178
Calories Burned: 498
I still can’t believe how many calories I sweat out! WAHOO! The break down was 280 calories on the elliptical, 105 on the stair climber, 113 on the bike. Needless to say, I needed something to eat FAST because by the time I got back to my desk, I was shaking pretty bad! I decided to break out this bad boy;
I made the same wrap for lunch today as I ate yesterday. Sorry for the receptiveness, but it was so good that I couldn’t resist! Mortadella is by far my favourite lunch meat….the lean stuff, of course! Here she be!
-Sabra hummus
-3 slices lean mortadella
-1 slice “light” Swiss cheese
-lots of green stuff
Great lunch, I tell ya!!
The afternoon was spent plowing through paperwork. We have a holiday this Monday here in Canada and as much as I look forward to it, it falls smack in the middle of our pay cycle which means I will likely be doing O/T again. The way the current economy is, I’m certainly not ungrateful for the work, it just means busyness again.
I actually had time to make a delicious dinner tonight! We had pork tenderloin, sweet potato fries (cut up with my new Pampered Chef crinkle cutter!) and steamed veggies.

DD and will be off to the pool shortly for her swimming lesson. I bought this month's issue of the Clean Eating magazine to read while I'm there. I've flipped through it already and there seems to be a lot of tasty looking recipes to check out! I'm sure I'll have the munchies later because we ate dinner a little earlier tonight, so I've already prepared a nice bowl of blueberries and strawberries to eat.
Bye for now!!
