Where was I??

Ok so I realize I missed Friday and today so I will try and catch up right now.

Friday morning I was running late as usual and no egg muffins premade so I quickly scrambled 3 eggs and threw them on the stove with some spinach and salsa and ate in the car on the way to work.

Lunch: leftover salmon from last night and the remainder of my braised cabbage with you guessed it - bacon!

Dinner on Fridays is cheat meal because my daughter has gymnastics until 6pm and it is too late to eat by the time we get home. We decided to go to the new burger place in Deerfoot Meadows called 5 guys. Holy it was packed!! Having never been before I ordered a regular burger loaded for myself and two "little" ones for the kids. WELL a regular burger was 2 patties and was so huge I seriously couldn't get my mouth around it. I removed the bun but wow it was super messy, but delicious and I did manage to eat the whole thing - yikes! I would strongly suggest if you go just to get the little burger. I did have a couple of fries - :(

Again no workout today as I still wasn't feeling great and also ran out of time.

Today - Saturday

Breakfast: Made the kids paleo pancakes, scrambled eggs, sliced apple with greek yogurt with honey for dipping in. They ate it all - wow! Myself wasn't feeling the pancake so just had the usual scrambled eggs - Somehow I never get tired of them.

The kids have swimming lessons on Saturday mornings so we are up and out early. They truly amaze me at how good they are getting. I remember the day when both of them would not put their face in the water and now they are jumping and diving for rings. Amazing.

Workout: Saturdays are what are called "tester" days so we sort of compete against each other on our blog and usually compare a workout to one we have done previously. Here's what we had to do:
Perform the following movements, in order, for max reps (or calories), resting exactly 60 seconds between each station:-
4 Minute Row (for Calories)-
3 Minutes of Pull-Ups-
2 Minutes of Bodyweight Back Squat (3/4 BWT for females)-
1 Minute of 135/95 lb. Push Press or Jerk

post total points (cals + reps + reps + reps)
We did this one a while back so I had something to compare it to and it is good to have something to strive for and try and beat.
64 calories row vs 60 last time
50 pullups vs 45 last time
35 squats vs 32
11 push press vs 6 last time
This was hard but I did ok
So my score this time was 160 vs 143
I am quite happy with this improvement since my training has not been stellar lately and I am battling a shoulder injury which has forced me to change the way I do my pullups and I am having a hard time getting used to it.

I had to go to southcentre to return some stuff so I grabbed lunch there. Wait not a cheat - went to OPA had the #8 which is a low carb plate of lamb and chicken souvlaki and a greek salad. It was yummy.

Dinner tonight some chicken and steamed veggies, nothing fancy.

I am very proud of all of you and how well you are doing. I have received stats from Karmen and am expecting some more soon... Keep up the good work and I will see you all Tuesday, we will talk about the whys of what are doing, and then I will give you some "weight loss" secrets if that is one of your goals to maybe help kickstart you. Bonita thanks for holding my accountable and kicking my butt to get my post up!! I appreciate it and nice work on the shrimp, I will have to check that out and create a link for everyone.
