This morning I decided to get up and do my cardio first... by cleaning my house and doing all the laundry. It took me almost 3 hours and as long as I focused, I was able to keep my heart rate elevated. I felt much more accomplished with a clean home at the end too!
I only watch one kid for my daycare on Friday and she ended up being sick so I ended up having a free day also. So once I was done with the house, we headed to the gym. :) I am pleased to say, my body is started to get used to the daily beatings ive Been throwing at it.I got my workout done, then we went to meet daddy for lunch! I should've thought ahead and brought my lunch. Watching my girls pick at hot dogs drowning in ketchup and relish, and the hubs endulge in a smothered burrito and chips and salsa was HARD!! It looked and smelled so good!! It was almost too much for me to handle. But I did it!
I get a cheat meal once a week. I can pick the day and it can be anything as long as it stays in my calories allotment. Well after watching that lunch I thought today might be that day! When hubs got home from work he announced he wanted pizza. DING!!! Of course! I can make cauliflower crust pizza and enjoy my cheat meal! So that's what I did!
Oh how I love cauliflower pizza! And my hubs even prefers it to any other! But here's the great thing, with my recipe and toppings, an entire pizza is only 500 calories!! Incredible! I can only eat a quarter of one before I'm full, So I decided to be crazy, and add a dessert! I got skinny cow caramel truffle ice cream bars. These things are AMAZING!! totally satisfied my sweet tooth and it only has 100 calories. I ended up staying under my cheat meal calories allowance. How awesome us that!? I'm so excited to plan next weeks cheat and to include another skinny cow bar! Yummy!
Tomorrow is my last workout this week, then I get Sunday off. Hallelujah! I am excited to rest and hopefully let my body recover a lot more. Week 1 is so close to coming to a close! I hope it all goes this fast!
It would be far easier to lose weight permanently if replacement parts weren't so handy in the refrigerator.
