In my attempt to "be more like Danni" and to watch HBO series, I got up yesterday early to have enough time to hop on the elliptical before work. I am an avid Q-tip user, even if they are bad for you - but after watching yesterday's episode of Girls...I have avoided them like the plague. Sorry if that is a spoiler alert - but I was so grossed out by that episode. Eww!
Evolution was great again last night - we did a lot of running drills. That always helps break up the time and keeps your body guessing what is coming next. We also ended class with a lot of work on the barre - the legs were screaming, but now that spring is here and all the cute shorts are on sale at Old Navy, I'll be glad for those torture sessions.
I was so excited for dinner all day. I had an awesome omelet last weekend at a place called XS. It was just egg with avocado and chicken in it topped with salsa - but the combo was so good. I had some left over chicken from Monday, so I grabbed an avocado on the way home and was good to go!

Carrot Cake Smoothie
- 4 -5 baby carrots
- 2 big spoonfuls of fat free cottage cheese (could use yogurt)
- scoop of vanilla protein powder
- dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- dash of vanilla extract
- (optional) I put in a dash of Starbucks Gingerbread syrup
- ice
- almond milk or water
Do you have a favorite smoothie recipe? I think as it gets warmer, this smoothie will need to happen!
Also - I am issuing a challenge today!
Challenge #1 : Jump rope for 15 minutes! I'll be taking that on tonight. Try it with or without a rope - you may burn a bonus 100 calories!
Carrots don't grow on trees.
ReplyDeleteI was skeptical about the title of this post but that does sound good. I should totally start doing that challenge at recess! Too bad I have a meeting today - maybe tonight! I used Danni as workout motivation this week too!
