I went to the gym afterwards and was planned on a run and some weights but the second i started running, I realized I had drunk too much water before hand AND my knee began to hurt a little bit so I listened to my body and moved over to the arc trainer. I did 20 minutes on the arc all different levels, then 10 minutes in the step mill followed by a weight circut. I went through this twice so when I say 2 sets, I did one of everything then back around once more for a 2nd set
- 2 sets of 15 arnold presses while on bosu
- 2 sets of 15 each leg bosu lunges
- 2 sets 15 rear delt raises
- 2 sets 15 squats on bosu with 8lb med ball
- Jump rope (1 min)
- 2 sets 15 hip raises on bosu
finished up with 10 minutes on the stepmill and abs
- ball crunches (1 min)
- Bosu alternating crunches (1 min)
- toe taps (1 min)
- reverse crunches with stability ball between my legs (1 min)
- Repeat twice
Post workout snack. 1/2 C cottage cheese and serving of sea salt soy crisps for those high GI carbs!
Lunch was the usual salad that I have been craving with pumpkin spiced chickpeas
Tofu salad made with stone ground mustard, dollop of cottage cheese and sesame blend spices
Eaten around 5:00. With some cinnamon. (I am waiting for the apple cinnamon Chobani!!)

For dinner, we were both so tired, we decided to cook up a mexican dinner! (by WE I mean, I)
Sliced some peppers
Sauteed some peppers and onions
Fajita marinated chicken
- Diced chicken breast
- 1/2 packet Fajita seasoning (only used half because of the high sodium content)
- about a TBSP of Mrs Dash Mexican seasoning blend (Jason didn't even know!) but I used this to cut out some of the sodium
- Juice of 1 lime and some zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp crushed garlic
- Let it sit for 10 minutes-1 hour ( I did about 45 minutes)
- Cook in skillet till no longer pink (about 10 minutes)
Mix with the rest of the veggies ( I threw in some Broccoli rabe for me!)
Homemade Guacamole
- 2 Avocados-ripe!
- 1/2 beefsteak tomato
- juice of 1/2 lime (it was very juicy!)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Mix all around and VOILA!
The mexican feast in its entirety with low carb tortillas and a salad.
My plate. I got medium salsa instead of mild and my mouth was on FIYAHHHH
Nothing like a romantic Mexican Fiesta!

Today I had a bridal shower for Jason's brother's fiance. It was at noon. This was my first bridal shower ever! it was so nice.
Each table was given an array of mini sandwiches
Chicken salad on croissants
Crustless egg salad on white bread
Smoked salmon and cream cheese on rye (my favorite!)
Roast beef + blue cheese with romaine on the right and mushroom + cream cheese + romaine on the left.
Lots of these chocolate and white chocolate covered cashews. I had about 5.
Cake to-go! I was too full for cake at the time but I took some home for me and Jason to enjoy later. I brought raspberry and lemon and also raspberry and butter cream.
The cutest take home gifts for everyone! A 'Recipe for a happy marriage"
