I also had a great workout this morning! I was inspired by my fellow bloggers to try the Body For Life style workouts. It seems like a killer workout, so I created my own (with the inspiration of this mover)

This was an AWESOME workout. I think I may be hooked!!
S'mores coffee was awaiting my arrival home!
- 1/2 C oats cooked in water
- 1 TBSP chia seeds
- Frozen berries added at the end
- 1/4 C eggwhites mixed in
Cottage cheese and some Strawberry Activia. So good! I missed my oats!
Lunch was a sweet and savory combo! Deli thin, half and half style
Half sweet with Justins PB, Raspberry jam and raisins
Half savory with a Laughing Cow wedge and low sodium turkey breast!
Dessert was 1/2 Archer farms strawberry cheesecake yogurt
Just when you thought I was sick of cereal...Shredded spoonfuls and Kashi Honey Sunshine
Mid Afternoon snack was 1/4 C oats cooked in water with blueberries and 6oz greek yogurt. I also had an unpictured apple.
Dinner was chicken noodle soup! (cage free and organic from Whole Foods)
SALAD! Oh how I missed my greens. I didn't have too much because I want to ease the roughage back in slowly.
My dinner was somewhat of a repeat of lunch. Deli thin with turkey breast and spinach
With Jusins PB and raisins.
Some extra turkey wrapped around a kosher dill!
I got an amazing package from Marx foods
This company is known for their HUGE variety of dried mushrooms, chili peppers, grains, salts, cheeses and so much more. I recieved about 8 samples of dried mushrooms and chili peppers
Dried Morel Mushrooms
They looked like little honey combs, but smelled SO good! I can't wait to cook with these!
Thai Chilies. These are HOT. They even smelled hot, if thats possible
Ole!

I am currently watching American Idol and may or may not be having a bowl of cereal...
- Do any of you who have a MAC use ECTO? I don't use it but heard great things about it and want to use it. It says I can download it, however then it says I need to purchase it? Does anyone know anything more about this? PLEASE email me at Onefitfoodie (at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks!
I will leave you all with a great workout you can print out and take with you to the gym! It hits every body part meaning it is a full body workout with plenty of cardio snuck in there. ENJOY!

- Do you have any "food eccentricities"? For me, if my food is supposed to be hot, it needs to be STEAMING hot. If it is cold, it needs to be extremely cold. My friend in college had a food eccentricity where she didn't let any food on her plate touch each other!
- Favorite form of exercise these days?
- Do you have any questions for me??
