Exercise: 80 minutes of cardio, 35 minutes of abs (I am telling you check out Jillian Michael's book (below)) Her exercises are awesome!!!! I am so sore after doing them.

Brunch: Grilled cheese on Wegman's lite bread, starbucks iced skim white mocha

snack: marcona almonds and babybell cheese
Dinner: will be Bruchetta Chicken in the Crockpot with green beans (recipe in cooking blog)
Im sure I will eat more roasted pears from last night (recipe in cooking blog)

turkey burgers

So, today was a double workout day! One workout in the a.m. (shoulders, triceps, 85 minutes cardio) and one in the evenining (20 minutes cardio, abs) this maximizes metabolism. I drank about 100 oz of water (mainly because I am planning on drinking some wine tonight!

So I had a hankering for a turkey burger tonight, so I love shady brook farms turkey burgers, grilled in the pan, with american cheese, ketchup and homemade basil aoli (pesto and garlic mayo) on an english muffin, with what else but green beans!!!!

Thank god for Costco!

So I have professed my love for Costco many many times, but I love them again and I am not afraid to say it! I bought a great chicken sausage from there, with sundried tomatoes, mozzerella and basil. It was delicious! I cooked it in a pan with a little water (and then browned it) and served it with Healthy Harvest whole wheat pasta and vodka sauce (also both bought at Costco) and hubby really like it (and so did I)!!!

Jillian Michaels is god!!!

I just bought her book, Making the Cut. I love it---it has great recipes, and exercises!

OK, I am very lax in updating...it is because i am eating total $hit this week! Today is a new start! I am back on the healthy wagon! Last night was girls night and I ate so much junk! I did eat some veggies and spinach dip, but it was ridiculous! It was like the night before a junkie goes to rehab--only I just know I am back on the healthy diet. I am going to have a Starbux white mocha, but I did do an hour of lifting and 80 minutes of cardio---other than that it has been pretty healthy. I actually have not eaten much because Im still full from last night---yes I ate that much! Ill post later with my food.
