Happy Hump (Wednesday) Day, Bloggers… I will be so happy for Friday this week!
The past couple days have been going well at the gym… lots of running and strength training. I’m meeting with my trainer today, I’m nervous b/c I’ve been slacking on our appointments and haven’t seen him in months, wish me luck! I’m a little nervous too b/c I’ve been noticing my knee starting to hurt quite a bit lately.
Any words of advice out there? … It’s never hurt before, I’m bummed I may have unknown knee issues… that won’t be good for training!
Yesterday for breakfast I decided to check out the smoothie craze that I’ve seen all over the blogs… here is what mine included: 1 handful of ice, 1/2 cup skim-milk, 1 banana, 1/2 cup frozen berries, 2 handfuls of spinach and 1 spoonful of flax seeds… it looked pretty before…
but not so much after (haha, it was brown!), but it still tasted very good! I paired it with a whole grain & raisin english muffin for a great breakfast.
I’ve been doing good on lunch too… but nothing exciting, just some carrots, pinapple and a turkey/spinach wrap!
Two nights ago I decided to try something new… you may like this if you like black bean burgers. Have you seen the new commercials for McDonald’s Big Mac wrap? Yes, I’m talking about a Big Mac. Well, I came up with a “healthy” version!
Only 250 calories…
I heated up a black bean burger, and with it I added Fat Free Thousand Island dressing, fat free cheese, pickles, spinach and onions to a whole wheat tortilla= pretty good!… It will be better once I get used to the taste of the black bean burgers.
Last night’s dinner was better, I made two different types of “pizza”. The first was just spinach and a light Laughing Cow Swiss cheese on a heated tortilla (100 calories) and the second was chicken, bbq sauce, fat free mozz. cheese, and red onion on a tortilla (200 calories). Both were very good… I just have to remember to not warm the tortillas to much! Hehe.
Thats all for now, off to meet the trainer! :-O
