Hit the health food store here today, they're the only store in town that carries the hazelnut flavor of silk creamer and I love it so I'll have to make it there to stock up every couple of weeks. Anyways, I didn't find any greek yogurt, I don't know if I was just missing it or they don't carry it. So, I'll probably just stick to my dannon natural yogurt. But, I did find the high protein cereal you recommended (I got the last box so I'm thinking it must be good...LOL) and some stevia. I'm trying to get off of the "fake sugars" or chemical sugar.

Thanks for keeping things moving while I've been "indisposed". My husband took the computer in yesterday, and the guy is supposed to be calling us soon to let us know the verdict. I would love to share my recipes w/you. It's good to meet someone that cares as much as I do, and is actually willing to make things from scratch. It seems time consuming, but it becomes second nature after a while. Not to mention, that you'll be an awesome wife one day . I hope you like that cereal. I think it's really good, and the stats per serving can't be beat. Hmmm. I wonder where you can find that Greek yogurt. Do you have a Whole Foods, or Trader Joes anywhere near you?

OK, since I can't post as often as I'd like, I figure I'd share my plan for the week Mon. Full Body Tues. Cardio, Abs Wed. Full Body Thurs. Cardio, Abs Fri. Full Body Sat. off Sun. Cardio/light activity
I'm changing it up for a couple of weeks and shocking my body w/more cardio than usual, and some full body splits, versus my usual one body part per day. This will probably go on for a while, and then I'll get back to my usual workout splits, w/less cardio. My goal ultimately is to do as little cardio as possible, and still acheive max results. This has been working pretty well, I just like to change it up from time to time so I don't get bored.
Today I ate:
Kashi Go Lean Crunch w/skim milk multi & b complex vitamin water, coffee
Protein shake and apple (postworkout)
1 cup Organic Roasted Tomato and Red pepper soup 9 crackers water
kashi go lean crunch w/skim milk (again, needed a quick fix w/protein, and good fiber) water
4 oz broiled bluefish 1/2 cup steamed veggies 1/2 cup brown rice water
tentative: protein shake water

OK, I've been so bad about keeping this up, but I really need to stay accountable. Especally after the last 2 days. We had a field trip yesterday to the state capitol yesterday (which is an hour away), and then yesterday the hubby wanted to go out to eat and to the movies and all (of course I couldn't turn him down ) And although I didn't go crazy and binge on everything everywhere, I did have a cheat meal (or two). It's so different, though when I'm used to making everything myself, I can totally taste the difference in other foods. I did still workout yesterday, Legs, back & shoulders. I'll try to recap yesterday's meals: protein shake (1/2) workout: legs, shoulders, back protein shake (other 1/2) Homemade cinnamon raisin bread eggs (omega/organic egg scrambled w/veggies) apple slices coffee, 1/2&1/2, stevia vitamins, water 15 kashi TLC crackers @red Lobster: 2 cheddar bay biscuits 3 cheese sticks (i.e. cheat:) ) 1/2 blackened mahi mahi (about 3oz) 1/2 baked potato veggies 1/2 chocolate banana smoothie 1/2 salad (split everything w/DH, we're still pretty good about portion control, even when we're "splurging") 1 california roll 2 chicken wings 2 hush puppies (MIL brought us dinner from her friends restaurant that just opened:( )

How do you like the plyometrics? I saw that in the last issue of o2 but I'm always a little hesitant to try anything w/out being shown exactly how to do it.....

I've been doing it for about 1 1/2 years or so now, and I like it. Especially good for getting the heart rate up. I like doing it on cardio days to up the intensity. I originally started doing it from dvd videos that I have, so I was shown exactly how to do it. I've noticed alot of "boot camp" type workout dvds have them. Maybe try one of those at home first, until you get the hang of it... Those 10 minute solutions series dvds have them as well, I checked one out from the library before, maybe you can find one there. Then when you get used to the power movements, take it to the gym w/one like in o2.

Well, we've been SUPER broke lately, and my meals have been basically whatever I find around the house to eat (read: PB&J, tuna, etc.) But they have been within reason, as far as my cals (if anything probably lower than usual) and I've still kept up my workouts. I've still been doing full body workouts three days a week, cardio and abs on 2-3 days per week, and resting on the seventh day (pun intended). I'll try to get back to journaling regularly, and being a bit more specific about my eating and workouts, I just had to get some things straightened out around the house, and tend to some patiently waiting wifely duties
