Day 4: Not as successful

In general, Sunday's are not the most productive day for me.  After going to church and eating lunch, it's usually a smooth sailing, relaxing day.  So, I must admit, I did not "workout" yesterday.  I did, however, eat 3 great meals and even grocery shopped for lots of yummy fruits & veggies from Aldi.  It was also our first day of doing our taxes, so that is enough of a mind workout. LoL.

For dinner I made an AMAZING Chicken Tortilla Soup that Rebekah w/ Tirzah Photography told me about.  You can read my blog post about that here.

Breakfast: Blueberry bagel & bananas

 Lunch: Salad topped w/ red, yellow, & orange peppers and balsamic dressings, and a bowl of oranges and strawberries! Mmmmm.  All fruits and veggies.

Dinner: Chicken Tortilla Soup topped w/ avocado, cheese, and sour cream.  Here is the recipe.

Day 1 of 10

Day 1 has come to an end.  The eating part was easy, but the work out part was, um....lets just say I waited to the last minute of the day.  Not so much because I did not want to, but because I got caught up with some photo work and I watched a documentary this afternoon ("Who killed the Electric Car").  I ended up working out around 8pm.  On Netflix I found this 38 minute workout by "SELF".  It incorporated cardio, light weights, and plyo.  I did about 30 minutes of it. :-)  Small beginnings. haha.  Needless to say, I felt it and I know I will feel it tomorrow.

What I ate today

Whole Wheat Bagel, Strawberries, & Mandrin Oranges

Pasta w/ Pesto, Pizza, & Salad w/ Balsamic Vinegar

 Soft Tacos w/ Black beans & Rice, & Strawberrys

To top it all off......Mint Chocolate Chip Icecream. :-)

How much water I drank (and a little video)

I drank about 72 ounces today.  I could have done better.  But, again, it was only Day 1.

All in all, I think Day 1 went well.  Here's to Day 2!

Breakfast for Dinner

I know, I know, it has been entirely too long since I have updated my blog. TJ and I have been busy getting a lot of things in order for Charlotte Photography & lots of photo shoots. So, basically, since life isn't going to slow down much anytime soon, I just need to schedule in blogging time. Believe it or not this is my second blog post tonight - check out my first one at Charlotte Photography's blog. I added some teaser photos from Jason & Kate's wedding.

Alrighty, so the photos below are of dinner the other night. You know those days where you absolutely do not feel like cooking a huge meal? Yeah, I know them well. On those days, breakfast is one of the best foods to make...and it's so quick. While I was cooking the eggs and french toast, I had the urge to make the table look pretty. Most of the time TJ and I always eat dinner at our coffee table - sad huh? lol. I decided to get out some of my favorite plates and bowls and make it look fun. Most of all the dishes I purchased from Value Village.
