I faced a period of time last week where I had to come to grips with the harsh reality that sometimes your time is not your own. My husband had his wisdom teeth removed on Thursday and I rushed into town Friday for my sisters graduation from nursing school. I was at first disappointed with the missed opportunities to work out but then felt thankful that I had the opportunity to work out every day for the past 6 weeks and was blessed with a wonderful family that I had the privilege to take care of and be there for. I was so proud of my sister!
Here are some pictures from this weekend.
We ate at Babe's chicken for her celebratory lunch. I had packed my food for the weekend before I left Austin but was able to eat dry iceberg lettuce and roasted chicken.
I plan to have an amazing, however very busy week. I am aiming to cut my calorie intake and increase the amount of cardio I am doing to challenge myself. I went to Ross today and bought 2 pairs of size 2 jeans for cheap so that I had clothes to wear. I was so thrilled to not only fit in a size 2 but be able to fit into a size 2 from 3 different designers. I guess I can officially say I am a size 2. :)
Oh and BIG NEWS!!! I found my suit! Here is a sneak peak. I honestly own nothing pink so I was surprised that I picked this one.
I was talking with Nicole, my trainer, about how to increase my vegetable intake in the evening but still keep it low carb. As much as I loved the spaghetti squash and green beans I had been eating last week, they were really high in carbs and sugar. She said to stick to spinach, broccoli and asparagus at night. I took her literally and came up with this Mean Green Veggie Machine dish. I some how created a delicious veggie dish that is only 100 calories and 21 g protein!! So I am not sure what to pair it with since I really do not need anymore protein. I might just be eating this as my last meal, I wanted to cut calories. :)
4 c. Broccoli
6 c. Spinach
2 bunches Asparagus
1 c. Fat Free Cottage Cheese
