Today has been a pretty good day, albeit a nonproductive one. I really should have spent more time working and less time reading diet blogs. The good news is: I FINALLY got my laptop back. Lol, it sounds like it was being repaired or something...Nope...it was just at my office and I was too busy to pick it up. :)
I started the day like I always do. I woke up, had breakfast (Special K cereal), and took my kids to school. Afterward I came home, read a little of The Doctor's Diet (a book my mom lent me- more on that later), and took a shower. At 10:30am I was back at my daughter's elementary school just in time to watch her school's dance showcase. The dance was fun to watch. My six year old had a blast and while we were waiting for the rest of the grades to go on, I chatted with some fellow parents.
After the dance I walked my daughter back to her classroom. I then headed back to my car which was parked a quarter mile away (it had taken me ten minutes to find a spot that close) and then I was off to the gym.
I had a fabulous workout. I first went on the elliptical machine for 35 minutes. I busted my butt and pushed myself harder than I usually do. I followed my cardio session with 15 minutes of stretching. I then moved on to 30 minutes of strength training (arms, back, abs, legs (including calves), and butt.
After showering off and dressing in some clean clothes, I went to my six year old's aftercare to see if she wanted to be picked up earlier (which she did). I took her to my office for a little while because I had a ton of work to do. Once again, instead of getting work done, I messed around online. Over the past several weeks I have read a ton of weight loss blogs. There are a couple that I absolutely love. Now that I have my computer back I can post links to these blogs on my blog! Yay.
My daughter and I left my office at 5:00pm. I had to pick up my older daughter who was at a friend's house. Instead of driving straight to the friend's house we drove home instead, picked up the dog, and walked to the friends house. Then the dog, my two daughter's, and I had a nice walk home. It was roughly 0.75 miles round trip so it wasn't a super long walk but it was nice nonetheless. It was the perfect weather for an early evening walk...warm but not too hot.
As soon as we got home I barbecued up some steak and steamed some broccoli. I LOVE steak and i thought that I wouldn't be able to eat it anymore with my new low fat diet. But, after doing a little research, I found that there are lean cut of steaks that are low in fat. Yesterday I bought the leanest steak I could find at Trader Joe's: Top Sirloin Filets. They were delicious!! They were cooked perfectly and were super juicy. My kids said it was the best steak they ever had. The only downside was the steak was a little pricey ($10.99/lb) but it was worth it. I will definitely be buying this again.
After dinner I did the dishes, got out my laptop, updated my groups on MFP, updated my food journal on MFP, and then came on Blogger to write this post.
That's it for now... xoxo
