Feelin' Good!

I’m feelin’ good for a change peeps! WOOTY WOO!!! I went to bed some time after 11PM last night (gotta get that under control), and I woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ready to get my day started! Peed (I know you wanted to know that!), washed my face, brushed my teeth, then checked the clock… 1:30AM. FAIL! Hahahaa! Needless to say, I went back to bed… tossed and turned, dreaming of vampires at McDonald’s and some other off the wall shit. LOL! Slept through the alarm, and woke up just in time for cardio. (Jenn, don’t tell the world my dirty little secret. LMAO!)

My shoulder feels pretty good. The sickies are at bay… just some minor congestion, but I think that is residual junk just clearing out. I actually took yesterday completely off… again… and boy am I glad I did! I think forcing myself to workout previous days was doing more harm than good! I thought I was listening to my body by not pushing the workouts, and despite the workouts feeling physically draining, I mustered through. Bad move on my behalf! I need to be kinder to myself. I run myself ragged, so I am constantly getting sick. Sometimes I need to just BREATHE!

After cardio this morning, I drank a tasty little Amazing Grass coffee concoction.

Coffee, Amazing Grass Superfood in Chocolate Infusion, Cookies & Cream Body Fortress Whey Protein Powder, Ice, Stevia… blended to frothy perfection. nomnomnom

I’ll be eatin’ on some broccoli florets and tuna later on. YUM! I really need to pick up some salmon pouches and grapefruits. They have been missed!

I hope your Tuesday is off to a fabulous start!

Menu Planning Monday – 03.22.10

Wednesday: Zataran’s red beans and rice (just brown rice for me), garlic chicken sausage, broccoli

Thursday: Buffalo chicken tenders, oven baked fries, side salad

Friday: Pizza!!! I will have my favorite cauliflower crust pizza, while the hubs will get to enjoy a whole wheat crust!

In other news, I totally just came clean to my coach. *sigh* I guess that’s just how I roll. Poor guy probably thinks I’m a nut case with all this falling-off-the-wagon-before-I-even-get-on-the-wagon type of behavior. LOL!

For breakfast this morning, I had a boring looking plate! It was delish, though!!

Three egg whites and one whole egg over easy, a slice of lightly toasted Ezekiel bread to sop of the yolk, and an apple for dessert! YUM! It actually tied me over to meal number two, too!

I shall dub thee Sludge Cake.

Last night I made some Amazing Grass muffins for today’s pre-workout snack. Well, my grubby little paws ate them before noon. Meal Planning #FAIL! EFFBALLS! They are good! I definitely think they can be better, but it is what it is! Next time I’ll use less grass and add in cocoa powder!

I LOVE the stuff!

Now I’m getting ready to chow down on some Chop Suey veggies drenched in spicy brown mustard! Tuna on the side! Nomnomnom!

Thanks Becca for giving me the heads up on these veggies!

I have a chest and shoulder workout schedule for this evening. I may lay low. I have a feeling my body would be mad if I lifted. :-/
