Friday! 8/5/11

Hi there!  Sorry about the lack of post yesterday, it was a bad night/day and I was a little out of sorts.  Without going too far into it, Wednesday night my husband decided to be a royal moron and thanks to him I didn’t get any sleep and I wasn’t able to go to the gym Thursday (yesterday) morning. 

BUT time moves on and today is now FRIDAY!  I went to the gym this morning and did the following:

TIME	EXERCISE	REPS	LBS	SETS
26 MIN	C25K		N/A	1
1M	SPRINT		N/A	1
	BALL SQUAT	15	N/A	4
	PLIE SQUAT	15	N/A	3
	CALF RAISES - 3 WAYS	10 EACH	30	3

See individual exercise descriptions HERE!

Anyway, I did the C25K at a slower pace today and it was far more tolerable.  I re-read the instructions and it made a big point to not focus on speed, but distance at first… and then once you achieve the full 5K distance, then work on speed… so I shall.  I was planning to do some Elliptical at the end of this but I think I drank too much water b/c I got on there and I just felt nauseas so I didn’t stay on long at all.  I do have a LOT of work today tonight and tomorrow for my sister’s birthday celebration J so I’m confident that I’ll be doing a lot of sweating and calorie-burning! 

Last night I made a yummy Mexican feast… it was pretty much tacos/fajitas w/out tortillas lol

Recipe:

Mexi-Bowl

4 boneless/skinless tenderloins, seasoned w/ cumin, garlic powder and chili powder

1 can Black Beans

1/2 red onion, chopped small

1tbs + 2tsp (separated) EVOO

2tbs(separated) + 1tsp minced Garlic

1 bag frozen 3 pepper & onion blend (Kroger brand – love these!)

2 Whole banana peppers, seeds removed and sliced

1 tsp Cumin, separated

1 Lime

Brown Rice

½ c chopped cilantro

S&P

Pinch of Cayenne Pepper

FF Cheddar cheese and FF Sour Cream for serving

-          Grill Chicken, set aside

-          In skillet, sauté peppers & onions (add bell peppers once frozen veggies have thawed) in EVOO, 1tbs garlic, ½ tsp cumin and S&P

-          In sauce pan, cook red onion, 1tsp garlic, cumin, cayenne and S&P in 1tsp EVOO for about 5 minutes

-          Rinse and drain Black beans and add to onions and garlic to heat through

-          Cook rice, add 1tsp EVOO, 1/3 cilantro, 1tbs garlic

-          Squeeze lime juice over everything and serve in a bowl, I skipped the rice and layered as follows: Black beans, peppers & onions, chicken, FF cheddar cheese, FF sour cream, a little extra cilantro

It was yummy!!
