We both got home late last night so we didn't get to cook dinner. We both made a tuna fish salad with vegetables. Ryan had his on a rice cake and I stuffed mine in a cooked portobello mushroom. Normally, we would have stopped for a slice of pizza at the restaurant next to St. Francis College so this was a big improvement for both of us! We brought our own kettle corn popcorn to snack on during the game and my only weakness when we got home was I had a Gluten Free Brownie leftover from Wednesday night's batch. They're too good to resist and I can't let Ryan eat all of them!
Today is my last day on the Advocare 10-Day Cleanse. Tomorrow I go back to the trim line (this would be the max phase of the 24 day challenge after having done a 10 day clean phase). I feel good. I am glad I did a quick cleanse to start the New Year to clean my system of the holiday food and treats and to get me to focus on gluten free and clean eating.
Friday, January 10th 7:15am w/Anna T.
Warm-up and Arms
Thigh
Seat
Abs
Back Dancing
Final stretch
I left after the abs stretch before back dancing so I could shower and get to work on time since I took a later class, but I am glad I left because I heard "fold your mat in thirds and lay all the way back." My thighs shook as I walked out of class thinking about how sore they are from using a ball and mat every Bar class since the New Year.
It was a wintry mix of rain, sleet, hail and snow on my commute today so I wanted something warm for breakfast. It's the first working Friday of the month so it is bagel Friday! There were tempting Essa-Bagels all over the office. I don't crave bagels with cream cheese, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Essa-Bagel. I grew up eating them with my family - we would get a dozen bagels fresh out of the oven on Saturday mornings before we drove to Fire Island and on Christmas morning, my mom and I would go to the Rockefeller Christmas Tree at 5am before anyone else was awake and get Essa-Bagels for breakfast on our way home. Rather than cave in and have a warm, over-sized bagel with chocolate chip cream cheese (my mouth is watering as I type), I got a Cinnamon Roll Quest Bar (4 WW Points) and heated it in the microwave. It smelt like a fresh cinnamon roll right out of the oven. I ate this with an apple and was full until lunch!
Ryan made a juice at home: Orange, Apple, Beet
Tonight I am going out for my coworkers birthday! Stephenie and I have become close since she started working here and I am excited to celebrate with her and a few other friends. I think she said they were ordering pizza for dinner so hopefully I can find something gluten free to order or at least a salad. I am packing a Coconut Cashew Quest Bar in my bag for emergency!
It's supposed to warm up this weekend and Ryan and I are going to view an apartment in Park Slope and then go to the NYU vs. Brandies basketball game. I will hopefully go to Bar Method on Sunday morning - tomorrow just seems too busy to squeeze in my usual 8:30am morning class and be able to come home, eat breakfast, view an apartment and go to the game within a few hours of each other! I might take the day off. This week seems to be my "every other day" schedule which is okay with me - I just miss class!
Have a great Friday everyone!
XO
