Snooze, snooze, snoooozzzze...yup I stayed in bed this morning. My daughter had a sleep over in her brother's room last night and it was WONDERFUL! After my husband got up, I had the bed to myself, so I decided to stay in bed. It was SO nice!
Once I got up, I went in the bathroom and looked at my HRM, it read, REST DAY...I must have seen the future...lol.
Today's food...
Breakfast: Tropical Yogurt Swirl
This one is from the Brazil Butt Lift Fat Burning Foods booklet.
It is a mix of plain fat free greek yogurt(I guess you could use regular FF Plain yogurt), unsweetened shredded coconut, mango and 1/2 scoop of low sugar protein powder.
This is one, I would definitely eat again.
Snack: Watermelon with a Cheese String
I cut the cheese string up and mixed it in with the watermelon. Just to be different.
Different is good, RIGHT?
Lunch: Salmon with Broccoli
So good...even if it is leftovers.
Salmon always = Delicious!
Snack: Frozen Kiwi Claus Shake with Raspberries and Slivered Almonds
Okay so this was another one of my creative creations. The other week when I made up the Kiwi Claus Shake, I didn't drink the whole shake, I put some of it in a dish and placed it in the freezer. So today, because it was quite hot here, I looked in the freezer to see if there was anything to cool me down. I found the dish with the Kiwi Claus Shake in it. I placed the frozen disc-like shake in a dish and then topped it off with raspberries and slivered almonds...Yum yum.
Dinner: Portobello Mushroom Bake with Quinoa
A meal from the Brazil Butt Lift Fat-Burning Foods booklet(sort of). As you know I like to change this up from time to time. It was supposed to be served with couscous and sauteed spinach, but I just opted for quinoa and no spinach tonight.
And why do I change things up from time to time???
Because I sometimes don't have all the ingredients in house so I make substitutions.
And...well sometimes I just feel lazy.
Tonight was a bit of both.
So I told you at the beginning of this post that it was Rest Day. A Rest Day only from the brain of my HRM, but Leandro had other plans for me. He wanted me to shake my Bum Bum(Booty). And that is exactly what I did. Because I had stayed in bed this morning, that forced me to do my workout later in the day. After the last daycare child had gone home, I cut the grass out the back, put the sprinkler on for my kids to play in, and I loaded the DVD player and hit play. Bum Bum time!(Remember this is pronounced Boom Boom and not Bum as in your A$$) I always feel a bit silly when I type that...Bum Bum...LOL.
Okay so TOMORROW Leandro has me resting on a scheduled rest day...we shall see what tomorrow brings.
Until then...Stay Strong!
Good night

The portobella bake looks fantastic - care to share the recipe for the mushrooms in that one? I might try it during my week off between BR challenges!
ReplyDeleteHi Joann,
DeleteThe Portobello Mushroom Bake is just 2 portobello mushroom caps brushed with a tsp of olive oil and grilled for about 6 minutes each side, sprinkle with a bit of sea salt. Once they are grilled, spoon about 2-4 tablespoons of tomato sauce between the two of them. Sprinkle about 1oz of low fat mozzarella cheese on the top and bake until melted. I served mine with Quinoa rather than couscous. They were so good, I will definitely be having them again. When I do, I will post the recipe on my blog post for that day. Maybe some time over the next couple weeks.
Enjoy!
Stay Strong!
