Day 28 = Rest Day...NOT!
Today I did the TapouT XT Cardio XT and Ultimate Abs XT workouts
on this Rest Day. As I mentioned in my
previous post, I was going to do these two workouts today as I missed them
yesterday.
The Cardio XT workout requires the TapouT XT weighted gloves,
gloves that I don’t have but I did find the other weighted gloves that I had
already owned. I put them on for today’s
workout and WOW what a difference! It
felt great to wear them but even better when I was able to take them off at the
end of the workout. This first time I
did this workout, my calves were killing me that same day and for days
afterwards. Well my calves feel fine now
and I’m sure they will be feeling fine tomorrow as well. That’s a good thing because Plyo XT is up on
the schedule for tomorrow.
Before my workout this morning I made up some Banana Pancakes that
I saw online the other day. These
pancakes only have two ingredients…
1 banana
2 egg whites
That’s it, that’s all!
If you wanted to, you could add some vanilla extract, but I
didn’t. I may try them again tomorrow
and add the vanilla in and maybe some cinnamon too.
Mix the ingredients in a food processor until blended and then
pour some batter into a heated pan. Cook
until they bubble and then flip over.
Remove from pan and enjoy. I
added a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
The pancakes – 139 calories for a serving of 4 pancakes with added
maple syrup - added only 52 calories.
Today’s food…
Breakfast: Banana Pancakes/Blackberries/Kashi Go
Lean Crunch Cereal
Since the pancakes were low in calories I also added some fruit
and some cereal without milk.
Snack: Turkey
This came after my workout.
I made some breakfast for the rest of my family and I cooked up an extra
2 slices of turkey bacon for myself.
Lunch: Roasted Chicken/Homemade Sweet Potato
Fries/Homemade Garlic Bread
We had leftovers from last night’s late dinner. My son brought home a recipe to make garlic
bread, so we made it up last night for dinner.
He did a great job of making the bread.
Snack: Mini Banana Sorbet Bars
Dinner:
Protein Shake/ Broccoli Coleslaw with a Fat Free Dressing
I didn’t feel that hungry
tonight so I just made up a protein shake but only drank half of it. I then went out to get groceries and when I
came back I ate the coleslaw because I was feeling hungry then.
Snack: Dark
Chocolate Mint Chocolate
A little treat while writing
to you.
I should be in bed already
but I wanted to stay on track with my TapouT XT posts. Before I go, I want to tell you about
something that I seen while in the grocery store tonight. So many people struggle with cutting certain
things out of their daily diet, and I totally understand that and this WAS one
of them for me…
BUT…I am proud to say that I
was not even tempted by this product at all.
It has been well over a year since I drank a Diet Pepsi or any kind of
pop whatsoever (the exception of having some in a mixed drink, last summer over
my birthday weekend). I am so glad and
proud of myself for overcoming this habit of drinking diet pop. If I can do it, so can you! Now I just have to work on my chocolate
addiction. LOL
Well I’m going to bed now…Plyo
XT in the morning.
Until then…Stay Strong!
Good night
Trina
