Let’s Get Caught Up

There is a lot of food prep going on in my kitchen today… so while I am waiting for some cooked cauliflower to cool enough for me to wring all the moisture out of so I can make some Low Carb Tortillas, I am enjoying a cup of coffee.  Won’t you join me, and we can get caught up?

I have had a pretty good week.  I am still working the 21 Day Fix food plan and did quite well following it until Valentine’s Day.  Yes, I cheated with black beer (nope not gluten-free and it was delicious), some dark chocolate and some red wine, too.  Lovely.  And I had a good week of workouts, too.  Along with walking, and running, I did a few of the 21 Day Fix workouts… Yoga Fix, Upper Fix, Lower Fix, and Pilates Fix.  I haven’t done the cardio workouts… if I am doing cardio I would rather be running.  I have enjoyed these Fix workouts though and find them quite challenging. 

So today I am back on plan.

I made some sweet potato waffles for breakfast and topped them with strawberries and hemp seeds.  Mmmmm…

Then we went for a long, 75 minute walk along the waterfront in the sunshine.  There are flowers blooming everywhere and there were lots of dogs to visit with along the way.  When we got home, my FitBit informed me that I am only 1500 steps away from my goal of 10,000… and that was before lunch!

So, now I am in the kitchen.  I made up some Asian Beef Slaw, portioned it out and froze it.  And my Low Carb Tortillas will go into the freezer too. I love to have them on hand for sandwiches, and I think I will try using them as pizza crusts later this week as well.

And I need a manicure. All this work in the kitchen has ruined my nail polish!

What are you up to today?  Anything new and exciting in your world? Did you have a good week, too?

    My week went pretty good although I felt like my eating was not very good.. all the chocolates and cake at work last week. EEK! I am hoping I do better this week especially with eating my vegetables.
    Nothing too exciting going on here, the kids are out of school today and seem to be fighting a lot.. I think we are going to go out and burn off some energy here shortly.

    My hands are dried out and I need to wear gloves. I think I wash them too much. I make cauliflower pizza crust and it is SOOOO good! 75 minutes of walking sounds like you really got the time in as well as the steps! How many steps was that if you know?

    I did 21 day fix last summer and actually really liked it! I am doing weight watchers now but if I Wasn't I'd totally follow the eating plan for 21DF. PS - whats the recipe for those waffles?!

    We have been home all day since all of Nashville is pretty much shut down because of the weather right now. I have an upper respiratory infection, so got nothing accomplished today at all!

    A 75 minute walk in the sunshine sounds blissful (as there is snow outside my window and the temperatures tomorrow are forecast to be below zero). I had a bit of a cold last week that sidelined my plans, but am on plan this week with my running and trx/tabata circuits!
