I Miss It…

I didn’t realize how much I missed jogging until I was in the park ayer. I used to jog every morning when I lived by the beach, either on the sand or the boardwalk. I loved feeding off the energy of the other people; we were in “secret” club and it was an unspoken unity. When I moved to my new apartment, I continued to jog but on the street and it aggravated my foot and I got Plantar Fasciitis so I had to stop for a bit; I think I went too hard too fast. This summer I started up again but stopped after a bit, and I couldn’t quite figure it out but I think it was the fact that I was running alone at 6:30 am by houses and not much scenery. I missed the sunrise, sand, and the waves from the beach and also the camaraderie. Ayer when I was in the park, I felt alive again…I kept saying good morning and smiling at the other early birds. It sucks that I discovered this, so late in the year (colder weather) but I can not wait to get out in the park and start jogging. I was thinking of going this morning but it was so dark and I am not sure how many people are out there at that time. I want to jog but I want to be smart about it. I spoke to my cousin and she said she would train with me for the 5K but after the new year…

Eats

Ayer for Lunch I had WW Pasta with Mushrooms, Onions, and Peppers, in PB, Sesame Teriyaki Sauce, and Chili Bean Sauce

 

For Dessert I had “cookie dough”

 

For din din I made my dad’s famous sandwich with Swiss cheese, Ham, WW White Bread with little of bit of butter, 2 slices of Tomato, and Ketchup (and more “cookie dough” for dessert)

This morning I did not workout, I was not feeling that well so I skipped it but I will do something tonight for sure.

For Breakfast I made a Green Monster but something was wrong with the texture and it sucked lol so I tossed it out

And had Honey Nut Cheerios instead… I am going to be so hungry in the an hour lol 

I have to sneak out of here around 12ish to run to the gym to take our holiday pictures to send to the members =)

Have a great day!!!!

Namaste

Brrrrr...

Oh My it was cold this morning! I need to invest in some gloves ASAP if we plan to do this more often. Thankfully the snow held off and I was able to enjoy my walk with Renata without slipping on any ice =)

Of course I brought along my camera to snap some pictures of the scenery...a bloggie always has their camera on hand lol.

We walked for about 40 minutes and then I came back home and did Namaste Yoga for Distance Runners and burned a total of 338 Calories. 

For Breakfast I warmed up with some Pumpkin Pancakes with Syrup and PB with my usual coffee. This has been a great morning!

So I decided that I am going to train for a 5K in 2010 but I am looking for a running buddy in my area! I am about to put a listing on Craigslist lol...I am trying to talk Renata into it but I'm not sure if she wants to =/. I think training with someone might make it easier and more fun. When you train for a marathon do you prefer to do it alone or with a buddy?

Have a fabulous day! And stay warm =)

Namaste...

TGIS! Since I work on Saturdays...my weekend starts on Saturday afternoon =)

Today was a fun day at the gym besides this one lady who was interested in joining but was such a crab! Thankfully she decided not to lol...I don't like signing up miserable ladies, I rather lose my commission than deal with them. I did manage to sneak in a workout and burned 334 Calories.

Let's talk about some yummy eats! Ayer I met up with my sister and did some holiday shopping...I sneaked in a decaf Skinny Mocha Latte while I was driving After shopping we picked up my niece and went to the supermarket for some Groceries and Bootleg Movies lol; we got New Moon and 2012. We then came back to my place and made my dad's famous sandwiches! Ham, Swiss Cheese, on Buttered Bread (ww white) with a Slice of Tomato, and Ketchup. Pop it in the oven (open faced) for about 10- 15 minutes and din din is served. We paired the sandwiches with Sour Cream & Onion Chips and enjoyed our dinner with Edward, Jacob, and Bella lol. Oh I also had some of Hailey's Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar.

This morning I had a Green Monster for Breakfast which consisted of Spinach, 1/2 a Banana, LMM, PB, Splenda, and Water. After work I went to my mom's casa and was greeted with beautiful holiday decorations. Did I mention how much I heart the holidays! For lunch I packed a PB and Banana Sandwich on WW White Bread.

Later in the evening we were all craving Calamari and Shrimp from Lenny's (our fave Italian restaurant) so we ordered some for din din and my mom made Smart Choice Pasta to pair it with (and their Marinara Sauce). We also watched 2012...wow that movie really shook me up because I believe this might actually happen. Did anyone watch this? And did you hear about the 2012 theory before hand? What do you think?

Thankfully my mom made Lemon Cake and that made everything all better lol.

Do you guys have any plans for the rest of the weekend? It has been raining/snowing all day today but it should be clearing up by mañana which is perfect because I am meeting up with my friend Renata for an early walk in the park =)

Now I am going to spend some time with Dante =)...have a great night!

Namaste...

My Favorite…

Hey Everyone!!!!! TGIF TGIF TGIF!!!!! (I had to get that out of my system lol) I hope everyone is having a wonderful morning =)

I don’t have any plans this weekend besides working at the gym mañana and then going to my mom’s house after. They are predicting some nieve mañana grrrrrrrr but it’s not supposed to stick; Thank God. I am not a huge fan of too much snow; I get really nervous when I have to drive in it.

Eats and Workouts:

Ayer for Lunch I had more Black Beans with Onions and Peppers and Brown rice. I also had 1/2 a Banana with it. I don’t know about you guys but I grew up having a Banana whenever I ate rice and beans…it might be a Dominican thing since Bananas are like Platanos and that is is our national fruit lol

 

My favorite thing about blogging is swapping health and fitness tips, I love learning new things such as Oats in the Jar, Green Monster, etc. Earlier this week Jess from Fit Chick in the City put this great Workout on her page and I could not wait to try it. I was a tad tired ayer but I knew I wanted to give this workout a shot and OMG I loved it! Thank you Jess for a kick ass workout! It took me about 15 minutes to complete it and I burned around 145 Calories and then I cooled down with Namaste Yoga and burned a total of 244 Calories.

Yoga + Christmas Lights = Zen

After my workout, I cooled down with din din which was a Green Monster. This one had Spinach, 1/2 a Banana, 1 scoop of LMM, PB, and Splenda

After din din, I decided to make some pasta to bring into work for lunch today. I sautéed Onions, Peppers, and Mushrooms in Water, Salt, Garlic, and Red Pepper Flakes.

While I boiled some WW Pasta

I then mixed it up with PB, Sesame Teriyaki Sauce, and Chili Bean Sauce ( made enough for two servings)

***********

This morning I woke up and did 40 minutes with my Wii Fit Step while holding 3 lbs weights and elevated it from the floor and burned 378 calories. I watched some of that new show “Jersey Shore” on MTV while I worked out… did anyone else watch this? I love Bad Reality TV like the Real World (and all the challenges), Bad Girls, etc… don’t judge =)

For Breakfast I had Oats in the Jar!!!!! WOOHOOOOOO. I wont ever get tired of this lol

I guess I should go do some work lol…

Que tengan un buen dia!!!!!!!

Namaste…

Thank you to everyone for being so nice on my previous post and thank you to Luigi for telling me like it is and making me laugh at the same time =)

I tried to “behave” ayer and packed my own lunch. I had Brown Rice with Black Beans, Onions, and Peppers. I love the smell of beans simmering for hours and hours =) it reminds me of when I was younger and living at home.

This morning I did 30 Day Shred Level 3 and burned 234 Calories and for Breakfast I just had Chobani Honey Yogurt with 1/2 a Banana and PB with my usual coffee

 

I packed my own lunch (same as ayer) and plan to have a GM for din din again…can somebody say Déjà vu lol
