Week 4

Hey Loves! Week 4 of C25K is kicking my bum! My legs are so tight and I swear I must have asthma because I sound like Darth Vader when I am on the treadmill ha. BUT I have managed to complete the workouts thus far so that’s a good thing! WOOHOOO

Eats and Workouts

For some reason, I have been craving Mexican food like crazy, first with my Tofu Quesadilla and now with my Mexican Pizza. This pizza consisted of my Black Beans, 2% Mexican Blend Cheese, Rudi’s Wholegrain Wrap, Salsa, and Reduced Fat Sour cream.

(I am still on the Mexican kick; tonight I am making fresh guac! yuuuuuums.)

Later in the evening, I trained my client and only burned 147 Calories while I trained her; I was spotting her for most of it.

For din din I made my usual stir fry but with some tweaks. First I fried the Tofu in a little bit of Oil and then I tossed in some Brussels, Mushrooms, Red Pepper Flakes, Szechuan Hot Paste, Sesame Teriyaki, and PB…this was soooooo freaking good! I would have paid to have this delivered lol

and for dessert some Protein Cookie Dough

This morning I went to the gym and completed day 2 of C25K and did 10 minutes of Elliptical and burned 497 Calories.

For Breakfast I had OIAJ!

I hope everyone has a great afternoon. I am off to snag a good parking spot before the storm hits…Stay safe AND Warm!

Namaste…

mmm mexican pizza yum!

I struggle with my breathing while running too. I try to focus on it and it helps a lot. It also makes the time go by faster!

The fact that you can breathe at the same time as run, wheezing or not, puts you waaaaaaaaaay ahead of me. You are doing great!

I would pay to have that delivered too- want to ship me some tofu goodness? :P

Even though we're super far apart, we still are in sync! I've been eating nothing but Mexican lately...healthy nachos, tacos, and black bean salads w/ salsa. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I read your blog today. :)

i made guac for the super bowl-sooo good! i was sad everyone ate it all :-)
if you have an immersion blender it makes guac soooo easily!

Julie said...

Great job with the running girl! It will get easier, just keep going. I love your protein dough, always looks yummy.

That pizza looks amazing!! And congrats on the running.. our track coach actually forced us to go out and run in the blizzard today and it wasn't half bad!

Mom on the Run said...

I'm so going to add red pepper flakes to my stir fry next time! :)

Sometimes training does kick ones butt, but I'm sure you'll get over the hump soon enough!
