Monday Monday Monday!!

Hey guys! I am so glad Monday is over! Today got off to a rather WET start with the snow showers we had today....I am not a fan of snow so it was annoyingly cold and wet. Where are you summer?!!

I started off my day with my usual breakfast at work (hard boiled egg whites and 2 clementines). It's just easier to grab for breakfast at work. On the weekends I usually switch it up and have omelets or breakfast sandwiches.

Lunch
Leftovers from dinner last night (3 oz oven roasted chicken, 1 stuffed shell made with chopped spinach and low fat cottage cheese, and broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus). I also splurged and got some roasted potatoes and carrots from the cafe downstairs. The portion sizes at the cafe were ginormous! The potatoes were a little greasy so I didn't end up eating all of them. Look at all of that color! I love when you can look at your plate and see lots of COLOR!!

Snack
I later had a big ol' chocolate chip cookie which I nuked in the microwave until it was warm, gooey and delicious!

After work I hopped in the car and drove to Club Fitness to start my workout. Since bootcamp didn't start until 4:30pm and I had 45 minutes to spare I got on the treadmill and ran 2 miles in 19:39.  This was my warmup.

(This pic was snapped as I was walking after I finished my run).

I am making it my mission to get better at running. I was sweating cats and dogs and huffing and puffing. I need to learn to better control my breathing during runs. Anyone else have this issue?

I then decided to hop on the Elliptical Cross trainer for another 10 minutes and set the incline to 14 and resistance to 4. I wanted my heart rate to be between 135-145 because that is my target heart rate to burn fat.

After 10 minutes, I wiped down the machine and waited in line for bootcamp because it's serious business. Everyone wants to be the first inside to scope out their territory The instructor was not there today and we had a sub....fortunately she is a really good instructor that actually used to teach bootcamp classes all the time. We did stations today and it was a great workout!

My WOD

• 20 minute run @ 6.3 speed (19:39)
• 10 minue elliptical cross trainer ; 14 incline and 4 resistance
• 45 minutes bootcamp stations interval training

My fitbit estimated that I burned a whopping 669 calories at the gym this afternoon! I'll take it considering my cookie easily contained 300 calories this afternoon!!

After the gym I snacked on some red grapes before dinner.

For dinner I had some delicious crockpot taco chicken soup!! It was delicious and so easy to make. Here is the recipe

It was a busy day and I am just now sitting down to blog all about it!

Now it's time for Dancing With The Stars! I can't wait for Sean Lowe to dance!! :)

Questions:
1. How was your Monday?
2. What did you have for dinner?
3. Who does CrossFit?
