I had a good weekend eating wise. Although for supper last night I had breakfast. And I had pancakes. That is right I said it " Pancakes". Every once in a while I have to have a carb-haha. I figured since I am in maintenance and it was within my daily calorie amount- I would just have a couple. I don't and won't do this all the time but every once in a while. Whew I feel lighter already just getting that off my conscience.

Keep fighting the fight!
 
I don´t really get pancakes. Or pizza, for that matter. Or donuts. Pasta? Sure, every six months or so. But show me potatoes in any shape or form and I´m in up to my chin :p

It's funny the different things that give different people pleasure in the food area, isn't it. I don't like potatoes at all. I will eat them but I would rather have salad with my meal than potatoes or bread.
 
I'm not a big potato lover either. A plate of antipasto now..... is another matter entirely. Olives, dolmades, cheese......

I like antipasto too. Although we have a tendency to eat that at Christmas time- I don't know why-lol.
 
Boot camp night last night. I got my ass handed to me. Wow what a workout. She had us do a set of 10 exercises in a circuit. We start on one exercise - do that for a minute then go right to the next exercise- another minute and so on until we did all 10. Then we rest for a minute and then do another circuit. We did that 3 times. By the end I was a puddle of sweat-lol. Good workout but very tough. We did things like crunches, pushups on a balance trainer, sprinting on a treadmill, pushups where you hang from straps and pull yourself up, etc. Killer workout and I am too old for this-lol. Felt good when I was done though. Sore today but a good sore.

Today I take the day off, Tomorrow is a running day for me. Thursday back to boot camp and Friday is another running day. Weekend I try to run or walk on one of the days.

On my boot camp and running days- I eat a little more. I usually have an extra two corn cakes with peanut butter. Peanut butter is my go to protein source but I watch how much of it I eat. I am also a cottage cheese guy ( although I HATED it when I was younger).

That is it for today. Keep fighting the fight!
 
Circuits are supposed to kill you, on every fitness level. If you don´t feel like throwing up along the way, you´re not giving it your all :p

I know. They are nasty but in a good way I guess-lol. There was a couple of times there where I thought I was going to puke! The things we don't do to try to get into shape!
 
Today is running day. I will probably be running around 5 KM or so. It is cooler here. It is 4 Degrees Celsius. There is snow all around us with some places getting 15 Cm. I think it should be outlawed that we get snow this early. Although we have had snow in August so I guess I will count my blessings.

Keep fighting the fight!
 
I'd take some of that snow. All last week was cooler but this week it has been summer temperatures again. I want the cool weather! :p
 
It's been beautiful here the few days, but I think it's supposed to cool down this weekend. As long as it's not snowing I'm good. I don't know why I live in Michigan... lol!

Yeah I don't blame you. I do much better with the cooler weather too. The unfortunate part of living here is that it seems to be a place of extremes. It is either too hot or too cold at least during the seasons. Winter can be brutal up here. Although it is usually nice and sunny the snow and cold can be nasty-lol
