Curves this morning was great! Burned 636 calories. I felt like I had more strength this morning. Not sure why... maybe because I was awake for over an hour before going, and had a protein drink beforehand. Hubby started his new job today so we are getting up earlier. Today we got up at 7, but tomorrow will be 6 (and all days after for 3 weeks while he is training). That will actually work out well tomorrow because I'll have time to work out, shower and pack food before getting to Ian's parents house between 10 & 11 to hang out with his dad.
I have been meaning to share this new food find:
Yasso frozen greek yogurt bars. Came across these at our last grocery shop... we picked up strawberry (not pictured) so that is the only one I've tried so far. My dad was going shopping at a different store today so I asked him to look and he found these. I haven't tried these flavors yet but I liked the strawberry. Wouldn't say LOVE like omg it's sooooo good... but it's good. It definitely tastes like yogurt and has that slight yogurt-y aftertaste. But only 70 calories and with 6 grams protein, definitely a good choice when I want something cold and ice-cream like. I love my skinny cow sandwiches but these are half the calories and 3x the protein. I can still have those when I want but these are a great alternative... and they take longer to eat, which is more satisfying.
Tonight's dinner was crock pot chicken in a mixture of campbell's cheddar cheese and cream of chicken soup (healthy request ones) over brown rice and with a side of green beans.
I almost finished my chicken and rice but not quite, and I had to give half my green beans away.
Just for the sake of comparison, I wanted you guys to see my plate next to my dad's plate. We use smaller plates and still eat half (or less) what he eats (or what most people eat lol).
Now for the "travel ready" part. This past weekend Ian and I looked around a few stores trying to find some good travel bags. They will be a carry-on when we fly, but then also be our "day packs" when we are out walking around each city. I wanted to be able to carry my ipad and my camera bag inside of it as well as water/snacks, wallet, etc. I found this to be my favorite bag and I didn't like the light blue color at the store so I looked online and found purple so I ordered it Saturday ... and it arrived today! (Thanks Zappos!)
This is the Keen Adele Computer Bag. It's a messenger style bag but with no flap. I hate how the flap of a messenger bag is in your way when you try to look through the bag. This is also a great size... big enough for my macbook air, but not SO big that my ipad or other things flop around in it. Lots of exterior and interior pockets too.
Nice big zippered pocket on the front.
One of these pockets on each side.
The interior. The back has the padded portion for laptop/ipad with a foldover snap flap. The middle is deep enough for my little camera bag. Mesh pocket on the right side there holds my laptop cord well. Zippered portion at the ftont is perfect size for my travel wallet (the tall skinny kind) and then 3 more interior pockets below the zippered one.
At home I can use this for when I want to take my laptop AND ipad somewhere with me - they both fit in that flap together (and that's what I'll do on the plan, also)... so I hope to get a lot of use out of this bag!
Really looking forward to the upcoming trips. :)
