We arrived home yesterday after a long day and a half of travelling. The icy conditions in PA had not disappeared in the AM when I tried to walk Shane. It was impossible. We only went about 1 mile. It rained non stop all the way home.
So it was a quiet day yesterday, unpacking, washing, putting gifts away, but Pam who is visiting from FL came over for dinner. She and Ted had a steak and I had baked Tofu, marinated in Maple Pom with Old Style Grainy honey mustard. I baked it each side about 20 minutes.
We had steamed broccoli on the side. I added a slice of lemon and a little garlic to the broc. while steaming.
Good to be back to “clean” eating.
Sunday at Home
Waking up in our own bed. Ahhh. Although there was a moment upon waking where I wondered where I was. Too much wine over the last 5 days.
Up at 5:45 AM to check out the weather conditions by jogging with Shane. We went 5 miles, but had to stick to the side streets because the walk ways that were cleared had a little ice on them. That should melt today as it is in the 40’s.
I couldn’t resist getting back downstairs and doing a little more. So I spent 20 min. on the ET, 25 min. doing weights – one exercise each body part, 3 sets x 10 reps.
- Walking Lunges with 15 lb weighted bar across shoulders.
- Chest press, 45 lb bar.
- Bent over rows, 20 lb dumbbells.
- Shoulder presses 15 lb db’.
- Tricep push downs using the rope, 30 lbs.
- Bicep curls, 15 lb db’s
- Ball crunches.
I finished with 10 minutes of rowing. The weights were lighter today as I was simply intending to prepare my muscles for the week ahead, back to normal, one body part focus per day.
The workout was rewarded by a nice breakfast: 
Sauteed 10 pcs. of asparagus-trimmed, chopped + 1 cup baby spinach + garlic and onions + 3/4 cup EggBeaters. Reduced Fat Feta, red pepper and salt added. Topped with a few sprinkles of hot sauce. Served on top of 2 thin slices of pumpernickel bread.
Today, Ted’s family are coming over to celebrate a late Christmas and Shane and I will make our selves scarce. People who are unfamiliar with him get a little nervous and we want everyone to enjoy themselves so Shane will just have to catch up on last weeks workload with me at the office.
Have a great day!
