LC Day 29

I guess I didn't need to worry about a monday weight gain from all my hard workouts this weekend...cuz I'm down to 277.6...I couldn't believe it for myself! But....I'm not booking it until friday...since I said that is my new weigh in day. What an awesome way to start the week though.

My workouts were fantastic. I did 15 minutes on the elliptical saturday and...gulp...20 MINUTES yesterday! I have no idea if I'll be able to repeat that, but I'm sure gonna try! I did arm weights saturday enough to make me sore even still today...so I'm doing something right! YAY! Today my booty hurts...so I did my "simple" lower body exercises right too...not bad for a girl with a spinal cord injury!

Breakfast was one of my "egg, sausage, cheese and cauliflower muffins" (I gotta find a shorter way of saying that!), looks like lunch will likely be roast beef heated with Swiss cheese, served on a lettuce leaf with maybe a side of green beans. Dinner will be steak and maybe a salad??? I'm also going to have pumpkin cheesecake sometime today, and I have celery and cream cheese packed in case I need a snack.

I didn't have steak last night as planned cuz I made a bizarre dinner that worked out pretty good. Some time ago I bought these turkey and chicken meatballs (brand name Aidells) from a natural food store. These are the chipotle kind. I knew from experience they were super spicy. Anyway, I pulled them out of the freezer trying to think of how to prepare them. Well...I ended up heating them up and them cutting them into 4 pieces and making a taco salad out of it. I wanted the sour cream to cool down the spiciness. It was pretty good...my only issue was that I made too much and had to throw some out. The package I had was zero net carb...but I just looked online and they have changed their nutrition info to show they are now 1 net carb...either way, it was good for something different.

As for rungs...I can't decide if I'm really on Rung 3 now since I didn't truly add anything from rung 2...or if I should hang out in 2 another week and give something new a go. I supposed I could work in some Ricotta somewhere...it just seemed so high in carbs that it wasn't gonna be worth the effort. I couldn't find any low-carb yogurt...and I don't think I'd be too thrilled to have it without fruit anyway.
