Mixin it up a bit!

OK, so I’m rethinking this 30 Day Shred thing! I’ve only done two days and I’m exhausted! I don’t want to not do it, what I think would work better for me is if I set a goal to do the Shred just 3 days a week – Mon, Wed, Fri – and on Tues and Thur use a different dvd. For one reason I don’t want to bore myself with the same 20 minute workout every day for the next 6 weeks, and another thing, my muscles are very sore after the workout so I’d like a day doing something else (probably the Leslie Sansone Walk Away The Pounds dvds) to kinda give me a ‘rest’. 

So, although a Wednesday would normally be a ‘Shred’ day, I did it yesterday so today I will do WATP for Abs :-)

I’m doing well this week sticking to my points, I hope I can continue to do that well in to the weekend.

Breakfast yesterday was 2 slices of toast(2pp), laughing cow cheese(1pp), Jenny-O extra lean turkey bacon, 3 slices (1pp) – there’s only 2 on the plate cos I’d already eaten one ;-) mushrooms and tomato (free). Total 4pp

Lunch was a ‘seaside sarnie’! My sister will know exactly what this is! When I talked on the phone to her yesterday I mentioned we had eggs left over from coloring them for Easter and that I would make a nice egg salad sandwich for lunch. She was the one that said “make the seaside sarnie!”, which I had not thought of in a very long time. A seaside sarnie (sarnie being the slang word we use in England for a sandwich) is egg and tomato mixed with Salad Cream (another English thing, but rather like Miracle Whip). I like my egg and tom sandwiches with mayo, so I used Hellmans’ Reduced Fat, 1 egg and 1 egg white and half a fresh tomato. I must say it was delicious…. took me back a few years too :-)

Yummy close-up shot for Nenna!

For dinner I finally tried my homemade stuffed shells that I’d made a couple of weeks ago and put in the freezer. I just stuffed the shells with rf ricotta cheese, 1 egg and some frozen spinach and parmesan. Then I froze them. I defrosted them yesterday and added the marinara sauce and cheese on top and baked for 30 minutes. Yummy-licious!

Not sure about the points for this but I’m guessing 8. There’s a recipe online for the same points for 3 shells but that has a meat suace, mine has no meat at all, but I’ll still say 8 rather then be under.

Had a SmartOnes Dessert after dinner – 4pp.

Did Day 2 of the Shred, AND walked over 7000 steps (that did include doing the workout, but I’m just adding it for reference).
