Weighing in and working out
Today was weigh-in day and I have to admit that I was a little nervous about what the scale might have in store for me. You see, after talking a big game in my previous post about how easy it is stay under my daily points total while eating a plant-based diet, I somehow managed to blow not only all of my daily points yesterday, but 15 weekly points too. Well, not SOMEHOW, I know how. I'm not proud of it, but I ate pizza last night. A lot of pizza. It wasn't vegan. I regret it. Let's move on. Thankfully, all is not lost though because I still ended up losing 1.6 pounds this week. It's basically a miracle. And now that I've confessed and we've agreed to forget about it, let me tell you about my day.
First, I decided that I needed wanted a cute new workout outfit so I headed to TJ Maxx first thing this morning to do a bit of shopping. I ended up grabbing a new graphic tank, some capri joggers, and because I still haven't figured out which box my old one is packed away in, a new water bottle.
By the time I returned home from my shopping endeavor I was completely famished, so I threw together a simple lunch of pasta with homemade sauce. I realize that homemade sauce doesn't actually sound all that simple, but I promise it was. I just threw some salt-free tomato sauce into a pot with lots of spices, garlic, and chopped tomato, bell pepper, zucchini, and spinach, let it simmer for a bit and then served it over noodles. See? Easy!
Consider it crushed.
After lunch I did a few household chores and then decided to give my new outfit a try. I wanted to do Kenpo X but couldn't find my P90X videos so I found a kickboxing workout video on YouTube to try instead. It was WAY less intense than Kenpo X but was still fun and definitely made me sweat. Don't ask me why I'm flexing as if I actually have something to flex. Just wait arms, one day you will have muscles. One day...
What's better after a hot, sweaty, workout than a big, hot, bowl of chili? I possibly didn't think that out too well... Oh well, this lentil and black bean chili was still da bomb, even if I totally wasn't in the mood for anything hot after working out. At least I didn't have to slave over a hot stove to make it. Crockpot dinner ftw!
So that's my day in a nutshell. I'm going on a hike with my sister tomorrow morning and will for sure be documenting it so look for a new post tomorrow!
