Day 3 - Wednesday - Breakfast & Workout

Life is about to change here. My husband was more or less forced into taking a night shift position with his company. He went in at midnight last night and will be home at 2:30 this afternoon. Then next week he'll be working 9pm to 6am. I haven't been able to work out how that will affect our eating. It shouldn't affect it at all. But he didn't take any of the pre-planned menu foods with him today. Also, he wasn't here for breakfast, so I didn't have to get up early. Hooray!

The Menu:

-egg foo yung (omelet made with carrots, cabbage, scallions, mushrooms, red peppers, chicken, and egg beaters)
-1 orange
-1 slice sprouted 7-grain toast with spray butter
-8 oz. 1% milk

My Response:

New to me foods: omelets in general; mushrooms specifically


I was apprehensive about the omelet. Seemed like a really unusual combination. It was surprisingly good. My only complaint was that I didn't put any salt in it, and it could have used just a touch. I have never been a fan of oranges, but I'll eat them.

The Workout:

Today's cardio was 24 minutes (+2 from yesterday), plus a series of 5 mobility exercises (1 minute each, 2 sets). I had to use the elliptical again. It's growing on me. But I have a woman who wants to buy the elliptical, so I'll have to find the treadmill key soon.  The mobility exercises were not a joke today. Ugh. Planks. Planks are detestable. By the end of the last one, I seriously thought I was going to vomit. But I breathed through it and feel quite worked over! I'm pretty sure I wasn't nearly as far up off the ground as this lady is.
