TF Day 4

Well things are going really well with the TurboFire series! This morning was the Fire Starter one, and it was just as much fun as the first time - if not a little more since you already know the routines. My bodybugg said I burned 400 calories - woo-hoo! Not bad for 47 minutes of exercise.
Last night we did 45EZ. That workout was so much fun! Guess I'm going to say that a lot with these, but for me, they really are a lot of fun. They remind me so much of being in a group exercise class which I've always loved doing. Anyway, I thought it was interesting that yesterday I burned 490 calories in a little less time (only 43 minutes). The intensity was a little different. 45EZ has a lot of fun "dance" type moves, and punches; Lots and lots of punches that include a twist to them. When we were done the middle of my back (backside of rib cage) was sore. Yeah to an "ab" workout without crunches!! I'll take it.
My eating yesterday was really good! I wrote out all of my snacks beforehand and I stuck with them (1 rice cake with almond butter and a banana before my morning walk...did 3 miles with Denver in the jogging stroller); a piece of cinnamon raisin bread with apple jelly and coffee; protein smoothie after my workout (blueberries, banana, almond milk, vanilla protein powder).
Chris is off for 3 days so we took the kiddos to the park and the library yesterday morning. Afterwards Katelynn said she was thirsty and wanted lemonade. Chris got all excited and said, "Chick-fil-a?!" Um, okay. I got their southwest grilled chicken salad. It was actually really yummy. Dinner was just leftovers so I had the last of the chicken barely soup I'd made and added some cheese tortellini's that I made the kids to it. My calorie count came in around 1900 - right on track!
Um, okay, so that's what I put in myfitnesspal. After I completed we snuggled up for a movie and I said, "chips and salsa?" Why not. I was still super hungry and came in under goal for the day (I know that's not the point...I need to stay at goal and still burn 400 calories a day to lose a pound a week...I get it, but my stomach was growling). As I went into the kitchen to measure it out Chris said "with cheese?" So, I made nachos. I measured it all out - 4 servings of chips, fresh green peppers, diced green chiles, diced tomatoes, black beans, 3 oz of cheese - throw it all in the oven. YUM! Chris ate most of it. I probably had about 1.5 servings of chips and 1.5 oz of cheese max, so around a 300 calorie snack. Trust me a few years ago that would've been a late night snack around 1000 calories. I've really come a long way. In fact, I've come so far that I'm running out of "skinny" clothes!
You know, that box of clothes that you keep for someday. Someday I will fit in these again. Well my someday clothes now fit and are getting lose. The problem?! I don't have anything smaller!!! It has literally been years since I've been able to fit in these clothes. Most of them I've given to Good-Will because, seriously, I'll never be that small again. Well, guess what?! I AM!! I can't think of a better reason to go shopping - can you?!
My "I just finished 90 days of TurboFire" treat is going to be size 10 jeans! Oh yea!!! I've NEVER worn size 10's! Here I come baby!!!

And, oh yea, this is so true!!!!
