Hi Friends! Hope you had a wonderful Saturday. 🙂 It was a busy day for me enjoying time with my Mom. She's been here visiting from Wisconsin since before Christmas and has another week with me in Arizona before returning. Boo...
For Fitness...
I went to spin class this morning and scored serious calorie burn! I wear a Polar hear monitor when I workout so I know these calories are real. My bike at class read my calorie burn at 1300. For those of you who don't know, the machines at the gym are not accurate. Do not rely on them for your calorie read-out. If you want accuracy, invest in a heart monitor. I have the Polar FT4 http://www.polar.com/us-en/products/get_active/fitness_crosstraining/FT4
I will a review on my Polar heart monitor in a future post.
After spin class, I needed serious refuel.
Two egg whites with spinach & diced green pepper dressed with a dash of hot sauce, a side of oatmeal with 1/4 cup blueberries and 1/2 cup raspberries and a cup of joe.
This is what a 225 calorie breakfast looks like!
For Fun...
Mom & I went to Premium Outlets in Chandler, AZ today for shopping therapy. It was a beautiful day to be outside walking for a couple of hours. I am happy to report there wasn't much damage to our bank accounts. We returned home with just 3 bags between the two of us. Those of you who know how my Mom & I shop understand why I say this! 😉
And For More Fun...
Mom & I went to Grimaldi's http://www.grimaldispizzeria.com for dinner. We shared a mediterranean salad and a veggie pizza with a garlic olive oil sauce topped with mushrooms, artichoke & roma tomatoes. One trick for you with salads - always ask for the dressing on the side. Dressing has a TON of calories so my advice is to add 2-3 tablespoons to your salad to keep your calories under control.
Dinner's calorie count? Yet to be calculated! I'm certain with the spin and walking I did today my calorie digits are right where they should be. I can count on one hand the number of times a year I eat pizza. All good things in moderation!
And For EVEN More Fun...
Mom & I are in our pj's watching a movie http://thanksforsharingmovie.com on Apple TV http://www.apple.com/appletv/.
Enjoy your night. What did you do for fitness and fun today?
xoxo,
Megan
