Sorry! MIA!!

I've clearly been M.I.A. for awhile - sorry! I got sick last week and blogging my workouts was the least of my concerns! I woke up with a sore throat on Wednesday morning and should have taken it easy in the workout department, but wanted to make up for weekend mistakes in the food log.  I did Taebo with Ali from 5-6  and then team workout with Larsyn (one of the trainers :) ) from 6:30-7:30 - WHEW!!

Then I was coughing on Thursday :(  but the Dr. wouldn't see me because I wasn't sick yet (seriously?). Then I weighed-in at the meeting on Thursday last week and lost 1.3 pounds!! So total over 2 weeks is 5.8 - not too shabby!!

I called the Doctor on Friday and lo and behold, I'm sick.  So I'm now on antibiotics and steroids for a sinus and chest infection.  Yay for Mom and Dad who brought me groceries, flowers (tulips), and treats (strawberries and kale!) (that's Mom) and a humidifier and mucinex (that's Dad)!!! Love them and am glad they were ready to drop things off since I was taking (and am still taking but not during the day) the meds that you don't 'operate machinery' while taking.

Unfortunately, you gain weight if you don't make your 1200 calories/day and Friday & Saturday, I slept all day in an effort to feel better and only averaged around 950 calories/day - ugh.  Sunday, I did better and last night I even had salmon and roasted kale chips for dinner (thanks, Mom for the Kale!!).

Some of you have asked what kinds of things I eat... here's food schedule for this week (it stays the same day-by-day each week, but then I change it weekly so I won't get too bored :) :
Breakfast @ 6:45AM = chobani plain fat free yogurt with 1/2 cup of strawberries, 1/8 cup of chopped walnuts, and 1/3 serving of dark chocolate shavings and bits
Snack @ 10:15AM = hard boiled egg white
Lunch @ 12:30 = 1/2 cup quinoa; 4 oz of grilled maple mustard chicken; 2 cups of mixed salad greens and 1/2 cup of grape tomatoes with home-made dressing (EVOO, white balsamic vinegar and mustard)
Snack at 3:30 = 1 cup of celery sticks & 1 TBS of sabra artichoke and spinach hummus
Snack at 5:15 - prior to workout: 1/2 an orange (or 1/2 a banana or apple)
Workout 6:15-7:15
Dinner at 7:45 = 1 cup of lentil kale soup

Technically, you are then supposed to go to bed 3 hours after you eat, but my exhausted body can't do that... so sometimes, the end of the day looks like this:
Snack at 3:30 - see above
Dinner at 5 = see above
Workout = see above
Come home, shower, and collapse in bed
