getting fit, week three.


guess what?! as of this very morning, I'm down 9 pounds!! almost everyday I've been doing my floor workout (200 situps, 20 pushups, 20 squats, 20 calf raises) and I got in two runs. I've continued to eat healthier, too. I've been eating more veggies and looking at the calories/fat/carbs in foods before I eat them. when I'm craving chocolate or ice cream I just eat a little non-fat froyo, or put a few chocolate chips in my non-fat light yogurt. it cures my craving without all the sugar/fat that regular desserts have.

last weeks goals:: do floor workouts every day- not fully completed. when I dog sat I completely forgot about the workout. oops. run at least three miles- completed. continue to say no to bad foods- completed.
this weeks goals:: don't forget floor workouts every day and get in at least two runs.

I also found this recipe on pinterest, they're okay. but you have to eat them fast, they went moldy in less than a week. I'm not sure if I'll make them again, but I promised Katrin that I'd share the recipe, so here we go.

cookies

3 bananas
1/3 cup apple sauce
2 cups oats
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
raisins (optional)

mash up the bananas, and then mix in the rest of the ingredients. plop the mixture onto a baking tray and bake at 350 for 15-20 min. I did not add the raisins but I did add chocolate chips, which helped with the flavor.


also, Liz posts a bunch of healthy delicious looking recipes, I'm going to make her peanut butter cups sometime this week, I can't wait to try them!

  1. Great job! I have been good at my squats, added in calf raises and push ups this week. And I've been walking 3x a week. That will probably have to move indoors as we're in the negative windchill right now. LOL
