Good weekend

After a little dining splurge on Friday (pizza, then a sandwich out for dinner), I had two good workout days on Saturday and Sunday. I'm feeling good and I think I'm building up my endurance a little...finally. Saturday was upper body lifting and cardio. On Sunday I did a little lifting (abs and leg extensions), 45 minutes on the elliptical machine, took a five minute break for a much-needed Clif Mojo bar, and then did another 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill, and I could have gone even more and felt fine. The bar was really good, by the way--lots of organic ingredients and 9 or 10 grams of protein. It was a nice pick-me-up.

Dinner Saturday: grilled pork chops, grilled sweet potatoes, steam pack of brocolli. I've been really happy with the chops on the grill lately. They stay really juicy. Sunday night we had leftovers using stuff around the house. I made a spinach salad with the leftover steak from last week, leftover peas, and a pepper-veggie steam pack I had in the freezer. It worked. I keep feeling starving just a couple of hours after dinner, though. Lately I've been handling that with a bowl of cereal with skim milk. However, I have the sinking suspicion I should try to curtail the post-dinner eating altogether. Water, maybe? Mmm. Yum.

I haven't been doing regular weigh ins since March, mostly because I know I have put on weight since then and I just don't want the official bad news. But I plan to do it on Wednesday morning. This is AJ's last week of camp, which is too bad...mostly for me. It's only a few hours a few times a week but it has made a huge difference having a couple little windows of free time. Oh well. We take August off, head to the Cape in a few weeks, and then he'll be back on the same schedule for school in September. I just need to find a way to maintain the workout schedule until then.
