I had a good workout week. Although I didn't make it to the Wednesday water class this week, I did more treadmill work. My incline is getting up to 4.5. I'm shooting for 5. Tuesday night I went for a long walk in the snow. I love walking after a snow! It's so calm out, and you get such a better workout trudging through the white stuff. My goal I have set with Teri my trainer is to walk 5 miles before I meet with her next week. Also to write down 20 of my favorite 'not so healthy' foods, then come up with healthier ways to make those foods. I'm just starting to work on that, so I'll let you know what I come up with.
I said I would share a couple of my favorite snacks - One of my favs is 1/2 Stonyfield Plain Lowfat Yogurt + 1/2 packet of Trader Joe's Omega Trek Mix (nuts, seeds, dried cranberries) I'm a fan of peanut butter, so another snack will be 1/2 apple, or 1/2 banana, or celery with 1/2 Tbls. Organic Unsweetened Peanut Butter. I try to keep snacks around 100 calories. (It's amazing how far 1/2 Tbls. of PB will go.) If I don't fuel by body inbetween meals, I am way too hungry at mealtime, plus it's better so the body doesn't go into starvation mode!

Did you use snowshoes? Some friends of mine recently went snowshoeing and loved it. I found out that REI rents equipment, so I am thinking fo trying it. I'm currently sick, so my workouts have been limited to a couple 15 minute quick walks on the treadmill. Frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI love peanutbutter, too--- or any unsalted nut butter. I'm equal opportunity when it comes to nuts. :D
My favorite travelling snack has been a small baggie of dried cranberries, multigrain cheerios and sunflower seeds. It does the trick when I'm hungry and I don't have time to put something together.
I haven't used snowshoes yet! I have been saying I want to try them. Thanks for the tip on REI. A couple of my friends own them too - I'm hoping to try it this weekend! I'm sick right now too - it sure puts a damper on the workouts! I like the snack idea. Keep up the good work. Do you work with a trainer?
