Early morning rising again. I woke up 10 minutes earlier than what I had planned on. I actually got pretty good sleep. That being said I am going to try 3 magnesium supplements and hope for a more sound sleep. I made my way downstairs to change into my gym clothes and off I went. It was just before the storms blew in and the gym was late opening. I ran in when the doors opened, grabbed my towel and headed for some cardio.
Here was today's workout:
10 minute elliptical warm up
6 sets bench press - 32.5# each arm
4 sets incline bench press - 27.5# each arm
4 sets eccentric pull ups
4 sets chest supported rows - 17.5# each arm
4 sets rkc plank
4 sets side planks
15 minutes elliptical
I finished, and as I headed to my car it was pouring, the thunder and lightening had already passed. I got home to D already up and everyone but Jack waiting for breakfast. I fixed everyone's breakfast, gave D his but Jack didn't want anything to do with food. The storm had freaked him out way too much to eat. He really is sensitive.
This mornings breakfast bowl had many similar things as the last few days. Ground pork and bacon with cabbage, zucchini, bacon, asparagus and cauliflower. I just love bacon and want it for breakfast daily. If I could add coffee and peanut butter it would be the best! Haha! Maybe in a month or so.
I made my lunch as I was making breakfast since today I wouldn't be able to come home again for lunch. EGGS! I haven't had eggs in over a month and got the ok to have some! YES! I'm not going to go crazy cause I can only have them 3 times per week. That works!
Similar again to what was yesterday's lunch. Shaved brussel sprouts, cucumber, hearts of palm, olives, spinach, radish and 2 eggs drizzled with olive oil. I cooked the eggs so they were soft on the inside and would create a fabulous dressing to coat the rest of the vegetables. The one thing I didn't show is my required shake. Today's flavor was orange and it tasted just like Tang! Loved it and I had 4 scoops. I may split this up and have a couple scoops and lunch and a couple at dinner.
I had my appointment with a rheumatologist today, for my positive ANA test. Good thing is he doesn't think I have Lupus since I don't present clinically. He is doing more blood work just to make sure, but testing for other conditions too. So I will find out soon, about a week he said and if he doesn't call then everything is normal.
I felt hungrier today, not bloated which was a relief. At the doctor's office I did get a little dizzy, so when I got to work I had my shake. I ate lunch a little later, I think it was just after one and then a few hours later I was hungry again. When I got home I ate some Dang unsweetened coconut chips since we were having a showing of the house right when I got home. I took the pups outside and I captured the pups running around.

The realtor never showed up so I came inside and began making dinner. I added broccoli to my veggie dinner and ground turkey cooked in coconut oil and finished with avocado oil and avocado on the side.
Of course, just as I was finishing making dinner. D was sitting down to his, there came a knock at the door. Seriously, 30 minutes late stood the realtor and his clients. We of course let them in and I tried to clean up the kitchen a bit as they made their way around the house. Here I stand in the kitchen hair pulled back in a bun and in my sweats and robe! Really?! You can't be serious! They could have at least called! Blargh! Oh well.
Time to relax, watch a movie and meditate before going to bed. Tomorrow is nothing but cardio, well in the am that is.
I find that anyone that comes to read this will get bored and I need to figure out other things to talk about! It can't all be food, exercise and meditation, can it?!
