Day Four Exercise

I think I’ll go out and rake the leaves and sweep. We had bad winds here and they are all over the place. That should count as some exercise. 🙂

Wow. Three hours of raking sweeping and mowing. I think that counts for the rest of my workout. I will post the usual though. I’m pooped.

Day Four Lunch

I like to buy Organic soups from my local Farmer’s Market. They are inexpensive and very satisfying. Today I’m having Muir Glen Organic Savory Lentil. I would suggest having some on hand at all times. Just open, heat, and serve.

1 cup with a couple of multigrain crackers.

Breadless Eggs Florentine with Bacon Flavored Chips

This is a low calorie twist on your typical Eggs Florentine. Bread isn’t always necessary, but if you want the muffin that’s an easy adjustment by toasting one and placing it underneath your ingredients.

 

Breadless Eggs Florentine with Bacon Flavored Chips

 

Here are the Ingredients:

• 2 egg, poached
• 3 cups spinach, raw, sauteed (should yield 1 cup cooked)
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon bacon flavored chips
• 6 dashes Tobasco sauce
• pinch of salt and pepper
• slotted spoon

Bring water and vinegar to a boil and slowly lower in egg. Turn off burner and slowly gather egg whites together with yoke. Place lid on top and let stand covered for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, saute spinach in oil until cooked through. Put spinach on plate and place egg and bacon bits on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dashes of Tobasco. Enjoy.

Day Four Breakfast

 

Good morning. Went to bed early. Feeling energetic this morning. Don’t forget to take a multivitamin everyday.

Day Three Evening

Today was a good day. I did my volunteer work where I probably walked at least a couple of miles on top of my regular walk. I hope everyone enjoyed their day as well.

Day Three Abs

Ab exercise from Health Magazine Dec 2009 issue

This is called the Boat Pose. Sit with your feet on the floor, knees bent, hands beneath your knees for support. Keeping your chest lifted and shoulders back, engage your ab muscles and raise your lower legs until they are parallel to the floor (your knees should still be bent) and you are balancing on your sitting bones. If this feels comfortable, begin to straighten your legs (stop if you feel any discomfort in your back) and stretch your arms forward. Hold for 5-15 breaths, then release. Repeat up to 5 times.

Day Three Legs

3 sets 10 reps each.

Day Three Dessert

Vanilla Ricotta Creme (see recipe). This is so simple yet very delicious.
