 I so want to get back to doing Body Pump but the only times it's offered at my gym when I could possible make it is at 5:45 a.m. I don't even think I exist at 5:45 a.m. Ugh!!! Need to make a point to chat with the fitness director to see what the problem is. I suspect they don't have an instructor available in the evenings.

THey've cut five classes from my gym for the summer but I'm not sure which ones yet. If I do BP, it's usually the Saturday 815 am class but this one was the Sunday 3pm....other than that, I do yoga at 530 on Wednesday and my goal is to do the Monday 6 am spin class!!!!!!!!!!

Um, you could be the instructor!! : )

 Heh. That's funny. That would require I could get through a class without cursing.

As soon as I get settled I want to see about taking the exam to be a Zumba instructor though. That I could do for an hour no problem.

YOu may think I'm crazy but Zumba gives me motion sickness! I've been uber sensitive to motion sickness since I was a very small child -- I even get myself sick driving to work somedays!

 I never got it from Zumba but I notice post-op I CANNOT do carnival rides that spin you around. Causes symptom of dumping times four million!

I love Zumba and belly dancing. Any excuse to try and be slinky ;) Meow!

I had a great weekend!  Got to spend lots of time with my husband who is otherwise working his crazy summer hours.  :)

I stuck to the plan all weekend, even packing a lunch for when we went to a car show on Sunday; my husband had a gyro and a cheeseburger, lucky him!

Today it's back to work AND my six-week post-op appointment with my surgeon and dietician.

B: 4 oz. Greek yogurt with 1T sugar-free peach preserves and a pinch of Splenda
S: Unjury Strawberry Sorbet shake
L: 2 oz. deli sliced chicken breast and 2 oz. Babybel Light cheese
S: 12 oz. decaf with Unjury Chocolate Classic
D: Probably 2 oz. of beef w/ au jus and 2 oz. green beans
S: some sort of protein drink

 Posting here because I've noticed my carbs have been out of control lately. Time to get back on track. This weekend I finally figured out how to make hot protein! I tried 3 or 4 times early out and got those icky floaters and gave up, but on Saturday I decided to pull up the post on bariatric foodie and try one more time and success! I've been missing out for a long time!! Thanks Nik!! Anyway...on the menu today:

Hot protein coffee (LOVE!)
Omlette with spinach and mushrooms
Leftover chicken from yesterday with cucumber salad
Grilled pork loin with sautéed zucchini 
Greek yogurt with strawberries

I live a few blocks from the beach so tonight I plan to take a bike ride and walk on the beach with the kids. My 5 year old is finally comfortable riding with out training wheels so we will be doing a lot of riding now!! 

Have a blessed day everyone.

 Use hand blender! I have coffee protein every morning. One teaspoon of decaf and 46 grams of protein with shot of sf caramel. Yummy!

 My method takes practice but the benefit is that you don't dirty up any additional equipment!
