2/28/12 Accountability

Today was a good day exercise-wise, and ok food-wise.

Food Journal...

Breakfast: Piece of bread, almond butter, banana

Lunch: Made a new recipe (not healthy though): Spinach, broccoli quiche puffs

Dinner: Broccoli and leftovers pasta

So, my broccoli and spinach was gonna go bad pretty soon, and I had 3 eggs left. I didn't want to make scrambled eggs, so I brainstormed till I made a DELICIOUS and not so nutritious meal. Broccoli and Spinach quiche puffs! I chopped up a WHOLE lot of spinach and steamed broccoli, mixed in a couple eggs, cooked it on the skillet, then wrapped them up in crescent rolls in the oven. Oh my goodness, DELICIOUS. But, like I said, since they're not so nutritious, and I couldn't find anyone who wanted any, (quiche aint for everyone, especially when it's loaded with spinach and broccoli) I'm just gonna throw the rest out. They're terribly unhealthy for you, so once is enough for me. I'll have to make them for the family when I'm home though.

Exercise for the day...

I did about 45 minutes of different exercises at the apartments (lunges, weights, crunches, stretches, etc.) then went to the gym for the cardio part. The elliptical is out of order, so I tried another one, and I really liked it! It's essentially the elliptical minus the moving handlebars. I did 3.25 miles in 30 minutes on that as usual, but according to the machine, it burned more calories than the elliptical! The elliptical on average is I'd say 230 calories per session, but this one was at 260! (They tell you it's 250 and 280, but most machines over-estimate calories burned, so I just tweak it down a bit.)

Waking up early for a morning workout before school! I'll be there at 7:15!
