I had my typical breakfast of oatmeal and a sandwich thin that hit the spot! As I headed into work, I decided that I needed to find a new elliptical workout that really makes me work. I found the perfect workout on Shape.com. It is called "The 45 Minute Scorcher." All day I was really excited to try this workout because sometimes I just don't push myself hard enough when using an elliptical.
I left work right at 4:00pm and jetted to the gym. I have to tell you "The 45 Minute Scorcher," is awesome! The great thing about this workout is that you can also apply it to a treadmill or bike workout. I have never had 45 minutes go by so fast, I did make a couple adjustments by increasing the resistance in the middle of the workout. But other than that I am going to keep this workout handy for whenever I feel like I have gotten in a workout funk.
After my workout I headed home to make a Corn & Shrimp Chowder that I had found in my Cooking Light Cookbook. Again this recipe turned out to be idiot proof and delish. I didn't have scallions but I did have a yellow onion, so I chopped up half and added it to the chowder. I imagine that the scallions would give the chowder an even better taste. I served my corn & shrimp chowder with a half of a sandwhich thin that had a tiny bit of butter and garlic powder on it. This dish was surprisingly filling, I didn't even have a full serving size. :)
Again I was feeling a bit unsatisfied so I ate the other half of my apple from yesterday with a tiny bit of peanut butter. Yummo! Now its time to try and read "Born to Run," I really want to finish this book this week. It is so good, but I have just been to exhausted to read when I finally get into bed.
Today was again another productive day! :) I am so excited for tomorrow because I am having a girls night at a really nice restaurant, The Barking Frog. The catch is that the Barking Frog is part of Dine Around Seattle, which is where lots of local restaurants offer $30 three course dinners! This is the perfect way to be a Foodie on a budget. :) Check back tomorrow for all the details.
