Hurtin' Unit

Oooohhh....I hurt!  :{  Perhaps I was a little too enthusiastic with all this gym action!  Last night's session included a very bizarre machine that did odd things with my arms and legs.  Then this morning I added a few extra pounds to the weight machines I used, knowing it's good to stretch the muscles.  This evening I walked two miles with Sandra but was in pain most of the way, as earlier in the day I slipped and fell at a clients home, wrenching my bum-knee exactly where it already hurts!  Argh!!  I'm hoping four Advil and resting in bed w/ my leg up will help it to feel better!  I have early gym plans for the morning, but don't want to do anything foolish either!


It was a good day!  I had sort-of a plan for eating and packed lightly for lunch and snacks while I was working.  But at 3pm I was starving!  Since I was out & about, I bought half of a rotisserie chicken from Price Chopper and nommed on that!  Ahhh...so good!!  THEN!  Becca & I ended up eating dinner together at Chili's where thankfully they have lower calorie options.  I chose Margarita Grilled Chicken on a bed of black beans/rice/veggie bits.  YUMMO!  And only 550 calories for it all!  And not only that!!  I only ate HALF!!  :)  (remember that rotisserie chicken?)  So, although that wasn't planned either, I applaud myself for making healthy choices today.  And for remembering while I ate a few tortilla chips to slow down and enjoy them!  


So, here are some things from Pinterest I've pinned to my Healthy Inspiration board; I can't wait to make some of this food!  These Healthy Protein Bars are next!  
This smoothie is made with peanut butter, bananas, oatmeal and yogurt.  Sounds good!  


And THIS chocolate-y treat looks SOOO good!  It's made with only coconut milk & cocoa powder!  Both of which I have in my cupboard!  If I weren't so sore, I'd go make it right now!  (except it isn't planned for today, so I'll plan to make it tomorrow!)





And finally, I leave you with this:
