Day 18, this is why I'm hot.

The Florida heat. The yucky, hot, hotness that is the state of Florida. This is why I'm  hot today. It could also possibly be because I was so active today. 

Let's begin with food and we will get to the activity portion. 

Breakfast: 1 Yellow of whole grain cereal and 1 Purple of a sliced up Orange. 

For Brunch I made this Piece of heaven:

2 Reds of 4 egg omelette filled with 1 Green if scallions, tomatoes and spinach. Topped with 1/4 Purple of salsa and HOT SAUCE. Dude, this was soooo good. 

Little man and I had errands to run so I cleaned the house this morning, laundry, gave the dog a bath (which is physically demanding, He is 120lb Bloodhound), did errands and came home to hang for a bit before we went back out. Before leaving again I made a simple salad: 

1 Green of spinach, carrot and cucumber topped with balsalmic and coconut oil. 

While we were out I planned to drop my car off for brakes and oil change for about an hour. I figured I would walk with the kiddo to the nearby shopping center and just browse for an hour.... Well plan foiled, kind of. After an hour of waiting the mechanics called to let me know it would be another hour and a half. We had already walked to the shopping center. I  had the stroller. So I just kept going. There was a nearby state park with wildlife trails so we ventured over there. We walked a total of 4 miles (delayed mapmyfitness log by .6 miles). I tried to keep posture, pull in my abs and push faster and longer strides to stretch out and make my body work harder. Boy did it! By the time we got home at 4:30pm I was thoroughly exhausted.  

And famished. I ate this:

1 Yellow of 1/2 whole wheat English muffin and 3/4 Purple of chopped strawberries. I had to fight the urge to eat more. My body was screaming for carbs. I was all like, look here brain you tell that stomach it's full, ya hear! Then I chugged some water. My cravings disappeared. That's what you call rawr-some. 

A little later on I threw together a simple dinner: 

1 Green of spring mix lettuce and tomato topped with 1 Blue of Parmesan and 1 Red if chicken breast topped with, wait for it...

HOT SAUCE & MUSTARD! 

I know this sounds like a crazy combo but I have come to fully appreciate mustard. Being a former put-ketchup-on-everything addict I never paid good enough attention to this under appreciated and fairly healthy condiment. 

I'm sorry mustard. Forgive me? 

Alrighty then.

Tonight I did my Pilates Fix and included an extra 3 minutes of traditional crunches just for fun. 

Day 18 is over. 3 more measles days to go! I got this! 

Here's a good sweaty McSweaterson pic for ya!
