Protein, Anyone?

The gym was pure awesome today… I loved being able to take my time instead of rushing in and out of there like I normally do… On my way there I had half a Clif full sized PB bar…

When I got to the gym, I spent a good 30 minutes doing upper-body weights (primarily back, shoulders, and biceps)… then hit the spinning room with my brother for an intense 60 minute class… great workout… and burned 430 calories too   I tried not to push myself TOO hard today, so that I will be functioning for tomorrow’s 90 minute class (same teacher is teaching too – yay!)…

When I got home, I really wanted eggs after reading so many of your blogs containing them lately… I used one of the egg poachers that we received from our shower (we got 2)… the egg poacher is a microwavable one that apparently does not know how to work properly in our microwave because after a minute in the microwave, it popped open and spilled out all over the place… luckily, I was able to salvage them… I should have taken a picture, but I was in a state of panic trying to clean out the microwave and didn’t think

I made a toasted english muffin and also cooked up some Smart Bacon on the side to make a delicious “breakfast” sandwich… I couldn’t resist adding the hot sauce – mmmm, just too good!  I forgot how much I love eggs…

After I ate this, I decided to try the new flavor of Stonyfield Yogurt that I picked up… Chocolate underground… I never had chocolate yogurt before but have always wanted to try it simply because it is CHOCOLATE!  Being that I had some PB granola on hand, I decided to make a pb cup parfait (minus the fruit though!)…

This was delicious, but I don’t necessarily know if I’ll buy it again… I think for yogurts I prefer them to be fruity-flavored (with the exception of the maple flavor) and not necessarily this sweet (kind of shocked by looking at the nutritionals while I ate it:  170 cals & 39 g of sugar ?!?!)… but it did make for a good dessert…

Now I’m off to go veg-out and relax… oh and I have to fold the laundry that I completely forgot about until now – ooops!

For those of you traveling tomorrow, have a great 4th of July!
