Inspired from Biggest Loser Couples

I am watching Biggest Loser Couples right now and they are saying that this is the heaviest Biggest Loser season they have ever had. It makes me so sad to see people younger than I am at 450 pounds. I am happy for them that they are getting help that they need but it is disturbing that these people are just a sample of what America looks like these days. Seeing these things just inspires me more to be as healthy as I can be and be lucky that I am where I am in terms of my health!

But anyway, to recap today’s healthiness..

I knew I was going to crash later in the day due to lack of sleep last night so I maaade myself go to workout before that happened. I walked on the treadmill for about 13 minutes (10 mins 4.0mph, 3 mins 4.2mph) and then did a Anusara yoga class. I did a shoulder stand! Cool! I didn’t walk at the end of the class like I had intended because the class ran late and ended up being a solid hour and 15 mins. And I was starving and ready for LUNCH!

I had leftovers: green salad with homemade thousand island dressing, baked tofu, roasted brussel sprouts, and a mini cup of lentil soup that had chicken and pasta in it. Along with Cooking Light and some H2O.

I still felt a little empty and hungry so I had a Pink Lady:

Then I began feeling tired and achey so I turned to my new tea and new thermos that I wanted to try. It had a little caffeine which, by that point, I needed.

  

I snacked on this guy at around 3:15. I loved it! it had a lot of flavors going on and left a tang in my mouth from the ginger.

More Yogi…

Dinner was spaghetti squash that I cooked for about 50 minutes at 350 degrees with some leftover homemade pasta sauce. This sauce has marinara, vegetables, ground turkey and chicken sausage but I tried to just get the sauce and veggies and I added chick peas instead of having the meat. Along with steamed spinach, and 3 chips with homemade guac and salsa.

My Dad’s hand holds 4 cherries that I ate! Hey Dad.

For Dessert I “baked” (in the microwave) an Asian Pear. I chopped it, put it in a bowl with about a 1/2c water, and microwaved it for about 3 minutes. I added cinnamon and soy whipped cream. It was GREAT and was the perfect healthy dessert to eat while being inspired by Biggest Loser.

After watching Oprah’s Best Life series Day Two today, talking about how thankful we should be for what our bodies do for us, and now watching the Biggest Loser, I know I am thankful for my body and my health. Off to finish watching… night!
