Implementing changes is not that easy, hopefully it will get better

So yesterday, my first day of changes didn't go that well. Its a little challenging to put my 4 y.o. daughter on the jogger with this weather. Even though yesterday the temperature was not bad I had an interview that took most of my day, so the running went down the drain. I did manage to keep my calories under control, but didn't get to cook because I need to go grocery shopping.

Today I am trying to do better, the ab ripper is down! I am proud to say that, you can always squeeze 16 minutes into your day ;). Now the challenge is what to eat, still haven't gone grocery shopping but I think I have enough on the house to make this yummy recipe from cooking light, check it out.





This is an awesome website to keep it healthy, all recipes have their nutritional information which helps to keep the calories under control.

My next challenge is to manage to get the run in, the weather is not bad so I might be able to get my little munchkin on the jogger and get going. For breakfast I had a Soy Chai and a multi-grain bagel with light cream cheese. I still haven't grabbed lunch but I am thinking of a yummy salad with italian dressing.

I will report on the running next, I still have to calibrate my Nike + wrist band which I finally figured out how to do. Hopefully, I can find a way to add my runs to the post. Nike has a cool little graphic that shows distance and pace =) Not that will be anything good, I haven't been running so its like starting from scratch.

It will be cool to document my training and follow my progress, I can't wait to see my pace drop down!

Bye for now!

See ya ;)

P.S. This is how my version of the recipe looked like. I used baby shrimp because that's what I had on the fridge and green peppers instead of red.

Enjoy!
