I cheated on Tony this week.  Tony Horton and P90X, that is.

I got a taste of Chalene with Turbo Fire.  I LOVE it!  This week I did the Fire Starter video Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.  The fastest 37 minutes ever! I still loosely maintained my P90X schedule, doing Plyo and partial strength-training work-outs.  Friday I did some yoga with my students to help calm them down (it's that time of year!) and ran a mile with them at our 22nd Annual Fun Run.  This morning I'm heading out to do a 5K with my friend of nearly 32 years.

Cardio is what I have been missing.  I stepped on the scale today...2 pounds down from last weekend!!

I switched up some meals this week, too.  I made a quinoa tabouleh that made for an easy dinner side and lunch at work.  Thai lettuce wraps one night, (thank you for the great recipe, Jill...it was YUM!). Friday nights have become burger night here.  We used to do carry-out from various places on Friday nights, but since making the commitment to lose this weight in Januar, I've been making our own burgers.  I figured I have more control over the fat content and quality of the meat by splurging on lean ground sirloin from Whole Foods.  This week, though,  I opted for an organic marinated portobello mushroom burger on a whole wheat (lightly toasted/grilled) english muffin while the rest of the fam ate their burgers.  While the kids ate their baked fries, I had more tabouleh.  Mmmmmm!

Happy Memorial Day!
