Hubby & I ended up hanging around the house all weekend. The weather was pleasant, a bit cooler during the day. I took some time to sit outside & read. And I puttered in the gardens a little. The birds were active. They were in the birdbath while I was sitting out on the patio. There were wrens on the front porch. I got a pic of what I think was a baby trying to get in the front door. He was squawking away!
I've kinda converted our Sunroom into my Yoga/ Exercise studio. I have my mat & hand weights in there. I can open the door & hear the river. The room is surrounded by trees on 2 sides. Yesterday I lit a candle & put on some Yoga music. I did my Yoga routine then did some toning exercises & a few arm lifts with my weights. I'm trying to get in the habit of doing a light workout on the days I don't go to the Gym. We haven't been walking in the afternoons, lately. I want to get back to that, too.
Today was Gym day with our trainer. Sammie really worked me again today. I was puffing a bit! I asked when I would be doing a body scan again & she said we could do one today. I'm happy I have lost some body fat but haven't achieved much muscle yet 😕 She told me to work on getting more protein. I have been trying to eat more and it has improved some. It's really tricky trying to balance my calorie levels & protein, too. I was happy my weight had decreased, but now I'm wondering if I should focus less on weight & eat a little more to be sure I'm getting the protein I need. She told Hubby the same thing.
We did some grocery shopping after the Gym. I needed fruit & veggies. I bought some endemame to roast for snacks, more Greek Yogurt, cheese. When we got home Hubby asked what he should eat for protein. I really want him to get more involved in figuring that out for himself. I make breakfast & dinner for the 2 of us, but he usually makes his own lunch. We like some different things & some of my favorites that he doesn't care for have protein. I did try reading lists of protein sources to him.
I made oatmeal for breakfast this morning cause we didn't have any Bagels. I need to make it more often & add stuff for protein.
I watched "So You Think You Can Dance" on Hulu this afternoon. It's interesting that this last season has had contestants with body types different than your traditional dancer's body type. Some of them were "meatier". One of the 3 finalists was a football player before he became more active with dancing. He is super strong! The lifts he did with his partner today were amazing...it was like she weighed nothing.
Well, need to wash the skillet from dinner then off to bed. 😴💤💤
