Birthday Thursday!

Happy birthday to: Me! Houdini! Peyton Manning! And, Alyson Hannigan!

Today is my big fat 28th birthday. I'm not old yet...I have 2 more years. BUT! I am pretty happy with today! Well, more like yesterday. Let me recap:

I came home and got my workout on. It was the plyometric cardio circuit. It was intense, but great. I burned 408 calories in 41 minutes. No complaints here! That's an average of nearly 10 calories a minute! I followed my workout with a solid dinner --> George Foreman gilled chicken, 1 tomato (sliced, eaten raw, yum!), sauteed zuchinni, and steamed rice. And of course, a glass of chocolate milk. I have found I prefer that to a protein smoothie after a workout. I drink a protein smoothie in the morning to increase my breakfast calorie count and hold me over til close to lunch time before getting hungry.

Today is cardio recovery day so it shouldn't be too intense. Since I skipped cardio abs earlier in the week, I'm planning to tack it on to the end of the cardio recovery. All in all it should be a fabulous workout. Since I don't really know anyone in the area yet, dinner will be in...it will be leftover chicken, steamed cabbage (yum!), rice, and either (homemade) honey glazed carrots or a sliced tomato. Decisions, decisions.

Hope your day is fabulous! Happy Birthday Thursday to Me!
