I worked out with my trainer in the late morning, and it ended up being a lifting circuit. It wasn't nearly as intense as yesterday's circuit, but still ended up being a great overall body day. While I was working out she had mentioned that yesterday she made 2 of her other clients after me do the same circuit and neither were able to finish! It was really good to hear that, especially since I have been feeling like I've been struggling with my workouts. (Now that I am getting decent sleep, and eating enough before my workouts, they aren't as hard - also the gym has been a little cooler which is really helpful as well).
I went to the store after my workout to look for some liquid stevia. My trainer mentioned that she has a toffee flavored stevia and I thought that sounded absolutely amazing. I did not find it, unfortunately, but I did remember I wanted to grab some frozen strawberries. While in the frozen fruit section I happened to see frozen dark chocolate covered bananas and frozen dark chocolate covered strawberries. I HAD to get them haha. What's cool is they separate it into serving sizes for you, and they are really not bad for you at all. I opened one packet of each and had half of both packets. They were sooooo good. I love love love the chocolate covered bananas. I actually think I'm going to start making some for myself, instead of buying the kind that's already made, and I'll save them for my dessert portion of my cheat meal.
My trainer had me down a total of 3 pound since I last weighed in with her. I was only down one pound according to my scale. Definitely better than nothing, but I'm looking forward to a bigger loss, if that ever happens again. For my evening Isagenix shake I added about a cup of frozen strawberries, and it was yummy! If you are a fan of chocolate covered strawberries, I would highly suggest it. Side note, I tried the E+ Energy Shot, and that was about the NASTIEST thing I've ever put in my mouth. I feel so sick, and seriously would like to puke. Blech blech blech blech!!! It says it's "Apple Pomegranate" flavor, so why in the world do I taste mint?!?!?! I am not a mojito person, I don't like fruit with mint. So if that's something you enjoy, give it a try, but if that's not something you like, seriously skip it. Nastiness.
