Just so you know, I’m totally rocking out on these training sessions (minus one missed, bummer!) Kevin mentioned last night that I was starting to complain but I made sure he understood there was a huge difference in me complaining while doing the workout and me complaining to get out of the workout. Point being, I was complaining but still doing the workout – I’ll take that as a victory on my part. (and in my defense, I really only complain every 4th workout…gotta pace myself!)
How about you? Do you allow yourself to complain?
Eat Your Greens
Well, this is what the doctor told Carlos anyways. Apparently he has low iron – which I suspect most of the population has. Because no way most of us get our greens in. Except if you are on the green monster train like Dori is. That little lady gets her greens in every morning in a liquid form – I haven’t jumped on this “green monster” train yet, have you?
ANYWAYS…Iggy must have overheard Carlos and I talking about how important it is to eat enough leafy green stuff and decided he probably should too. Yesterday morning, I was at work & Carlos was taking a shower.
Iggy took a flying leap and scaled the couch. He then proceeded to take one final jump onto the arm rest where he found his version of greens.
NOW…if your freakin’ out like I did, calm down – Iggy is okay! Carlos came down and scared the bejesus outta him (cause apparently Peace Lilly’s are toxic or posionis to dogs.) Luckily Iggy didn’t eat enough to do anything. AND, I think Carlos mentioned something about only the white part being posionus? After Carlos left for work, I came home mid-morning to check on Iggy. He was and is fine – didn’t skip a beat!
Either way, I had a serious talk with Iggy to let him know he is NOT included in the “get your greens” club.
And yep, we moved the plant higher!
No Soup For you!
Ya’ll on board there? You know the Seinfeld episode? No Soup for you?! Hello? Anyone there?
Okay, well actually there is soup for you. Where else but the soup isle! About a month ago I was strolling along doing my grocery shopping when a pretty blue label stuck out amongst the red labels.
We all now most broth based soups are pretty low-cal but Campbell’s has introduced a new line of “light” soups. 
Attracked to anything low-cal (good bad, take your pick) I filled my cart with one of every kind! They offer lots of flavors ranging from 70-80 calories a serving!
- Vegetable Orzo
- Chicken Gumbo
- Chicken Mushroom Barley
- Chicken with White & Wild Rice
- Italian Style Wedding
I was not hesitant. I fully trusted Campbell‘s. And the best part, you can have a whole can and have a super low count! Dinner last night consisted of…
Soup Disclaimer: Most canned soup are very high in sodium. This is true for the Campbell’s Light soup too. Some sodium is good, the body actually needs sodium. But too much will cause a person to retain water weight. So although soup can fill you up and be low cal, diets based solely on soup isn’t probably a good idea – well, in my non-educated, i.am.not.a.doctor opinion anyways.
