Another day, another dollar. This morning I woke up at 6:25, which is early (for me) and went to my Tuesday/Thursday Pilates Reformer class. Today marks the end of the third week of classes (classes last for a month at a time), and I think I’ll sign up for next month’s session as well. I’ve definitely noticed improvements in both my strength and flexibility, so I think it’s worth waking up early for those benefits. I have to wake up especially early because the classes aren’t at the gym across the street, they’re at the gym an avenue and 8 blocks away. Grr.
Before I left this morning I had a slice of Ezekial 4:9 Cinnamon Raisin bread with a tablespoon peanut butter:
Pre Workout Snack is 175 calories, 21g carbs, 9g fat, and 7g protein.
Pilates was pretty good this morning. Today we mainly worked on strength and lengthening exercises. The instructor said we would feel like we were on a stretching machine afterwards - and I definitely do! My hips especially feel really great - all loosey goosey! Unfortunately I must have bumped my HRM during my workout because I went to check it halfway through, and it was turned off! I’ll just estimate my calorie burn from past classes.
Pilates class and walk = 390 calories burned.
At work I had my usual breakfast of Old Fashioned Oatmeal, banana, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, flax and walnuts during my morning meeting:
Breakfast is 380 calories, 59g carbs, 12g fat, and 14g protein.
See you for lunch!

The cinnamon raisin bread is amazing! Reminds me of cinnamon toast from my childhood. It was a total find, though - I’ve only seen it in one Whole Foods.

You’re killing me with the Ezekiel bread. I love that stuff, but I gave up the grains - allergies
Aw bummer, DR! It is delicious.
