  • Sweet Dreams and Dreamy Oats

    Morning!  Despite having gone to bed at 10:30 last night, I was still exhausted when I woke up this morning!  I could barely make it out of bed, and had to do my least favorite thing - take a cab to Pilates class.  Grrr, it’s so anti-health to take a cab to the gym - I feel so guilty, but otherwise I’d be really late for class.  Class was okay - I got scolded for yawning.  I’m starting to feel really frustrated with my Pilates classes.  They’re pretty expensive (relatively) and I feel like I’m getting scolded and reprimanded rather than encouraged and corrected. Maybe it’s just the idea of Chelsea Piers floating in the back of my mind, but I’m concerned about this.

    Anyway, today was one of those mornings where I kept knocking my HRM against the reformer, so I’m just going to estimate.  Pilates class and walk = 400 calories burned.

    Before I left, I had two mini-muffins:

    Pre Workout Snack was 166 calories, 29g carbs, 5g fat, and 3g protein.

    This morning breakfast was normal banana oatmeal, but I used a 1/2c hemp milk with 1/3c water instead of a mix of water, milk, and hemp milk.  This resulted in really creamy, dreamy oats!

    Yum!  Unfortunately, I forgot the flax, boo.  I always forget the flax because it’s in the freezer.  Out of sight, out of mind.  Breakfast was 372 calories, 61g carbs, 12g fat, and 10g protein.

    After work today, if I have time, I may hit up Chelsea Piers to see about this swimming pool.  :) Peter is leaving for the long weekend tomorrow, so he wants to go to a fancy dinner tonight - my choice.  Anybody got any good downtown restaurant recommendations?

    You were colded for yawning in class??? I’d sooo be out of that pilates class, girl - that’s ridiculous! I don’t blame you for feeling frustrated.

    Oooh, those muffins look fabulous!!

    As familiar as I am with NYC, I’m still not clear on which is downtown and such, haha - but I have plenty of NYC restaurant recommendations, so feel free to comment on my blog (so I don’t miss the comment) if you want some dinner ideas!

    Thanks VG! They have Pilates reformer at Chelsea Piers too - I’m going to sample a class to see if I like the instructor style.
