Rodney and I took a trip to Eastern Market in DC yesterday and got all kinds of good for you food (and some not so good for you snacks for the ride home). I'm impressed that we were able to spend so little and get so much. So unlike the regular grocery store. We will definitely keep that up this year. I can't wait for the summer when more of the fruits will be in season. Although, the blackberries and blueberries we got look delicious!
Here's a picture of what I ate for dinner tonight. The chicken came from Market Poultry at Eastern Market. Baked chicken with diced tomatoes, with a side of brown rice, a side of greens, and light Cranberry juice to drink (along with a huge cup of water!). Talk about yummy deliciousness!
Rodney and I will start Crossfit workouts next week, hopefully. But I'm starting to do some Crossfit type workouts on my own just to up the anty on my fitness. The one I did tonight was KILLER. I warmed up by run/walking 1 mile, then did 5 push-ups, 5 squats, and 5 sit-ups for 10 rounds. (Was supposed to be 20, but a sista was TIRED!)
I plan on doing this for the rest of the week, to see 1) how my ankle does, and 2) to see the effect it has on my weight loss. As for my diet, I'm cutting back on the carbs (but not cutting them out totally...I don't want to end up in the ER again) and the amount of fruit I eat, as well as upping my protein. My veggies intake is pretty good anyway, so I've just got to keep that up.
Please continue to check my blog out for pictures from the first Crossfit session, and just the randomness of my life. I'm sure you'll be thoroughly entertained.
