Cardio, check

Day one of goal for the week.  I did my 20 min. of cardio on the elliptical and got a decent sweat on.  Still taking it a little easy on the ribs and not kicking it hard, but I felt a little better about it all.  I didn’t feel any worse so that’s a good sign.  I’d also taught the seniors class in the morning so I was worried it may be too much by the end of the day.  Hopefully I’m on the major road to being over this!

No Cheese

I’d really like to know just how many calories I’m taking off some of my favorite foods because I can’t have cheese.

I’m wondering this as I sit here at the ski lodge having the most wonderful veggie pizza with, of course, no cheese.  It’s loaded with sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, grilled peppers and more plus a red sauce.  I’ve only had 1/2 the 9″ pizza and I’m full, there’s so much on it!

I know it depends on how much each person/chef tops a pizza with, but I feel really good about my choice of foods right now.  Pizza and no guilt!  Good combo! lol

Cardio Goal

This week I’m setting a cardio goal of 5 days.  That’s a minimum of 20 minutes of good cardio, not slacking and talkign to others cardio.  I’m going to be good and not do weights and I can’t even dream of doing abs yet.  But I can do cardio on the elliptical and summit trainer.  Jogging is still questionable, but by mid-week I’m going to try.  I am hoping to get up on the mountain this weekend for ski lessons, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
