Pumpkin Crazy

Hey gang,

Today has been one of those quietly busy days. D and I got so much done, but it felt so relaxing at the same time!

My breakfast didn't stay with me very long. About 3 hours after I ate my breakfast cookie, I chowed down into a small bowl of cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

I poured a little sugar free maple syrup over the top.

Then lunch came about an hour later.

Leftover potatoes (102 grams) with ketchup (1 T)

and the same lunch I ate yesterday.

It was pretty darn tasty. Right after this, D and I got going on our errands. We went to Sears to get a fan for our bedroom. Then we dropped D's car off to get new tires put on. And after that, we hit the gym. I did a biceps and back workout.

• 21's - 30 pounds, 3 sets
• bent over row - 40 pounds, 3 sets of 12
• hammer curls - 12 pound dumbbells, 3 sets of 20
• lat pull downs - 70 pounds, 3 sets of 12
• back extensions - 3 sets of 25
• seated close grip row - 50 pounds, 3 sets of 12

My stats looked something like this:

Time - 40 minutes

Calories burned - 169

Max heart rate - 142

Average heart rate - 110

Usually I would be disappointed with the lack of calories I burned, but I didn't want to push too hard with my hips in the state they're in.  

As soon as we came home, I devoured this bowl of food. 

• 1/2 cup cottage cheese 
• 2/3 cup plain yogurt 
• 2 T pumpkin puree 
• 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder 
• cinnamon 
• nutmeg 

Can you tell I love pumpkin?

Dinner was alright tonight - not amazing. 

Chicken Caesar Salad

• 4 cups romaine 
• 5.5 ounces chicken breast 
• 7 grams croutons 
• 1 1/2 T caesar salad dressing 
• lots of lemon juice

I usually don't even like caesar salad, but I've been craving summer foods lately (e.i. burgers last night). 

I'm still hungry... what shall I eat, what shall I eat? I'm not sure yet. 

Have a great night everyone :)
