Yesterday was a much needed break. Had my first nursing exam in Clinical Foundations and felt I needed to compensate for my misery by making a batch of brownies. Not just ANY brownies though. First of all, brownies are a great way to get your MUFA's in. Did you know that? MUFA's btw....are mono unsaturated fatty acids. Healthy fats. They are found in healthy oils, such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, and (my fav) dark chocolate. So these brownies you see, are not only a source of MUFA's (I used Ghiradelli dark chocolate), but I also threw in a batch of fresh raspberries!!!!! Makes em so good! Even my "non-fruit eating" child loves them. The best thing I like about MUFA's is that they battle belly fat. So I try to incorporate them into every meal ;-)
Today was NO BREAK at all. Did my usual morning power walk with my pal Connie and when I got home from school I did DAY 1 of LEVEL 3 of 30 Day Shred. All I can say is WOW!!!!! In level 3 Jillian introduces a lot of metabolic increasing jumping moves. I hung in there like a champ.....but afterwards, my poor legs felt like jello!!!!! Still feeling great! Ready to go jean shopping as my currents ones are too loose in the waist and arse.....(doing happy dance!)
Those of you who follow my blog....Thank you. And don't forget to consume your MUFA's!
