Eat, Sleep, Train... that's my life or it feels like it is

It's been quite a week and haven't updated much because I haven't done much! Last Thursday, I came down with the stomach flu, it was horrible and I thought I was going to die (not really but it was bad). I was really, really sick on Thursday and Friday and Saturday and Sunday were pretty much used as recovery days although I did still have an upset stomach that lasted 6 days total thru the whole thing.

Monday, I finally went back to the gym and did a spin class and a 30 minute core class. I am still sore from the core class as I sit here and write this and it's Wednesday! I also did some pull ups on the assisted pull up machine too. I burned 1000 calories on Monday.

Monday evening, we got hit with a major ice storm and since I live 30 minutes from my gym, I knew I wasn't going to be going in on Tuesday. I planned ahead and did about 45 minutes on the elliptical and did about an hour of p90x yoga. I wanted to do more yoga but it was challenging with a 2 year old under me as I was trying to downward dog. :) I also did a lot of running around that day, I cooked a yummy broccoli cheese soup...

1 can cream of celery
1 can cream of chicken
about 15 oz of chicken broth
32 oz bag of frozen potatoes, carrots, celery and onion
about an additional cup of chopped celery
half of a large block of velveeta cheese
(place all in a pot and once soupy, I pureed all the veggies with my cuisinart hand held mixer) then add a bag of frozen chopped broccoli

I also made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and some peanut butter chip cookies to calm my nerves during the ice storm. Listening to the second round of ice hitting the windows after we already had about an inch of ice probably was nerve wracking and feared we were going to lose power. Also, my husband was out working the roads thru all of this and I was also worried about him so I'm sure I burned some calories just from stressing out! HA HA But I burned 550 calories during my workouts on Tuesday.

Today, after the 2nd round of the ice storm, we were "iced" in and had gusting 35mph winds and I hear that the roads are still very bad so we planned to stay in. I was having a hard time getting motivated today, I was able to lose 2 lbs before I had the flu and then after the flu, I was able to keep off 5 but today, the 3 came back on and I'm only down 2 lbs. :( So today being home with Wes, I did workouts when I could. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical earlier. Then I looked back at my p90x legs workout and did that, then I eventually did the p90x abs and did another 30 minutes on the elliptical, all while cleaning a little here and there and playing with Wes. I feel like I had a more productive day yesterday but oh well. Throughout all of that, I burned 750 calories. So I'm up to 1550 for the week, at this time last week, I had already made my goal (which was good since I had the flu), I'm definitely going to have to workout tomorrow, Friday and Saturday to make it and hopefully I will! It's definitely very hard to workout at home and I'm hoping I can get to the gym tomorrow but will just have to see. I do at least have the kenpo x workout so I can at least do that tomorrow and I will definitely be back in the gym on Friday.

How are all of your goals going for the week?
