Whole 30 Day 9: Thanks Jillian Michaels

Due to the continuation of our nasty weather I woke at 6:15 on Day 9 to go downstairs and workout. Unfortunately, I also woke to the news that Parker's school had been canceled due to freezing rain. Lame. Although my hopes of going to the Commissary with only one kid and not two were dashed, I still trudged downstairs to workout. I was tempted to turn on the Wii to do one of the workout "games" I have for that, but I have consistently been disappointed with the workouts. So, I decided to use our fancy new Blu-Ray player's WiFi and log into our Amazon Prime Instant Video and find something good. One of the first workouts that came up was Jillian Michaels "Banish Fat Boost Metabolism". It is a 40 minute circuit workout with about 6 different circuits with 4 moves per circuit. It kicked my butt. I almost didn't finish it, but funnily enough what got me through was reminding myself I will need to have perseverance to finish the W30 and had to practice that perseverance by finishing the workout. It was awesome and I will definitely be doing it again.

Breakfast: Eggs over leftover sausage, peppers, and onions from egg muffin prep. After the workout this breakfast was great!

Lunch: Leftover Zoodles with Meat Marinara and half an apple

Dinner: AMAZING! I made Nom Nom Paleo's Super Easy Roast Chicken With Caramelized Shallots. As advertised it was very easy and delicious. I used two packages of chicken thighs so I have lots of leftovers. I made noodles for Ben and the kids to go with the chicken. I also sauted up some green beans with onions in some bacon fat. 

Now off to the weekend. I will admit the weekends are my biggest struggle because of the temptation to have the glass of wine and some off-plan food. But I will persevere (word of the day) and I already have a trip to Trader Joe's planned to stock up on more freeze-dried fruit.
