I had a physical today - just an employment physical to make sure I won't keel over if I work in the district. I seemed to pass with flying colors with low blood pressure, able to lift and carry 50 lbs., I'm sure the drug urine test was passed, etc. I felt pretty confident in that I've been working out and eating pretty well for the past couple of months and I think that keeps my pulse rate low and my health good.
Eating flexitarian is kind of fun! I've made these delicious avocado/black bean wraps for lunch three times now and they are the perfect meal for me. Tonight we'll have some zucchini bean fritters! Last night it was grilled eggplant sandwiches with fresh tomatoes and arugula. Some of my favorite flavors in that one! A couple of days ago I made some lovely Vegetarian Rueben sandwiches with sauteed mushrooms and spinach - yummy! These lighter meals are hearty enough to satisfy me and I'm pretty certain they are bringing down my cholesterol levels...something I should re-check now that I'm more active and eating less flesh. Back to taking my fish oil to help in that regard! When we eat out, I do choose meat fare but at home we've been going veggie....it's a good balance for me.
Did a weight lifting class on Monday - WOW. I am beyond sore but it feels good to be working my muscles! I plan to do the class on a weekly basis. Also did kickboxing today and had a good workout. I checked out my vision board today and I'm pretty proud to have accomplished many of the items already - there is certainly no mistake in that. I need to do more yoga though - and I need to begin working to make a little extra cash in which to do the yoga, I think. Always more to do!
