12.28.09: Workouts and Banana Pudding Trifle Recipe

I did GREAT with my w/o's over the Christmas holiday. I did HORRIBLE w/ my food. We ate, and ate, and ate, and ate some more! Its been an eat-fest since Wednesday. So I gained FIVE lbs!!! I hope I can lose it as fast as I gained it. Despite my tough w/o's Im still up. So yes, unfortunately eating is the biggest part of the weight loss equation (~85%) and exercise a much much much smaller percentage (~15%).


Got in a lunchtime walk!

Today's Workout:
-Ultimate Fat Burning Workout
- Exercise TV: Quick & Incredible Abs (Cindy's segment)
*total w/o time-60 min + stretch


Sunday's Workout:

-Firm Rock Solid Cardio
-Firm Ab Scuplt (5 minutes)
*total w/o time- 35 min + strech


Sunday was supposed to be my rest day but since I ate enough in the past 5 days to last me a month, I figured I could use all the extra calorie burn I could get.

Saturday's Workout:
-Wave Promo DVD
-Firm Speed Slimming Sculpt (express version)
*total w/o time- 60 min + stretch

The Wave promo dvd is what they sent us before the infomercial with the wooden Wave we got. Its the best Wave w/o out there IMO! I was initially disapointed w/ the real dvds that came w/ the Wave set, but they have grown on me. I was expecting more since the promo dvd was tougher I expected this set to be too-I was wrong. BUT like I said, they have grown on me. The more I do them-the better they get. With practice I can also use my normal poundage on the Wave and get a great w/o. In fact today was supposed to be a strength day but my buns are still sore from Sat so I did cardio.

Friday's (Christmas) Workout:
-Firm Ultimate Calorie Blaster
*total w/o time 45 min + stretch


Today's Recipe: Banana Pudding Trifle
We had this on Christmas and it was DELICIOUS! YUMMMMM.

1 package (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix (sugar free, fat free)
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (fat free)
2 cups whipped topping (fat free coolwhip)
34 vanilla wafers (reduced fat)
3 large firm bananas sliced

In a large bowl, combine pudding mix, water and milk; beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Chill for 5 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping. Spoon 1 cup pudding into trifle bowl. Top with 1/2 of the wafers and 1 banana. Repeat twice, ending with pudding. Chill. Garnish with cookies and banana slices.

Today's Tip: Spinach
Spinach may very well be the queen of greens: Have 1 cup and you'll get more than a day's worth of vitamin K, and a dose of potassium (regulates blood pressure) and manganese (strengthens bones). Skip nutritionally marginal iceberg lettuce and go for this nutrient-loaded green instead when tossing your salad.
