Cinco de Mayo

HAPPY CINCO de MAYO!
For some reason, I always love holidays that involve drinks and food. New Year's Eve, Fat Tuesday, St.Patty's Day, Cinco de Mayo...



I love burritos and yes, I'll be eating Mexican food and drinking margaritas tonight. Since I knew this was going to be the case, I got up and worked out before work. I didn't want to get up at the butt-crack of dawn, so I did a circuit that was quick, but burned a lot of calories.

Lower Body Cardio Circuit

Warm-up: run, walk, or bike for 5 minutes

Squats x's 10
Plie' Squats x's 10
Lunges x's 10 (each leg)
Run 5 minutes
Repeat x 3
Prepare to sweat.

Now, go eat some burritos and save some Mexicans!

Cereal & Milk

I have a love hate relationship with cereal. It's so delicious, but I can't buy it. I can't buy it because I don't eat it for breakfast like normal people. I eat it for a snack or dessert and I can't stop with one bowl. I broke down this Sunday and bought 2 boxes. Today, Tuesday, both boxes are gone and I feel quite lethargic.

My favorite cereals are 2 kinds of Mom's Best Naturals.


Honey Grahams that taste like Golden Grahams


Toasted Cinnamon Squares that taste like Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Weighing in at around 300 calories per bowl when you add fat free milk, cereal can kill your calories. It sure has killed mine.

I went ahead and finished my last box today, so I don't have to worry about it. Great solution, I know.
