Sorry it’s been a few days. I’m a busy lady!

Remember when I set the 3000 calorie day goal? I hit it on Monday. And I burned almost 2/3 of those calories before lunch! I went for a hike at Percy Warner Park. According to my Fitbit, the hike included climbing the equivalent of 35 flights of stairs. Let me tell you– my quads agreed! It was beautiful though, and when download the pictures from my phone I’ll post a few. If you’re in the Nashville area, you absolutely should make some time to hike at Percy Warner, minimally once a month. It’s beautiful all year long.

In addition to the hike on Monday, I had a fabulous reformer class and made my family a yummy, healthy supper: Tequilla Lime Shrimp. I used olive oil instead of butter. To go with it, I made black bean corn salsa by combining a can of black beans, a cup of corn, a can of tomato sauce and some spices in the blender.  The family voted, we all loved it.

I got up late this morning and didn’t confirm my fitbit synched before I left, so I don’t have my data to share, but i can tell you this: I have been over my goal for calories to burn each day this week, and other than yesterday, in my happy window as far as calories to consume. Yesterday I ate at a restaurant that I can’t get the data for, so I feel like I was okay, but i don’t want to say for sure I was. It’s okay though: balance is one of the Pilates principals, and having one day of indulgence doesn’t undo previous work.  It’s all about balance.
