That was my blood sugar! I knew something was up when I was reaching to fix my food that my hands were shaking pretty badly and I start to sweat – not a pretty picture!
Luckily I munched on an apple I had at my desk to quickly bring it up and it worked. 😀
I know its only been two days in a row – but I am so happy I worked out! After watching Biggest Loser I really realized that I don’t push myself anywhere near what they do – hence my inability to lose these 30 pounds I am carrying around!
So today I did 30 minutes of elliptical on hill climb up to level 16 and I really worked hard on that – then I did sprints on the exercise bike for 10 and then 5 mintues of much needed stretching after my lunges yesterday. Go me!
Before I worked out I cooked my spaghetti squash in the microwave for 10 minutes, and then just left it on the counter while I worked out. When I got back I just mixed the squash with leftover marinara from last night and 1 ounce of shrimp, 1 ounce of Italian sausage and the last two slices of my beloved Panera sesame semolina bread with 1/2 tablespoon Smart Balance Light:
Okay, lunch break is over – come back tonight for Bacon Marinated Pork Roast and Mystery Potatoes!
Yikes! That’s a big low! Glad you recovered okay, and way to go on the workout!!!
Mmmmm…bacon marinated pot roast? Sounds so yummy!
Ooh you gonna need you some food before you work out! How low can you go?!!! Good for you for execising. I go for a stress test next week and after that I should be good to go- fingers crossed. I have acid reflux but they want to make for certain that it is not my heart.
About the corn beef. The one we had at supper club was from costco and was delicious. I got one from trader joe’s that is uncured so no nitrites or nitrates and it was good but I felt it needed salt which is easy to fix! You may have to go on word of mouth for what your local grocer has. Price may mean nothing but then again you get what you pay for?? The great thing about it all is the leftovers, reubens, hash, etc!
Thanks Robin Sue! What’s weird is that my blood sugar was 181 before I worked out, so I thought I would be okay!
The best thing about bloggers is that regardless of how a wreck you were with LBS you syill took a picture!
I know, right?!
WOW..watch out for that falling blood sugar, I get the same way from time to time when I am at work. Keep up the good work with your exercising.
Yikes! That’s not good – glad you got it back up 🙂 Congrats on the workout! Yum…spaghetti squash!!
Sounds like a great workout!
Can’t wait to see your “mystery potatoes”
Your food looks yummy as always.
I always have a pre-workout protein smoothie when I know I’m going to have a long hard workout that way I don’t get shaky.
Way to go on pushing yourself. I love the biggest loser.
Tony does not like the sound of “mystery” potatoes.
I’m thawing a pork roast for tomorrow or Friday’s dinner – so can’t wait for tonight’s post! Mystery potatoes — ooo, sounds exciting!
I get tired just reading about your workouts. My thighs are STILL sore and horribly achy from Sunday’s flood and having to crawl in and out of the crawlspace a bunch. I’m pathetic.
Oh wow, is it hard to manage your blood sugar? I don’t know of anyone with diabetes.
Sounds like a great workout!!

Plus the theme song rocks 🙂
Wow, nice workout! Biggest Loser is motivating in so many ways – to take advantage of what we have, and think about the future. I love it.
Great job on the workout! Can’t wait until tonight’s recipe!
