Back in May 2011 I had posted an article on my blog from Men's Health Magazine, titled 7 Fast-Food Meals Under 350 Calories. Well this past weekend, I made use of the article...it only took almost a year! Here is a link to the article: http://eatthis.menshealth.com/slideshow/7-fast-food-meals-under-350-calories#sharetagsfocus
Some of the fast food restaurants on the article I don't visit. But the one that I do visit and absolutely adore is Taco Bell! I hate to say it, but every now and again, I do have a taste for those crunch tacos or chicken quesadilla! On Sunday night I wanted something to eat, but didn't want anything to heavy since for lunch I ate wing stop! So I went to Taco Bell to try the suggested 2 Chicken Fresco Tacos for 340 calories. So I got two of the tacos and a small Sierra Mist.
The Tacos actually were not bad. I liked them. I missed have cheese on my tacos, but I guess some things must be sacrificed for 340 calories. The tacos themselves are not very filling. If I had eaten these for lunch, I would have definitely still be starving. But since it was later in the day, and I already had a big meal, the 2 tacos did the trick.
Overall a good deal! I welcome any fast food restaurant trying to give us healthier options. It is nice to have a healthy choice. After all when it comes down to it, getting healthier and eating healthier...is a choice!

Weekend in Review...
Weekends come and go so fast. I hate that the weekends must end.
Well this weekend was good. I got to Spin class on Friday and did another RYBO stage 4 workout on Friday. Saturdays Spin Class was really good, very challenging but I enjoyed it. She had us on the bikes for the whole hour! Most of the other spin teachers just do 45 or 50 mins. Overall I am loving the spin classes better at Bodies in Motion over 24 Hour Fitness. I really enjoy spinning...I gotta try to see if I can still ride a bike. I would love to be on the beach riding a bike during the summer!
I had an sweet indulgence this weekend! Strawberry Cheesecake! It was delicious and it hit the spot! This was courtesy of Marie Callendar's! The cheesecake made up for the bad food. I was not impressed with the food that night!
I made it out this weekend to see this Gospel Play called Midnight Cry! It was really good! Probably the best Gospel Play I have seen to date. http://wilshireebelltheatre.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/midnight-cry-4-28-121.jpg They are touring the country so if it comes to your town, you should check it out. It is definitely worth it!
Well this week I did more physical activity than I have in a long long time! I feel it in my body. I am not sore, but I am just tired! But I know it is just the beginning stages of getting myself back into better shape. Well that is all for tonight.

Recouping Thursday...
Today was an okay day. I slept so wonderfully last night! I was slept so well, I went to bed at about 9:30pm on Wednesday and got up at 5:10am Thursday morning. I slept soundly throughout the night. Didn't even hear my alarm which is set to go off at 4am go off! I felt rested, but rushed. So my day started a bit rushed.
I also woke up with a hunger like you wouldn't believe. So breakfast was a bit monsterous for me today, and so was lunch for that matter! Dinner was light..thankfully!
Today was the first training session for the Cycle for LA's Best fundraising event. The training session was held at the David Barton Gym in Santa Monica. I was so confused, it was a bit hard to get to for my first time. Not too many signs and I parked in the wrong place, so part of it was my own error. But this gym looks newer and nicer than the gym in Century City! I made my way to the Spin Room and well the bikes...not so great. They are old, rusted and they had a mixture of Schwinn bikes with the Spinner NXT bikes. The first bike I got one creaked (is that a word) when I would stand on it. So I switched to another bike. I loved the set up of this spin room, I had never been in a spin class where the bikes were on tiered levels. That was kinda cool to experience. The room though was hot. I don't do well with heat. I had just about already broke out into a sweat just adjusting the bike it was so hot! I wonder if they have air conditioning. Anywho the class itself was great. The instructor Chelsea, was very good. Very involved! I like her! The next training session is on Saturday and the fundraising event is actually on May 5th.

Okay so on to the food eating for the day...
Breakfast:
Smoothie (frozen berries, 2 drops full of Liver Detox, 1 tablespoon Pysllium Husk, Apple juice)
4 hard boiled eggs (yikes)
Regular White chocolate Latte (normally I would get the large, so this is a downsize for me)
Cheese Danish
No Mid Morning Snack - after all I ate for breakfast there was no need to eat anything else.
Lunch
Chicken
Salad w/ salsa for dressing
Chicken Pasta Salad
No Mid Afternoon Snack
Dinner
Couple pieces of left over chicken from lunch
Workout:
45 minutes of Indoor Cycling
I think that may be it for tonight. Maybe another cup of detox tea before going to bed..but I think I will lay low for th rest of the night.
