Eliptical - cross trainer session: 65min; 4.75mi; 665cal.
It was high intensity and moderate intensity at times...low is 6 AP's and high is 15 AP's. I guess i'll just give myself 6 AP's even though I know I worked much harder than 6 AP's...maybe i'll give myself 9-10 AP's instead. Who cares, I still worked out! So far i've earned 15 AP's this week and I'm going to eat all of them, whoo whoo!
Post Work-Out Meal - Cold Asian Noodle Salad = 10P+
I doubled the sauce bc I was really hungry and needed it to coat the extra veggies.
Measure 2 oz raw soba noodles, then cook per package directions. Rinse cooked noodles in cold water.
2/3 long cucumber, chopped
1/4 red bell pepper
1 cup spinach, loosley chopped
Sauce - 5P+ (love this!)
2.5 TSP soy sauce
2 TSP peanut oil
1 TSP sesame oil
2 TSP honey
1/2 - 3/4 TSP lime
1/4 TSP crushed garlic
1/4 TSP grated ginger
hot pepper flakes
Mix sauce, and then mix everything together.
This meal is very filling, I love the oils mixed together. It's a different kind of full-feeling in a good way, it's because of the oils.
