Ok today went well. I woke up later than I wanted to. I tried to make excuses that since I woke up later that I didn't want to go to the gym, but it wasn't meant to be that way. I log on and every post that I read from some of my journey buddies seemed to be scream "GO TO THE GYM!!" Ok I read funny anyway.
Now when I say late some will think I am crazy to say that late for a "gym before work" day is 5:30 but when I use to get up at 4:30 and AT the gym by 5 this was sleeping in. Even tough I hit it later than I had planned I still got in a good workout.
I spent one hour on the bike and logged 10 miles. Hit the weight room for some abdominals and and leg curls, laying an sitting. That wiped out another 30 minutes. No I didn't just one of each lol
Then it was off to the pool. Only and hour there ... no wait I swam for AN Hour!! :D
I hadn't been swimming in a while, not for more than 20-30 min anyway. To think I have swam for two hours before and didn't feel as beat as I did today. I REALLY gotta get back on track. About 25 minutes into the swim my arms started feeling it. It felt a lil like when I first started at the gym a year ago. That day I went home and my arms felt like a lead pipe hanging from my shoulders. Today wasn't that bad, but I did start to feel it before I was done.
Since I didn't have to be at work till 11:00 I had time to come home an eat. Bet ya can't guess what I had ;D ... ok ok eggs and wheat toast. I really need to change that but it's so easy and quick to get done. Any suggestions? aahhm healthy ones?
I had planned on trying to walk on my lunch break but by that time my ankle was still bothering me from the work out this morning. It bites that only 20-30 min into my bike ride it started bothering me. Fun thing is I didn't even try to talk myself outta stopping. (yeah me) If anything I went harder. Maybe that is why it was still bothering me at lunch. So instead I had some much needed phone work I had to catch up on. I know work on the phone at my J.O.B and still HAVE to do more on my lunch break for me. eeeyiiyiyiyiyi.
Lunch I did well then too. I took my lunch ... yes you read that correctly, its not a typo ... I made a plate last night of the meatloaf, greens and mixed veggies. The only real downfall of the day was on my late break. I don't know if it was that I was disgusted about a few things at that point or if I really was hungry like I told myself I was. I hit the vending machine and had a bag of Nacho Doritos. I didn't think I felt guilt about it but maybe I do, since I wrote it that way.
Today was the late shift and didn't get off till 8:00 and I was a bit hungry. I had a some roasted chicken. aahhmm about 4 wings, one leg and a few bites of a breast ... I love it ... it sounds like a lot but those really are small pieces, not excuses there.
oh wait ... I didn't mention that on my way to the gym I grabbed some of the sausage balls I made last night. I don't know if they are good or bad for ya but I like um on special occasions.
Now here I sit trying to decide if I want to listen to the grumbly feeling in my tummy or if I want to call it a night and just go to bed early. It would be a much easier decision if I wasn't waiting for my daughter to get off work, that'll take me to about 11:30-12 if I last that long.
water .... Water ... WATER!!! yeah water ... They say if you feel like you are hungry try drinking a glass of water first. Lets see what happens. I'll let ya know tomorrow
Stand back, say a prayer and cheer me on.
