It's the weekend and as usual it's a bit of a challenge to get from here to there. I mean you workout and then you have the rest of the day and night to be tempted. To forget what you did this morning was all about getting healthy.
It was easier earlier in the year as I was trying to improve my body for the race but now I'm slacking just a bit. I haven't run since the race (don't really miss that) and I finally rode the bike yesterday for the first time since the race. I've kept up going to the gym, well except for the week of vacation right after that. I got my eating back under control for the most part. My clothes are fitting a bit snug but not as snug as they were right after vacation.
So today I'd planned on going to the gym and getting in a sweaty workout. I was inspired by meeting with Lorinda yesterday as we talked about my goals and how to achieve them. Then I got the email from a friend needing help moving. I figured I'd get a good workout from that so no gym. Much to my chagrin, circumstances prevented my friend from completing his move. Which meant no workout. So I went to the gym. I didn't go home and sit in front of the computer for the next 8-10 hrs. Monday morning I'll feel good and I'll be happy about that.
That's the kind of decisions that we need to make on a regular basis. It's fun to sit in front of the computer but life is more than bytes and pixels. I know that and will keep moving. It's the least I can do.
Breakfast: Greek yogurt and Chia seeds along with 20oz of cold water.
Lunch: Fish sandwich on a chiabata roll with tomato, hummus, and mustard. Chips and guacamole.
After workout: I wasn't real hungry so started with a protein drink. A bit later I snacked on chips, a 1/2 cup of guacamole and a 1/4 cup of hummus.
Dinner: Pot sticker soup with bacon and peas. Bowl of ice cream.
My workout was a leg workout that Lorinda gave me. I finished it off with a Kettlebell Tabata set. I was sweating!
