Soy Milk and Creamer |
I don't remember having a morning snack but can't be sure.
Lunch was a Subway sandwich. I went with my standard 6-inch on wheat, chicken breast, double meat, no cheese, veggies, jalapeno and oil/vinegar as my only condiment. It did the trick. My cold is not only hanging on but seems to be making a comeback before it was even gone and I can hardly taste anything anyway.
I didn't have an afternoon snack either, which is probably fine given last night's fried chicken dinner. I had a slight headache for most of the day and I really needed to exercise to let off a little stress. I went to the gym after work and rode the bike for 25 minutes. My legs were not thrilled, which I imagine has to do with yesterday's 10-mile run, but I did it. That was followed by back/biceps/core. I managed 3.75 pullups followed by 3 pullups. Not bad. I was rushed but got almost everything done. It was a decent workout but nothing to write home about.
The beef stew was not as unappetizing as it looks, though admittedly I could barely taste it. |
Wish me a better day tomorrow. And the take-home message is, don't use stress as an excuse to exercise, that's when you need it the most.
*even though this post went up today (Tuesday) it's yesterday's post (Monday). I wrote it and thought I hit "publish" but I guess not.

ReplyDeleteI have been following you and your blog for a LONG time! You have been an inspiration to me. I am back where you started back in 2007, but everytime I see you and your blog it motivated me. Not only to eat healthy, but to exercise! That is what I know I need to do inorder to be healthy.
I know you are getting comments about looking too skinny, and not eating enough. Just know that they are making those comments just because they are not used to seeing the skinny you! In a few weeks, they will not be making those comments anymore. If they are still making those comments, try to take it as a compliment! You look fantastic!!! Hopefully, I will be right there with you next year!
