What I Ate Several Hours Behind Schedule:
Since I went got to work almost 3 hours later than usual, my whole eating schedule was thrown off. I didn't eat breakfast until 11:30.
- breakfast: Fiber One, blueberries, and Almond Breeze, with coffee and fat free half and half
- lunch: PB7J on lite bread, carrots, celery, red bell peppers, and cherries
- snack: Soyjoy, string cheese, medium banana *
- dinner: parchment tilapia, 1 c. brown rice
- dessert: 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies
*yes that is writing on my banana. It's directions to an appointment. I ate the banana in the car on the way there.
What I Did to Try to Wake Myself Up:
I dragged by butt out of bed at 8 am (remember, I didn't go to bed until 4am) and decided that since I was going to be late going to work anyway, that I should go to the gym before I went in. My reasoning was twofold. First, it might help wake me up and energize me for the day, which I desperately needed, and second, I knew I wouldn't want to workout when I get home b/c I would be so dead tired.
I did 10 minutes on the stair monster. It almost killed me. You people who do 99 minutes are crazy. I hope to be you some day. Then I did 12 minutes of intervals on the treadmill, followed by some stretching. It may have only been 25 minutes at the gym, but it was a great workout. Seriously, I was still sweating an hour later at work, and I had SHOWERED.
Total for the Day: 28 points (1590 calories), 25 minutes of exercise, 7 glasses of water
