Ah, Wednesday...

The end of the week is typically the hardest for me - eating-wise and working out. Don't get me wrong, I love the weekends but there's something about Thursdays and Fridays that just doesn't feel good for working out....and Wednesdays can sometimes start it off. I am starting my log a little later than normal. It's almost 8pm and I usually like to add to it during the day and finish up right before bed. Today was just a little hard to write anything before now. It didn't help knowing that due to a prior commitment that I wasn't going to make the gym tonight - instant downer when you are trying to be sure you stay on track.

So, as best I can remember for times today...

6:30 am Coffee

8:30 am 4 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 1 packet low sugar oatmeal, green tea

12:00 pm - 1 can tuna, 1 med apple, 2 thin mint girl scout cookies

The morning just flew by and I knew I had to eat (even was hungry) but needed to get through some stuff at work.

2:45 pm 4 oz tilapia, 1c rice, 1c asparagus

5:15 pm 1 scoop Syntha protein, 1c 2% milk

I experimented with making a warm protein shake...similar to a hot chocolate. It kinda worked but you still have that protein shake smell so it kind of kills the experience. I was really hungry too so I was hoping the milk would help curb the hunger knowing that I wouldn't be eating again until after 8p.

8:45p 4oz pork loin, 2c spinach salad, 1 sugar free jello cup, water

I am almost convinced you can teach any man to grill properly with the Webber Grilling Cook Book. Thanks babe for the delicious dinner :).

So, I am happily in bed before 10:30 pm and actually quite tired today. I am working from home tomorrow so I know I will be able to hit the gym. It's a leg day. I had a hard start to the day when I put my pants on and they felt smaller in the legs - ack, really? 3 weeks of training at high rep with moderate weight and this is what I get? So in a panic email to my trainer and good friend, I pitch my sob story. The result - lower reps with higher weight. Huh? I am confused, but I trust my trainer/friend so tomorrow I, fearfully, load up the weight and hit legs. I think I get it but can't explain it right now. I may bring the jump rope and do active rest. Hmm.

I am finding this blogging thing quite therapeutic in the evening. Not that anyone really reads this or cares about what's going on in my head throughout the day and I'll probably regret having had this on the internet at some point in my life. Although, aside from being appalled at the writing, not too much of interest for future issues.
