Day 4

Well its almost 11:00 at night and I'm beyond exhaustion after 12 hours of work and an hour and fifteen minutes of swimming so unfortunately tonight's blog won't be life changing (sigh of sarcasm). I'm hoping to have some time this weekend to jump into it more...so take cover! In brief, Spin kicked my ars more then I thought it would! My back was a little sore this morning but so was the rest of me! And did I mention I feel like someone kicked me in the cooch? I need to invent an extra down pillow bike seat because the gel ones aren't cutting it...sorry. Anyone who has done spin without padded shorts can probably lament with me (unless of course you were blessed with a JLo booty in which case...I don't feel sorry for you). Going upstairs at work today took willpower and so did doing flip turns in the pool tonight. MY FREAKIN ARMS ARE EVEN SORE! Totally glad I jumped in the pool tonight but I was lagging for sure. Luckily I have until Monday before my next Spin class...that means 3 more days of recovery!

As for my energy level, it was high this morning...until I eat school chicken nuggets. Yeah, BIG mistake...I'm surprised I didn't get explosive diarrhea. Ok, I'm being a drama queen but once again this is an example of my impulsivety. Once again Liz, TMI TMI. I'm hoping that continuing to do spin will help strengthen my core and my back.

I splurged a bit more than I wanted to today. I'm still trying to find the balance between being a health nut and non-obsessive. I think this is the hardest part.

Here's the food diary today:

Breakfast- I ran out of orange juice and so I tried organic grape juice instead. Mixed about 6 ounces of it with the flax seed oil and granules. It was fine but grape juice has a lot of sugar per serving and tastes too sweet to me.

Snack- 3 small slices of all natural sharp cheese, Blueberry Non-Fat Chobani Greek Yogurt

Lunch- Ended up eating 10 of the kid chicken nuggets, 1 serving of Smart Food popcorn, and a chocolate chip cookie. I totally crashed after lunch...hmmm...wonder why?!

Dinner- 2 crab cakes with a tarter sauce I made out of relish and a natural mayo substitute. Then these Pop Tarts in the pantry kept calling my name begging me to eat them...so I did....2 cherry Poptarts later and I'm in bed. I think this was my pig out day??

Exercise: Swam 3000 yards during Masters swimming today (surprised my arms didn't just fall off).

Worked: 12 hours today
