Day 8

I dodged spin like a bullet today.  Went to a teaching conference and after 2.5 hours of driving round trip I opted out of another 40 minutes of driving to and from spin.  Being lazy and unmotivated after a long day on my a$$, I contemplated laying in bed and not working out at all.  I then thought about how I would have to admit it to you so instead I gave myself a kick in the pants and went for a run/walk with my dog Maggie.  Because Maggie usually takes ME for the run (not the other way around), I pondered slipping on my running shoes and sliding out the back door, but homegirl always knows and incessantly started barking at me and wagging her fluffy (a polite word for chubby) bodice around the kitchen guilt tripping me to take her along.  The guilt trip worked but I couldn’t find her leash and ended up having to create a makeshift leash by tying a rope my brother found in my dad’s truck around her collar (passer byers must have wondered).  This was the first road run I’ve done in 5 months and I was tired.  My energy level wasn’t the highest but I did take a few sporadic breaks and sprinted it out on my way back to the mail box.  I think my running partner and I have a lot of getting in shape to do.  

Food Journal for today:

Breakfast- Coffee (with rice milk and a packet of Stevia) and a small portion of rice cereal

Snack- Blueberry fat free Greek Yogurt

Lunch- Eggplant wrap with mozzarella cheese, roasted peppers, oil/vinegar, and artichokes (good but too oily), apple chips (these were really good because they weren’t fried and the ONLY ingredient in the bag were apples!), a low cal Vitamin Water. 

Post workout- Rehydrated with 2 servings of Goya coconut water (MY NEW FAV!)

Dinner- The madre made pizza on fresh whole wheat dough crust with raw spinach, a mix of left over real cheddar and soy cheese.  Yummy!  

 

For dessert I juiced cucumber, apples, grapes, celery, ginger, and lemon.  I then added lecithin granules and flax seed oil to the juice. 

Think I added too much ginger though, it had a kick. 

With the left over carrots and half of a cucumber, I put it in a bag for lunch tomorrow. 

Workout- 2.5 run/walk
