Skip Spinning, Sip Starbucks

I woke up today so sore from yesterday.  All day long I was planning to go to the 6pm Spin class at the gym but my thighs are way too sore to work my legs again.  Skipping the gym tonight has nothing to do with binging on Chex mix.  I know the book recommends rest anyway so that your muscles can repair.

Columbus weather today made me ready for Spring.  The rain has been pouring and the wind is so strong, I thought my car was going to blow over.  The perfect day for soup and grilled cheese (I had neither).  My favorite part of the day was my trip to Starbucks,Grande, Non-fat Awake Tea Latte with Caramel instead of simple syrup.  Yum.

Tomorrow its back to NROLFW, Workout B.  My bag is already packed and I didn’t leave room for excuses.

 

Junky food = Junky mood

Today was a rest day.  I didn’t necessarily plan it to be a rest day but I figured since I lifted weights yesterday, I’d need a day of recovery.  Tomorrow I plan to run again to get back on the training track.

I turned today from a day of rest to a day of eating…junk.  I started the day with the intentions of drinking a lot of water and eating how I want to feel.  But after one trip to McDonald’s (double cheeseburger, fries, apple dippers, chocolate milk) and another to Jersey Mike’s (mini club sub…and I ate the whole thing), I figured a trip to Dairy Queen for a mini Nutter Butter Blizzard was a good idea.  But after thinking about all the junk I ate today, I feel sad and sluggish.  I don’t think its an issue of quantity eaten, but an issue of quality eaten.  I ate junk, I feel like junk.  Tomorrow is a new day.  I plan to get back on track and start running and yoga again.
