Day 26 - Feeling Stronger



Missed yesterday because I was so busy. Mom had surgery (went well) and that took up a large portion of the day, then meeting at my office last night. Boy was I tired. But the day wasn't all lost. I learned a few things:

1) I prepared and packed well for my time at the hospital, so I was proud about that. I had wondered how people with jobs can handle preparing all this food, but I know that if you take a moment to prepare, you can do it, so there are no excuses for not eating healthy, it's simply a decision.

2) I didn't get to do any formal cardio, so I used the stairs at the hospital, did some exercises from my chair and walked A LOT.

So today...

I was SO tired from yesterday, had gotten less than 4 hours sleep the night before, so was up from 3:45am - 11:30pm, then up at 4:20am with my husband, back to bed at 4:50, then up again at 7:40am to get ready for my 8:30am workout with my trainer (aren't you tired just reading this so far?)

The workout was nothing less than BRUTAL!!! But I did do leg presses with 230 lbs, which my trainer seemed impressed that I could do. And I actually wore a sports bra to the gym with no shirt over it. That was a big step for me. I only did it because my trainer asked me to, and I'm coachable! So it was a really good workout, I'm sure I'll really feel it tomorrow.

Eating was very good today. I'm spending the night at Mom's tonight so I packed well. Planning on doing a 5k in the morning, thankfully it's at 8am instead of 6 or 7.

Cheat meal tomorrow, wonder what I'll have??? I think I want a Ribeye Steak with Shrimp and I think I'm going to make it myself.

That's it for today!
