I felt weirdly hungry and nauseous on the train this morning, which is kind of weird. I'm hardly ever hungry before 9 am, so I went straight to the kitchen when I got to work. On the menu today was the same old Ezekiel cereal and some watermelon (yum)!
A few hours later I grabbed a light string cheese:
For lunch I was joined by a special surprise guest!
Eating with people is so much better than eating alone :)
I had a turkey sandwich, raw veggies and an orange:
I went to the gym straight from work so I had a peanut butter chocolate chip larabar around 5.
Today I downloaded My Fitness Pal onto my phone and I hated it, as I knew I would. I'm WAY more of a pen and paper type of girl. Here's why I didn't like it:
1. I hate being on my phone all the time
2. The service in my building isn't great so it took SO long to search for one thing
3. I'm not crazy about tracking my food to the calorie
I made it through breakfast then moved on to regular paper. I decided to count my calories today just to check in and see where I'm at. I do have a goal of where I want to stay around and I wanted to make sure I was doing that. Absolutely not becoming a full time thing, but I think it's always good to check yourself!
I made it to my Cardio Dance gym class right in time at 6:30. I was pretty nervous all day because I haven't been to a gym class like this in so long and I'm still pretty out of shape. I'm so happy I went though, and I did surprisingly well. Cardio Dance was similar to zumba except more pop songs and pop dance moves instead of Latin music or dance. Still tons of Pitbull though :)
I'm definitely gonna keep going but there were a couple of things that bothered me:
- The instructor was pretty low energy -- she was into the moves and the class but was pretty quiet.
- The warmup and the cool down were exactly the same (this takes up about 10 minutes of the class so a little creativity would be nice).
- One of the songs played was Gangham Style, which I haaaate. And we did the dance moves. It was pretty torturous for me.
Anyway, I'm really happy I went but I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow. I haven't done zumba type moves in a looong time and I'm already feeling it.
When I got home it was time for dinner! I had whole wheat pasta with some of the ground turkey from last night, and the same walnut and pear salad. So good!
And I got to use my favorite spoons from Africa!
Okay that's enough for tonight. I am beat. Good night!
