Thursday
How did I let yesterday slip by?! I was so completely busy. Started the day with a powerbar and my regular math class. The four hours between my classes were packed with readings and sketching. I managed to load about 25 lbs worth of books and odds and ends from my room into a backpack and squat with it, but after 3 sets I was so sweaty. My room is too hot for this. I finished up with some sets of push-ups. Then a ridiculously long art class! Standing in the same position with one arm straight in front of me and one arm scribbling on an easel painstakingly slow for 3 hours was horrible! I am surprised at how tired it made me and I was in bed at least a full hour earlier than normal.
This morning I still pressed snoozed more than 3 times but was up before 8 am. I am running low on food here so I had haddock for breakfast with iced coffee with coffee flavored whey mixed in. My quads are surprisingly sore, perhaps because I didn’t do a warm-up before I started. Wait - when I do dumbbell squats in the gym I warm up with 40 lbs and yesterday I was only doing 25 lbs. That’s weird. I can’t have gotten that out of shape. I am going to stretch everything out tonight really good. Tomorrow I can get my gym membership and start doing real workouts. Also tomorrow is grocery day and chicken breast is only .99 per lb this week. (You know your addicted when you get excited about that lol) Looks like the rest of the week is going to be chicken and organic broccoli for lunch and dinner.
OMG I just checked my average salt intake for this week and the past two weeks (on fitday) and I am hitting 150% almost every day! Definitely no more canned soups. One can has 1,000 mg. That’s what I aim for in a day, not a meal. Other culprits include power bars, which I only have one left. Processed cheese slices, frozen Ians chicken nuggests, kettle chips and my salted nuts. These only have 200-300 mg but I have each of those things almost every day. Good thing they are all almost gone and I’ll go grocery shopping for real and take the time to buy whole foods. Unless of course there are yummy nutrition bars on sale! But honestly, I’ll keep a keen eye on this and see if I notice a bloat reduction.
