2/10 eating, leg workout, outdoor run
Today was a good day. I took my certification exam in the morning to officially become a certified occupational therapist assistant (COTA) in the morning. Though I won’t know the results until next week, I am pretty optimistic. In the afternoon I ran outdoors. It’s a beautiful day in Ohio, almost 60 degrees. Awesome. I had a pretty good run, too. It was the first outdoor run I’ve tried since I’ve been training for my 5k. The course was 2.9 miles (according to gmap-pedometer.com) and I ran a huge majority, other than the leftover snow piles I had to step over and the large puddles I had to get around and a very brief breath about 3/4 of the way through.
For my leg workout, I ran into a friend of mine from work and I ended up doing a much longer workout than I normally do. We swapped machines and worked out well together. I was even able to increase some of my weight again this week. I’m getting stronger!
For my eating, because of my exam the whole day was difficult to plan. But this is how it ended up:
7am breafast: oatmeal, 1/2 cup cottage cheese
8:30: 10 almonds
test
12:45 10 more almonds
2pm (got home): grilled turkey sandwich with peppers, tomato and cheese, a big cup of coffee
run
6pm (husband was home late and I wasn’t hungry anways) 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta, 1/2 cup sugar free pasta sauce, 1 turkey burger cut up and stirred in, 2oz of crab stirred in (good mixture!)
Gym
9pm: protein drink
