We overslept our alarms and instead of waking up at 5am, we woke up at 7am. Thus, it was a mad scramble to get to work and exercise was out of the question (guess we may spend some time on the Wii Fit tonight).
Food:
- Breakfast (7:30am) - Braum’s Egg/Cheese biscuit, hash browns, 20oz chocolate milk.
- Lunch (11:30am) - Turkey ham salad sandwich on whole wheat w/ fat-free cheese (5pt), pretzels (2pt), string cheese (2pt), fat-free flan (2pt), small pear (1pt).
- Snack (2:30pm) - torte (6pt).
- Dinner (6:15pm) - 2 Hebrew National reduced fat beef hot dogs w/ low calorie buns (4pt), 1/2 cup vegetarian beans (2pt), handful of tortilla chips w/ dip (5pt), 2 bite size dark chocolate cherry Three Musketeers (1pt).
- Snack (10:00pm) - WW dark chocolate raspberry snack bar (1pt), fat-free milk w/ 1 tbsp Starbuck’s mocha powder (3pt).
Exercise:
- 9:15pm - (yes, P.M.) 3.1 mile (5K) run in 33:50.67 for 679 calories burned and a max BPM of 167 (+7 activity points). A very cool run (45ºF) and extremely quiet (more so than on Sunday’s run). There was a thick fog and everything was mostly still when I took out the trash at 8:30pm. I stood outside for about 10 minutes enjoying the stillness and realized, “I want to go running now.” So I went back inside, changed clothes and went for a run while my wife worked on organizing the Pampered Chef order she received today. I am SO glad I went.
State of Mind:
- Very content. I’ve had three very stressful days and I missed doing my run this morning. When I finally decided to do one this evening, it just sorta hit me “why the heck not?” It rarely occurs to me to go for a run in the evening and now that I went, I may do it more just because it is a great way to end the day (not just start one) and I know I’ll sleep much better tonight. It was also a stress reliever for me, which I very much needed. Oh, and running my best time ever kinda helps that feeling of contentment too.
Tomorrow:
- I dunno… may still go do weights in the morning, but I think I’ll just relax and maybe get more work done in the morning instead. We’ll see.
