Day 58

That workout yesterday killed me. I'm so sore and have a fatigue hangover. I need a day off.

Meals
1 bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios
1 cup of milk
1 cup of water

2 tortillas
1/2 cup of beans
1/3 cup of yogurt
1/4 cup shredded cheese
2 cups spinach
1 tomato
8 ginger snaps
4 cups of water

Olive Garden:
the entire bowl of salad!--approx 4 cups
3 bread sticks
1/2 chicken Marsala approx 3 oz
1/3 cup garlic mashed potatoes
berries and sorbet dessert approx 3/4 cup sorbet, 1/2 cup berries
2 cups of water

Exercise
None

Notes:
-Olive Garden again...so yummy but so expensive and not as good for me as homemade food. My excuse is it's hard to make food at home when your kitchen floor has made your kitchen a disaster area and you can't move in there. I think I'm just being irresponsible and lazy, but it was a good date night so I'm not going to be too hard on myself. ;)
-My workout yesterday was too much. I'm feeling it today and can't move; feeling a bit sick. 'Taking a rest day.

Day 57

I've been debating whether or not I should stop working out with my friends in order to go to the gym keeping a regular schedule so that I feel like I can fit in more things during the day. With the way it is now, my schedule is all over the place jumping here and there. Because my mind wants to work in an organized fashion, this being flexible nonsense is starting to wear on me! It's such a major dilemma because working out with my friends not only has kept me motivated, and not only has made the workouts go by faster and stay fun, but it's a major social time for me. It's almost worth having this messed up schedule so that I can have that time to vent or get my thoughts somewhere else, or just have girl talk and laugh. I'm not able to go out much because of all the millions of things Andrew and I are doing at home right now.
Where's the balance here?

I want to workout at the same time everyday. I want to study, clean the house, make dinner, at the same times everyday. My mind just feels like it's more productive that way.
I don't want to drop my friends but I think I have to if only to get to a point where I'm not feeling like I'm in this procrastination crunch. I'm feeling very unproductive and time is getting shorter. This is killing me.

Meals
1 bowl Honey Nut Cheerios
1 cup of milk
2 cups of water

1 whole wheat pita
1/4 cup hummus
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cucumber
1 tomato
1 apple
2 cups of water

3 cups of water

1 Fibre One peanut butter bar

1 Whopper with cheese
3/4 Angry Whopper

Exercise
30 minutes lower body machines
20 minutes stretching
69 minutes of steady pace treadmill, no incline
30 minutes lower body machines
10 minutes stretching

Notes:
-I started out with good food then after my 2.5 hour workout didn't really care anymore because I was so done and didn't want to think of coming home to make dinner. Andrew was putting in more of the kitchen floor so take out was the way to go tonight. I have to honestly say, it was disgusting. I kept having to squeeze mayo out because when I bit in to the burger that's all I could feel in my mouth. My tastes have definitely changed. There was a time where I was adding MORE mayo to these things. PUKE!
-I may have over done the workout today. I met one friend to do our normal strength training workout, then met another friend to do an entire cardio/strength workout. I think if I were to have split these workouts up during the day, it wouldn't have been so bad but I was exhausted afterwards. I'm not going to do that again.
