July 7th, 2016: The Two-Day Tornado

And I here I was thinking that yesterday was a hard day! Pfff...I could go along with that, if today weren't EVEN WORSE! Storms...2 days in a row....I tried to quit...but they wouldn't let me leave. Lol...I very, very much hope that tomorrow is better. Being one-man down is hard enough, but with all of this added junk to make me miserable, I was..well...just that - miserable.

The day DRUG by and I was NOT about to be going to the gym after dealing with all of the craziness. So 5:00 rolled around, and my boss asked me to stay over a little while because we had a few towns that didn't have service, so I did...and at 5:30, I headed to the gym..haha (you thought I wasn't going didn't you!)

It was bad, really bad...lol.

I begrudgingly headed in to the Y to go to Zumba. My muscles were already hurting thanks to being stressed all day, and my head was not in it. About half way through the fronts of my thighs were cramping so badly that I honestly thought I wasn't going to make it. But then, as Zumba does...a song I really liked came on, and before I knew it the last half was over. I wasn't happy with the amount of calories I had burned to I went up and did 15 more minutes on the Arc Trainer. I'm happy to report that I burned 1,000 calories before I left. I kindof like that number. I feel like I've had a pretty successful workout.

Tomorrow will be a light day at the gym. I plan to do a quick workout and then go swimming. :) So I really had to push it today. Check!

I came home and cooked some veggie Rotini (good stuff!) It has a serving of vegetables in each serving of pasta. I like that a LOT. And the plus side to that is that Jamie will eat it too. I make my own homemade sauce because it has less calories that way, and in my opinion it tastes better.

So here is my breakdown for my food choices today:

Breakfast
2 packets of Peaches & Cream Oatmeal = 260 cals

Lunch
Half of a Turkey Sammy, Doc's Chili, & Celery w/Peanut Butter = 586 cals

Afternoon Snack
Protein Shake & sliced fresh Strawberries - 153 cals

Dinner
Veggie Rotini Pasta w/homemade Meat Sauce = 550 cals

That brings my total caloric intake for today to 1549 which is right in my target. Yay!!

My yummy lunch today.

Mmm mmm good! :)

Alright y'all...I'm exhausted! I'm looking forward to my Friday! I hope you enjoy yours!! Talk to ya tomorrow night. :) (It will probably be pretty late tomorrow since we are going swimming..just a heads up.)
