I did a nice long workout this morning: 60 minutes of weight training, then 24 minutes of circuit training (thighs and butt) and 15 minutes of abs. After work I'll take a spin class to get the cardio in. I'm trying to mix things up a little and maybe do a little more of what I used to (hence the thigh and butt exercises) since I haven't been feeling very happy with my body lately.

To replenish after my workout I had oatmeal, 1/2 cup egg whites, and a whey protein shake (mixed with a banana and a little peanut butter). That's keeping me pretty fueled for now. A little later on this morning I'll have an apple and then for lunch I made myself a salad (again, switching things up) with lots of veggies and tofu, and a hard boiled egg. For snacks throughout the afternoon I'll have a 1/2 cup egg substitute and celery and carrot with 2 tbsp of hummus. After spin, for dinner, I plan on having sauteed chicken breast with veggies and spinach and feta orzo. It was a prepared dinner I picked up special. I hate cooking when I get home for spin. It's too late and I don't have the energy. Not that I really cook anyway. I guess I just don't like to "prepare" that late. :)

TODAY IS DAY 16

Todays Thoughts: I'm sore today from my workout yesterday. I'm surprised because it's very rare for me to be sore, even when I up my weights (I've been lifting for a long time and I take L-Glutamine after every workout). It's a good thing though, I like feeling like I really did something :)

I need to do some planning for August. We're going away for 3 long weekends. Food shouldn't be a problem, but I won't have access to a gym for workouts. I think that I'm going to plan to fit in my weight workouts during the week while we're home and then jog/walk/hike in the woods and do yoga while we're up north. I love doing yoga on the beach before anyone else is awake. It gives me a great sense of peace and serenity.
