My stupid mistake this morning

LNMaresca@gmail.com's picture

I was all good this morning. I did 45 minutes of kickbox (I have 30 minutes of step when I get home from work), and I really took time to carefully plan my menu today.

For breakfast I had oatmeal and egg whites and a glass of water.

For my mid-morning snack I made a protein shake with a banana and skim milk.

For lunch I'm having a turkey sandwich with veggies.

For my mid-day snack I'm having a hard boiled egg and then celery and carrots with hummus.

For dinner I'm having salmon over spinach and asparagus. Then an apple with some almond butter.

After my morning workout I made my protein shake and put it in the fridge to keep cool while I ate breakfast. Naturally I forgot it in there when I left for work and realized when I was about halfway there. UGH! So now I have to improvise my mid-morning snack based on what I have here. I keep egg substitute in the fridge here so I'll have a 1/2 cup of that and I'm going to try to grab a banana to go with it.

Boot Camp

Well, boot camp is what I thought of after Wednesday's workout w/ my Dad. I hardly used any weight, just very light dumbbells but the exercises were different that anything I was previously used to. We did dumbbell squats, lunges, step ups onto a folding chair and some stiff legged deadlifts for the legs. I've also been getting some pretty good workouts in with the Wii that are also doing a nice job of working the muscles in my hips.

I know I got in a nice meal of fish, vegetables and orange juice today but am having trouble recalling much else. Today and yesterday are kind of blurred together because I was up most of the night studying for my chemistry final today so I know I've drank a lot of coffee but I also think I did pretty well on that test and have a very good chance at getting an A in the class - either way, I did what I could.

One step back, but moving forward

Exercise:

32 minutes treadmill intervals (2.2 miles)

Food:
Meal 1: Protein shake, oatmeal
Meal 2: Cereal w/rice milk
Meal 3: Spinach and swiss cheese pita, 1/2 deviled egg
Meal 4: err ... snickers bar
Meal 5: Smart Choice Lasagna Florentine

Can't really give a nutrient total for today's meals, because Meal 3 came from our office deli. I managed to get off this morning with my food for Meal 2, but totally blanked on bringing eggs or anything else for Meal 3.

Then we got let go at 3 (early holiday release.) I'd planned on taking my almonds/carrots with me to munch on while I headed to the grocery store. Unfortunately, by the time I actually got out of the office, it had completely slipped my mind.
