I suppose I should write more here than just my workout, because that can get pretty darn boring! But what??

Well, while I'm trying to come up with a good answer...my workout today:

Buy-In:

5 rounds of 5 reps each of deadlifts

111 lbs (new personal record...last time was 106 lbs)

Workout:

Cindy

20 minutes for rounds

5 pull ups (blue band)

10 push ups

15 squats

I did 15 rounds with 5 pull ups squeezed in at the end...last time I did this workout in May, I did 13 rounds with 5 pull ups...so another personal record! Whoot!

I've been slacking in the eating department...I think mostly it is that I'm getting bored with what I'm eating since I'm so darn picky so I resort to things I shouldn't be eating (a la waffles with Nutella yesterday morning!) I need to re-focus because I believe what I'm eating is very important to my energy levels and just how I feel. When I eat sugar and/or simple carbs like that, I'm starting to feel it. My head gets a bit fuzzy (like I'm really tired even though I'm not) and I just don't feel right.

I tried to do good today though...for breakfast I had 2 eggs made into an omelette with a bit of cheese, some strawberries and raspberries (I forgot the healthy fat, darn it!). For lunch I made a sandwich with whole wheat bread, italian beef, ham and turkey with a slice of cheese and some mayo (got all my "zone" groups in there!). I also had some pita chips with some hummus. I might have gone over a tad in my carbs...but those pita chips sure tasted good!

Dinner was tacos...one of Jason's favorites and one of mine too, though it can be hard to follow the "rules". I had one tortilla with a decent amount of meat and cheese on it and then had more meat and a bit of cheese just without to balance it all out. I also had a glass of soy milk (original Silk) with Ovaltine to help my muscles out after the workout today. Any excuse for chocolate milk is A-OK with me!
