Wednesday

Today started out rough.  Didn't get a good night's rest, too much on my mind I guess.  Trying to brainstorm new and innovative ways to change my fitness and nutrition habits.  Got up around 6:30 am and I had classes pretty much all day.  I did have a two hour break, however, motivation to be productive with any type of school project was lacking. 

I got home around 5:30 pm today and was completely wiped out!  I decided a quick power nap might help.  It is amazing what 30 minutes of shut eye will do for your evening!  

My thoracic spine near my Left shoulder blade has been bothering me today so I decided to forgo the INSANITY workout for a treadmill interval training.  It was just what I needed today!

and then about 10-15 mintues of stretching.

Overall a good workout today!  Just needed a break from the INSANITY!

Food Intake for the day:

Breakfast- 1 egg white, 1/2 c egg beaters Southwestern style, 1 slice whole grain toast dry, 1/2 c blackberries, 1 c 1% milk, 3 c black coffee, 1/2 Simply Orange OJ

Snack 1- Odwalla bar chocolate and walnut (delicious, it was like a brownie, only good for me!)

Lunch- 1/2 Maggiano's classic baked rigatoni pomodoro, 1/2 c blackberries

Dinner- 1 can Progresso Southwestern Style chicken, handfull of tortilla chips

Tomorrow I'm headed to Austin for a long weekend of non-stop stuff.  My goal is to do my best to stay on track and at least get my workouts in tomorrow, Friday and Saturday.  I am also going to aim for getting quality, healthy food into my body instead of the normal intake of beer and queso when I am out of town!  Wish me luck!
