HOLY EXHAUSTION! :shock:
Although I’d say the first day was a definitely a success, it certainly doesn’t make it any less tiring. Wow…I forgot just how difficult this transition can be!
Workout
Luckily, I still had some energy in me after school to head to the gym. While I was there, I completed a killer cardio combo:
- 35 minutes on the elliptical (doing the interval course)
- 10 minutes on the stationary bike (again, doing the interval course – “3 on, 1 off”)
- 10 minutes on the Stair Climber (doing the “fat burner” course at a level 11)
I blame those last 10 minutes on the Stair Climber for my exhaustion…that was one INTENSE session! Whew! Despite feeling completely wiped on my way home, it was definitely worth it. I can’t wait to feel the soreness tomorrow – it’s been a while! AAAAND, the foot was feeling great, so I’m looking at that as a good sign. :-D
(Althooooough, maybe the lack of pain in my heel has something to do with the fact that my feet were already killing me after standing on them in heels all day long? Oh yeah, and lets not forget the 4 beautiful new blisters from the new shoes today. I don’t know…just sayin’.) ;)
Dinner
Knowing that I would have a BUNCH of work to tackle this evening, Jay took care of prepping some chicken for dinner. We had some roasted red pepper-marinated chicken in the freezer that we took out before leaving for work. After they were grilled to perfection (hubby is definitely a Grill Master!), I sliced up my piece and placed it on a whole wheat Arnold’s sandwich thin with some lettuce tomato, and a teeny smear of light mayo.
It may look kinda lame, but it was anything BUT! I also had some leftover Roasted Veggie Casserole on the side, but I ate it up too quick for the camera. What can I say, I was hungry gal!
I actually debated on just taking the evening off from blogging, but I just can’t seem to stay away!
Time to get back to the work…
…since I don’t think it’s going anywhere! And you can bet that there will probably be another slice of Pumpkin Spice cake involved this evening, all while watching Wipe Out on TV…this show literally has Jay and I in stitches when we watch it!
**By the way, thanks for everyone who left some questions today for my latest installment of “Ask Me Anything” – it will give me something to work on for the next few days. Feel free to keep ‘em comin’!
