Today will be the real first hurdle. I slept in too much (man, I have got to get to bed earlier!) and missed the morning strength training. Michele promised that I would regret it if I did the workout just before coming home... so I'll have to do it tonight, or first thing tomorrow morning. Need to recommit!!
Well, food isn't exactly going to plan, but still not so awful.
The Abs Diet has a special daily smoothie, for which I've procured all the ingredients but the yogurt. I'll get it tomorrow. Without the ice cubes and blender, it tastes like watery chocolate oatmeal. Yeah.... well, it'll be worth it for the right body.
What else? Can't get fish cooked around here. Can't get eggs, either. But I've overloaded a little on the whey protein so maybe it'll be okay.
Had the Abs Diet smoothie before my workout. Worked out. Eh. Some things are working better than others... but some of those are hardly working at all. It doesn't help that the multi-workout universal equipment thingy doesn't really support all the types of workout things I am supposed to do.
Had about 6 ounces of roasted turkey breast. I should probable have something else, but I have a headache, and I'm sleepy.
Last night I decided to start a new health program. It started because I wanted to eat something, and the hotel I'm in doesn't have a restaurant or dinner buffet, and the only restaurant in walking distance was Wendy's, and I figured that
Men's Health would have a suggestion about what to get from Wendy's if I'm watching what I eat. (They do: a plain baked potato and a small chili; more on that later). While on the site, I saw that they have a contest to try out a new exercise program, and I decided to do it.
A main staple of the plan is to drink a daily smoothie, and to eat often (small meals). I'm trying a little today, but I don't have the right foods -- I'll have to do a little shopping tonight, I think.
The trouble right now is that I'm having a mid-afternoon sleepiness attack.
Here's what I had this morning (around 9): a "
Snapple-a-Day" drink (mango lime)
At 11, I had a Slim-Fast
Rich Chocolate Royale shake
At around 1, I had an Odwalla
Blueberry B Monster drink.
And now, I'm getting sleepy, and although my tummy feels full, I'm still wanting to eat something. Perhaps it's just a little boredom?
Working on cup #4 of water.
So, the baked potato and the chili filled me up, but man was I craving a nice big dollop of cheese on that thing. Probably would have been a little better with some broccoli on it, too.
