Maybe tried TOO hard today

I did well most of the day today. Worked out briefly in the morning, the usual weekday breakfast of yogurt and low-sugar oatmeal. I had a Healthy Choice frozen meal for lunch and as a treat had a two-pack of Oreo peanut butter cakesters. I came home from work, ate a snack of a small bowl of whole grain cereal with soy milk, and then did Day 2 of the Sports Active 30 day challenge.

The workout kicked my butt, lots of pounding on my feet, and then I had to run off to chorus practice. Of course, practice turned out to be two hours of being on my feet 3/4 of the time or more. WOE. I also started to feel kind of funky, probably low blood sugar from dinner being delayed on top of working out and all that standing. I'm so damn glad to be home and fed, and I'm clearly going to have to make chorus days rest days.

I made tilapia microwaved with seasoning and a smidge of butter with lots of broccoli and snow peas, and I also drank one of those wee single-serving bottles of White Zinfandel. I'm still kind of hungry, sadly, and REALLY ish I had some fruit on hand. I need to do better about keeping healthy snacks around, and in the absence of something better I'm probably going to have a small handful of sour patch kids. Oh well.

On chorus days, just do something gentle or do it in the morning, so you're not going to be tired at practice or running about at home that close to it.

Dried fruit is great to have on hand and carry about with you. I carry dried apricots or sultanas. The big bags that you use for baking with, not silly little bags.

But that's great keeping it up. Have you thought about what you'll treat yourself to if you keep it up for a month straight? I bought myself John Conolly's The Lovers for cleaning out my bedroom.

Dried fruit is a bit dangerous for me as I'm not good at eating small portions of it. Real fruit is better even if it's less convenient, alas. but I'm thinking that when I complete the 30 day challenge I'll buy myself a fun little game for the Wii. :D
