21 Day Plan: Day 3 Two-A-Day

Day 3

Workout:

Upper body 

Bunch of stuff I don't know what's called! 

One was called a skull crusher. I just follow around my girl Jess and she tells me what to do and fusses at me for cheating with light weight. 

I rode the bike too for about 4 miles. AND I ran on the treadmill for the second time after my half marathon and managed to not hurt myself this time.  I got 1 mile in at 9:32 so that was kind of a big deal for me.  Because I've been hurting.  And I'm slow. 

How can day to day differ so much?  I know the rules. I know I'm supposed to be prepared and know what/when/where I'm eating. But I wasn't. And other than coffee I had nothing to eat until 11:15. Breaking all the rules. But you know what?  I'm a real person with real challenges. I have shit to do! Like the not-so-fun stuff. Like getting the oil changed in my car...for TWO hours.  With nothing but another tiny apple in my purse. They had donuts inside. Fresh ones. With sprinkles. And chocolate.  But I held strong and walked past them and just smelled them.  It wasn't easy but it refused to give in!!

 

 

I was thankful when I got home for leftovers in the fridge and a banana with a little less peanut butter this time. Still too much. But less. 

I boiled eggs to have as snacks. I mangled so many freaking eggs trying to peel them. So I just ate what looked ugly!  If I judged my day based on my eggs it would be really crappy. 

I had an amazing PB&J shake. Here's the recipe. You won't regret it. 

Then guess what I did?  I had another cup of coffee. Why? Because I went to the gym. Again. Now hold on!  This isn't typical. I did my regular workout in the morning as usual and then the husband wanted to go after work. So I mostly just looked at his sweaty muscles the whole time. I didn't exert too much energy.  But I like hanging out with him so I said yes to a two-a-day. 

Dinner was on point for day 3. Salad with craisins, almonds, tomato, avocado and feta along with meatloaf and fresh green beans. It was delish.
 

 

I didn't eat anything after that because it was close to 9:00.  And I did go to bed hungry. I could have totally gone for a milkshake from Cookout. Or a frosty from Wendy's. But instead I drank some water and watched Forensic Files.
