Today has been an emotional day for me. It was my first Mother's Day without my Mom and my emotions were all over the place. A good cry at church with a friend seemed to help, but I still felt drained today. I should have done a long run today, but decided to take some time and deal with my emotions and really look at my meals and what I need to be doing. For me finding balance is going to be key to doing this long term and that means fitting my life as a youth pastor into that. Teens eat lots of pizza and chips and junk in general. Tonight I allowed myself to have one slice of pizza, but passed on the rest of the junk including soda! That was good for me!
I also took time today to come up with somewhat of a schedule and menu for this week that will allow me to eat more often and there for more food which should help with my energy level. It will look something like this....
7am Breakfast
8:30....run
10:00...snack
1:00....lunch
4:00...snack
4:30...gym...weights, cardio
6:30....dinner
9:00...snack
10:00 bed
This is the plan and hopefully it will work. I may have to set a reminder on my pc or wathc for snacks because I am not a snacker by nature.
So no workout today....dealt with emotional stuff and that seems to be helping how I feel.
Nutrition....
Breakfast...cheerios, almond milk, banana
lunch....chicken, asparagus, mushrooms, carrots, sweet potatos
Dinner....pizza
I drank my gallon of water today.....
This week will be a better week as I get my nutrition figured out.
I also spent some time studying today.
