Today started off cloudy and overcast...that is the 2nd day of this yucky weather...I don't like gray skies...but I got up early, had some rice cereal with almonds and almond milk, topped with flax seed, then headed to the gym for what was suppose to be a zumba class, but turned out to be cardio dance! It was an awesomely fun class! I so love the instructor for this class..she is full of energy and craziness! It helps you relax and enjoy it. This was a high energy class with lots of high impact...loved it!! Then I headed up to the gynm to lift weights...I worked bicepts, tricepts and shoulders today! Felt good to be lifting after a couple of days break...
I came home and got a cliff bar with almond milk, ran to the libriary and then hung out at home and tried to clean a bit...that seems to be never ending. We chose not to try the pool today with the gray skies and I planned to run tonight...For lunch, I had a roast beef sandwhich on all natural 12 grain bread with a spinach dip for the topping on it. The spinach dip was homemade...so yummy! I tried to study for a while, but fell asleep for 3 hours!! My kids actually let me nap for that long...my 14 year old even told daddy I was tired and needed to rest! She woke me up and told me dinner was ready. She had boiled shrimp, made couscous and mushrooms! Way to go Celeste! We enjoyed dinner and then I did some yoga and took a bath. I didn't run today. It was sunny and hot this afternoon and after my nap I just felt stiff and not much up to running...trying to listen to my body, but still do what I need. Since I am not a napper, my body is telling me it is tired...could be from late nights this weekend, just needing to catch up on sleep....could be needing to balance my nutrition for the increased workouts...I think I am going to start tracking cals in and out for a couple of weeks to make sure I am eating enough for what I am doing...
All in all it was a good day and I appreciate the extra rest time!
extra rest time is okay .. sometimes you need it.
