A Hot Mess at the Gym

Workout: Day 27                                                                             Whole 30: Day 5

Today was a weird day, workout-wise.  We planned to go to the 11:30 Pump Express class.  Knowing I had some time, I joined some other ladies here for breakfast and coffee at The Island Scoop.  I had Scrambled eggs with lots of veggies and bacon.  And before the Whole 30 crowd jumps on me for eating out, they made them Whole 30 compliant. :)  

So I was well nourished.  When I got home from breakfast, I was feeling shaky for some reason.  If I felt like this in the past I would drink a glass of OJ to see if that helped.  Today I had some Sunflower Butter and an apple.  And left for the gym.

Apparently, my day was more off than I thought.  I thought we were early for the 11:45 class.  But obviously we were late for the 11:30 class.  Oops.

Luckily(?), the instructor was having an issue with her music and we had some time to get all of the equipment together.  Then I realized I forgot my headband.  Class with a big hank of hair hanging in your face isn't fun.  I was just having a hard time in class.  I felt a bit light headed.  I sat out the last set of exercises (shoulders--you don't use those muscles much, right?).

I came home and ate some leftover Corned Beef and Cabbage that Brian kindly reheated for me.  Then I headed upstairs to take a nap.  I couldn't fall asleep, but I enjoyed being in my warm, electric blanket cocoon.  Did I mention it was freezing cold today?

So to summarize:  Felt like crap.  Did it anyway.  Took a break.  Feel better now.

Now to figure out what we are having for dinner. . .

The Final Stretch

Workout:  Day 26                                                                              Whole 30: Day 4

Today there was a bit of wake-up call at the gym.  It is February 27.  The Make Your Way Across America Challenge ends on March 14th.  I need to complete 40 workouts by then.  Do the math.  I have to workout every day between now and then. Yikes.

I have blocked off all of the workouts in my calendar.  

Today I did the virtual bike trainer again. It was good to stretch out my legs since I was still really sore from Tuesday's Pump class.

Easy, delicious lunch




The Whole 30 went well today too.  
  • Breakfast:  Eggs, Canadian bacon, cantaloupe, and blueberries.
  • Lunch:  Rotisserie chicken, sauteed snow peas and red peppers.
  • Dinner: Corned Beef and Cabbage

Workout: Day 25                                                                          Whole30: Day 3


Not much to say about today.  Did a DVD workout.  Pilates.  Abs. Enough said.

Ate what I was supposed to eat. 

So much fun.
