Just a quick recap blog today. I am super busy with homework. I figured I should post it now instead of in the morning so it doesn’t eat up my work time (I work best in the AM).
Challenges for Today: Log Food & Eat 5 Veggies
- Breakfast: Garden Skillet with *broccoli, *mushrooms, *onions, *peppers, *tomatoes, and home fries. Coffee
- Starbucks Americano with splash if sugar and half & half
- Lunch: Taco salad (*romaine, *red peppers, *cauliflower rice, *salsa)
- Snack: Honey roasted cashews
- Dinner: *Cauliflower rice, tilapia, black bean salsa, *tomatoes
- Glass of wine
As you can see, I got plenty of veggies! Rob and I tried a new place for breakfast and I was super excited to see the Garden Skillet on the menu to help me kick start my challenge for today!
On another note, I haven’t eaten enough today. I’m only at about 1100 calories. I also was a lazy bum and have only walked a little over 2000 steps today. I usually make it a rule though to eat at least 1400 (less and you start to lose muscle mass) but I just wasn’t hungry today and am not looking forward to chocking down calories. Let’s just hope my guesstimates were off and that is why its so low… But I might have a spoonful of almond butter in a bit just in case…
Reminder: Tomorrow’s challenge is High Intensity Interval Training. I don’t have any clue how I am supposed to do this. I mean, I cannot use my left leg at all. Even too much walking and my doctor moans and groans. I was thinking about perhaps sitting in chair and “marching” for the recovery parts and shadow boxing for the intense parts? Any other ideas?
How do you deal (mentally and/or physically) with injuries?
I do NOT like being injured. Sure, I’m only in this boot for 3 weeks but this ankle has been cramping my style for 6-7 months (partially my fault for not getting it looked at right away even though I tried letting it rest – which is what it needed but who knew every day walking was hurting it!). I am seriously starting to go crazy from the lack of cardio though. And its killing me knowing I have to go back into it slowly. I just want to RUN! (Just to be safe, I’ll be doing C25k from scratch again after this boot is off – so don’t worry about me overdoing it!) 7 more days…
