"Week Two" Thursday

Breakfast: 1/2 PB and Honey sandwich
Lunch: Lean NY Steak with Chimichurri sauce (off the healthy grill selections at work) a tomoato and fresh mozarella salad H20
Snacks: I was bad again! I ate two handfuls of whole grain goldfish. I know I am kidding myself, how good can baked whole grain Goldfish be? At least they are fish! :D Ate a ricecake and an orange. H20
Dinner: Turkey, tomatoe, sprouts, swiss cheese, mustard on 7 grain bread. A handful of trailmix. 1 glass of unsweetened chocolate Almond Breeze.
I feel like I am eating too much, but the truth is, my appetite that I lost after my break-up is back and back with a vengeance! I want to eat everything! I have resisted all kinds of crazy snacks at work, Skittles, Kit Kats, dried sugary mango, peanut M&Ms.. Oh man, you don't even know what kind of yummy dead food we got lying around my desk. I have to literally 'move' food to other parts of the office when I get severely tempted.

Okay, this blog is good because I am held accountable. I woke up at 5am so I could go to my 630am workout. I looked at the clock and decided I could sleep another 15 minutes. I rolled over and when I rolled over again, it was 855am!!! Oh my gosh, NO IT WASN'T!!! Oh yes, it was...

Sigh! I really wanted to go to the AM session so I could go to my first belly dancing class... you know, balance the feminine with hardcore testosterone pumping workouts. So, I debated... what should I do?

I ended up calling Sal, Rudy's 'right hand man' and our faithful attendance keeper. I asked him if me going to last Saturday's workout could count towards me missing today... he said it should probably be the Saturday AFTER you miss and not any of the ones before. So... I fully intend to go this Saturday and I wanted to get my sweat on in a different way tonight. I let Sal know I would see him on Saturday.

Oh yeah, on an aside...a few days back, I saw an snippet of Generation Kill on HBO. It was the football scene. Guess who I saw there? None other than our very own, Sal! He was flexing, taunting and laughing in the background with his team. So crazy to see someone you 'know' show up unexpectedly in a movie scene. haha. Rudy is expected, Sal was not. I couldn't help but giggle to myself, "Woah! There's Sal!"

So... guess what? You can never really be sure of much in life. Especially traffic. Yeah, I missed the belly dancing class today! Arg for traffic! So, no Rudy program workout and no BD. :(

Instead, I went home and got to work on organizing my bills and some "very important" Facebook postings. Seriously though, it was kind of good that I had nothing else to do but the bills because having that out of the way gives me peace of mind. Kind of like the feeling of doing the laundry after it has been way too long. Maybe it was an underlying strressor and I didn't even know how it was affecting me. Two months in a row, I kept getting a 'late fee' on this one bill. Now, I KNOW I have been paying this. I haven't been late once on any payments, so I meant to call the creditor but it wasn't that pressing because I knew I had back-up; my bank statements show I paid. Turns out I was sending in my payments too early, so they sometimes posted to the month prior, making it out like there was no payment or a late payment for the month I was paying for. In any case I got that squared away, so there's my lemonade from the lemons tonight.

I wanted to go for a run to get some exercise in, but it was already too dark and in Martial Arts, we learn 'positioning'. Which is basically, don't put yourself in a position where you could get into trouble. A female running at night alone, might be bad positioning. So, I did squats and high knees indoors.

MAN! I better never 'snooze' again!

I'm refocused and ready for my two more workouts this week. I am making Friday and Saturday. I wonder if someone goes two in the same day if that counts as two of the four you need to do in one week?

Dear Reader, don't be like me and take it for granted that traffic will be on your side and don't try to pick up those extra ZZZ's there will be plenty of time for that once we hit December ;)
