I woke up Thursday morning and felt like Aldous Snow the night after a Jeffery. So I hit the snooze bar about 3 times and then said screw it I need to sleep today! (A little “Get Him to the Greek” reference there. Which you all should see if you are under 40 and remember 80’s rock and metal stars) It turns out that it was a really good idea to take the day off. When I got to the gym this morning I felt great and really wanted to be there. I cranked up the iPod to none other than the Motor City Madman, Mr. Ted Nugent! Nothing quite like the intro to “Stranglehold” and Ted’s blistering solo to get the blood flowing through your veins. After a 3 minute warm up on the stationary bike I jumped on the treadmill for 27 minutes of running. Today was the first day that I actually ran for 3 miles without stopping! I finished up with 20 minutes on the elliptical adding another 1.25 miles to my workout. Since I got a little confidence up from my run this morning I am going to go for a real jog on real Earth tomorrow around Lake Lynn. Hopefully I can make it around the lake once without stopping. So for today’s dietary treats I started off with 32 ozs of water, 14 ozs of coffee and a Carnation instant breakfast shake with 1 cup of 1% milk. For my 10am snack I had a turkey sandwich with 1 tbsp. olive oil mayo and no cheese today. At 11:30am I had an apple and a package of StarKist tuna. An amazing fact I found on the livestrong.com website is 1 large tuna package is only 210 calories and has 75% of your daily requirement of protein. Finally, I finished off my daytime eating with a bowl of Campbell’s Healthy Request chicken tortilla soup. I think that I might be addicted to that soup. I have destroyed 96 ozs of water not including the coffee and shake so I’m feeling very hydrated right now. So what should I have for dinner, sushi, fish tacos, or more likely another bowl of Campbell’s soup? \m/
