Today we ate the following.

Workout Wednesday
After a busy weekend, an early morning Monday and a rough Monday night I hadn’t worked out since last Thursday. I finally got back to it today and it felt great! All I did was my three circuits although I upped the reps a bit. After having almost a week away I forgot how much better I feel when I work out. I felt more energized and more awake today that I have in a while, and I didn’t even get my caffeine until noon! Having this feeling today reminded me of one of the reasons I need to make working out a priority. Too often I put it off or skip a workout all together because I’m so tired. It makes sense that I’m tired – I have a baby that wakes up at night, sometimes more than is really necessary. But I think I will actually feel more awake and more “together” if I get that workout in, even if it has to be a bit abbreviated.
