You Would Be EmbarrASSed Too…

If you looked like this after just a 20 minute run:

         

I mean, really sweat?  Thank goodness I never wear these shorts when I run out where there’s people…or I’d probably get some laughs. Seriously though, I sweat like a monster.  A 5 minute calm bike ride makes me sweat.  Walking too and from the laundromat (like 300 ft away!) makes me sweat!  Yes, there is humidity here in Southern Texas…but I’m like this at home too, where it’s dry as heck…and then after all the sweat dries off, you can see all the SALT LINES.  Hot, I know.

Anyhow…After my nice short morning run (2.5 miles, 22.01 minutes) I gobbled down my breakfast: strawberries, blackberries, jazz apple and greek yogurt.  Breakfast of champions!

I scanned the morning away and in the midst of it all did a bunch of strength training moves: 25 standing side leg lifts, 30 back leg kicks, 25 squats, 2o pushups, 50 crunches, 50 reverse curls, 50 bridge poses, 20 leg dip thingy moves…haha.

I kept my mind pretty occupied most of the morning and settled on lunch around noon: 1/2 red bell pepper, three carrots, and a 1/3 cucumber w/ sundried tomato hummus

And on the side a piece of Nature’s Pride Bread.  Love this stuff!

Today's total for birds was pretty sad: FOUR!  I know, astronomical right?  We’re hoping for a better flight this weekend when the front finishes moving through!!!

I had a snack before doing some of my own repairs at the tower: grapes (seriously, these babies are soooo crunchy and juicy!) and a Superfood Odwalla bar.

Then I finally got my lazy bum working on my bike.  I got a flat yesterday so I had to leave it at work, which was why I ran this morning (hence, motivation to get home quickly without getting eaten by mossies!).  I did a fabulous job and was able to ride it home. All 2.5 miles of it. :)

After work I actually stayed at the tower for a bit longer so I could do more Strength Training: Repeat of moves from earlier, then add in 40 more pushups, 3 45 second planks, 25 laying side leg lifts, 25 laying inner leg lifts, 1.5 minutes of front punches, 1.5 minutes side punches, some yoga balancing moves, and some tai chi.  Then I biked home.

I was not feeling much for dinner so I had my leftover Indian food from Sunday Night, mixed with spaghetti squash and a Quorn Cutlet, on top of some spinach.

And of course some fruit on the side: peach and kiwi.

Now chewing gum, going to run and get dried laundry and clean sheets, and read up on your wonderful blog lives!  Ciao!
