All In All: Successful

As my first day back on campus comes to a close, I find myself reflecting upon the successes and not-so successful events that happened. Honestly though, for a Monday, today was truly magnificent. I woke up without any problems, and I went to workout. My plan was to run a "fast" mile this morning, however, my standard of fast is to beat my last time of 9:16. As I crossed my mile finish line (in my mind), I looked down and saw that 10:11 was my time. At first I was of course disappointed, I wanted to beat my PR.

I was determined not to beat myself up over it, so I decided that the silver lining was that I could have still been in bed.

After I got my breathing down, I wanted to do more--but what? I had sketched out my weekly workout plan, but I only had yoga on the agenda (which I didn't even attend because I had a class at that time). So my friend and I did some abs, and headed out. I wish I would have put more effort into that workout, but again, a small workout is better than no workout.

On the plus side, today is Meatless Monday which I followed to a T with an veggie egg white omelet and an orange for breakfast, a salad with only veggies and raspberry vinaigrette for lunch, and a frozen southwestern fresca meal for dinner. For snacks I had a pack of fruit snacks, a yogurt parfait, a rice cake, some trail mix, and Triscuits with hummus. I ate more than two hours before bed, and I drank half my body weight (in ounces) of water today.

Overall? :Success. The only thing that would make it feel more successful was a better workout. I have a circuit planned for tomorrow, so hopefully it gives me the satisfaction of a harder workout.

I have a great schedule where I can workout, eat a great breakfast and a regular lunch, and do my homework all within normal hours of the day, and still go to bed before ten. All in all, everything is going great, I'm just nervous for weigh in.

Speaking of my bedtime, buenas noches:)
