Day 3: Silly Things

I woke up to a splitting headache this morning. There goes yet another day to get my workout in early. I don't necessarily mind doing my workouts in the evening, but I just figure if I try and get them done first thing in the morning, I won't have to worry about anything that may distract me from getting it done after work. The thing is, I'm really, REALLY, bad at getting up on time as it is (ask my husband, I like my snooze button way too much)! maybe trying to take on too many goals all at once is kind of a silly thing to do. I mean, this is a pretty intense workout program I'm doing, plus I'm trying to really watch what I eat. Maybe trying to get myself up out of bed an hour and a half or so earlier than usual would just make it harder to stick to everything, you know? So far I haven't had any trouble with just making sure I do my workout as soon as I get off work. Maybe I can take on the morning thing in a couple weeks...
I get ready for work and get a whole bag full of healthy things for my lunch and snacks for the day: tuna, whole wheat bread, plain yogurt & berries, jerky, and the like. I walk right out the door and drive all the way to work three towns away without it. What a silly thing to do. So no breakfast, no lunch, and no snacks... swell. Luckily, I was saved by Jimmy John's! Every so often they come around and bring small sandwiches to sample. I had breakfast! Turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and sprouts. There was a little mayo, and it was on white bread, but I figure it's a better choice than the donuts that were still in the break room! For lunch, I got myself some El Pollo Loco. Fire grilled chicken with steamed vegetables and beans. Not too shabby.
I still have my headache when I get home, but I know I need to get my workout done. Luckily today is Shoulders and Arms, so not a lot of running or jumping around to make my head hurt more. In fact, by the end of the workout, it was starting to feel a lot better... but I forgot one thing: Ab Ripper X. Silly me. I was complaining about core the past couple of days... Yeah, I won't be doing that anymore! Ab Ripper X is brutal! Over 250 sit ups! 11 Different kinds! I weep, and wail and gnash my teeth (well, okay, I didn't really weep), but I make it through the workout. I can't do all the reps of every single exercise, but that should get better with practice! Unfortunately, with all the grunting, groaning, and straining, particularly in my neck, my headache came back. Boo! I took some ibuprofen, get a little something to eat, and do another silly thing: Go to my zumba class...
